TaylenaStan Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 Just cancel the contest and make it a Loreen concert instead 1
Funhouse Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 Cornald Maas (Dutch commentator and part of the selection committee) says the incident wasn't serious at all, had nothing to do with Israel, and more will be revealed later 4
ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted May 11, 2024 ATRL Moderator Posted May 11, 2024 I will be selfish and ask this - do we know if NPO1 is still airing the show tonight?

I'm starting to think the reason why they made the Big 5 + Sweden perform on semi-final days, is to prevent a situation of no tape if they start refusing to perform They should wait until they're on stage live to announce they've decided not to perform then. Make it a proper impact. Can't switch to old footage at that point, at least not for the first one or two and before implementing a blanket ban on live performances. Hilarious anyway.

illia Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 This is insanity I hate Europapa the song but Joost does NOT deserve whatever is happening right now
Funhouse Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 (edited) IF what the Dutch delegation is hinting at and this whole thing is all unfair... the EBU might just have lost it's biggest financial contributor outside of the big 5 Edited May 11, 2024 by Funhouse 1

They are giving points, so I'm assuming yes. They paid for the rights already, so might as well make use of it. I' not sure how many people would be watching though 1
Fevesy Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 dddd they cant change the ads in time surely? VILNIUS 2025 AHHHH Everyone stream! 1 1 7
ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted May 11, 2024 ATRL Moderator Posted May 11, 2024 Hear me out, they were afraid Joost was gonna split votes with Baby Lasagna and *maybe* they actually want to avoid an Israeli win. #conspiracy 2 1
OnlyManInTheWorld Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 I couldn't care less about Netherlands and that tragic song, but it doesn't sit well with me that the only winner of this mess is IsraHELL.
Dante Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 Well okay then we are gonna #SettleForCroatia since there's nothing else left... 1
JennyWayne Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 Conspiracy theory time: EBU desperately needs Israhell to lose to avert catstrophe, and disqualifying Joost helps concentrate the vote on Croatia

Komet Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 (edited) Once again, DQing somebody before the finale and putting in a press release in no uncertain terms that mean that his behavior breached contest rules, means that 2) this is something more serious than israhelli delegation acting untouchable, especially if police is involved and 2) there's enough proof of it happening for EBU to act. Using whataboutism to excuse harassments is NOT a good look; you can protest israel without trivializing an attack on somebody Edited May 11, 2024 by Komet 1 4
Chemist Posted May 11, 2024 Posted May 11, 2024 Netherlands sister country, Germany, should withdraw in solidarity (their act is going to end up in the bottom 3 anyways) 1

ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted May 11, 2024 ATRL Moderator Posted May 11, 2024 If Joost was indeed inappropriate, he deserves to be DQ. But I wish we knew more about the situation. 1
