Martin GONE
KAN GONE
MoroccanOil GONE
All Current Execs GONE
Rob Holley GONE
"United by Music" GONE
maybe then this format stands a chance at living up to its potential to do some actual good by the public and its participants
understand why people have taken issue with Bambie Thug's approach to the cause but I think there is non-zero value in having someone so casually exposing how rotten the EBU has truly become
🇮🇪 Bambie Thug has confirmed that the EBU required them to remove the words “Freedom for Palestine” and “Ceasefire” from their costume in order to perform in Semi-Final 1 of
#Eurovision
2024.
gåte statement, EBU statement, RTP statement, AVROTROS statement, Swedish police statement... Angelina Mango is now singing "Statements" by Loreen in the RAI Press Centre
Israel: pls let us compete in eurovision we're literally just a baby
Israel, 5 seconds later: Malmö is a ROTTING HELLSCAPE. Sweden is a DUMPSTER. Everyone in the UK is a TERRORIST. Iceland should KILL ITSELF. The EBU is HAMAS. Martin Osterdahl is an UGLY WHORE.
any time sweden hosts ppl complain that they change the contest to be a little bit more like melfest
I hope when Iceland one day win they force all the semi-finalists to perform in icelandic
at malmo arena and one girl started saying she thinks bambie and nemo's non-binary teas are valid and martin osterdahl had an officer take her outside and then we heard a gunshot but martin said it was unrelated
did the EBU expect that this would never be mentioned? how did they think the optics on this were anything better than horrendous? did nobody realise this would come out like half an hour after their insane Eric Saade statement ?????
🇬🇧 Media: Is our entry this year the WORST SONG in HISTORY? Random NOBODY with BAD SONG chosen to FAIL for the United FLOPdom at E**ovision!
🇬🇧 Act: comes last
🇬🇧 Media: NATIONAL HERO Michael Rice places DEAD last in SHOCK CONTROVERSIAL Eurovision VOTE! Should we quit?
🇦🇿 Fahree:
“Our Eurovision song has both pop style and traditional music. We have already started preparations, our stage choreography will be really different and spectacular. Since the stage structure is very big and difficult, I will start acting lessons.”

I think not reviewing Israel at all would’ve been a better way to prevent your jurors from collectively being slandered by the majority of their own audience
"My government has no control over what this song is" do you mean... outside of the PRESIDENT OF ISRAEL instructing KAN to rewrite October Rain until the EBU stopped trying to disqualify it?
the
@EBU_HQ
for several months: Israel isn't competing in Eurovision! It's actually the national broadcaster! This is what the competition has always been
KAN in Malmö: how can we harass as many artists and delegations as possible in the span of one week and also film it
[UPDATE]
🇮🇱 According to Israel Hayom, KAN has already been asked TWICE to change the lyrics to Israel’s Eurovision 2024 entry, “Hurricane”, due to “fear[s] that [it] might be interpreted as political”.

People are very quick to forget that a Palestinian artist tried to compete this year.
Bashar understood that pro Palestinian voices going to Malmö will achieve more than any boycott.
If you’re bullying and shouting down those voices, you’re doing Israel’s work for them.
this is the most blatant international interference I have ever seen in... a EUROVISION NATIONAL SELECTION?
which is an insane idea to begin with but it is equally insane that RUV have decided to just... go along with it ?????? all smiles and sunshine abt it
🇮🇱 “…I was rightly happy, because he continued to spread evil blood plots about Israel…”
KAN’s News Editor on Bashar Murad coming second at Söngvakeppnin, after Icelandic media found he was aware of an Israeli campaign to mass-vote against Bashar.
#BanIsraelFromEurovision
Nemo having to smuggle the NB flag into the arena then Eurovision's socials using it as promo ??????????? like genuinely whose side are you people fucking on. just exploitative and greedy and hypocritical and disgusting
the EBU trying to be like “everything is normal and under control 🙂” then 5 more delegations start demanding explanations and action 😭😭😭
babes you cannot united by music your way out of this one!!
The song lyrics for "Unforgettable" reveal that Marcus & Martinus will sing about…

FURTHERMORE: NRK has reportedly given the band a list of instructions to ensure the revamped “Ulveham” meets current editorial standards.
1. Believe in it, and sing it all day long
2. Just roll with it
🇳🇴 NRK has decided that Gåte’s MGP entry “Ulveham” needs to be rewritten for next week Saturday’s final, as their current lyrics are “based on a 1,000-year-old medieval ballad.”
More:
the insistence that Joost has committed some hysterically evil crime when neither the delegation nor THE SWEDISH POLICE agree with that version of events
no warning, no room for an apology, just a completely unprecedented throwing-to-the-wolves exclusion
Please join us for two minutes of silence for the 25,040 fallen Israeli soldiers and 5,100 victims of terror.
Today and always they are in our hearts
May their memory be a blessing.
in what sane world does RTP have to pressure the EBU to get their performance uploaded because of a statement for peace confined to someone's FINGERNAILS
THEY'RE FUCKING FINGERNAILS
allowing myself to feel relieved tonight but tomorrow it's back to fuck this shitshow because how the FUCK has this contest been allowed to rot from the inside out for so long to the point where artists are being treated as poorly as they were with no consequences
this is so fucking gross and infuriating and I can only hope that SVT seriously put the fucking work in to do better by the artists for who they have a duty of care
truly I think almost nothing is as representative of the ROT that is consuming this contest as the EBU seemingly turning their backs on THE NETHERLANDS. this contest would not have lived to see TWENTY FIVE if not for them. they are OWED transparency and co-operation
