🚨 EXCLUSIVE
In new statements, the EBU directly denies that agreements not to film Joost Klein existed - but AVROTROS say evidence of these was sent to the EBU with no response.

Think it’s about time I confirm that I witnessed this behavior as well.
Israeli media/members are spying on conversations of the press in the smoking area and recording/filming secretely and without their consent.
Several media members have reported this to the EBU.
Nothing has been done.

May 13: "given (..) the fact that the police case will shortly be handed to the prosecutor, it would not have been appropriate for Joost to participate in the Final."
August 12: "This new development therefore does not have any impact on our decision."
👀 That's inconsistent.
The EBU responds:
“The decision to disqualify Mr Klein from this year’s event was made in strict accordance with ESC rules, after an internal investigation.
(…)
This new development therefore does not have any impact on our decision which we stand by completely."

Statement van de EBU regarding Joost Klein:
We are currently investigating an incident that was reported to us involving the Dutch artist. He will not be rehearsing until further notice. We have no further comment at this time and will update in due course.

Joost Klein’s criminal investigation is closed! “The investigation has come to the conclusion that the man made a movement that hit the woman's film camera. The course of events was fast and was perceived differently by the witnesses of the incident.”

So I’ve heard through sources that we might see a different way of announcing the qualifiers in the

They’ll have all 15/16 entries lined up on stage, X Factor Results style, and announce the 10 qualifiers.
I’m not sure I like it 🙊

Guess what? Eurovision did use an applause track to cover some of the booing. Here’s one example when the Dutch jury vote was announced in the finale. You can clearly hear the audio file being started, stopped and restarted.

Someone on the Eurovision Reddit has posted (or leaked?) what special effects will cost for performances this year. Interesting to see what limits on effects are. The big 5 get discounts because they perform 2x less. (Redacted the email for privacy)

"..., then not only must there be clear rules of conduct, but above all they must also be implemented CONSISTENTLY. And that’s what the responsible members of the EBU did."
I think there's several delegations that formally disagree on this and have already spoken out, Bakel.

Nederlanders vinden het prima als Maud in een slechte pruik twee uur Sneeuwwitje speelt voor hun kleuter of in de Efteling een volwassen vrouw Roodkapje. Maar als een drag queen een prinses speelt met betere wimpers en pruik tijdens een boek voorlezen is het opeens een probleem.

Please report this video. Not only is it offensive and hateful and non coherent and false, using a fellow creators face, identity and content for it with absurd accusations is harassment.
So my podcast is available for members already. I barely edit it as I think like this is the most authentic. Its kinda sad, that such things must be told in 2024. But probably some young people need to go back to school and historical classes.

Talk about immature and unprofessional behavior.

Heel benieuwd wat Joost Klein gaat doen op het Songfestival in Malmö. Deze persfoto’s maken me blij en dat we voor iets fris en eigentijds gaan ook. Enige zorg: dat het publiek in Europa niet denkt dat dit een reactie op Finland’s Kaarija is. Want dat is niet zo.

I’m still not sure what SVT is trying to say with this edition of Eurovision. Knowing that a lot of it was probably last minute scrambling due to withdrawals, it feels like most of the intervals belong at Het Grote Songfestival Feest, not the major ESC live shows.
