Eurovision Thread: Swiss Cheese

[bluegate]

I can't help noticing the two biggest controversies of last time haven't been addressed. The Netherlands still received no apologies for the organisors sabotaging us even after the court case said nothing happened. In fact they repeatedly indicated they were doubling down on their mistreatment of us. And we're still just attending as if nothing happened.

Time to get over it, no one cares about Joost Klein.

What importance is a court case? The judicial system not prosecuting or convicting Joost has no bearing on Eurovision's decisions.

The organisers of Eurovision set out a set of rules that they like their participants to follow and it's within their rights to disqualify a participant if these rules are broken.

Better just hope that this year's artist knows not to engage with pestering reporters.

Well, Russia is killing another competing country, whereas Israel is killing non-competitor brown people no one really cares about. Completely different circumstances.

Evidently.

Israel got more points from the public vote than Ukraine did.

Finland did pretty well, Finland also did pretty well, and Finland did decently well. The public cheesed on the Swiss hard enough that it could have been a voyage home from the semi had they competed there first. I have to check out most of the performances later, because I was on the night shift and got interrupted with work a few times.
