it was unspeakably brilliant, and out of the Post-Shum entries by far the best. Unofrtunately, this is the third year in a row now where the songwriters are 100% working the emotional manipulation angle. The whole world knows what it going on, and the continued crimes against humanity of the Russians... absolutely a contender for worst war crimes since WW2. But I strongly dislike someone using my emotional investment as a way to win a contest. Enough with 2 years of sympathy televoting.. DONATE THAT MONEY to something that would actually help a real-live person in Ukraine.

Yes of course! I love nerding out about Eurovision with other people that love it!! I like to see it as 1 big family as well! As for Bambie, couldn't be happier and I definitely want to go to their Amsterdam concert as well!

I don't. It wasn't that interesting.

I definitely agree!

You are absolutely correct on that observation!! Thank you!

@@RoyPM2 Hell yeah! Nailed it! XD Also, if it wasn't obvious at this point, nice reaction video. :)

not fair play, stupid croatia

Yeah, it was the only thing that left me with mixed feelings about Croatia. I love BL and Rim Tim Tagi Dim and I would've been equally happy with either Switzerland or Croatia winning but... I get that Croatia wanted to win so badly but in the end, some other details matter as well.

Hahaha you might be right about this, but... We shall not talk about it

fully agree with you nashtags. Let s also say that baby lasagna was infinitely more elegant than the croatian jury, when he graciously clapped when the final result was announced, even though i am sure he must have been extremely disappointed

Unfortunately, Baby missed the opportunity to speak out against homophobia in Croatia. It would have been so easy to congratulate Nemo personally, like a good loser does. Slimane managed to do it and that touched me deeply.

That’s your opinion just because your favorite didn’t win!! Salty salty…. 😂😂😂 hope you cry till May 2025!

Booing is a form of disapproval of someone or something. You cannot punish someone for showing their disapproval. This isn’t a dictatorship it’s Eurovision (a contest for friendship and _peace_ ).

@@---..---.. "booing" isn't peace. The only people who can get away with creating such a mess are spoiled little children who will ruin your day if they don't get an ice cream, and exactly the one they want. You're an adult and you should know better. You don't like Golan? Stay at home or switch the channel. You almost get the impression that the audience was forced to stay in the arena. Which they were not. And it was a dictatorship, of activists and toxic fan media.

I’m afraid your argument isn’t valid. Booing is a form of expression and you cannot censor that. I never said that booing is representing peace - it’s representing democracy and freedom of expression. You don’t have to agree with it but you have to accept it. I also believe no one was booing because of the singer but the message she is representing.

@@---..---.. Let me put it this way. You get a once-in-lifetime chance to present your music to hundreds of millions of people, you work hard for it with stylists, vocal coaches, staging designers, press and trying to pull it off as good as possible. And you're not supposed to be traumatised when you get humiliated by masses who don't have anything against you but your government? That makes absolutely no sense because it's not Netanyahu who was standing on that stage but a girl who had to stay in an undisclosed location to avoid getting into a life-threatening situation because of people with opinions like yours. That's not democracy but lunacy. As it turns out, Zelensky also supports Israel now but that didn't trigger anyone to boo Ukrainians in Malmö. Hypocrites.

This isn’t what our discussion is about. She is, undeniably, representing the country that she is singing for at Eurovision. She is a direct proxy and has been used to propagate one side of a conflict. She publicly said so. If people want to boo the representative of a country, it is their choice to do so. Since Europe is a continent prominently known for its understanding of democracy, people are not only allowed to do so, they have a right to express themselves in this fashion.

when you willingly let yourself be massively manipulated as a propaganda tool (and those lyrics didnt fool ANYOJNE we all knew exactly what it was referring to. At least Jamala in 2016 had a 72 year old story she was telling), you open yourself up to such reaction. I remember feeling sad for Polina in 2015 being booed, but now seeing the mindless drone and pro-Putin shil lshe is, Im perfectly fine with it after the fact. Frankly if the exetnded provacative behavior of her delegation hadnt become so widely known, and then overlooked while crucifying Joost - of COURSE anything tied to Israel was gonna get hate. I mean the reason she was their in the first place was the ISR president intervened personally to get the situation manipulated enough to allow them to then put on their big propaganda show on a massive worldwide stage.

Totally agree

He is talking about performances in the press room. There was no booing there but extreme, disproportionate cheering.

@@---..---.. well I can't imagine other media outlets weren't cheering for their country's performances either; I guess it was mostly the contrast that nobody else was cheering.

"treating her as subhuman". You missed who is being treated as subhuman and the location

@@may51973 we are talking about the individual person, but its hard for you to see it with how bias you are.
