    Just don’t tune in to Eurovision or interact with their media.

    It’s not like you’re gonna miss anything particularly good or musically innovative or even interesting. It’s the same old standardized pop-slop it has been for years.

        Why still bar Russia indeed. The double standard is what it’s about.

        And yeah, what else can you do? Just don’t watch it. It’s entertainment.

        You think the Eurovision Execs are gonna go down with the ship for their beliefs on matter? Or do you think “shrinking wallets” will be enough to make them reconsider their position regarding the show?

        I’m betting on the latter. But enough people have to decide to give up on a sub-par music competition for a single year.
