Despite Eurovision’s denials, an analysis reveals that the broadcast silenced crowd discontent during Israeli singer Eden Golan’s performance.
Since I can’t pin @fluxx1@lemm.ee’s comment:
The article is new. However, it is about ESC 2024 rather than yesterday’s event.
/f
This article is about last year’s performance, not this year’s. Just FYI.
There was a great bit in the UK broadcast where Graham Norton gave the game away by saying “I don’t know what you can all hear at home. A very mixed response here in the arena” 😆
Big Graham gives zero fucks. Love it.
Eurovision is a farce anyways. There is no way Germans are dumb enough to vote crappy musicians that get last place every time.
We should send Böhmermann next time with “Germany 0 Points”
Too late. The song has to release in the year of the event.
I’ve heard that it’s because their selection process is dumb and dominated by a handful of out of touch “experts” and the public only votes in the finals.
They don’t want to win because then they would be on the hook for hosting the event.
There is also a satirical song about Germany always getting 0 points
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zfnlkiPCVAThat’s basically it.
A famous example was a few years back when Electric Callboy wasn’t even invited to the national finals for selecting the song because the selection committee knew they would win but “didn’t feel the song was fit for radio”
The song in question, it would’ve been glorious.
Jizzrael tries so hard to make itself look like a legitimate country
