OK this is enough if someone has a link to change org to remove Moroccanoil and Narnia from ESC please give it to me to share it. I'm so done with them. They bullied other contestants nobody wanted them there and they even advertise themselves in NY. I don't want another dramatic ESC it's not the values it was given for. Please help me. Sign up and let's have a nice ESC next year instead of the mess it was thanks to Narnia https://www.change.org/p/ban-israel-from-eurovision-song-contest-2025

Unbelievable. And apparently the EBU doesn't even care

[silverfox66]

Even S10 (she participated in 2022) is now speaking up about the horrible experience backstage at Eurovision.

[tidalbabe]

Wow, what an impact

[dweebspace]

This is probably the only actual Eurovision post I'll make, but as someone from Friesland (the province in the Netherlands Joost is also from) there's something extra heartbreaking about his disqualification. Friesland is so often overlooked and marginalized and put away as just another backwards rural province, when in reality it has so much to offer; it has a long and incredible history. In fact, the Frisian language has existed for so long that it shares similarities with middle English. We have so much music and literature and culture, but so few people see or even respect that.

Everyone was so proud and excited that a Frisian was representing not just our province, but the entire Netherlands. And they took that away, too. It truly hurts extra hard, knowing how much this meant to an already often overlooked minority within the Netherlands.

As a Frisian person I want to say that I feel exactly the same. Honestly I would love it if we send a song in the Frisian language one day

[silverfox66]

This shitshow is still far from over. What a disastrous Eurovision.

EBU Releases Statement Regarding Incidents at Eurovision 2024 - Eurovoix

The European Broadcasting Union has released a statement regarding delegation behavior at the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.

"The EBU’s governing bodies will, together with the heads of delegations, review the events surrounding the ESC in Malmö to move forward in a positive way and to ensure the values of the event are respected by everyone."

This means that Martin will resign and Israel will get banned, right? Right?

[bitethecakedean]

Let's hope some heads will roll and both martin and noel curran will resign and both israel and azerbaijan will be booted, but gotta be honest I havent got much faith

[riaaanna]

My only post-ESC post will be this. Bambie speaking for all of us when they said fuck the EBU. A massive reform is due for ESC, and it starts by kicking out isa hell. Until then, keep boycotting the following years.

"we all know" We know. You know and choose to ignore the reports and instead spread conspiracy theories and lies

I'm not spreading anything :)

I'm pointing out a lot of coincidences.

Like the fact that A CERTAIN country's delegation has been harassing, bullying and threatening other delegations all week and didn't even get a warning. Like the fact they paid for banners, promotions and propaganda all over the world to vote them even though it breaks the rules. Like the fact that before this edition the EBU never disqualified members based on 'the rules' even when there was voter fraud, harassment or the above. Like the fact that they allowed this country to join this year's contest when excluding another - even though they are both at fault for war (this country is even worse with their blatant gen*cide of a recently UN recognised country's people). Like the fact that the whole of eurovision always had political stances (Conchita Wurst, Ukraine winning with protest songs, some countries always voting each other, ...), but when it comes to this particular one it's all 'don't be political'.

And lest not forget, the fact that the sponsor of it all has ties with the COUNTRY mentioned, paying for everything - so when Joost pointed out why the singer did not answer the question, yes I'm very coincidentally intrigued that he got disqualified based on his own boundaries right after.

How very interesting, all these coincidences...

[bramblebush2]

United by music my ass

Disqualifying Joost after he was harassed and filmed without his consent but keeping Isnotreal in the race when their team has harassed multiple contestants

Plus saying Eurovision is non political, yet they disqualified Russia after the Ukraine attacks. Even so they don't disqualify their favorite little golden child of a country (that is not in fucking Europe) after bombing and murdering thousands of innocent people.

They're setting up Isnotreal to win and giving her fucking ads and when she does they'll say to those who are angry that they shouldn't have boycotted

As a Dutch person, we should back out of this hellhole of a competition after what they did to Joost.

[rhaenella]

Cornald Maas (Dutch commentator) tonight 🧡 Couldn’t have said it better myself

[bitethecakedean]

Should repost this gif everytime the EBU does something stupid

[lovvecherrymotion]

our national broadcaster (RTP) said portugal participated in an emergency meeting and basically admitted that isr*el harassed other delegations and the ebu obviously did nothing

[juuret]

The ebu is not a clown it's a whole circus

[lucrezianoin]

some more eurovision shit show updates. Still not watching the show, just going through reddit

Käärijä is not going to give out the Finnish points, second person to refuse to do so (other person was Alessandra Mele from Norway)

Bambi from ireland has said in their instagram that Israel broadcast violated the rules of EBU, same with israeli delegation, multiple times during the first Semifinal, and they are waiting for EBU to do something. Their statement seems to imply that EBU recognizes the rules were violated.

Loreen (previous winner) will not give the prize to Israeli singer if she ends up winning the contest (allegedly, it is the Sun so take it with a grain of salt)

This goes against the EBU rules btw
