I've learnt something new today, hadn't even occurred to me. Thanks and apologies, original now edited.

Fuck, I somehow managed to miss this entirely. Thought it’d be in a couple of months for some reason. Oh well.

Given that the rumours are that Switzerland only has one suitable venue, I'll be starting the next thread soon enough!

 

[ATOMIC SUPLEX]

Well..I didnt watch it..or vote for anyone.
But I saw the end results and frankly... am disgusted that the public vote put Israel where it did.
I cannot believe that vote.

There is bound to be some other things at play here. A lot of people upset that israel took part will boycott. They will not have voted. A lot of people that are pro israel who would not otherwise have bothered will have voted for israel.

I don't know if the ironic masterpiece 'Tropic Thunder' would play well with today's audiences. Just watched Olly Alexander's video and it reminded me of it.

Ben Stiller was told his mistake was going full retard. That's why he didn't get the Oscar he sought.

Olly's video went full gay. Moderate audiences like just enough gay to feel a bit liberal but no more.




Or it could nothing to do with any of that and just be that everyone else could actually sing... oh and the music was really quite shite.

If the 0 points are political then we need to stop funding the bloody thing. Do we actually make the money back?

Fuck off forever Gromit. No, really.

I only really watched as the results were coming in - but I did see the French entry, which I thought was quite powerful - powerful enough to fetch me out of the kitchen to see what was going on.
Of all the "flashes" of video the one from Georgia very much caught my attention.
Someone has posted a blow by blow account of the situation with the Dutch contestant.
Seems to me that demanding docility from a performer who has only recently tols then not to film him going to the dressing room is idiotic.
These people must be surging with hormones. Why are a female camera crew's hormones morally superior to a male performer?
A (long) thread

 

[Gromit]

No.

I guess you haven't seen the film and therefore don't understand the context.

 

[Orang Utan]

Sure, but on the other hand, he understands you, you pathetic bullshitting chauvinist

 

[Sasaferrato]

I may not be au fait with the film, but the term you used is not acceptable.

 

[brogdale]

Switzerland won. Nobody else.

Objectively correct, but that does not mean that this whole farrago was not a massive propaganda win for the Israeli state.

Could somebody who does twitter do the thread rolling up thingy please? That nice Mr Musk only lets us non-twitterers see the first one.

I don't have a twitter account, but on this occasion I'm interested in what that thread has to say. Surely it's not that difficult a concept?

There is a price to pay for your curiosity, unfortunately

 

[Epona]

tbf there's pages and pages of it and it's a bit much to expect others to screenshot and paste it all here - it's not just a couple of tweets.

 

[two sheds]

As I understand it Klein was keyed up after the performance and wanted to be left alone but the camerawoman kept filming him. He apparently made a gesture which she interpreted as threatening and the EBU? took her side. She disputes his version and (I think) said that it's in the contract that she could film. The Dutch took Klein's side and said it was intolerable that he was thrown out.

Not seen the video though, and I'd quite like to, too

It’s not just that. IMO get an account and feast your eyes or don’t and ignore it all. You can’t have your cake and eat it!
are people going to demand we give them passwords to our streaming services next?

Generally, with a long thread one of the first replies would be someone getting the ThreadReaderApp to roll it up into a neat little bundle. Which they, and others, are free to share. That's all I was asking, not for 62 individual screenshot which I completely agree would be me asking for the moon on a stick.

 

[Orang Utan]

That’s still a bit of a cheeky ask. And rather unprincipled IMO
If it’s any consolation, if it’s only on Twitter, it’s probably of no consequence anyway.

That's a really weird take. If you don't want to help, that's fine. Move along - I asked generally, certainly didn't make any kind of direct demand on your time or efforts.

It’s not you, loads of people seem to be doing this. I iust don’t get it. If you’re that curious, then get an account!

First time I've ever asked on Urban, and can't say I've noticed these hordes of people placing such demands on you. But hey ho the view must be magnificent up there on your high horse - you've made a big deal out of absolutely nothing, for no reason.
