Eurovision 2024 - Malmö

[PR1Berske]

They do drugs in the Netherlands, you know.

 

[Dr. Furface]

This is the stuff!

 

[PR1Berske]

This is the stuff!

The debut of gabba at Eurovision, who knew.

 

[Raheem]

San Marino (the entry seeming to have nothing to do with San Marino is just bonus points) plus Netherlands.

 

[Chz]

I loved the Moomins. That was a great routine.

 

[Epona]

Fix!

 

[Chz]

Ok, I guess I will skip the final then.

 

[wtfftw]

Shit.

 

[The39thStep]

Better than boycotting or disqualification. That would have created a martyr issue.

The Zionists have consistently claimed the martyr issue whilst wiping out 30,000 people . Who is going to sing a song for the Palestinians ?

 

[Dr. Furface]

Swiss, Georgia, Netherlands from that lot

That's not the role of a shiny floor reality singing competition.

 

[Raheem]

They do drugs in the Netherlands, you know.

With music like this, they don't even need to.

 

[Lord Camomile]

With trends like these, who needs MDMAnies.

Yeah. That worked.

Thats entertainment?

 

[Dystopiary]

No to Russia and Belarus, while yes to Israel, is inconsistent. No to genocide!

 

[The39thStep]

More of this, please

Eurovision: Joost Klein misses Dutch rehearsal after 'incident'

Joost Klein's props were being set up when a production manager indicated they should be removed.

www.bbc.co.uk

Interesting. Sounds kinda like he (the Dutch singer) had a pop at the Israeli backstage. Or had evil Palestinian flags around

 

[PR1Berske]

I've tried to tackle all day.

As I type, the Dutch singer won't perform during tonight's Jury Show, though his Semi performance will be shown. This will utterly kill his chances of winning.

He proforms immediately before Israel in the running order.

You can join the dots.

 

[Lotte]

Israel's song isn't even that good. Not the issue, I know.

Booting Russia and Belarus but allowing Israel and Azerbaijan is hypocritical, and Israel shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near the contest, but I guess money talks. The whole thing is going to be such a clusterfuck. They won't want a repeat of HATARI.

 

[Raheem]

They won't want a repeat of HATARI.

The John Wayne film?

 

[weltweit]

Eurovision is supposed to be about peaceful European nations having a pop music competition. Israel isn't even in Europe, and it certainly isn't peaceful. If Israel then also Palestine. Where will all the PC end?

 

[Lotte]

Israel is allowed in Eurovision because it's in the EBU, that's why Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan are all in it as well (Morocco and a few other MENA countries are eligible but won't compete because of Israel). I have no idea what Australia are doing there and if they're in the EBU as well.

Hatari are an Icelandic band who made a point of waving Palestine flags at the camera when it cut over to them.

Daktari?

 

[Raheem]

I guess it's probably where the band got its name from.

 

[Serge Forward]

I guess it's probably where the band got its name from.

Hatari is Swahili for danger. Daktari is Swahili for Doctor. Was the band dangerous?

 

[tim]

Daktari?

My reaction too.

 

[Raheem]

Hatari is Swahili for danger. Daktari is Swahili for Doctor. Was the band dangerous?

Dunno. Maybe they originally wanted to be called Daktari but none of them were doctors and it felt dishonest.

It's why I never really appreciated Doctor and the Medics.

 

[cesare]

Daktari?

Ooo that's a blast from the past!
