⚠️ IMPORTANT INFORMATION ⚠️
🇺🇦 Ukraine was the ONLY country to give Switzerland 12 televote points
Ukraine also was one of ONLY TWO countries that gave Israel ZERO in the televote
EVERYONE SAY THANK YOU TO THE UKRAINIAN PUBLIC 🩷🩷🩷🙏🙏🙏
A legend, a non-binary superstar, an activist, an idol, a cult leader, a witch, and the prime minister of Ireland walk into a bar. The bartender says, ‘table for one?’
Most children can understand the concept of a ‘character’ extremely young. If your child is scared of Bambie’s performance then maybe you haven’t been exposing them to stories or cultivating their imagination. 4 year old me would’ve loooved the scary witch vampire song
I genuinely think that if SBS gave Electric Fields a bigger budget for a good music video then it would’ve 100% changed the trajectory of the past few weeks. So much of the hate/disappointment for Aus is literally simply due to people hating the music video
Palestinians are suffering daily - hourly - attacks. Yet when you are confronted by this reality, your reaction is to close your eyes and condemn the VICTIMS for being too scary in their messaging. If you are haunted by this imagery - GOOD. You need a wake up call.
Despite trying to politicize their song on more than one occasion, Israel have been allowed to participate in Eurovision 2024
This is their song 'Hurricane' that Kan will officially present tonight, so you don't have to give them or their official upload a view
Free Palestine
Imagine telling a Eurofan in 2014 that in 10 years time:
Luxembourg is the only benelux nation in the final because Netherlands get disqualified
Russia and Belarus are banned
We no longer have Romania but we have Australia and Czechia instead
Universally disliked rehearsal clip
Bad running order
Free falling in the odds
Representing a nation which never does too well in the televote
Artistic performance with no apparent televote appeal
And she still made it through 😭😭😭❤️❤️❤️
@AlesiaMichelle
Idk I find it hard to believe that the jury would put Estonia (or even Greece) through over the likes of Belgium, Denmark, Malta, or even Albania,
@LoveLovePeaceP1
As a parent you should be helping your kids through their fears, not shielding them from everything scary in the world. There is no reason why you can’t preface Ireland’s performance with ‘this is going to be a scary song by a spooky witch with a monster dancer’
This is seriously insane.
Ireland started in the odds in 39th - in a year where we only have 36 participants 😭
Now they’re on track to crack TOP 3 by tomorrow.

If they released a music video which emphasised the Indigenous cultural elements and let the artists showcase their vision - we would’ve been seen as a certain Q from weeks ago.
Performative nudity will always inherently have a unique meaning attached to it according to the particular performance. It’s not ‘double standards’, it’s simply that 🇪🇸 and 🇸🇮 use nudity in artistic ways, as opposed to 🇫🇮 which is clearly just relying on shock value.
Spanish dancers in thongs/corsets and heels…
Eurofans: YASS, SLAYYY, MAMA
Finish singer in thong with a t-shirt, socks and sandals…
Same eurofans: EWW, DISGUSTING, OFFENSIVE, VILE
Double standards much?
This is a terrible thread and the wording (‘primitive’, ‘only a vague idea of religion’) was exactly the type of justification used by white colonists to slaughter the Indigenous populations of Australia
Short thread on life of the Tasmanian Aborigines prior to European arrival - the most isolated & primitive human society that has ever existed.

Thank you guys for your amazing coverage of the events this year! You’ve been really clear about the reliability of your information. I’ve found myself looking towards you guys as the source of truth. 🙏🩷

Some less obvious ideas:
🇦🇿 2013 and the voting scandal leading to the jury transparency of nowadays
🇬🇧 2012 opening the show being the nail in the coffin for the random running order
Only popular in Lithuania? Some Lithuanian singer? She is the čiuto of tutos, Monika Linkytė, legendary solo AND duo performer, internationally known. Don't try to lessen who Monika is or her popularity, with points from Latvia, Estonia, Ireland, and UK
Classic Zionist victim mentality thinking that they are hated for being Jewish when in reality we hate them for supporting genocide
Delete your account btw
(12/x) Just to make it clear that it's NOT just hatred towards Eden as an individual, I added some remarks about Tali and Noa, another two Jewish participants.

“Eden is the only artist that made a huge impression” she literally couldn’t even win the public vote even after the Israeli gov spent $1.5mil on youtube ads 🥶 Your personal bias ≠ reality

Reminder that 🇪🇪 Bridges and 🇱🇹 Stay were ranked 28th and 29th respectively last year - below Denmark and Ireland. Anyone who takes this seriously needs to be locked in an asylum

@larysson__
As an Aussie - very little chance that we’ll give Poland our 12. Our televote always goes for campy/upbeat. Probably going to be Croatia or Finland.
Genuine question what’s up with 🇨🇿 representatives having mf thick ass British accents??? Lake Malawi and Aiko more like Lake Manchester and Aberdeenko
My 2 cents on the discourse re: being a Eurofan this year
I think the EBU is a highly shameful organisation and have lost major credibility and I completely understand why people are detaching themselves or feeling an obligation to find a new interest…
Throughout the entirety of the song ‘fire’ can be replaced with ‘gays’
‘Watch them burn’ - referencing gays going to hell
‘I will save this love’ - a need to protect heterosexual relationships
