People are powerless to make their own decisions, launch the mind-control ads that force people to do as we say!

I'm sorry you don't like being pointed out that the song was not very good, and that the only reason it won the audience vote was an aggressive social media/ad campaign to buy the votes!

Maybe you'd feel better about it if you'd try to deflect by saying I'm an anti-semitist or something? You could try that! Oh wait, you already did. Hmm, well, I'm sure you can come up with something else that's equally witty.

You mean the constant, daily anti-israel news in all western media since 10/7? Yeah I'm sure that was in favor of their ESC candidate.

Anything this year strike a similar style?

I've actually been listening to Germany's entry's album and there's a lot of good stuff in there IMO, but ofc maybe it's not to your liking:

Israel organized an extensive social media campaign together with ads to try to get people to vote for them. The power of advertising and outreach at play, the resulting point distribution is far from natural and organic - obviously people would not really vote for this song with such a skew on its merits alone.

They'd probably somehow receive 12 points from Palestine too if they were eligible for a televote, by having Mossad goons make people vote at gunpoint if nothing else.

Yeah man, a YT ad is the same as voting with a gun to your head. And sure, the Mossad is engineering votes for Eurovision.

Honestly, I think the goon is rotting your brain.

In Canada's budget, there is funding for Canada to possibly join Eurovision. Crazy times.

Could Canada join Eurovision Song Contest? Experts say audience needed - National | Globalnews.ca

The federal budget included a line that said the government was working with CBC/Radio Canada to explore the possibility of Canada entering the Eurovision Song Contest.

It's just so drab. The hosts cant even move their faces.

 

[Pigenator]

The hosts were so fucking cringe and non-charismatic, holy crap.

German entry is fire, though.

I agree. Mossad must have put something in the water because I have the sudden urge to vote for Israel 10 times.

Israel is again pushing people to vote for their candidates ?

At least it's not heavily featured like the 2024 contestant this time.

 

[ADiTAR]

People do realize any country can push people to vote for them by.... Advertising.

 

[Reizo Ryuu]

Yeah very weak eurovision this year; only really like the alice song from switzerland

 

[ADiTAR]

I think our song (Michelle) is really good, best one I like since Toy, and I thought we had a real chance to win. His voice was amazing live, but the entire staging, what he's wearing, that stupid low-cost prop in the middle really hurts it's so bad.

Yup. only wrong when Israel does so, of course!

Linehan objects to Father Ted episode on Eurovision night

Father Ted co-creator Graham Linehan has said he objects "in the strongest possible terms" to RTÉ showing the sitcom's Eurovision-themed episode on the night of this year's Eurovision Song Contest final.

Fuck yes! You go Graham Linehan
I love that episode but it's so stupid what the Irish are doing.

Yalla Israel, the only song that sounds like an actual song.
