Congratulations Bulgaria, take that L Israel, also FUCK Israel.
Bulgaria’s tourism minister must be shitting it right now though lol. “We have to host WHAT next year?”
This is the first Eurovision I didn’t watch since 2003. Well done EBU.
Lifelong fan started my boycott two years ago. What Israel is doing, is beyond appalling. It has opened the eyes of so many people that Israel has always been doing this, that it will not stop doing this by their own initiative, so that it is our responsibility as international community to make them stop. Israel is a pariah state for me. All their enablers in Europe, including Germany and Austria, will find themselves on the wrong side of history. They have a historic responsibility to support the Jews, but that should not expand to Israel as a state. A state built on stolen land, with unequal rights, a fundamentalist theocracy, highly militaristic, unbelievable amounts of nasty propaganda, the whole country is beyond saving right now
Israel always gets a billion votes at the contest and almost wins, but this huge success doesn’t replicate on the streaming platforms where are far away in any charts
I’m guessing it’s one of those:
-
All music streaming platforms in the world are colluding to report less listening to those songs, because of some anti-israel agenda
-
Eurovision public votes are allowing votes from millions of bots, because of some pro-israel agenda
Also if you saw all the Moroccanoil sponsorship all over Eurovision this year - let’s just say that company is not Moroccan
Or 3 the boycott is significant so the far right are a significant part of the audience.
-
Well Finlands religious nutters and MAGA-style right wing Elon Musk fan boys were certainly provoked to vote for Israel… again.
Song was not that special and we ended up giving Israel 12 points… again.
We tend not to vote in the first place, especially when votes are the most expensive in the entire EU - cheapest was 0,13€ in Denmark, while it was 1,5€/vote here. Someone calculated that based on some previous years with 10 max votes, you could easily get the first place with just something like 1000 people voting the max amount. (And possibly even a lot fewer, as it was max 10 votes per payment method, so one person could use multiple to stack on votes)
I didn’t even know it was on
Same. Saw some results yesterday and was like ‘huh? Eurovision happened??’
i’ve never even heard of eurovision. i mean what even is a euro vision
stop lying; you’re on lemmy so you’ve seen the israel hate
israel got second tho, mazel tov!
Does anyone care?
Eurovision is cooked.
I don’t watch eurovison, honestly I only ever hear about winners like this, and frankly this song is a banger (a bangaranga even) and the choreography is sick.
I watched it on Youtube since well, people were talking about it, and honestly I’m not gonna get this song out of my head for days.
Sure, and Israel came in second.
It’s all just pop garbage anyways.
Is Israel even in europe?
