Currently taking LatAm by storm, and quite right too

So Israel have a €1m budget this year. It’s going to be another nightmare contest and if the EBU persist with them it could destroy the whole thing. Strap in!

I’m getting married on the day of the Grand Final! My sister is refusing to come unless we show it somewhere. I respect that. :sweat_smile:

Our Eurovision party tent is going to be amazing! :partying_face:

Yep, another boycott year unfortunately.

Will follow the national finals again but that’s it.

8 songs so far, 7 bumdingers and 1 sumdinger

Is Ireland the sumdinger? I like it.

Nah Greece, haven’t heard the whole Ireland song but sounded shite from the 30 seconds I did hear. Cba with this nonsense anymore really

I spent this morning reading the back story of the Ireland song and now feels quite bizarre they made such a jaunty euro banger out of it

I know what you mean, though. I went to the Spain selection last week and had fun but feels like a lot of the fun of this has gone tbh.

Omg it’s about @laika

Yep, fun is gone and it won’t come back unless things are addressed and I don’t have any expectation that they will.

Me too

Does feel like a lot of countries just can’t be arsed this year.

Sweden win again lol

And who can blame them.

I CBA either really. See they’ve stopped broadcasting the first rehearsals too? It’s like they’re desperate to kill off enthusiasm from the hardcore fans.
