I didn't enjoy Eurovision 2024 at all. 🙄 it was absolutely awful...so overly political, and extremely woke with barely any real talent. 🤦♂️ Blimey...im not even sure if I wanna tune in next year. 😮💨
My friends and I were so annoyed about the obvious mess that none of us, around 40 people on the night, did any phone etc voting. We're telling everyone we know to not vote next year! Based on everything else you've told me, I won't ever give Eurovision a single vote or watch anything on their youtube again.
As an aussie, at first I was devastated that Australia didn't qualify for the final. Now I'm glad they missed out on this garbage fire as much as they could have.
I will disagree with that 2024 was best Eurovision show there was so many technical issues I can’t remember any else host country had so many and well seen ! I hope EBU will finally fix issue with one country participating next year in Switzerland 🇨🇭
En gelijk heb je. Waarom Rusland niet en die andere landen wel? Die vallen ook buiten Europa, De meesten dus wel. Het is van oorsprong een Europees liedjesfestival. Dus houden zo. Dan zal ik weer kijken wat het zal brengen, Maar nu denk ik alleen wat en geweld en wat een onzin. Het gaat alleen om het grote geld. Weg met die EBU, Dan zal het eens beter worden hoop ik.
coming back to remind us all of the INSANE GLOW UP between the production of Doomsday Blue here and Doomsday Blue IN ACTUAL EUROVISION Like you said, it didn't click for ages - I tried sooo hard to like it when I discovered it here - it's alternative, different & goth, so I really wanted to like it, but for some reason I just couldn't get into it Now I realise this must've been the shit production, which was like primary school talent show quality lmaoo But I'm so so glad that the Irish had faith and saw the vision, voting Doomsday Blue in. Because when I watched the semi-final performance I actually lost it. Genuinely it was THRILLING. I gasped, my jaw was wide open the whole time and I might've also cried a little bit from sheer excitement This has to be one of the biggest glow-ups in history. It went from a 4/10 to a potential winner. SO satisfying to see the vision come to life FINALLY. It was SO thrilling to see it get the THEATRE & production that it deserved, and to finally see the costume, makeup, performance, choreo, visuals, staging & sound quality that it deserved.
Eurovision turned to total disaster years ago. And it keeps getting lower and lower. We should stop asking how stuop ca this go bexause some are taking this as a challenge.
Us turks really have to return to eurovision. I think countries like armenia, russia, georgia, greece and azerbaijan were still good but all others were just gender politica. Also of course croatia was the best imo.
My Malmo experience was bad enough because I was rather ill throughout the whole week. Add to this that everything Gabe says here is TRUE! All of what he says was already verified for me by various people who were present behind the scenes and in the Press Centre. Then, as I was entering the Arena on the Saturday evening, wearing my Croatia hoodie, a guy with a Press Accreditation came up to me and said “I hope you guys wins tonight” referring to Baby Lasagna. I responded “with any luck”. He then said to me “why do you say “with any luck?” I responded “because there is a major effort across the world to gerrymander the vote for Israel”. It then occurred to me that the guy was part of the Israeli delegation or Press and he went mental calling me “anti-Semitic” and “outrageous liar”. What I was saying was the truth then and we know it to be the truth now. I quickly moved away from this maniac as he bounced around like an angry tigger. I was nervous that I might be targeted by security and removed. It totally soured my week in Malmo, but it was a very fitting and appropriate end to the worst Eurovision I have ever attended (of the 18 I have been to). I was also told that the Israeli delegation was secretly recording conversations with other delegates (possibly the interaction I had to suffer too) so that they could play the victim card if they needed to. A wholly scandalous mismanagement by the EBU and the spotlight seeking Martin Osterdahl. What the eff was going on? Who was so lily-livered that they could not make the right decisions and throw our favourite contest to the dogs?
Thanks a lot for this video. Now I know better than to believe everything RU-vidrs (or any other sources of information for that matter) say, but what I hear you say not only puts things in a different light, but it also seems to fit with a lot of vague stories I've heard so far. First of all, it first seemed that Bambi was just a sore loser with an attitude problem when her statement first came out with her sadness over ending lower than Israel, but with what I hear now it's clear that she was rightfully angry being the victim of a terrible case of harassments. Yet some people already burned her down for that. About Nemo and the flag, it seems that there once again more wrong here. If he was violated to carry that flag why no disqualification or even a fine. Even getting a victory? Of course, in the end a flag is just an overrated painted piece of fabric, but we know they are used to make statements and when banned and then still showing them, to still make the statement... The Joost Klein incident, well I HATED that song with passion (and then to think I'm Dutch myself), but if it even gets so far that the Dutch weren't allowed to vote or at least they were opting for that then I wonder. After all, are the Dutch audience and jury responsible for the behavior of the Dutch artist (if I'd blindly assume he was guilty of what he was accused of)? But the EBU being so secretive about it. I even checked the ESC website where they appeared to pretend none of all that ever happened. Not a single letter. I think we'll never find out what really happened between Joost and that camera-woman, but it was already clear to me that case stank and now its even worse than I could have imagined. I already stopped watching ESC after the corona incident, as things were happening around the contest I could not agree with. Of course, artists from all over Europe go to the ESC and if any of this is true, these artist will likely talk. If not to the press than at least to friends, and eventually this could spread like wildfire among artists. If I were an artist now considering to participate in a future ESC, I think I'd definitely change my mind after hearing all that. Another thing. The sponsor of the event appears to be an Israeli company. If that's true, it's clear why the Israeli delegation was not punished for their behavior. It could cause their sponsor to withdraw and the ESC has become so big that without sponsors it would be impossible to host such a big event as this. Now I've been wondering in general about sponsors of events like these. A sponsor has a lot of power over an event. "Wie betaalt die bepaalt" as we say in Dutch ("Who pays, decides"). If the sponsor withdraws that means no money and no money is no event, it's as simple as that. But that makes it easy for the organization of a big event to be blackmailed. The power of big commercial companies is quite often underestimated and power corrupts. That being said, I do think the current crew of the ESC should be removed, as they allowed this to happen and there's no way they can get away with this, but having a new crew won't solve a thing. Who know who the next big sponsor will be and what kind of agenda they have as a reason to abuse their power on the ESC and also on other events. So I think the core problem is, what to do about sponsoring of events. How do we make sure sponsors do not abuse the power they have over the events they sponsor without threatening the events not being able to take place at all due to lack of budget? I think the core of the problem of what could happen in Malmö this year lies there, and if this problem is not being taken seriously, it will happen again. If not during an ESC than during an other big event, but it will happen and eventually it can be the end of all big events.
@@KenanTheFab Yellow Jornos seeking cheap soundbites, The Israeli ones were hoping to record something antisemitic, which it's pretty much the base for Palestine supporters that can't find it on the map, one such and their career would have been shot to the stratosphere. And for the Netherlands, my poor boy Joost got harrassed by a jorno vulture, and was disqualified for it, because the jorno was spiteful for touching her camera. On top of that Hamas supporters are attracted to cameras like moths to flame, and this antisemitic booing was going on for months before Eurovision and it's still going on, which would explain the popular vote catapulting Israel to the Bronze, not Boycotts. Israel is being condemned for going after it's kidnapped civilians, en masse by the mass media and the "rebel" media wasn't enough to twist reallity. if i was kidnapped i know that my country likely wouldn't come, same goes for almost all European countries and even the US and Canada, Israel was allowed on Eurovision 2024 because like Ukraine it was a victim, not the agressor and majority of Europe and America see that, while this video implies Israel = Agressor.
The idea that Armenia would even be nominated in any category apart from maybe Chrisma is a bit of a joke in itself. Dont tell me a "la la la" chorus is catchy. 🙄
Wow, even more of a mess than I imagined. Thank you so much for making this video. It sounds like it was a terrible experience for so many people, and makes the disqualification of the Netherlands even harder to justify.
