ESC 2024 in a nutshell:

🇨🇭 The Swiss finally found Nemo, who is non-binary and won by breaking the code and riding a Tagada

🇮🇪 Ireland performed a demon summoning and was awarded 6th by the jury, 6th by the audience and ended up in 6th - 666 intensifies

🇳🇱 The Dutch dude was disqualified for allegedly being an asshole

🇮🇱 Israel did not decapitate Netanyahu on stage and still finished high up in the ranks, sending pro-palestine Twitter users into rage

🇪🇪 We saw Estonian VSauce

They desperately tried to bait the audience with Abba just to show us the worst deep fake in human history and letting some previous ESC winners (including Conchita Wurst) perform Waterloo on stage.

(Did I miss anything?)

This is the first time Joost got to do such a big event, and then he got filmed without his consent, indicating such multiple times. This happened while he was under time pressure, so he made a "threatening movement" towards the woman holding the camera. I feel like a punishment other than disqualification would've been better, this felt disproportionate.

They made it sound like he assaulted someone ar first but it does seem to have been just a (offensive) gesture after repeatedly requesting they leave him alone.

Disproportionate is an understatement especially considering the already tense climate.

Song would have gotten good points for sure aswell.

I don’t think so considering Windows95man did poorly

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago

He got the second place (182 out of 216 possible points, that's an insanely good result, even better than Croatia in their semi-final) in the semi-final so he would have been very likely top 5. Windows95man did pretty bad in his semi-final.

I couldn’t tell myself but my wife said the other singer on stage (Henri) sung lots of false notes.
