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?)
pro-palestine
Weird way to spell “people who aren’t totally cool with genocide”, but OK
Wordy but essentially yeah :')
stand for Windows95man
Windows95man was robbed
Yeah I’m pretty sure they brought back the jury votes to deal with Finland.
What do you mean with brough back? Jury votes are nothing new, the split system like this exists for over a decade.
Yes but before that, each country decided whether their votes were by Jury or telephone. It wasn’t perfect but better than a select few people deciding the winner.
First ever (?) entry to end up more dressed at the end of the performance than at the start start.
Like a reverse Spain.
Stand for Armenia and windows95man. Both deserved better results
I watched the show involuntarily at first but it was alright after some getting used to.
My 2 cents:
- Finland should have been top 5 minimum
- Ireland should have been top 3
- I would have been okay with ‘Baby Lasagna’ to win as well
Many artists were quite interesting, queer and political - which was not something I had expected. It was a pleasure to watch with a queer poly kinky bubble :D
You really missed out on Europapa. It got the second place in the semi-finale and would very likely been have top 5, but got disqualified because of no real reason (it’s a huge scandal going on, they first suggested he hit someone, but it turned out to be wrong and he just made a “threatening gesture” at a camera after repeatingly asked not to be filmed at a time where he wasn’t allowed to be filmed).
what?
Nemo Mettler, proud nonbinary from Switzerland, won the Eurovision.
The winner of eurovision is swiss and non binary
yoo, good for them, good for them
Also helps with NonBinary representation too.
FUCK EUROVISION, I don’t care if the winner’s nonbinary.
Bambie thug was better.
They won by being 6th in jury votes, 6th in public votes and 6th overall
