Bon, on est en passe de perdre le tournoi et on a déjà perdu l'Eurovision. #Rugby #6Nations #FRAECO #FRAvSCO #Eurovision
@davidallengreen There's an important first step before this. Canada needs to join #Eurovision. They have Associate Membership already, can't be far off!

Eurovision 2024 boycott
We won't pass judgement on people watching the Eurovision final tonight, but we must say that we genuinely do not understand how anyone can watch it this year
When the Russian state / military invaded Ukraine in 2022, it was justly banned from Eurovision That ban remains in effect.
Meanwhile, despite its state and military invading Palestine and committing actions that many would say meet the definition of genocide, no actions have been taken whatsoever against Israel
We're aware that many Israeli citizens do not support or condone such actions, and have even protested against them.
In the same way, many Russian citizens did not and do not support Russia's actions in Ukraine.
In the same way, many US citizens and UK subjects (especially students) do not support their governments' support of the actions taken by the Israeli state.
Ultimately, you must all do what you feel is ethical.
For us, that means boycotting an annual event that we've otherwise enjoyed each year for decades.
We just hope that there will still be anyone left alive in Gaza by the time that the Eurovision final has finished airing
And that Israel will finish last, ideally with nil points.
Got around to ripping my Eurovision 2023 CDs today.
I had honestly forgotten what a faff ripping CDs is!!!
Even more so when the CD data didn't load from a metadata provider
I definitely didn't then make a playlist to put the songs in the grand final order
& I'm definitely not going to make to further playlist that only contains the songs I liked...
... & possibly ones for the semi finals too
There's a petition aimed at the EBU for jury votes to be removed from Eurovision in light of the controversy over their skewed voting in Eurovision 2023.
https://www.change.org/p/demanding-transparency-and-fairness-remove-jury-votes-from-eurovision
I doubt the EBU will listen, but it's worth a shot to make sure that future winners are also the public's favourite.
I hope someday to be able to host #Eurovision and do it half as well as Graham Norton
Eurovision 2023
Hmm.
50th anniversary of Abba winning & the juries gave their biggest vote to Sweden
Coincidence much?
Jury vote needs to be resigned to the history books. It's not fit for purpose.
Eurovision 2023
I feel vindicated by seeing the high public vote for Norway & even higher for Finland.
Finland should have won. Sweden only got it due to the jury vote.
Jury vote needs to be thrown out.
Eurovision 2023
Not happy that Sweden is still leading from the rigged jury vote
Happy that Finland & Israel are staying in the running.
Belgium & Norway are both being cruelly ignored
Eurovision 2023
Thoughts on the vote so far:
* Sweden sucked. Why are they getting so many votes?
* Why does Norway have no votes yet?!
Time to ditch the judge votes again, methinks.
Eurovision 2023
My top songs are broadly:
- Norway
- Finland
- Belgium
I'd be okay with quite a few others winning. There are only a few that I specifically don't want to win.
Loved the Sam Ryder performance & the very visible representation
Eurovision 2023
* Israel was super powerful. Very dancy & I could see that becoming a queer anthem for the unicorn metaphor.
* Slovenia... showed up I guess? Very also-ran vibes.
* Croatia entry is camp & anti war. I didn't really enjoy the song, but I respected & appreciated it.
* UK entry seems overhyped. It's kinda catchy, but there were better songs.
Eurovision
Oi, the camera and the singer should get a room.
Slovenia
Eurovision 2023
* Norway has some pipes! & that beat drop is fantastic! Has a techno sea shanty vibe. Amazingly powerful lyrics! I loved it!
* Germany is certainly very heavy rock. Like Graham Norton, not really my cup of tea. Powerful performance though.
* Lithuania entry is nice. Well sung & picked up nicely when the beat dropped, but a bit generic still.
Eurovision 2023
* Mel Giedroyc churning butter in a milkmaid outfit

* Armenia is a bit meh. Nice hair though.
* Moldova entry is... a song? Beat is kinda catchy, but otherwise no.
* Ukraine entry is catchier than I was expecting. Good staging. Kinda like this.
Eurovision 2023
* Australia has a rock-synth-metal vibe going on. Kinda catchy. So much power in it!!!
* Belgium is so queer & I love it! So full of soul & queer defiance. The voice, the performance & the messaging was on point.
Eurovision 2023
* I really like the mix of powerful vocals & the twinkly piano by Estonia.
* FINLAND EVERY IS SO QUEER, AWFUL & AMAZING IN EQUAL MEASURE!!! I loved it
* Czechia not the strongest song, but great staging & very powerful lyrics / meaning.
