Currywurst? 12 points!

 

Aaaaaand the Dutch currywurst guy has just been disqualified from tonight's show for threatening a crew member.

 

I wonder if Eurovision HQ are regretting adopting "United By Music" as the permanent slogan for the event now.

Aye, that poor lass has had to endure so much…

 

Seriously though? Israel has murdered tens of thousands of innocent civilians and we’re supposed to cheer the waving of the Israeli flags after yet another twelve points? Get to fuck.

Honesty man, her being from a country that’s openly committing genocide is the least of her problems.  
 

from the BBC 

“As she takes the stage, Golan won’t be thinking about the political storm surrounding her entry, but of her pet chihuahua, Leo, who she says is the love of her life.”

He's been filling the wank bank all night, the dirty cunt. Absolutely livid to have it interrupted.

Is that the same Lembit Opik that was nuts deep in a Cheeky Girl, those paragons of appropriate performance?

Strong rumours that Celine Dion is going to make an Olympics-style guest appearance at this year's contest, which gives me an excuse to post this magnificent photo from when she won it in Dublin in 1988.

I can only assume that was the bus driver and he wasn’t nearly old enough to be her husband/abuser.

Canny article here about the stage team, who have 35 seconds between acts to remove the previous act’s props, clean the stage, and set up the next act’s props.

France being one of their “favourites” this year by pouring kilos of sand on stage during their act. 
 

@Meenzer, it mentions giving acts the chance to perform again if something goes wrong , has this ever happened during the final?

It has! That Jimmy Jump arsehole invaded the stage during the Spanish entry in 2010 so they got to perform again at the end.

 

And way back in 1958 the Italian entry - "Volare", no less - was performed again because the still-creaky Eurovision broadcasting network went a bit wrong and some countries didn't get to see it first time round. It still didn't win. "Volare" ffs!

 

There was a stage invader during the UK entry in 2018 too but they decided not to perform again, probably because they knew the song was absolutely hopeless anyway.

Might have been better off getting the stage invader to perform, couldn't have scored any worse iirc.
