From the brief snippets I've seen, the Israeli girl deserves to win for being just about the only half normal act in this clownfest. Totally agree the whole thing has been taken over by the LGBTQ+ turning it into another Pride fest. The Swiss entrant performing in a skirt,our own entrant performing in a union jack bra for crying out loud.

Get your money on Israel lads. Just think they'll win a bit like Ukraine. Boys like Starmer and Sunak will have their phones automated just voting constantly. Probably use our taxes to pay for the phone bill too. Note: I've not bet on Israel. But didn't Ukraine win recently too? Just feels like its on the cards. Italian semi-final voting percentages got leaked and showed Israel at something like 40% which is enormous. The next country was at 6%. So you're probably right re: the televote. Just whether the juries can offset it enough. I can see a massive television boycott next year if Israel win and it could be the death knell for Eurovision, which may not be a bad thing depending on your opinions.

Yes I know I don't have to watch it of which I won't.But for me enough is enough. We straight people don't have a festival to celebrate our sexualality or even a flag to represent us.I know from this it appears I'm homophobic or whatever, I'm truly not. But I'm fed up of having this in my face all the time. I don't mean to offend anyone and I apologise if I have. But its how I feel on the matter and its my own personal opinion.

Doesn't bother me mate, everyone is entitled to their opinion. If anything's being forced, it's the outdated notion of homogeneity. Pride exists because LGBTQ+ people have historically faced discrimination, persecution and violence just for being themselves. Straight people haven't had to fight for basic rights or face the same level of oppression. It's not about being 'better' than anyone else; it's about equality and acceptance.

I try to listen to the songs and give a shit about the rest.
For the last twenty years the songs I liked the most always get the least votes and vice versa. I go for the melodies and the beauty of music. It says something about the state the world is in.

I will actually buy crisps. It happens once a year (not necessarily to the ESC).
If Sweden or Latvia don't win it's a scandal.

Terrible show full of absolute freak shows.
Good luck to Israel. The calls for them to be banned is deeply disturbing and yet another example of the concerning rise in anti semitism we are seeing around the world.

Has little to do with the songs in most cases
Malta and Cyprus always exchange 12 points like Spain and Portugal. Eastern Europe does the same. Ireland gave Bucks Fizz points but bugger all since. The phone vote may as well be the only votes now as completely change the leader board

That's a catchy song! Better than most today, if not all. Elisabeth Andreasson (with those chin bones) and Hanne Krogh. Are you a foot man by any chance? Or a shoe salesman? First golden Herrey shoes, now bobby socks.

The neighbors voting for each other always interested me as so predictable and then was Wogan's banter of course

Reading through the thread I'm impressed with your knowledge of Eurovision Trivia Mr McMuffin, you could make it your Mastermind subject Equally impressed with EBU for successfully having a purely Song Contest without any Political Influence. Could be well due to having Moroccanoil as one of the main sponsors.

Ireland have won it more than any country 7 times along with Sweden The first Eurovision was in Switzerland in 1956. They won No VAR back then

It’s harder to change others than yourself. If you want a flag and a society, make one. I don’t think what you are saying is homophobic or offensive either. R.e., Eurovision, it is HUGE in the gay community. It is not surprising that it panders to its primary audience: theconversation.com/the-gay-world-cup-why-lgbtq-audiences-love-eurovision-205524
