Amazing. Looks like something out the pages of a Jodorowsky/MÅ“bius collaboration.

Quote from: jobrok1 on May 08, 2024, 06:35:04 PMThe whole Palestine conflict should definitely have Israel booted out as well.

Plus they aren't in Europe so shouldn't be in it, regardless!
Same for fucking Australia!

AUSTRALIA FFS!!!

Agreed - although with the Aussies - they can stay if they keep the 80s guitar and keyboard solos!! (and the outro is great imo) @2:33


I went to see Dadi the Icelandic guy in the Olympia in December it was very good.

I've never forgotten Lithuania 06


and although Finland's entry finished 2nd place last year it actually won the audience vote;

Yer man was brilliant. If memory serves they finished fairly low down the table.

Nah man they were the winners

DME recently announced a Dublin date for Norway's entry this year;


Was working at the Dadi show. Funny fucker and a bangingly bizarre cover of Fairytale of NY. 😄 🤣

This one always stuck with me:


I was going to crack a joke here that I'm surprised Alestorm haven't covered this, but then I checked the next YouTube suggestion 😄


Just watched that now to see what the fuss was all about. Fuck me, that was shite

Looks like too much of a skein of a story, involving too many individuals totally unknown to me, for me to try to make sense of it... but from a distance, it certainly looks like the entire event is turning into both an internal and external shit show. That said, morbid curiosity for the chance to witness car crash television on the grandest scale possible might just be the ratings pull they need for tonight! 

Once the hamster wheel doesn't come off the stage we'll be fine

What did I miss?

Basically the performers themselves have dragged the event down into a bunch of brain smoothing tiktok drama. The Dutch guy got booted for allegedly threatening a photographer and Bambie has launched a last minute bid to get Israel disqualified cause the Israeli broadcaster said mean things about her on Tuesday night.

Not the performers. The israeli delegation have been a pack of utter cunts all week. Goading everyone all week.

As an aside was in the euroclub after party last night. I won't go into the music. Fuck me. But met Graham Nortan and Leo Varadker. Graham was bang on. Leo was a dose. Surprise surprise.
