Eurovision 2024

[BlueHammer85]

Israel are clear second favs. now.

As the judges votes are largely irrelevant these days and it’s basically a public vote that decides it, I don’t think I’d want to be risking too much on them, no matter how good it is.

aren't Israel a bit hated at present ?!

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

They say its ‘non political’… well explain how Ukraine won it with such a shite song

And has Greece ever given a single vote for Turkey, and has Turkey ever voted for Greece or Cyprus.

 

[Dave Ewing's Back 'eader]

What an absolute pile of steaming shite, voting is nothing to do with the crap songs - it is geopolitical.

And the BBC basically fund the shit show, criminal.

How does that work? Does the EBU knock on BBC TV Centre and hold out their hand and the BBC ask how many equivalent licence fees they would like and there's a cheque in the post?

Well yeah, that’s kind of my point.

Ukraine won it almost entirely on the public sympathy vote. They were miles behind after the judges votes were all in.

 

[BlueHammer85]

Well yeah, that’s kind of my point.

yeh but you mentioned they're 2nd favourites?

You’ve lost me mate. That they are second favourites is a fact.

That I’d quite happily lay them not to finish in the top two, is also a fact.

8/13 3rd or worse.

I wonder if Israel winning this year would kill the Eurovision forever. Which at this stage might not be a bad thing. (I used to like it but it was ruined when it spanned 2 days imo)
