Those countries are ruining #Eurovision. Now the Netherlands also in.


Big thanks to all the useful idiots to helped make this happen. Pat yourselves on the back. You couldn’t even forgo a few hours of your entertainment to boycott a whitewashing event for an ongoing genocide. Go you!

My youngest, who is the true #eurovision fanatic in the family is of the firm opinion that everything is better with traditional instruments. Considering that I was a teenager in the 1980s, the era of folk punk, I can only agree.
So, of course, we have playlists. And I might have listened a lot to them lately. Because this is playing in my head. #folkpunk

Exactly! I mean, okay, even if recognize that #Israel lead a massive social media campaign and encouraged people to vote for Yuval, it's not prohibited. there are questions whether it's good, honest and so on, but it is not against the law. The same as voting twenty times for one country is not against the law. Like, I could have voted 20 times for my favorite, #Portugal. Or, as a Ukrainian, I could vote 20 times for #Ukraine because I have a French number and I live in France. Is that honest? Well… I won't judge. I think laws still need to be changed, but it's only my opinion. #Eurovision #ESC #ESC2025


#eurovision #esc actually I don't find it implausible that given the salience of this issue, and that a lot of anti Israel people were boycotting, that more voters favoured that country than any one of the other 15. This is why many real democracies have run offs, in a run off between 2 parties, Austria (or anyone actually in Europe) would have beat Israel by a wide margin. theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2…

EDIT: Euroviisuissa oli kuudet (6) #sisarukset, joista nämä Ukrainan laulaja ja kitaristi ovat kaksosia. Sen lisäksi sisaruksia oli Irlannilla, Islannilla, Latvialla, Portugalilla ja Saksalla. #Aikamoista!

#Flashback

"The 1974 Eurovision Song Contest was the nineteenth edition of the competition. It took place on Saturday, April 6, 1974, in Brighton, United Kingdom. It was won by Sweden, with the song "Waterloo," performed by ABBA".

ABBA's harmonies must have had an influence on my desire to become a musician. The vocal harmonies were magnificent.

At fairs, the huge bass speakers pierced you on this song, and many others with powerful bass lines.

At Eurovision, Swedish-speaking Finns are representing Sweden

The three members of KAJ, the band selected to represent Sweden in the 2025 edition of the music contest, hail from a Swedish-speaking minority on Finland's West coast.

In a context of hostility toward this second national language and rivalry with their Scandinavian 'big brother,' this is a notable event in Finland.

Only one thing on everyone’s mind? The genocide being carried out by Israel against the Palestinian people? No? Oh, a song contest sponsored by Israel that Israel is using to whitewash its genocide. Ah, my bad, sorry.

Enjoy your entertainment.

This you didn't see on telly.

You did see Erika Vikman's expression but not, what caused it.

Just think about it - you'd be 7 meters high, and all in a sudden there'd be an explosion next to you.

And you would be singing a long note on a tv show watched by 200 millions people.

Gosh, what a professional she is!

Today's one might be familiar to some of you as this has received a bit of media attention bacccccccccccccccccback in 2016 when Sweden hosted the Eurovision Song Contest.
To celebrate another win, for the time of the contest's duration, the audible traffic lights at some of Stockholm's locations have been revamped to play Loreen with "Euphoria" (winner of the 2012 ESC) when the lights are red, then when they turn green, they ticked to the beat of Mans Zelmerlow's "Heroes", the song that brought the contest back to Sweden in 2015. What a fun twist on an accessibility feature!

Today's tune of the day belongs to the band that rocked us all in preparation for yesterday's#WithinTemptation show in Gliwice. Great to hear that the European metalcore scene, if that's the right way to call it, is doing alright. They are also competing in next year's #Melodifestivalen and are thus in the runing for a chance to represent #Sweden at the next year's #Eurovision. Keeping my fingers crossed. ESC needs more metal. - Smash Into Pieces - Running Away From Home - youtu.be/lKbYcoi5lFQ
