UK - Eurovision is too political.
Also UK - Gives Israel 12 points.
Worth noting that was the public vote.
Our juries douze points went to Portugal. Which seemed a bit weird.
The official UK jury awarded Israel nil points.
You may know the jury members:
Louise
Kojo Samuel
Maia Beth
Rika
Adam Murray
The UK public voted by telephone to give Israel 12 points.
There may have been tactical voting but the actual song and performance was not too bad.
The UK public who opposed Israeli participation had a wide array of colourful rainbow performers to vote for but didn't.

All in all, I think it was a very poor Eurovision!

I think there was a big difference between the great tracks and the poor ones. And not as many properly bonkers ones; Finland and Armenia were the only real standouts for me on that front.

As far as I'm concerned, there never has been or will be a better Eurovision entry than this. And they almost won IIRC. Lost out by a handful of points.

Yes.
Yesterday.
It'll be on again next year.
Probably best to put your foot through the telly and send a bill to the EBU.
You can out, it's safe.

Team Queerio did though!
I think quite a lot has been made of the controversies around the event, to its detriment.
I wonder if people have cared so much about Israel's inclusion before. It's not like they're new entrants and their current escapades while on a different level aren't new either.
It's not like their haven't been questionable contestants in the past either.
Without wanting to get too political I wonder if people actually know much about Eurovision.

No, as it turns out. Just being gay and having musclemen in red codpieces isn't enough these days.
I wanted Thug Bambi to win. I thought their song was really interesting and creative.
For our entry it needed a lot less messing about with the set and more actual singing and performance. Also the song needed a better ending. It felt like half a song.
