Close one, but Austria won.

Can't wait to see how much harder Israel cheats next year via vote coordination lol

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 11 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Lot of people boycotted it because of their inclusion, which kinda pumps their numbers. Wouldn't have seen myself rooting for Austria to beat Israel when I was younger, lol, but here we are

What the hell just happened 😆

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Speaking of, how the hell did that song get 0 points from the public? It was pretty likely the best song I have ever heard from the UK in Eurovision...

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Yeah not my choice but was surprised with zero. Same for Switzerland got zero too

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 3 points 4 days ago

That one was also mind-blowing. That song was really cool, I'll probably start following Zoë Më's career after the show.

It's the UK, they are always vulnerable to a big fat zero in Eurovision (and it will never not be funny to me).

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 4 points 4 days ago (1 children)

from the UK

the past few years set the bar really low on that...

[–] silasmariner@programming.dev 1 points 4 days ago

I thought that Sam Ryder one was fun!

[–] mannycalavera@feddit.uk 10 points 5 days ago

😂😂😂😂🤣 Brexit bad, genocide good.

Well done Eurovision. Well done.

[–] bmpvy@feddit.org 7 points 5 days ago

Netherlands. I want him to win just for the first 30 seconds of the performance

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 5 days ago

Let’s go final minutes to votes! Who is your favorite?

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 12 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I'm boycotting as Israel is involved and Russia is not.

Double standards and helps white wash a genocide.

Shame, cause I usually love it all.

[–] mugthol@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Exactly. I haven't watched it last year and won't watch it this year either

The Australian entry is something. Silly trash song that fits Eurovision perfectly. Hope it gets into the final.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 8 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Yay eurovision! My guess is germany is gonna do well this year just based on how often I hear the different songs on radio x3.. germany has been daily

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

From which country are you though? There might be a selection bias

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 6 points 1 month ago

Lithuania :3

[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

So far the video version is much better than live.

Good luck to all the stagehands who have to clean up the sand after France, also someone needs to come up with an Anakin meme for this

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 7 points 1 week ago

If someone is looking for live-time discussion during semi 2: Check out #eurovision, #ESC, #ESC2025 hashtags on mastodon or other fedi software that can properly display messages outside of groups/communities.

Prediction: the crowd will be super helpful backup singers for Malta, no clue if their help will make it to the broadcast, lol

[–] frosty@pawb.social 5 points 1 month ago

It didn't work for Citi Zeni in 2022 with veggies and 🐱.

[–] Lumiluz@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Welp, Israel got in to the finals :/

Boycotting the Finals again this year then

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

I'm here from the future, and must I say, good call.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 6 points 1 week ago

Those are some crazy qualification results from the first semi. Portugal is probably the biggest surprise for me. Thursday is going to be a bloodbath filled with salt.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

Hazel doing her on-brand silly interactions with fans. Nice.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Marko from Croatia reminds me of Luke Black for some reason

[–] hansolo@lemm.ee 2 points 3 weeks ago

So it's either club bangers or love songs, eh? Not a lot of in between so far.

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 1 week ago

Montenegro is soooo dramatic.
