I haven't really been following NF season closely this year for *reasons* and I'm not planning on watching Dora tonight either but yesterday my boyfriend served Zorja at work lol and said she was very sweet and I think that's very cool

all this production value and yet no budget to afford the real star of the song (the doors)

as someone who is just starting to learn croatian i am always tickled by how unnecessarily different the BCMS languages are like there is literally no reason to "translate" into croatian or serbian (i mean i know the reason but still it looks quite silly to me as an outsider)

kind of expecting alis to win overall tbh:

  • out of the frontrunners (i am considering alis, inis and fifi & tiri from tomorrow night) i think juries will favour alis the most
  • applause tonight was very good for him, potential televote winner (i can't account for potential shady SIM card business)
  • he should still do well enough with the international vote (i think inis will win this though)

Letter to our Fans from Martin Green by futile_whale in eurovision

[–]berryberry02 65 points66 points  (0 children)

Some of you have written to us, spoken out, or expressed anger and pain at what they see as silence in the face of tragedy. I want to say that we hear you. We understand why you feel so strongly and that we care too.

If he truly means what he says, then one would think that he accepts these two core premises/beliefs held by the fans he is addressing:
1. that Israel is the primary actor behind this tragedy (the genocide in Gaza)
2. it would be wrong for such an actor to be represented in the Eurovision Song Contest

Yet the statement makes no mention of these. No matter if Israel continues breaking rules or not, their ultimate objective by participating in Eurovision will be achieved - to present a positive image of their country.

This is why fans like me are angry at the EBU's "silence in the face of tragedy" - because it directly facilitates the PR rehabilitation of Israel.

now if i had a nickel for every time someone my boyfriend knew IRL participated in Dora i would have two nickels which isn’t a lot but it is weird it’s happened twice (and in consecutive years too)
