Eurovision 2024

[Shockbox]

Was the booing for Osterdahl discernible on tv? It was overwhelmingly loud in the arena.

It was crazy loud!

 

[discoteca]

The way they clearly cut the audio from the arena when Israel took the lead for a brief period. Manipulation. I wanted to savour those boos.

Oh it came through loud and clear. He’s so done.

"I'm so proud of Bambie Thug" - me who heard of them for the first time three days ago

First impressions are important

When the Televote gave Israel their 300+ points I shrieked so hard that my neighbour started banging on the wall. After the UK got 0 points I was totally in the vibe and hoping for another 0 point for Israel.

So glad they didn't win.

We have a large Jewish community here. That?

Except all the Jewish people I know detest Netanyahu.

It was a fairly good song, she sang it OK apart from being flat on the high notes like every time I've seen her sing it.

It was also dull beyond belief.

 

[pmas]

Austria flopping in the televote. Outrageous.

Poor Olly but hardly a surprise. Even Mae got 9 points from the public...

 

[StratusJM]

I was surprised at how often the broadcast actually allowed boos to be discernible. Hearing Osterdahl receive boos in particular was delicious.

The bottom 5 being all women :/

 

[Marko]

Somethings not right. That many countries can't have given their 12s, 10s etc to Israel. Remove the country and the song is just absolute wank. I know right wing etc etc but surely there's some riggery to be looked at.

Sad for Olly 0 points. Massively undeserved. Can't say I'm hugely pleased for Switzerland, I hated it, but at least it wasn't the horse of israhell.

 

[pmas]

Worth noting Croatia won the televote.

Still surprised Germany did so well, it was a total non event.

I thought they were boo’d heavily on the BBC feed when the went to the top

 

[Laura Vanderbooben]

Olly's 18th place still being the third-best UK result in the last ten years fkljaklfjl

 

[SockMonkey]

Highlight was possibly when Ukraine got their televote points and the arena realised Israel couldn’t win. That was a cheeeeer.

They were but then the sound seemed to just cut out, there was nothing audible for the Swedish results and that was the host!

 

[pmas]

Now time to methodically unfollow this year's contestants on Instagram and forget they ever existed.

 

[stoicist]

Rewatching it again, I'm hoping the audience booed when Olly got the public 0 in his support, rather than implying he was that bad. I'm curious if the cheering for Isr**l came through in the arena speaker after that, it clearly dropped off into the audience chanting something else after. And then the next massive cheers came in for Ireland, and then the big one for Ukraine defeating the evil.

This. I need a clip to rewatch this very pleasing moment.

Open letter to future Eurovision creatives:

Staging that excludes the audience and looks like a music video ISN'T A GREAT IDEA XX

 

[Misty Circles]

Sad for Olly 0 points. Massively undeserved.

Sorry but his vocals were horrific... Shame as it's a good song.
