European Song Contest is a load of rubbihs nowadays

A long number of years ago this event was reasonable and singers sung but now it is full of crackers getting all daftly dressed up, doing all sort of daftness added to the singing stuff. It is rubbish and mental pits. I have never seen answers as to why damn Israel is invol when not in Europe. Geography has become a farce.

Estonia's Nublu (with Finland's Mikael Gabriel) are trying to win Finland's national song competition to get to represent Finland in Eurovision. With this configuration they hope to secure 12 points for Finland at least from Estonia.

Turkey is sabotaging Greece's Eurovision song. Turkey thinks the song is about Pontic Genocide which it does not want anybody to know about (but by Turkey's raising riot of course more people will know about it). Turkey's Radio-Television company is a member of EBU, so they have a word, even though they are not participating in the song contest.

Linguistic note: The spelling Γιουροβίζιον is a transcription from English instead of somewhat more Greekish Ευρωβίζιον.

This year's Eurovision song from Estonia rides on stereotypes about Italians. Maybe it can be interpreted in a good way, because the guy actually likes macchiato (as do I).

Quote from: https://canaledieci.it/2025/02/19/tommy-cash-chi-eta-lavoro-instagram-vita-privata-cantante-espresso-macchiato/
Il brano è ironico e molto corrosivo, contentendo vari stereotipi con i quali gli italiani sono noti nel mondo, raccontati e cantati in italiano, per molti in modo assurdo e volgare, per i fan, al contrario, Tommy Cash è un cantante che si esprime in modo geniale.
