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 1 day 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 1 day ago (2 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 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 day ago

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

from the UK

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

I thought that Sam Ryder one was fun!

😂😂😂😂🤣 Brexit bad, genocide good.

Well done Eurovision. Well done.

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

[–] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 8 points 3 days ago

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

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

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.

Welp, Israel got in to the finals :/

Boycotting the Finals again this year then

[–] yetAnotherUser@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 3 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Microw@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Montenegro is soooo dramatic.

[–] nightlily@leminal.space 6 points 5 days 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 2 points 5 days ago

Marko from Croatia reminds me of Luke Black for some reason

[–] 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 1 week ago (1 children)

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

[–] davepleasebehave@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Good for you buddy! would love ways to show disapproval in a more constructive way. if you have any ideas.

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.

[–] AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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 🐱.

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

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