I heard something like this: polish journalist asked uncomfortable question to Israeli singer and when the host said âyou donât have to answer thatâ Joost said âwhy not?â. And that he had some conflict with Israeli journalist (i hear a rumour that some guy mentioned death of Joost parents in a nasty way, bit its so low i hope its just a rumour). Anyway, political⊠All political
Oh no, Iâve just seen the news
Iâve seen the performance in the second semi-final and it got voted through to the final.
I liked it. Shame he isnât competing anymore.
Baby Lasagna is my favourite
It has something to do with a camera woman who filmed Joost and he didnât wanted to be filmed Iâve heared.
Itâs stupid, Joost must feel devastated!
Me who wasnât supposed to look is actually here looking.
Donât want to make it more political than it already is but I still have to say it. Farah Abadi one of the Swedish moderators is actually Palestinian. Love her, she used to lead the kids summer break shows here.
And Iâm so impressed by her doing this in her own city despite all the protests and everything.
Not choosing side here. Just wanted to make that notice.
The only side I do choose is music vice.
Which gets a little odd because Marcus and Martinus who do compete for Sweden is from Norway.
They wanted to change career because theyâve done a lot of kids/teen songs and got famous for making a very popular song called Elektrisk in the Junior Eurovision years ago.
Now that want to be accepted as Artist thatâs not only for kids.
And they felt like Norway couldnât accept that. But we did. So they compete for us this year.
All the Swedish newspapers thinks that Croatia will win.
I donât know for sure what happened this is all our news said.
When the Israeli woman got an uncomfortable question and was told she didnât need to answer he said Why not.
And that he might be charged with assault because he got into some problems with a woman in production.
And after all that the board of Eurovision decided to not let him compete because of inappropriate behavior.
Yeah, he said that he didnât show any aggression at all and that this has been blown upâŠI dunno. This year feels weird. Funny how thereâs different rules for different folkâŠ
Saying that, Iâve liked the first three acts so far.
Come on Olly!
You donât have to show aggression,here itâs usually enough that someone feels threatened to file a police report.
I guess the Eurovision board have rules regarding that, and thatâs why his out.
Something happened with the broadcast here so we missed our first act and half the second one.
I really hope for Sweden Marcus and Martinus have gotten so much hate from Both Sweden and Norway. Itâs unfair.
No matter how it goes though, I stil think they have a new hit song.
Watching in California!! Absolutely love it, the rapper from Ukraine was amazing!!!
Reports about huge protests here in Sweden.
According the the reports there should be Swedish, Norwegian and Danish Police officers outside the arena at the moment.
I had no idea it was broadcasted in US?
Thatâs really cool.
Ukraine best so far. Spain are giving it some though
I donât know about the Joost thing I just heard their feedback from him and his team this afternoon.
Omg Estonia is definitely something else.
I canât vote for Sweden so theyâre getting my vote for sure.
I love their no-no- snow song. Very odd, and kinda cool.
âToo many butts in the performance from Spainâ - my 9yo
My kids stopped eating their snacks and liked away.
How fantastic is Ireland
lol - the kids are NOT enjoying Ireland and are wishing Spain was back on the screen
Too scary says my boys.
And they have a kitchen witch hippie as a mother.
My 14 y/o is also best friend with a Wicca girl.
Doesnât finish until nearly midnight!! Way past my bedtime . But Iâm watching for now.
Hoping to catch the northern lights before I turn in.
