[OFF TOPIC] Eurovision Song Contest 2024


Recommended Posts

If this whole (yet again) circus isn't enough for Bjorkman, Osterdahl and all of the current figureheads running Eurovision being booted once and forever. Maybe 15 countries boycotting next year would be the needed catharsis.

Less than an hour until the jury show, EBU have still not said a word about what's going to happen. Spanish TV has published a statement demanding Eurovision to respect freedom of press and opinion (which, according to the rumours, is pointed at certain behaviour from people around the Israeli delegation).

Apparently the Israeli delegation and journalists have been having a go at Spanish and Ireland journalist who have been shouting free Palestine during Israel's performances and whilst they've been in the press room. In my eyes if you can't take it then don't dish it out.

Israel will win Eurovision tomorrow if it goes ahead. In any talent contest, the one thing the public doesn't like is bullies. They'll have seen the videos of Eden getting booed and her every action picked apart on social media and will not tolerate it.

    • I don't like Zelensky much either, but Trump is a complete idiot. I don't understand why they didn't exclude him from politics after 2020. Apparently Biden was too weak for such moves. In difficult times, professional politicians should rule, not celebrities like Trump or Zelensky. Macron is probably the one I like the most out of this group in Europe/Atlantic World right now, while Obama and even Bush Jr. were statesmen compared to Trump.

    • few observations on the first major tournament:   live score board (on screen) needs some improvements such as: the fencing piste colours are consistently wrong between the scoreboard and real game (the red and green colours) shooting screen in combined phase is very bad, time is stuck or continue even when the player finished, also the green (good shot dots) are not always working at the beginning I didn't like the score board on the left hand side but later I got used to it which is not bad in my opinion now. showing the the round in fencing will be beneficial to understand is it QF, R 16 ..etc and expect the score accordingly the fencing screen in the left hand side is confusing  (location of the score compared to name is not very clear) and it's more confusing when you notice that the colour is wrongly switched (see first point) Obstacles is fun to watch (I wasn't expecting that) and young athletes are taking it to very high leve,. also surprised with some good actions from experienced athletes such as Belaud, Shabaan & Gulyas.   Equestrian was not fair but more thrilling, here Obstacles is more fair and not boring. Personally, I liked Equestrian more but I can understand why obstacles is more favourable for some others.   new scoring of fencing is better, even difference in points was adjusted to become more close to swimming weight (main deciders now are obstacles and combined).   waiting Fencing World Ranking list to know how does it work and how they calculate this new ranking.
