Sooooooo he defended himself and that was a huge red flag for the EBU?????

 

Anyone who's gotten in deep trouble for defending themselves know this all too well

There may still be a part of the story missing of course, but EBU has refused to give any information whatsoever, so for now we only have the AVROTROS statement to go on and that one tells the story of something that can barely even be called an incident.

 

DQ for that is utterly ridiculous.

Last minute news: United Kingdom, Ireland, Portugal and Switzerland reportedly withdraw from Grand Final 

Oh so Lithuania just lost 12 points from both UK and Ireland... Portugal probably didn't want to participate anyway just to finish last lol

Withdrawals, at least Dutch one, will not affect of voting and Dutch people still can send their SMS.

It was sort of the same as that Polish thing from a few years ago, with the lady and the stick  

 

Still nothing

Right, a few more details. AVROTROS offered several things to avoid a DQ, including Joost publicly apologizing, a talk between all parties involved (refused outright by the camera woman) and a joint statement with EBU. A small incident but even apologizing for that wasn't accepted.

I love how Croatian delegation is basically sitting there eating popcorn and watching this all drama knowing their are winning tonight and it might be the most watched Eurovision final because of all of the drama

🇺🇦🇮🇱 Ukraine has included Israeli singer Eden Golan on the "Peacemaker" list, which includes individuals considered enemies of Ukraine. The Israeli singer has lived in Russia and has also visited Crimea.

I'm sure we'll get a clearer picture of what happened in the coming weeks, but this is just sad regardless
