As a non European member on this forum, away from all politics

I loved :UKR nomination. 
It was brilliant both the performance as well as the song . 
I am surprised how :SUI topped with that song. 
 

 

Yeah I also liked :UKR , for me it's the only song that reached "really good" level in my ears. There are other good songs, but none came close to Ukraine.

Great winner to the contest, absolutely

delighted for Switzerland and Nemo for a well deserved win. 

 

contest was pretty ugly to watch as a fan with all of the tension backstage, and then obviously the events leading to the DQ. Awaiting the fall out but EBU has not come out of this at all well.

amazing winner!!!

 

It's funny to picture all those conservatives that spent a lot of money on Israel and that territory obtained a lower place than last year xD

I don't know about other countries but in Greece it's not expensive to vote in Eurovision. It's like 20 euro for 20 votes or something like that.

How ironic it is that on the most polarized and divided contest of all time, the most neutral nation in the world wins? :d
 

I would prefer Ukraine to win (best song of the show to me), or Croatia (best entertainer, and clearly the best for the public), but I can live with Nemo winning.


To me it feels like last year where Loreen won it because of jury and the most popular for the public ended up second.

 

I don’t think Joost would win to be honest, but I do think it’s ridiculous this whole desproporcional punishment he got, especially with a song about united Europe and with such a good message at the end, but oh well, he made some dangerous comments in a contest sponsored by an Israeli company so it was not a surprise that they kicked him out.

 

I’m also proud of Iolanda and yet another top 10 for Portugal :clap:

He wasn't DQ for the comments, but for a threatening gesture to a female photographer backstage despite agreed rules that he wouldn't be filmed after his performance (as he can be emotional afterwards). Not sure at this point if he did more than push the phone out of the photographer's hands. Either way, it just seems like a complete overreaction and symbol of the society we live in unfortunately.

 

And no Netherlands was never winning due to the lack of jury support for the song. The juries actually voted on their semi final performance in the grand final and originally gave them 58 points (a mere 307 behind Switzerland).

"The Eurovision Song Contest 2024 reached 163 million people over the 3 live shows across 37 public service media markets. The total reach of the Contest increased by 1 million people compared to 2023 and has grown by 2 million since Turin 2022.

 

The viewing share of the Grand Final was 46.7% - the highest share since 2006 and almost triple the broadcast channels' average (17.6%). While among youth audiences (15-24 year olds), the viewing share of the Grand Final was 58.6%, the highest share on record and more than 4 times the broadcast channels' average (13.7%).  Host country Sweden had 2.3 million viewers tuning in for the Grand Final and, at 87.3%, the viewing share is their highest recorded for the Eurovision Song Contest since Sweden hosted it in 2000.

 

Switzerland, who won the Contest for the third time thanks to Nemo's The Code, saw an average audience of 723,000 viewers across the three linguistic regions, up 40% on 2023. In the three regions, the viewing share was the highest ever recorded.

 

Germany recorded the highest audience for the Grand Final with an average of 8.1 million viewers watching on Das Erste and ONE. The United Kingdom had the second highest audience with 7.7 million viewers tuning in for the Grand Final on BBC One. France, meanwhile, achieved an audience of 5.4 million viewers; which is an increase of 1.9 million compared to last year’s edition.

In close to half of the markets (18 out of 37), the Eurovision Song Contest claimed over 50% of the viewing share, led by Iceland with 96% and closely followed by other Nordic markets (Sweden 87.3%, Norway 85.5% and Finland 83.1%), Croatia (73.2%) and Lithuania (70.2%).

 

Grand Final runner-up Croatia, who gained their best ever result in the Contest, delivered their highest Eurovision Song Contest audience and viewing share on record since 2006, with 1.1 million viewers and 73.2%, respectively.

Greece achieved their best audience since 2011, with 2.8 million viewers, more than double last year’s performance. Ireland had their biggest audience since 2013 with 650,000 viewers, close to double last year’s figures. And Latvia also had the most viewers watching in nearly a decade with 252,000 viewers, more than quadrupling last year’s performance. The viewing share in Latvia was 61.8%, the highest performance since 2007.

 

This year, public voting was open before the 3 live shows in non-participating countries and throughout the performances in the Grand Final, resulting in viewers from 156 countries casting votes for their favourite songs – 12 more than when Rest of the World voting was introduced in 2023.

Outside the participating countries, viewers in the USA, Canada, Romania, Mexico, UAE, Türkiye, South Africa, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria cast the most votes online."

    • The next ban country will be :Venezuela , they refuse to give their petrol/gold to USA 
    • For me all of the entire of Russian society is a great disappointment. In the early 1990s, they fought for Yeltsin- who, of courss, failed, but that's no reason to allow themselves to be manipulated by Putin- a man worse than even Brezhnev. In my opinion, it would be much easier to reach an agreement with the USSR than with today's Russia, because the USSR and its ruling Communist Party were much more predictable than Putin and his gang, who now is rulling in Moscow.

    • For 50 years, we lived without gas from the USSR, and it was one of the best periods in European history, so we'll manage. It was a huge mistake by our politicians after the fall of the USSR on early 1990s, to allow themselves to be bought off with their dirty money. I hope it never happens again.

    • @bestmen Look, I've been reading your comments regarding Russia for quite some time, and I don't want to bite my tongue this time.   First, context matters. I agree with @copravolley. It’s not an insult to say that people who don’t live near Russia often underestimate what this war actually means for Europe. Out of the three of us, I can say with certainty that I feel the most directly affected by and concerned about this war.   In the same way I wouldn’t share my opinions on Africans and the conflicts on their continent, or lecture Palestinians about the war in Gaza, it’s reasonable to listen first when Europeans explain why this is not just a political disagreement that happens to block Russian athletes from competing, but an ongoing war of aggression that doesn’t only affect Ukraine, but also countless other countries located nearby with a long and dramatic history of communism and Russian influence. To make it clear, you're absolutely entitled to your opinion. However, you have repeatedly pushed the same narrative about the supposed injustice towards Russian competitors.   Second of all, the claim that Russian athletes have nothing to do with politics is blatantly wrong. It's a lie, and you know it. Countless Russians are actively supporting the crimes that Russia is committing on Ukrainian soil, advocating for further military operations, and show little to no remorse. Many Russians supported Putin throughout his presidential campaigns and continued doing so even after the invasion. Just look at their public statements made over the past three years. They are expected to align with the state’s narrative. That’s not an individual moral judgment, it’s how the system works.   Major Russian sports clubs are directly linked to or derived from the military. Hockey players wear war symbols and slogans on their jerseys, and this is only the tip of the iceberg. Russian sports and politics are two sides of the same coin, closely related ever since the state began pouring money into centralised doping programs and sporting propaganda. Bringing up Netanyahu or Israeli doping is pretty much just whataboutism. If there is proven, systematic wrongdoing in sport, it should be addressed through proper investigations and sanctions. That does not magically erase or excuse Russia’s actions, nor does it justify pretending this war doesn’t exist when it becomes inconvenient.
