Nope, the French song was good and France would be absolutely right in pushing for disqualification for such behaviour. 

No, don't worry, France did not do it .. and it is not France that created the controversy either. we will come back to you stronger next year .. and it may be our chance

I hope you're joking. How about being innocent until found guilty?

Or about...it being one's own choice anyway, half the artists were getting shitfaces with glass after glass of wine and beer anyway :p 

 

DQ for a cocaine snorting move would be utterly insane :lol: 

 

I only posted it because I thought it was funny people apparently don't have enough to do and so found something new to make a big deal of even though it's just not at all worth being a big deal.

There was no cocaine at all, people just fabricate stuff. The way he acted afterwards was completely normal. Does anyone really believe they will bring such stuff in the full arena, infront of thousands, their delegation being next to them all the time and cameras/phones everywhere...

I'm amused this festival of the third rate is taken so seriously .

Sure it can be a festival of gayness  but popular music ?

Over many decades there are only a small handful of acts and songs which have lasted even the most minor test of time . None recently .

I suspect it's appeal has something to do with continental Europe's huge resentment of the Anglosphere for so dominating popular music

Third rate? This is the World's largest Live Music Event.

Don't get anything wrong: More than anything, it's a massive entertainment show!

But songs not lasting "even the most minor test of time"? Is that test of time you remembering it? Sure only a few are hits at the level of Waterloo, but I can assure you that there are still plenty of songs that are remembered by millions!

And huge resentment? Really?

I'm pretty happy with the results this year, this is my top 10 of last night's show. 

 

:BEL

:ITA

:SUI

:FRA

:BUL

:UKR

:ISL

:FIN

:POR

:LTU

8/10

 

Reason why Iceland (14th) & Lithuania (12th) didn’t entered in my top 10 is because the former seems like a bad carbon copy from last year, when they quirkiness was refreshing; and of the former because the song was to me like a cupcake without the frosting: appealing but you need to polish it to completely sell it.

    • Shemyakina won a bronze medal in 2014 Worlds and was one of our leader but leave the squad due to pregnancy (she has 2 daughters if I'm not mistaking, so she chose family instead of sport). And speaking of foil we have back in the day Sergiy Golubitskyi, who was Olympic silver medalist and won some medals in other competitions and coached his wife Caroline Golubitskyi - one of the German foil specialists. Even in women's foil we had medal in Women's foil at the European championship - it was Olha Leleiko, our current national coach. So no, we are pretty good fencing country, and depending on generations of our athletes some events are more "profitable" for us and some don't. 
    • Shemyakina that was a very strange story. She unexpectedly won the games but before and after she literally achieved nothing. After that success in 2012 she also completely disappeared. It's only in epee that such strange situations. That's why I've always preferred foil and sabre, because the top was more stable there, although that's changing now. The competition has grown a lot all over the world.
    • Sinner probably won't play in another edition of the Davis Cup. That shouldn't come as a surprise. Next season, Wimbledon and maybe Paris should be the goal.
    • No, our epee was good always, we have Shemyakina, who was Olympic Champion in 2012, Reizlin with bronze in 2020, medalists of Worlds like Kryvytska (who is our finisher today), Svichkar (who is our finisher in men's side) and Stankevych, European champion Kharkova, medals in other conpetitions from men's team epee who were one of the main contenders in Tokyo, but unfortunately failed to take a medal. 
    • Does Ukraine have good relations with Poland, or are they more cold, like, for example, Italy with France?
    • Until recently, Ukrainian fencing was just Kharlan and sabre. Maybe epee sometimes. I don't remember them ever was strong in foil. There was a time when Russia, Romania and Poland were strong in foil at that time when Italy dominated but I don't remember Ukraine anymore.   Hungarian women with Aida Mahomed were too strong for many years.
    • No surprise with Aaron Judge winning AL MVP and Shohei Ohtani winning NL MVP awards.   Ohtani is the second player in history to win MVP in both leagues. Frank Robinson (1961 Reds & 1966 Orioles) was the only one before.
    • Ukraine twice in one day defeated Italy and France, like what the heck?
