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

DQ on what basis exactly  People should move on with their lives.

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  

 

DQ for a cocaine snorting move would be utterly insane  

 

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

Feeling quite a bit of deja-vu looking at the replies to BBC Eurovision...

Obvious why Italy won

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. 

 

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.

Sounds like Italy is up for a drug test. Meanwhile broken glass was indeed found at their place.
