Songs have different meanings that could resonate with different people, this year I liked some songs with "messages" such as France and Ireland, but also some others that maybe didn't have much "meaning" such as Bulgaria. The thing is (and I already said this), I don't think Israel won because of "diversity" or whatever. It won because of the cray - somehow it entertained voters more than any other song. Cyprus could have won but I guess the final performance hut her chances (and, honestly, I don't think that would be such a great winner either).

rybak 2,800 Posted May 12, 2018 Author #805 Share Posted May 12, 2018 I guess that we will withdraw from the contest as we have very bad relationships with Israel, just like Russia with Ukraine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, no matter if Erdogan would send his mumbling grandma as Turkey's song, the Dutch televoting would still result in a ton of points for Turkey simply because there are a ton of Turkish people living here. mrv86 1 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Jesus, can it just once be a song contest and not some political message or whatever? Yeah, well apparently not as even after winning the contest one of the first things the singer says is "Let's meet at JERUSALEM next year." My favourite Volleyball position: LIBERO. You ask why?
