Did he have prior vocal training of was specifically scouted for this during a karaoke night? 

Yeah. I highly doubt Nikkie de Jager will present the Dutch votes with a nice cheery "it's been so great to watch the show!" and stuff like that  

WTF!! Prince Dahal of himself doesn't know he qualified for Olympics. I had congratulated him on his Instagram 
 

Netherlands is officially DSQ. Sadly.

Aaaaaand it's done. No  tonight.

Wouldn't be surprised if in a few weeks it turns out not much happened and this was all for nothing....

The Greco qualification is over
 
there were 96+1 quotas, ( 96 + a conman refugee)
 
if we consider RUS and BLR as separate teams (which I do) we will have 37 countries in Greco with at least one wrestler.
 
6 
5 
4 
3 
2 
1 
 
41 quotas for Europe, 26 for Asia, 15 Pan America and 14 Africa
 
from traditionally strong Greco teams I think Sweden is missing, Brazil, Croatia, Sweden, Denmark, Estonia and Mexico won at least 1 Greco quota last time in 2021 but failed to do so this time.

If this whole (yet again) circus isn't enough for Bjorkman, Osterdahl and all of the current figureheads running Eurovision being booted once and forever. Maybe 15 countries boycotting next year would be the needed catharsis.

Confirmed on the facebook page of the chad olympic committee sorry it's in french

Would be happy with a win for  or  

Belgium out 

Qualifies its first athletes for Paris Olympics by qualifying their Men’s Football team. 
They won their  playoff match against Indonesia.

I enjoyed the arrival of the flame at Marseille, and lucky to have visited that city a few years ago (the only place I have been in France). 

I would change Serbia with Australia, but in general an amazing show!!
 
Now the darkest semifinal and moment in the history of eurovision (like the Bosnian jury calling from a bunker in the 90') 
 
I do hope that Israel won't qualify, they are not a peaceful country and they don't deserve to enjoy this type of shallow activities. 
 
 
Probably the EBU will use fake applause so the show will look very amateur, so sad
