Eurovision 2024: The Netherlands' entry Joost Klein not rehearsing 'until further notice' over 'incident' - as EBU website goes down

The Netherlands' track Europapa is one of the most memorable of the show and was described by one critic as "so bad" it will "put you off music forever". The EBU, which organises Eurovision, says it is investigating an unexplained incident.

What are the odds on our entry ( oh errr missus) actually managing to sing in tune and hitting one or two notes rather than cavorting upside down with the fellas in boxing gear?

Beat me to it !! Why does he need them in boxing gear ? Is it a gay thing ? Thinking Village People back in the day.

Had to chuckle when Rylan & Scott Mills put out a "warning" about one of the other acts wearing revealing costumes / bodysuits a few songs after the UK performed, but funnily enough said nothing beforehand about our staging

Always enjoyed Eurovision, but really not been impressed with this years entries on the whole. Last song I really liked was this one....

That Cornelia Jakobs song is genuinely beautiful, was on my general playlist from the first time I heard it.

I actually really like the Spanish and Austrian songs, but then I do love a bit of EuroDance

I never have a clue who is going to win, never managed to pick a winner yet. I know Croatia have the early running, but fear the Irish monstrosity of a song might win the popular vote. My outside bet is Nemo from Switzerland, think it'll either do really well or tank.

Because people can wear whatever they want and they haven't complained about it.

Nurse Gladys is in Malmo for the event, she couldn't get Final tickets but has tickets for the Final Dress Rehearsal.
I was subjected to both Semi Finals, for me the music is a bit samey every year however the performances get better.
She rates Croatia's entry, might put 50p on it.

Go Croatia! - Loud and aggressive and memorable and fun, it blends elements of rock and techno to tell the story of a farm boy saying goodbye to his milking stool and setting out for the big city

You never forget your first Croatian milking stool.

Joostice for Klein.

Has he been axed because he put a towel over his head whilst the Israeli entry was speaking at the press conference?

I will be voting Netherlands for sure now.

I’ve gone all in on Latvia. When I say all in I mean £1 ew. If they win then it’s paid for most of next years season ticket. If they finish top 4 then that’s the food and drink covered for the last 2 home games.

Eurovision Song Contest: Dutch contestant Joost Klein disqualified https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-68993726

I lot of votes up for grabs now as he would’ve been popular with the viewer vote.

Could change the overall result.

Well that will go down brilliantly with the audience tonight!

I fear for the reaction when the Israeli lady takes to the stage

We don't actually know what the 'incident' was though. May have been nothing to do with Israel.

Seemly it wasn’t. It’s reported in Swedish media that there was a row between him and the production staff and one lady in particular. Police were called seemly

but the conspiracy theorists will still link it. SM is covered in it now

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

Regardless of the result it seems certain rim tim tagi dim is going to be a massive hit across europe and a top 10 uk hit by next friday

An Irish priest is not - entirely - on board with Bambie Thug:

Priest slams Bambie Thug and says Ireland is 'finished' in controversial sermon

Bambie Thug will represent Ireland at this year’s Eurovision Song Contest in Malmo in Sweden with their song, Doomsday Blue.

Why is Israel participating in Eurovision?

Should be a Middleastovision song contest with Israel competing with their neighboring countries , would tune in for that just for the laughs

Whilst voting is as crooked as a nine quid note anyway, I do wonder if it could be a near null point job for Israel tonight? With the only nation giving them points possibly the UK?
