EBU postponing the final to another date would not surprise me anymore. They have lost control.

So the spokesperson from the Swedish police confirmed that there is currently no criminal suspicion, and there was no physicial violence involved, yet EBU decided to not allow Joost to rehearse?

Give us some TRANSPARENCY for fuck's sake, just some confirmation of what actually happened without going into details should be possible????

Ssssssssshh... for god's sake. This could count as news. I want more Serhat content.

I don't think having Israel placed at a dead spot will make a blind bit of difference when it comes to people voting for them solely to support what's going on.

People who have never voted before, let alone watched Eurovision will be casting votes to see a win - every comment section is filled with pro Israel "vote for them" comments

And those boycotting the event won't be watching anyway, so we could see a situation where the countervoting is not strong enough

What's that serious that he didn't perform at the jury show, if it wasn't physical violence?

I'm totally lost here.

Glad to be free of serhat posting, we don't know what happened so it is pointless to speculate further at this point. I am very curious to see where the points that would have gone the way of the Dutch will go now.
