I hope everyone will perform when it's their turn. We don't need new controversies.

 

[theditz83]

Don't you dare everyone - I cannot have another day of mental obsession refreshing feeds for news. Wtf

 

[GermanBango]

So at last we have some clarity now. I really don't know how to feel about all of this. It's a mess and the lack of communication left way too much room for speculation.

I hope for Martin Österdahl they rewrote the script and we won't be hearing "Let's go to our own Europapa MÖ"

They all do not need to sing tonight, EBU can use their SF performances, no problem.

 

[jatojo]

So this might be a MeToo-like case and not violence after all?

Artists skipping the flag parade on the family show isn't anything new. It happened in Rotterdam as well.

Bambie Thug clarified the situation in their Insta story. Nothing to worry about.

 

[bazinga]

They cannot divulge any information if there’s a police investigation. That’s how the law works.

Are people being deliberately stupid?

Yes they are.

Apparently the Israeli delegation started cheering when the news broke that was DQ.

I hate hypocrisy and provocations so much at this point.

How do you know it‘s true? I asked for a source and never got an answer.

 

[Loindici]

I wonder how much power does Moroccanoil actually have in the contest. Like, I'm really curious.
