Did anyone else watch Eurovision? I was hoping Croatia would win, after pulling for Finland last year I guess I have a knack for picking 2nd place teams! Switzerland wasn't even in my top 5...and I was jogging to the Dutch song a few hours earlier before learning he got kicked out. Always some scandal for an event that's supposed to be above politics! And no surprise ABBA reunion ![:(](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/sad.png)

BTW thank you guys, loved the interaction. With an Israeli main sponsor and the Dutch contestant being the slightest bit critical during a press conference and ousted soon after, I would say, yes political. Loved the booing! But it always is, Ukraine didn’t win because they had the best song either.

Funny part to me was Americans thinking if they would just put out Beyoncé or Taylor Swift they’d win. Really not getting the spirit of Eurovision 🤣, quality is not necessarily the determining factor.

I haven't yet. I have watched it a few ways throughout the years. Live as it happened, semi finals and to the end, just performances supposed to be great, etc. I think I preferred waiting till it was done and just going through quick or looking up a list of best performances and whatnot. So I'll be watching whatever I do from soon

I have never watched it. I can't stand when music is more about show (lights, effects, costumes, dancing) than about the music itself. Also when female singers use their body to "please" the audience (by the way they move or what they wear - or rather not wear - .... )

I needed therapy after watching this year's contest.
Aside from all the backstage dramas, i thought it was nowhere near as strong as the last few, from a song standpoint.
And Norway was robbed.
