Congrats to the sensible Dutch guy. (And they should have won a few years ago with the Common Linnets). I'm surprised North Macedonia, Azerbaijan, and especially Australia didn't do better. Eurovision really is a blast.

Azerbaijan and Australia were both very good, imo.

Ok, no Rolling Stones, but next year Eurovision Song Contest in the Ziggo Dome !

Is it over? Did somebody win?

Please, no knocks on Madonna. Love that girl.

There is lot of buzz regarding Madonnas performance yesterday. Some are proposing she should use her big fee ($1,5 million apparently) to pay for her singing lessons.
The Netherlands jury said live on tv: "...I'm so grateful for this evening...and Madonna's autotune".

Well, from the little I have seen from it, it's clear that Iceland is the moral winner.

I wouldn't say so, Matxil. On the contrary. But it depends on your political view of course.

Agreed, but she made a fool of herself yesterday, unfortunately..

A surprising number of decent songs this year I thought: North Macedonia, Australia, Azerbaijan, Iceland, U.K., Netherlands and Russia for example. The interval, (which seemed to be far longer than in the past), had some excellent entertainment though I have to agree with an earlier post that Madonna was flat when she sang live and the second song was playback.

Not flat, totally off pitch

Wow!...how much does she charge for singing ON pitch?

Absolutely!
Amazing how the supposed “liberal” gay-friendly crowd reacted with such hostility at the glimpse of the flag that represents so many of their neighbours and fellow human beings.
The Iceland group sent a simple message of inclusion that was heard around the world!

Well, the nation that the Icelandic sexual sadist group insulted was the same nation that spent million of dollars (or shekels) on protecting them from their "neighbours and fellow human beings".
I'm sure their gay bdsm-skit would have been more welcomed in the Hamas occupied area. Don't you? Why didn't they go there instead of insulting their host?

Says the guy who made a “joke” implying that all Palestinians are terrorists.
Maybe stay off the politics and take your bigoted jokes elsewhere Stoneage.

You're lying, Bagpipe. I haven't made a joke about all Palestinians are terrorists. Stay off politics? It was you who brought it up. I merely responded to your support of the Icelandic violation of code of conduct.
Seems only fair to me. If you don't want politics - don't bring it up then.

Sorry, I misread it in the small print on my screen. That was not your “joke” about the Palestinian singing “Rockets to Israel”. You just quoted it. My apologies.

Apology accepted.

Good point!

One thing that always strikes me from the few minutes of Eurovision that I can never seem to avoid seeing...

...is that the sound engineers are invariably even worse than the artists.

[and that's quite an achievement ]

I think the directors of these events are even worse than the sound engineers : MTV-style/epileptic editing, wild camera movement that bring nothing, etc etc.

Seems to be a sport here to diss everything with the ESC. Everything! Although I agree with much of the criticism I do not agree that everything with the ESC is bad.
For example the stage, light- and video-design is very elaborated. I would say much more so than The Rolling Stones dito.

On another note: Madonna has switched out the sound from her ESC performance on her Youtube channel. England came last in the competition and John Lundvik
(the Swedish participant) has taken some guilt for that. He says he failed in his effort to teach the English contestant (whoever it was) the basics of singing...

The turnaround time between sets was astonishing, and I don't know how the Australian Kate Bush did her thing.

I read something about corruption by the Belarus jury, which surprisingly didn't give the maximum 12 points to Mother Russia.
