Eurovision 2025
Thursday, May 22nd, 2025 | Distractions
Good songs this year. I liked Denmark but I was apparently the only person in Europe that did.
There were two points of controversty rearding Isreal’s performance. First was the claim that there was fake cheering added. The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) have confirmed that this was true.
Second, multiple countries have now asked for audits into the voting. I think it is plausible that Israel did win the public vote. It’s very easy for the Pro-Israel camp to make a political statement by voting but almost impossible for the Pro-Palestine camp to do the same because there are 24 other options to vote for. It’s the same problem we have in the UK general elections: first past the post does not create a result that accurately represents the views of the electorate.
Well done JJ for winning the thing.
