You really don't NEED to know anything about Eurovision. No one does...
They've banned Palestinian flags and let Israel compete. There's nothing to nothing to know, just don't watch it.
Here's what you need to know about Eurovision.
Don't bother watching.
Edit: Hope you downvoters know that not only is Israel competing, but Palestinian flags are banned.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Artists from 37 countries across Europe and beyond will perform original songs — ranging from soaring power ballads to the bombastically ridiculous — to compete for the public’s vote, before a winner is chosen in a high-drama Grand Final.
“If you haven’t seen it or heard of it, you’re probably living in a sad world,” Silvester Belt, this year’s entrant from Lithuania, told NBC News.
Seven decades later, Eurovision is more beloved than ever, moving beyond TV to spawn a vast ecosystem of superfan blogs and social media accounts breathlessly covering its every development.
Iconic performances of past decades have included a group of Russian babushkas, a Finnish heavy metal band dressed as monsters, and a bearded Austrian drag queen singing what could have been a James Bond theme song.
“I think that the majority is in it to win it,” Eurovision co-host Petra Mede said, but some countries focus less on sending a strong singer, and more on a memorable performance that will have people talking, providing a “spectacular entry.
Klein performs in a blue suit with exaggerated pointy shoulder pads, with backup dancers who include a person in a bird costume wearing an E.U.-logo tie.
The original article contains 1,493 words, the summary contains 197 words. Saved 87%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Fuck Eurovision and their Zionists
First semifinal in just two days. If you have somewhere to watch it, I recommend it strongly.
Oh, and come on over and bring more life to !eurovision@lemmy.world :)
In the US you can watch it on the Peacock App
