Is Croatia the baby lasagna song?

yes!

 

[TeaTimeTreats]

Ooh that’s a great one the Croatian one…. I do love Spain though she’s like a Dolly Parton / Cher cross! Does Joost sing euro papa.. he’s in the shit by the looks of it

 

[Hannahebee]

If this is true I think this confirms that Joost has been disqualified.

 

[PurplePie]

Why is there always some dope who starts singing Imagine

 

[Miss Begotten]

This is a shit storm

Allegedly, it’s not to do with Israel and joost hit a female (Swedish) worker

That’s very strange because I read that the person he hit was someone from the Israeli delegation who was mocking his dead parents. ( Which obviously could just be someone trying to stir the pot )
Either way, IF he has put his hands on someone then he absolutely has to be removed from the competition.

 

[Mrs Fluff]

Is there any precedent for the disqualification of an act so close to the contest? I don't recall one but then I did kind of go on strike from Eurovision during the bloc voting era.

A photographer according to this - all the latest reports say not Israeli and many say part of the Swedish production team. Seems like a lot of people were stirring the pot about Israel for no reason in this specific case

If the Dutch entry is out will they be replaced?
In my view its not necessary as there's too many songs anyway we can get to bed a few minutes earlier

I saw the video of the interaction with the Israeli, it was just his security and an Israeli journalist that had beef. I think this is separate

 

[Grifty Mc]

People wanting to boycott it seem a little bit obsessed.

Well

 

[Hannahebee]

Well

Her announcement was just to say that she is releasing a new song.

Don't they have stand ins? in case people are ill (remember the portuguese bloke who was very poorly and won - his sister was there in case she needed to sing in his place).

God this is a mess.

 

[Miss Begotten]

Has anyone else seen that Spain may be withdrawing?

 

[DanDanTheIceCreamMan]

No? where did you see that?

 

[CovergirlD]

Icl whatever the truth is putting Joost in between two israelis is so dumb

It seems the truth is it was nothing to do with the Israelis though so why are people so eager to still blame them and bring them into what seems to be a man losing his temper with part of the production team and then facing the consequences of his behaviour? A tale as old as time.

the photographer will be a mossad agent next

 

[Hannahebee]

Again I don't know how true this is but according to someone on ESC United RTVE and some other broadcasters are demanding the DQ for Israel. This is getting worse by the hour.
