Eurovison was a much simpler affair 40 years ago

IMO Belgium finished in 11th place as they were 2/5 to qualify whilst Latvia were 7/1.

Something about golden shoes according to subtitles

Are they going to have actual ABBA at the final. Can't imagine they are going to miss the chance for a 50 year tribute.

I was wondering if they would do it as holograms, like the London show. That’s got to be a possibility.

If they don't get them there in some form on Saturday they never will. In Sweden on their 50th Anniversary ?? Got to be in with chance.

 

[Hannahebee]

Let's be honest who on here had Latvia down as a qualifier it's got to be one of the biggest surprises in quite a few years IMO. Me and my mum liked the song but we never expected it to qualify so the fact it has has left us feeling very happy.

Israël are going to win

They are according to Italy's apparently accidentally broadcast televote results, yes.

Although it's not been confirmed that what scrolled across the broadcast was definitely their results.

Israel won the Italian televote – by a landslide?

The second semi final of Eurovision 2024 finished moments ago, and the remaining 10 finalists proceeding to Saturday's Final have been selected. They are (in performance order): Greece, Switzerland, Austria, Armenia, Latvia, Georgia, Estonia, Israel,

If they do appear, it'll most likely be an ABBAtar performance. The big screen on stage seems geared up for it.

The most we can hope for is the real ABBA walk on at the end of the performance and give a wave like they did at the opening of Voyage.

Just seen Israel is now 2nd favourite to win the thing???

Italy leaked the televote and Israel had something like 40% of the televote - Ukraine apparently only had 25% in Italy when they won

Israel has a strong community of people in every country who will vote to show support

I saw someone reason that the EBU’s running order has clearly been designed to get more people to vote for the countries around it - Netherlands specifically are expected to get public support

 

[Restless Native]

I've had that Swiss tune stuck in my head since I got up this morning

 

[monza]

Italy should be disqualified or get some kind of huge fine for this

There is not a chance that all this Israel odds jump and winning random televotes is regular

What's wrong with the world mamma

So disappointed

 

[Scotch Mist]

I was hoping that Israel wouldn't qualify for the final as I want to listen to a song contest and not hear about politics. Their song is OK but I really hope it doesn't win because its not the best.

Please can people not come on this thread to make childish posts about the conflict
Most of us here just want to have a bit of fun discussing the songs and daft costumes.

It was my pick to win initially, still second pick after Croatia. But after last night who knows anymore.

There's quite a few contenders this year!
I have a feeling that Switzerland may win now.
