Topic: Eurovision 2024 (May 11th, semis on the 7th/9th)

Who has Bob signed off Eurovision then?

Nothing there for me. The two Estonian lads got home safely, and will be in England in August playing Shambala festival: despite Eurovision, they are in fact cool! My current roster does fine; our next shows in Liverpool just happen to be on consecutive nights in October, 9 & 10, both at the Tung. Gives me an excuse to be in town for a few days anyway; Eurovision it ain’t!

We can all agree Estonia we're robbed.

Exactly.

One reporter even openly victim-blamed her, asking her why she dared to endanger the other groups with her participation!

The question was “if,” not “why,” but I would concur that the tone was accusatory rather than genuinely enquiring.

I liked Estonia. I think they were one of the first 2-3 to reveal their song and from that initial batch it was my favourite, something a bit different with good energy on stage. They should be proud of the effort.

I actually liked the Estonia entry. I'm not going to rush out and buy their albums. But they are entertaining.

Not surprising in the slightest when you see posts from loads on here backing them in the news forum. That really surprised me. Delighted all the racists around Europe made them get top points, spent money on it and all for nothing.

Ireland gave them 10 points by the way.

Was just thinking the same thing.

Just after I saw ya can’t take it seriously n all

Just glad Endo never entered a song. He’s not a Six Singer him

Fucking FSG. Any wonder Klopps fucking off?

Tries to sign Rambo Amadeus and gets Bucks Fizz

  Surprised someone hasnt pointed out hes Japanese and this is the EUROVISION song contest so hes not allowed to participate plus the fact there were better options anyway if were looking at a singer from Japan with better XK rating (thats expected K Pop chart position stats for you none nerds)

Um... what do you think the K in "K-Pop" stands for?

Google also tells me that J-Pop also exists, and "The main musical influences in J-Pop in general are rock and jazz, while Korean youth music is more influenced by electronic dance music and hip hop". I have no idea how true that is, but I expect fans of the genres can tell them apart instantly.

Incidentally there's also JK Pop, which is typically released as an incessant droning sound with transphobic lyrics.

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

haha i fucking knew someone would be along with exactly that

Theres plenty of japanese acts in K POP

See Chops

[Sir Capon of Debaser]

Funnily enough theres a girl band from japan called XG who are big in K POP

PARP

I don't quite agree - but well done!

We are in Europe and it was very much expected. I don't believe there were any bots needed for them to get it.
