Hello Eurovision Family!
I will be doing a Q&A over on my YouTube channel (ThePeaceAround) later this week! I’ve missed you all, and ready for a little reset ♥️
Please leave your questions for me under my most recent community post on my channel page 😊
This is one of the worst things I have seen happen to a Eurovision YouTuber. @esc_gabe brings brilliant content and very well researched and put together videos. I’m so sorry that this happened to you. The YouTube space this year is at an all time level of toxicity.
Not only is this video slanderous and full of lies about me, it also suggests that the Holocaust happened because Jewish people didn't stand up for themselves (clip attached)
Please report it.
@tomodo I look forward to seeing your photos every Eurovision season Tom! Should have probably said this earlier on, but they’re excellent 😊 keep at it!
my dad got excited and told me: did you know that the Irish representative is also BINARY?
bless him, didn't get this quite right, but is eager to learn! a week ago he didn't know being non-binary is a thing
Will they cut to the Dutch spokesperson giving the points tonight? Will they make a statement? Or will they cut to Martin instead delivering the 12 points? It’s a shambles.
As a result of no participation from the Netherlands in the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final the following will take effect:
All contestants keep their number in the official Running Order. There will be NO song in position number 5.
The jury results, received after Dress Rehearsal 2 on Friday 10 May have been recalculated so that the Netherlands will not receive any points. This is why all jury members have to rank all songs from 1 to 26.
For example if the Netherlands was ranked 9th by a national jury in a country the 10th ranked song is now ranked 9th and will receive 2 points and the former 11th ranked song is now 10th and gets 1 point.
No points will be awarded to the Netherlands from the viewing public.
Viewers in the Netherlands are still allowed to vote in the Grand Final and the Netherlands Jury result in still valid.
The EBU will inform all telecommunications partners that the Netherlands is no longer participating, and we will endeavor to block the lines for Song 5. We ask that no one attempts to vote for Song 5. Should anyone try to vote for song 5 their votes will not count but there is a possibly viewers may be charged.
The Netherlands will not appear on the scoreboard.

This is a bit of a side note on yesterday’s craziness, but I feel like this contest just doesn’t feel ‘Swedish’ at all? I have barely seen any images or postcards which reference Swedish culture? Last year, the contest had such a Ukrainian fingerprint despite being in Liverpool!
