Never mind. Googled it. Allowed with restrictions since 2021 due to the pandemic. It’s just clearly getting way worse over time and now it’s super prominent in EVERY act. What a massive shame. Very obvious decrease in quality.

#ESC2025 Also am I missing something or have they changed the rules about backing vocals? No longer have to be live on stage?

[Chris @RiotChords]

@aussievisionnet Am I crazy or have they started allowing pre-recorded vocals in backing tracks? That never used to be permitted. Every act has obvious non-live vocal elements.

[Chris @RiotChords]

@SBSEurovision Has every act thrown something and then had it reappear in their hands seconds later? Coffee cups to mic stands. Like magic.

[Chris @RiotChords]

#ESC2025 Big trends this year: Songs in native languages with choruses in other languages. Also throwing things and having them magically appear back in their hands seconds later.

@Telstra Hello. I have been away for work and had no reception; I still need assistance. I’ll PM my name and DOB. I just need it to be escalated without the ticket immediately being closed off “by mistake”.

[Chris @RiotChords]

@Telstra I ordered a device in November. I still don’t have it. I understand that things happen, but just getting any customer service AT ALL to get any help whatsoever has been impossible. I’m enraged and at my wit’s end. Please for the love of god, escalate this! #98153121

@Telstra This is what I’m talking about. Obviously I have already done that. I didn’t get anywhere. There is not point calling them again - I need a senior CSR to look at this. Refer to the ticket for further - it’s just not good enough. I need it to be rectified, and I need compensation.

[Chris @RiotChords]

@Telstra It was an Apple Watch. The delay was because StarTrack refused to deliver it twice. That’s not the problem. I can’t get Telstra to help me arrange redelivery or even reply to emails. Chats always get “I’ll send this to the team” but I never hear back. It’s been a whole month.

@10NewsFirstMelb Your caption on screen now says “Climate Figthers”, just FYI

@joelcreasey @MyfWarhurst another stellar year. Immaculate hosting ❤️

“Those nails are going to go in the toilet later. She’ll flick em off in the dunny.” @MyfWarhurst I laughed so hard I almost peed.

Sorry but the UK was in no way the second worst act this year. #Eurovision2023

[Chris @RiotChords]

The votes this year are a bit cooked, no? #Eurovision2023 @SBSEurovision

[Chris @RiotChords]

Catherine Tate missed an opportunity to do her French interpreter bit. Love. #Eurovision2023

[Chris @RiotChords]

Honestly, Loreen could have walked out on stage, farted into the mic, said “Fuck you” and walked off, and I still would have been like “YES DOUZE POINTS” @SBSEurovision #Eurovision2023

[Chris @RiotChords]

I literally have goosebumps. I’m so ready for Loreen to win again! @SBSEurovision #Eurovision2023

[Chris @RiotChords]

I will never not adore @dadimakesmusic and his beautiful wife. So, so much love for them @SBSEurovision #Eurovision2023

[Chris @RiotChords]

So thrilled to see a tipsy Graham Norton hosting. Finally. #Eurovision2023
