Aren't we all soldiers of love, really? (Sometimes Eurovision reviews, three minutes or so at a time, always a @thegrimrecapper vanity exercise.)

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

Very simple rules: I watch a #Eurovision entry at random, I tweet about it, I watch a new Eurovision entry at random. What could possibly go wrong?

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

What needs to happen:

Österdahl fired
The EBU Reference Group fired
Israel banned
Moroccanoil contract terminated
Atonement to the Netherlands (disproportionate, as the DQ was)
A public statement admitting culpability

What will actually happen:

Nothing

@DanieTreg I'm just imagining the booing if the EBU brushes this under the rug and Martin's still there next year.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

Well, the Netherlands won't be back next year then. 💔

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

Which old French #Eurovision act is most likely to make a random appearance at the #Paris2024 closing ceremony?

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

American Baton Contest.

Which French Eurovision act is most likely to appear at the Paris 2024 opening ceremony?

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@SchlagerKaty Wow, that's verrrrry "Sing Hallelujah".

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

(In the past they used ISO codes to sort, so 🇬🇧🇭🇷🇨🇭 were placed as GB/HR/CH, but this year it's just English alphabetical order which means 🇬🇧 moves to CD2. Then splitting the odd number of tracks so the extra one is on CD2 means 🇮🇪 is buried at the end of CD1 and ☠️ opens CD2.)

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

Saw this year's Eurovision CD in a shop last night (didn't buy) and if you're still expecting the @EBU_HQ to actually do anything meaningful in the face of genocide, please note the track order this year was changed to ensure Hurricane was Track 1 and thus impossible to avoid.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

Enough time has passed, do we think the choice of miniskirt + mismatched baggy jacket was a deliberate callback?

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@JamesMartinTVR I disagree that it wasn't bad. Even things that should have been great were terrible. I don't know how or when Petra forgot how to read an autocue, for example, but that happened constantly during the three shows.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

In January, so many past winners wanted to be involved with Luxembourg's national final that eight of them got demoted to a Cameo montage.

By May, the @EBU_HQ had mishandled things so badly Charlotte Perrelli got trotted out three times in Malmö.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

Eurovision songs only, please.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@MaxxyRainbow Instead of meat...

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@LoveLovePeaceP1 @SchlagerKaty I'm fine with it. Happy to help out as you need to, but it'd be early Sunday Australia time and I'd be getting ready to work so I don't know how much assistance I could be.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@LoveLovePeaceP1 @SchlagerKaty Eurovision Revision would still be available.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@LoveLovePeaceP1 @SchlagerKaty Europapast.

[EuRevision @EuRevision]

@EuroOzdale Yes. Policy was explicitly "rainbow flag", not "pride flag". They're backpedaling because after everything else that happened they realise that punishing the winner would be too far for a big swathe of homose--Eurovision fans.
