@BumbacComeback Maybe they will do another vote regarding our participation (Which it's result will probably be in favour of us especially considering the general assembly last year), but there's no way that they will just ban us all of sudden
Regarding the viewing figures, even if somehow we're getting banned next year, I'm quite sure that there will be a reversed boycott from at least 🇩🇪🇦🇹, so it's not gonna help the viewing figures to come back to what they were
@Brun1us@theswedenboo I definitely do agree about that it's unfair tho, like even as an Israeli I want us to be judged again as every other country, but I will always die on that hill that had it been other country, or many of those same complaining people been pro-israeli, it wouldn't have been
1/2
@Brun1us@theswedenboo The only post 7th of October year when we actually won the televoting was 2025 tho, while in 2024 we were just 5th overall and this year we weren't even top 2 in the televoting and it was just for the juries having Romania even lower than us that made us reaching it
@theswedenboo Honestly Idc about moral or ethical reasons, it's just that people here need to realize that it's not as much as an easy thing to do as it made to be
It's a sizable drop, but not unexpected. While most attention will be on that, and the reasons for it, it's important to be balanced. Yes, a no of markets saw a fall, but others saw growth. Social engagement is still strong. ESC isn't dying, but it is going through a rough patch.
Tbf there will be for sure a decline this year tho considering we didn't have Netherlands and Spain this year, but I still can't see it behind 150M especially when in Eastern and Central Europe, the contest actually was doing very well this year

Actually a really good country, my top 3 here are all incredible and I only actually dislike my last place
Talking about the top 50 there btw, besides Michelle, only Bangaranga actually made it there (While last year there were 4 songs that did) the day after the contest
Honestly I would've believed that the boycott is the reason for the ESC songs this year not charting as well as previous years if also in Israel (a.k.a the reason for the boycott) there would've been more songs charting rather than just Bangaranga (And ofc Michelle too)
