Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/, the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

Switzerland deserved it, im suprised about germany, ireland deserved a bit better and i think fuckery happened with israel. Really bummed about netherlands tho.

[–] Korne127@lemmy.world 13 points 6 months ago (1 children)

If Netherland wouldn't have happened, this would have been such a great ESC. But yeah… they just needed to fuck it all up.
Honestly, while I'm happy about Switzerland (and Germany tbh), I'm just… still feeling awful, because I feel so sorry for Joost, as this was so important and emotional to him with his parents. I really despise Österdahl and the EBU right now for taking that from him.

I dont get why the jury from netherlands was banned aswell, felt really awful

Correction from comments: Not banned but stepped down, still felt wierd

As far as I know, they weren't banned, there was just no-one willing to be a spokesperson lol. But this is just what I heard from a comment in a thread, so don't take it as verified.

Nikki de Jager (who was supposed to be the spokesperson) said on TV that it didn't feel right to hand out points. The Dutch broadcaster then told the EBU to just figure it out themselves.
Käärijä (Finland) also stepped down but got replaced, and Alessandra (Norway) already stepped down earlier because of Isreal.

Were they banned? It's just announcing the twelve-point vote, I assumed they didn't want to participate anymore after being disqualified.
