I can't be the only one who will be partly on edge throughout all three shows hoping and praying nothing horrendous happens during our beloved Eurovision week? Although...
This is absolutely amazing. Croatia really think they can do it this year & they're putting the effort in and getting behind Baby Lasagna on a scale I never ever thought would be possible - it's fantastic to see!
So Marus & Martinus performed on UK TV the other day and I had no idea lol
A) Is Blue Peter still going (???)
B) They do realise that Eurovision doesn't have the age categorised voting like Melfest does right??
C) Huge opportunity missed to actually promote the song to bill paying adults lol

Last night was sad to see - Olly was harangued outside by Queers for Palestine with his face blasted all over boycott messages & their propaganda. This isn't what he signed up for - nor is this what we should accept as the norm. Eurovision is an apolitical contest.
I fully agree with their message minus the boycott part as for me boycotting a major event like Eurovision seems pointless when you could if anything use your presence for good
There were protestors outside the London Eurovision Party yesterday holding placards of every artist that signed the open letter (Bambie’s, Olly, Silvester, Gåte etc) calling on them to boycott Eurovision for the Palestinians.
I’m afraid I agree with Martin on this one; Eurovision is not here...
I wholeheartedly welcome Olly’s joint statement with several other acts. Boycotting Eurovision will not have anywhere near as much impact as using your platform to raise awareness of what’s going on in this conflict!
