This is so dumb. Just scrap having Eurovision in a hall with an audience if you mute them the whole ass time and use fake applause anyway.

Go have it in a tiny bunker in Israel and have a great time with it. This was a shitty viewing experience.

Sad but true. Crowd was almost completely removed and muted. Not many shots of crowd reactions compared to great shows from the past. And what’s the point of Martin even being there?

Their influence could be reduced. Like to 30%.

But there's another problem. I would accept the juries more if they voted for the best singers. But their criteria are too unclear.

Not even for singing only but overall package - give the artsy and more niche but authentic and interesting entries some love. That should be the juries' job.

Giving more points to Estonia over Albania as a jury is INSANE to me.

I have a solution for the Israel problem: let them win, let them host and leave the arena empty: no fans, no flags, nothing. Or let your delegations withdraw alledging "security problems". This is the only way to go. Let them host their Eurovision alone.

You know, I hate the idea of Israel winning right now....but tbh it might actually be a blessing in disguise if it did happen. Since it would force countries and the EBU themselves to actually directly confront the issue rather than skirting around it.

All this awkward skirting around is nauseating. How many more years will we have to deal with this vibe at Eurovision?

First of all, I told you guys that the public will love Estonia, surprised by the jury live though. The diaspora/refugee/war oriented public vote for many countries ruined the competition! Switzerland getting 0 points was the biggest crime ever! Ever! Netherlands will such a few points too!
