Eurovision 2024 Semi-final 2 thread (lemmy.world)

As there has been some interest in a live thread such as the ones on r/eurovision, here is the live thread for the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
Sadly, I didn’t find any Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/. But as this community is still pretty small, I think refreshing the website once after each song should be okay.

Talking about German fans and showing a group with a Belgian flag. Nailed it!

Just on song 11. And semi final 1 seems much higher quality. Hard to see anyone beating Croatia, but Spain and Malta both stand outs so far tonight so far

These interchangeable long-haired women in skimpy outfits with the dance style of rhythmic pelvic floor gymnastics are a bit boring...

I prefer fun performances and hope that these artists do well.

Aaaand here comes Estonia for that. I had only seen a little of their song. Love how they have the crowd chanting, the traditional instruments, the on-stage beefing. Good show.

Well, the final proof of Eurovision being rigged (other than last year's jury vote making Sweden win) is Israel making it in.

I'm boycotting the Finals.

In 2014, Russia got 7th place, after attacking Crimea. The contest is not "rigged". Many people vote primarily based on the music, no matter how you judge that. And in case of Israel, I also assume there are people voting specifically for them.

Considering there's absolutely no transparency in the voting process, I have a hard time believing it's not rigged.

Even the invasion of Crimea wasn't an attempt at genocide.

And it wasn't even that a good a song compared to some of the others that didn't get in.

People often reeeeally overestimate the representativeness of their own bubble. As a reality check, I just looked on the Youtube live comments and searched for Israel and basically all of them are positive:

Of course this can be due to the chat being moderated and some things being deleted (although there were also Free Palestine comments), but saying that there are no fans of that song / entry is just wrong.
