without recent Eurovision I wouldn’t have found out about Tommy cash or Joost but yeah honestly fuck Eurovision, I recently watched a video showing all winners and losers side its conception and something I’ve noticed:
not only has Israel won with mediocre at best performances, probably only as an excuse to have Eurovision hosted there to help socially legitimize the colonial settler state, they have won with some god awful fucking performances and that alone should disqualify them.
