"How on earth did Eurovision 2018 manage to have an absolute banger of a metal song with a key change?"

The wait is over - 12 points is back! Well, on Patreon. Our new episode is available there now, and available everywhere else on Friday. www.patreon.com/12pointsfrom...

I for one am excited to be United By Squiggles

Hey everyone! We know it’s been a hectic summer for us between work trips and weddings, but we’ll be back next week and resuming our more regular schedule. We miss you all dearly. ❤️

Now offering protection against NQ’s

Not to be confused with the salt with a beautiful singing voice, Sale Diodato

Our new episode is a deep dive on Andorra at #Eurovision! It'll be available shortly wherever you get your podcasts. We also just dropped a new trivia segment, exclusively for Patrons:

Hey, American #Eurovision fans! The post-2016 full shows are still geoblocked, but performances that don't have rights issues have started to show up on YouTube in the US - no VPN needed! Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna watch Viszlát Nyár again:

The #Eurovision Podcrawl was undertaken by @escinsight.com, @windmachinepodcast.bsky.social, @eurowhat.bsky.social, @niallpoints.com, @12pointsusa.bsky.social, @thateurosite.bsky.social and Douze Points!

Crazy that they went with an all new logo when the perfect historical one was sitting right here

Hey all! As a slightly belated heads up, there is no new 12 Points this week. Just a few too many things to juggle at once (*cough*wedding*cough*), but we’ll be back next week. See you then!

It’s fine, but it also really looks like the logo for a new brand of Eurovision-themed marshmallows

Looks like we might be close to seeing JESC legend Olena Usenko at Vidbir:

Renewed our pop music credentials for 2025/26 with @12pointsusa.bsky.social and @tjvanhouten.bsky.social at #SporcleCon

The Eurovision Pod Crawl has made its way to us! This week, the team (including Danny!) have a lot to say about Eurovision 1987. Oh what a year this is.

the 1969 four way tie was good actually and more years should have more than one winner

What's a Eurovision opinion that'll have you like this

Joining us so far @escinsight.com @windmachinepodcast.bsky.social @eurowhat.bsky.social @niallpoints.com @12pointsusa.bsky.social @thateurosite.bsky.social and #DouzePoints) You can find links to all of the podcasters and episodes at the Eurovision Podcrawl linktree page linktr.ee/eurovisionpo...

I can only assume we were 101st

Who do you think will win the OGAE Second Chance contest? And if it's a different answer - who do you think *should* win?

Last year, we were excited to learn that Leaf Pop Century, a celebrity trading card set, had included Nutsa Buzaladze autographs. That was wild. This might be wilder.

Shoutouts to everyone on the #EurovisionPodCrawl; @escinsight.com, @windmachinepodcast.bsky.social @eurowhat.bsky.social @niallpoints.com @12pointsusa.bsky.social @thateurosite.bsky.social and #DouzePoints for hosting along the way. And there may be more surprise stops coming up!

Hey everyone! We'd like to share a quick personnel update. Danny has decided to take a step back from full-time involvement with the show. There's no beef or drama here, and he'll still be around for previews and other special occasions here and there, but he won't be with us on a regular basis.

🪞NEW EPISODE🪞 #Eurovision has a unique ecosystem: fan media channels have a work relationship with the EBU in covering the Contest. But is that relationship working? We discuss the state of fan media with dudepoints, Niall from niallpoints, and Derek from 12 Points: www.eurowhat.com/273

Next up!

Not a lot of #Eurovision veterans could adequately cover "Wasted Love." Elina Nechayeva, however... www.youtube.com/watch?v=SaKQ...

That, as they say, is a wrap. Let’s close it out with one last podcast from Basel. @ewanspence.co.uk welcomes @dudepoints.fun, @escinsider.bsky.social, Erik, Liz and Madline to join us to look back at the 2025 Eurovision Song Contest before we all leave Switzerland. escinsight.com/2025/05/18/e...

436 is a historically low score for a winner in this era - lowest in the '24 points per country' area by a mile (Arcade had 498). This voting sequence really was as crazy as it felt.

Eurovision-winning songwriter

Ahh, so this is what it sounds like in color #Eurovision

It's certainy not out of the question, but Sweden has a LOT of ground to make up. The winner is completely up in the air still. #Eurovision

Our jury scores! #Eurovision

We haven't 100% confirmed this, we *think* the record for this is 20, which happened in 2011 (though it was a combined jury + televote then). Record or not, that's gonna be tough to beat. #Eurovision

At around halfway through, Austria and Switzerland remain on top, with Italy jumping to third. #Eurovision

Teya! #Eurovision

Average Montenegrin man #Eurovision

You get 12 points! And YOU get 12 points! #Eurovision

If only there were a phrase to describe our shock at this happening #Eurovision

The top of the leaderboard through 10 jury votes looks about how you'd expect: Austria, Switzerland, France. #Eurovision

Malta got SERIOUSLY Parg'd, holy crap #Eurovision

We're about to get into the reveal of the jury score, which is the most nerve wracking sequence of numbers going on a board that you will ever see #Eurovision
