Hei Israel, mitä kuuluu? #Eurovision 🇫🇮

Inför ESC on SVT was brutal. It was Christer’s 5 celeb friends coming over to roast ESC entries together. 🇸🇪

Thank you so much for your birthday wishes. I had a chill day with some good snacks and I found out that I’ve basically recovered from the health issues that I had in summer/fall. Thank you once again. 🙏❤️

And re: MGP - in the radio duel where one entry is selected as a wildcard, Emmy (🇮🇪 2025) is one of the participants. #Eurovision 🇳🇴

🇩🇰 6th with the bookies btw, don’t remember them being this high since… Rasmussen? Basim? Or Emmelie? #Eurovision

Thank you so much for all your birthday wishes so far. Love you all ❤️🫶

But it’s not certain that Rybak will end up winning MGP. He has some baggage. Erika Norwich (who did My AI in 2024) made a TikTok about how he kissed her on the lips back in 2009 when she was 9-10 and how she found it very weird afterwards… #NRKmgp #Eurovision 🇳🇴

Congratulations and happy birthday!

Nice way to celebrate my birthday with my final checkup at the hospital and being told that I’ve basically recovered. 🎂🎊🎉

“Go shorty it’s ma birthday” 🎂🎈

Listening to Rybak’s album, the one with that horrible Lindy Hop song. Some of the lyrics Jesus Christ… 💀☠️ Bro needs therapy asap. There’s one song tho, “Rise” and if it’s the MGP entry, he could totally win again in 🇳🇴 and do better in ESC than THYWAS…

Moikka! 🇫🇮

What's the matter? They've run out of shekels already?!

Mi amore, mi amore…

🇩🇰 7th with the bookies. This is wild. No pressure DR… #Eurovision

Ämen tjena! 🇸🇪 Det var längesen… ❤️

Italians used to think Trump was the new Berlusconi. They now think he’s the new Mussolini instead.

Co to jest? This for real or BS? Szpak to get a wildcard for the Polish NF? #Eurovision 🇵🇱 www.pudelek.pl/tylko-na-pud...

Ylvis withdrew from MGP in December, due to 🇮🇱 being in ESC. #Eurovision 🇳🇴

This Eurovision On Tour is looking like the next money laundering scheme. Ticketmaster released a venue map for the Copenhagen gig, with the ticket prices being between €93 and €206.

What in the Lidl Sarah Bonnici is this?! To go from “Call My Name” to this… how the mighty have fallen. #Eurovision 🇩🇪

Oops… 🙊

But why would the Dutch invest into this gig when they already have Het Grote tho? Also - Sportpaleis in Antwerp, Royal Arena in Cph, O2 in London and arenas in Paris and Milan? Delulu… #Eurovision

Interesting how in 2006, two of 🇸🇪 most prolific artists got their big break as child stars. Molly Sandén finished 3rd in jESC and Benjamin Ingrosso won Lilla Melodifestivalen and competed in MGP Nordic. Both of them are now getting their flowers both commercially and critically.

Greczula is pulling ahead a bit as the Melfest favourite. The journos are describing his song as ABBA meets Queen.

Nick “your body my choice” Fuentes going red pill zionist and paedo apologist? Fork found in kitchen…

This SVT documentary series with Petra Mede and two renowned architects is a bit naff, but still quite entertaining and I like the editing and the Back To The Future references.

Olympics in Milan are on soon. I remember the campaign when it was between them and Stockholm/Åre/Sigulda in the end and then Milan got it because Italians were more in favour of hosting the games than the Swedes. But hosting the games is a vanity project these days, so no big loss for Sweden there.

🇬🇧 New Wave band A Flock Of Seagulls with their mainstream peak being between 1981 and 1984 They look like they’re gonna be criminally underrated in UMK 🇫🇮or Eesti Laul 🇪🇪 on this pic…

RTBF is dragging their announcements for way longer than usual. They usually announce their artists in late summer and fall at the latest. Still nothing so far and it’s January. Did Loïc get cold feet and quit behind the scenes or is he still on it? #Eurovision 🇧🇪

One more 🇳🇴 fan journo claiming on Facebook that Rybak is in MGP. Along with Bettan (SWE 82, NOR 85, 94, 96), Emma (Marcus & Martinus’ younger sister), Lavrans (who withdrew last minute last year), Skrellex (2023), Gothminister (2024) and some other fan favs… #Eurovision

Putting my article out there again in light of this post. Go and read if you like 👇🏼 #Eurovision

like, who are they gaslighting lmao

The Israel controversy isn't mentioned in Conchita's statement. Even so, it's notable that when Eurovision is in Austria, an Austrian winner has chosen not to be there. I'm taking this as a sign that Eurovision is continuing to sleepwalk into a crisis in Vienna.

The way things are going, we're gonna have the remaining boomer winners from the 60s and 70s in the show program instead of anyone recent.

Well done EBU. You've managed to alienate one of the most iconic winners from the contest. Was the Israeli bribe money worth it?

Americans will have to pull a Ceausescu on both Trump and Melania, to be followed by the whole admin going to jail along with Elmo Nusk. It’s the only way. No protests or legislative actions will help now.

Need to replace my right AirPod. It’s gone haywire, making weird buzzing and static noise it’s causing me headache. I have spare JBL wireless earbuds, but it’s been so long I don’t even know where they are. So wired headphones will do for now. Is it worth investing in AirPods Max btw?

The level of excitement for ESC 2026 right now…

The likes. I’m shook. But it needed to be said. 🤷‍♀️ #Eurovision

Did Roland Weißmann receive the EBU Peace Price during the draw?

Seeing this without us still feels both weird and sad tbh. Us, 🇳🇱🇮🇪🇮🇸 and 🇪🇸 deserved better. #Eurovision

Love to see the resurgence of physical media, especially CDs and DVDs. The quality is great, you can play a CD in an older car stereo and it’s yours forever, without a worry of a streaming service deleting it for licensing reasons.

So much gaslighting and DARVO tactics in this piece it’s insane. She’s literally accusing the boycotting countries of ruining the spirit of ESC instead of looking closely to what her country is doing. This smells like a paid puff piece. Pathetic. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

I ain’t reading all that. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸

Absolutely wild that David Hasselhoff has a career as a schlager artist in 🇩🇪 and that it’s spread across multiple albums for several decades even.

This book cover. The Danes surely love their Swedes. But putting Carola and Perrelli over Loreen was surely a choice.

Wild how it’s been 10 years since this fever dream happened. Anna Book-gate in Melfest 2016. But it was no other way out, she literally got the same song as the one from 🇲🇩 NF in 2014, only with the Swedish lyrics.
