Lets say eurovision continues with like 5 countries participating; they’re willing to burn down the house before giving into popular demand. Is there an alternative?

Be funny if Israel were the only ones performing, and the only people cheering in the audience were zionist IDF terrorists because all the decent people wanted nothing to do with it all.

I don’t understand why the countries who object to genocide don’t organise their own counter song festival. Let’s see which one gets bigger.

To be fair, they’re maybe too established now but they’re quite a good example of modern British music these days. Beyond the Dua Lipas and Charlie XCXs of the UK, we’ve got a lot of great rock bands.
