I think it makes sense to have a general discussion thread to build this community and for you to be able to interact more with each other and talk about stuff.

You can write about all kinds of Eurovision related things here: What are your current favorite songs? Which one grew on or off you recently? What are your staging suggestions? What are your rankings? What are your predictions?
Have fun talking about the songs :D

There are talks that Israel is very likely to win

I am telling you guys... if they do, the Eurovision can no longer say it is not political

I won't watch the show this year, partly because of Israel and partly because of how Finland was replaced with Sweden last year.

If they do (I doubt it but they'll do very well) then Eurovision will have to decide whether they can host the competition in a country that has repeatedly broken the international rule of law, shut down press outlets it doesn't like, illegally occupied land from a neighbouring country, and is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of children.

EBU: We are not a political organisation the rules are the rules and we have to continue no matter what.

Probably....

The leaked votes from Italy shows that Israel got 40% of the audience votes. So while jury is absolutely bullshit, the issue is that the audience is also very much political.
