Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/, the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

Highlights from the Dutch broadcast (paraphrased):

  • "The EBU reminded us that we're contractually obligated to do this broadcast."
  • "Instead of the Netherlands we skip to Isreal, good thing they are completely uncontroversial."
  • "Everyone makes mistakes, the EBU also knows a lot about that."

I see, they dont fuck around, as they should

[–] [email protected] 11 points 5 months ago (2 children)

The head of their broadcasting company said “fuck the ebc” on video before the final.

Good. They should even increase it (no matter how much it is right now)

The booing on israels jury was heavy

[–] cosmicrookie 23 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Also every time Israel gets points!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago (7 children)

They got a fucking lot of them tho wtf

[–] cosmicrookie 8 points 5 months ago

Every user can vote 20 times. It just takes dedication and maybe some rigging to get that many points

Switzerland is just really great. How he’s able to sing while leaning backwards and spinning on the disk, it’s insane. And additionally to that, it’s the hardest song of the year (I’d even say by quite some margin). His singing talent is insane and I love the song itself as well. It’s just beautiful.

[–] Rolando 6 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Definitely getting the love from the jury vote.

Ireland is quite unique and should get extra points for a their original performance.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 5 months ago (1 children)

After their performance, I feel so... peaceful. Just as if some dark spirits left my body, idk

[–] [email protected] 10 points 5 months ago

Successful exorcism

[–] Rolando 8 points 5 months ago

Lordi won, so Bambie Thug has a chance. I'm guessing top five, though they're my favorite.

The long extensive loud booing was sooo nice to hear; it made me so happy.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Switzerland deserved it, im suprised about germany, ireland deserved a bit better and i think fuckery happened with israel. Really bummed about netherlands tho.

[–] Korne127 13 points 5 months ago (4 children)

If Netherland wouldn't have happened, this would have been such a great ESC. But yeah… they just needed to fuck it all up.
Honestly, while I'm happy about Switzerland (and Germany tbh), I'm just… still feeling awful, because I feel so sorry for Joost, as this was so important and emotional to him with his parents. I really despise Österdahl and the EBU right now for taking that from him.

Austria is peak 90s eurodance

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago (1 children)

I wanna like her so much and I really love the song, but unfortunately her live singing performance is mediocre at best :(

They got crowned by the Witch!

[–] khannie 12 points 5 months ago

I saw that. It was very cute and he took the crown on stage with him. Lovely stuff. They seemed to have a genuine bond.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 months ago (2 children)

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

I hope either Ukraine or Switzerlans wins

Germany already got more than 0 points!
This is a weird ESC

I’ve never been that sad at the beginning of an ESC before :(

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

I went grocery shopping today and got myself some extra treats for today. The theme they have in common: Comfort and unhealthy.

[–] Korne127 10 points 5 months ago

I wonder how the voting would have been different with Europapa. I think Croatia would have considerably less televoting as many people switched from Netherlands to Croatia (a post suggesting to do that on Reddit literally has 10 000 upvotes). But otherwise, I don't really know what would have been different.
I'm still really heartbroken for Joost and I definitely hope that this all will be resolved with strong consequences for the EBU.

[–] Korne127 10 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Germany got points by three juries in a vote?! This is actually really nice :0 :D

Germany is getting points, someone explain this.

[–] Korne127 9 points 5 months ago

A little bit of consolation after the horrible horrible Netherlands disqualification :(

[–] [email protected] 9 points 5 months ago

Armenia has a much better performanca than in the semi

[–] cosmicrookie 9 points 5 months ago* (last edited 5 months ago) (1 children)

The final running order has 26 entries although i am sure i read that it would be 25 after the NL disqualification.

I dont see NL on the list though. How can it be 26 without NL?

Edit: nr 5 is removed but not replaced.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

They didn't change the numbers of the contestants. I guess for technical reasons and to keep confusion small, after the numbers were already announced.

[–] Korne127 8 points 5 months ago

Yayyyy Switzerland gets so many jury votes, my last call was that he'd be the jury winner and so far it looks good :D
And as he's my favourite tonight, this actually makes me really happy right now :D :D :D I'm crossing my fingers for him :D

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 months ago

Hello and good evening.

Did anyone catch what the Ukrainian artists shouted at the end?

Could have done without AIBBA and I'm underwhelmed by Loreen.

My tier list:

Top

  • Ireland. Bambie Thug is a legit talent beyond this competition. I look forward to what they do after this.
  • Spain. A classic. Top five, possible winner.
  • Switzerland. Fun mix of genres, great performance.
  • United Kingdom. The song grew on me, and the staging is still amazing.
  • Croatia. Energetic, though there are a couple better performances in this competition.
  • Greece. Sounds like Mediterranean reggaeton in the best way. Is it my imagination, or was the camera work better during the semis?
  • Netherlands. It wasn't the very best, but it was a first-tier Eurovision song.
  • Estonia. Lots of fun.
  • Norway. Great song, great staging.
  • Armenia. Fun song, energetic performance.

Mid

  • Lithuania. Upper mid tier. Decent dance song, great performance. I like the outfits too.
  • Luxembourg. Upper mid tier. Solid song, decent staging
  • Sweden. I like it better the second time around, at the top of the mid tier.
  • Finland. They're trying something fun, at least
  • Ukraine. Another song that grew on me, but still mid-tier.
  • Serbia. A very good, though not outstanding, song.
  • Italy. Nice beat, awesome graphics, bland song and dancing.

Lowest

  • Austria. Nice boots she's wearing though.
  • Portugal. Nice masks on the dancers though
  • Cyprus. Unimaginative.
  • Slovenia. Ok song, but there's a lot of competition.
  • Israel. Everything else aside, it isn't that great of a performance.
  • Germany. ISAAK is giving it 100% but it isn't that great a song, and the staging is bland.
  • Georgia. This is fine.
  • France. He has a great voice, though.

I'm slightly offended (and very amused) that your bottom tier is called Germany.
I mean it's true, but don't kick us when we're down

Edit: Please change it back! It was the perfect Freudian typo
