A reminder that Martin Green is not the rule maker, just the messenger boy. And as statements go, it was pretty light on tone. Essentially "we're aware and had a word" as opposed to "we strongly condemn...".
Going by the thumbnail I was expecting them both to dislike it, but they actually rather enjoyed it. So that's alright then. ๐
๐ฌ๐ง "Eins, Zwei, Drei" has debuted at no. 20 on the @officialcharts.bsky.social Trending Chart.

Looking forward to watching them! ๐
Are they for real? They've made us wait all this time even though the song was already out (allegedly)?๐ญ๐ญ
Agree on the first point. Definitely not on the second! ๐
๐ฉ๐ช is bland & basic, so yeah, meh. ๐จ๐ต feels formulaic but it's still a powerful song. Will do well but won't get that win they so crave. ๐ฎ๐น I find so wholesome & charming! ๐ฌ๐ง can see why some don't like it - it's utter marmite!
๐ฒ๐ฉ This will get the arena going, and it's very easy to pick up and get swept away in it all. At first I thought this is sure to pick up a sizable televote, but a couple of months on I do wonder how the rest of Europe will react to what is essentially a stroke of the national ego. Still great though.
๐ฆ๐ฟ The song's nice enough; I don't mind it at all. But it's going to really struggle to get out of the SF. Reminds me of Moldova's entry from 2019 actually.
LOOK MUM NO COMPUTER in a yellow overall eats a Jam Roly Poly while also holding a mug of custard.
The BBC couldn't afford a catering budget, so he had to eat the food from the music video - digestive and beans included
I don't think any of us did tbh ๐
๐ฌ๐ท Akylas is releasing his music video on, you guessed it, Wednesday.
Basically nothing happened. Click Through Rate is pretty much the same as usual.
Linda and Pete said something similar and absolutely nothing happened, so it'll probably be the same here.
๐ฒ๐ฉ SATOSHI has released the revamp of "Viva Moldova!"

The BBC Eurovision webpage has had a facelift, of sorts.
@escgabe.com described Ramsgate as "really, really, really out of the way." My initial reaction was to object to my area being rubbished like that, but tbf it does take like 20 mins just to get out of Thanet.
Just seen this morning that one of my old school mates is standing as a Conservative for the Kent County Council election. Better than the two who got shut up in prison, I guess.
Cyril and Rosalind getting married. Sister Veronica makes up her mind. Sister Monica Joan passes. A cameo by Sister Evangelina. The maternity home closes. Nonnatus House ceases midwifery. The dawn of ultrasound.
One of the most monumental episodes of #CallTheMidwife.
I sent you a message
Not me (i was only 5 in 2002) but as soon as the chorus came on i remembered that bit. ๐
Someone needs to pour a bucket of cold water ๐ฆ over ๐ฆ๐ฒ Armenia to wake them up. ๐คฃ

In the run up to #Eurovision 2025, you may recall a campaign to drastically cut the licence fee which funds the Swiss broadcaster was rumbling away in the background. A referendum has been held on the matter and it's projected the 'No' side won 62% of the votes.

If a complaint is made and the EBU uphold it, at most they will probably just send the delegations a private memo or something. Very much doubt they'll come out publicly all guns blazing. As you say, would just do more harm than good.
We made it. The end of NF season.

They were short, and presumably one-off, statements expressing a personal opinion. They're all still going to Eurovision and getting on with the job at hand.
Euromix are reporting Kan are going to make a formal complaint. Interestingly neither Yle nor EBU said a thing after Linda & Pete's statement. I support the idea of keeping Eurovision a space where political debates are minimised as much as reasonably possible, but I see no issue here.
Yeah it's a nice song but doesn't really go anywhere, nor have a discernible hook. Hope they try again with something stronger.
I know, right! You watch one video and they're having a reactionary orgasm, but in the next they think it's terrible and destine it for the bottom 5 ๐ญ
๐ฒ๐ช Preferred the original, but changes are minimal and I'll get used to it soon enough. I love the sisterhood vibe they have in the performance. This song absolutely slaps and if it doesn't get Montenegro back into the final for the first time in over a decade I will not be a happy bunny.
