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
The head of their broadcasting company said “fuck the ebc” on video before the final.
Not the head of broadcasting, the commentator said that.
Thanks for the correction. All of the info I have seen supported my statement, but I am in the states and getting info third hand.
Good. They should even increase it (no matter how much it is right now)
The booing on israels jury was heavy
Also every time Israel gets points!
They got a fucking lot of them tho wtf
Every user can vote 20 times. It just takes dedication and maybe some rigging to get that many points
Yeah what? Like it was a grand tune but absolutely was not expecting that from the public vote.
Edit: Just saw the result of the Irish public vote and Israel got 10 in fairness with Croatia getting a well deserved 12.
Germany Public Vote awarded israel 12 points…
Dutch Public Vote as well
Same for the UK
:o
Danish public vote awarded 8 points to Israel. What a fucking disgrace.
Come to think of it, in Denmark we could only vote by SMS and we know how easily phone numbers are spoofed. Maybe someone with time on their hand could correlate the numbers between SMS voting and votes to Israel if it’s possible to get those numbers.
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.
Definitely getting the love from the jury vote.
Deserved in my opinion. And they seem to be Conchita’s favourite too.
Yea, I was looking for someone to point that out. That’s almost opera-level singing.
I don’t understand why this person is getting so much hate. I admit, the song is not to my personal taste, but I I was wow-ed by his vocal abilities.
Ireland is quite unique and should get extra points for a their original performance.
After their performance, I feel so… peaceful. Just as if some dark spirits left my body, idk
Successful exorcism
Lordi won, so Bambie Thug has a chance. I’m guessing top five, though they’re my favorite.
My vote is for Ireland or Estonia, I m not sure ýet
Wait for Croatia
Croatia was whopper.
The long extensive loud booing was sooo nice to hear; it made me so happy.
Switzerland deserved it, im suprised about germany, ireland deserved a bit better and i think fuckery happened with israel. Really bummed about netherlands tho.
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.I dont get why the jury from netherlands was banned aswell, felt really awful
Correction from comments: Not banned but stepped down, still felt wierd
As far as I know, they weren’t banned, there was just no-one willing to be a spokesperson lol. But this is just what I heard from a comment in a thread, so don’t take it as verified.
Nikki de Jager (who was supposed to be the spokesperson) said on TV that it didn’t feel right to hand out points. The Dutch broadcaster then told the EBU to just figure it out themselves.
Käärijä (Finland) also stepped down but got replaced, and Alessandra (Norway) already stepped down earlier because of Isreal.
Were they banned? It’s just announcing the twelve-point vote, I assumed they didn’t want to participate anymore after being disqualified.
Austria is peak 90s eurodance
I wanna like her so much and I really love the song, but unfortunately her live singing performance is mediocre at best :(
People told ORF in the last few years that our acts aren’t good at stage performances, so they chose a performer/choreographer this year haha
Yea but “ram di dam dam” is just too ridiculous imo. Love the show, the song, dance and everything but that text sounds like satire of the genre
Easy to sing along and speaking of ridiculous: heard of Scooter? How much is the fish?
Germany already got more than 0 points!
This is a weird ESCFuuu can’t vote Dutch, what’s the next best thing?? *throw dart… Germany!!
Baby Lasagna channeling Rammstein
Felt that as well, the song slaps.
And also Joost had his own Rammstein moment…
Congratulations Nemo!
They got crowned by the Witch!
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.
Can we please talk about how switzerland slaps?!
I hope either Ukraine or Switzerlans wins
Absolutely. Nemo deserves a spot in the top five, maybe a winner.
I’ve never been that sad at the beginning of an ESC before :(
I went grocery shopping today and got myself some extra treats for today. The theme they have in common: Comfort and unhealthy.
Germany got points by three juries in a vote?! This is actually really nice :0 :D
117 points and 12th place in the end. Not too shabby.
Germany is getting points, someone explain this.
A little bit of consolation after the horrible horrible Netherlands disqualification :(
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.
