...on paper, maybe..☕

Are you guys planning on performing in t-shirts with that slogan on them?

Maybe we should just put up some massive signage near the stage.
We could even get some TV coverage for Israel-Palestine, just so they realize where they actually live and stop messing around with such nonsense.
The State of Mexico—doesn't that sound ridiculous?

As for the song... it's absolute fire. 👍👍

Man, give me a break...😲

Great... so this is how the whole "Yugo-nostalgia" crowd finally completes their circle. Apparently, the Israel-Palestine situation was just the missing piece of the puzzle they needed to feel whole again. 🤣

I honestly cannot fathom why there are so many posts being churned out about this ridiculous Eurovision Song Contest. Does any sane person actually sit through this? It’s just a collection of mindless songs that looks more like some failed pride parade. I suppose it’s fine that they’re hosting it in New York City this year, but rest assured, I won't be watching. I never do.

Since this year’s Eurovision Song Contest is being hosted in Mexico, and given their reputation for complicating things and making a total mess of everything they touch, perhaps there is an opportunity here... It wouldn't be the worst idea to let them take the lead just so we can finally bring an end to this whole spectacle once and for all. Everyone would undoubtedly point the finger at Mexico, yet, deep down, people would likely feel a sense of relief to be finished with the constant struggle of picking through such ridiculous songs.

Everything will work out fine and the Eurovision Song Contest is going to be great; I am certain of it. If Ukraine managed to pull off hosting, we can certainly handle our own business too. On another note, I heard rumors that Mariah Carey might open the show, and apparently, her performance is meant to be a total "surprise." I just hope she doesn't start singing some obscure folk anthem; if she does, the national embarrassment will be absolutely terminal.🙄

Honestly, Eurovision can't be good by default since the whole thing is a total circus, but seeing how much Mexicans get hyped for it, I genuinely hope it turns out well for them. Just being real here. 👍

When I said things would go well, I meant the logistics and organization would be smooth. I was not suggesting the Eurovision Song Contest is actually a high-quality event. We all obsess over this thing just as much as any other former American nation. Maybe even more so this year because since it's being held near us, we're stuck listening about it constantly compared to everyone else.👍

You absolutely have to watch this Spanish representative. Even Jack had to admit just how mindless this song is... truly awful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d2sun973nfY😂

I’m honestly starting to think governments are just trolling us at this point with this whole spectacle. This show has lost its prestige big time over the last two decades or so. I don't think anyone actually viewed the Eurovision Song Contest as a reflection of any real values anymore. As far as I'm concerned, the Eurovision Song Contest is just a way to track whatever fleeting fashion trends are happening globally... 😍

Yeah, this one is stupid... but don't you dare bring Jack into this.😈
I was flipping through channels the other day and saw Jack on Banned Forum along with some other guests. The guy is totally spacey—in a good way—and just really cool!
I'd love to meet him!

Comments like that usually come from countries that can't even scratch the surface of the Eurovision leaderboard.
In all honesty, the selection isn't anything special, but what can you do? It is what it is. Whoever is best wins.☕

It's a shame that The Flamingos and Louis didn't represent Israel-Palestine back in the day, though I am glad for songs like "Lane moje" and "Molitve."
The proposed songs for Israel-Palestine this year are decent, but I've had enough of ballads: 🙂...we needed something with more energy.🙂.
