Eurovision delights me, culture fascinates me and my happy place is a KEiiNO concert. My rare non-Eurovision thoughts are at @joannamuses

Any other year I would have considered this to embarrass Eurovision too much but the contest is in such disrepute we may as well have some fun and go full absurdity

It’s September 3 and we’ve already got stuff to add to the 2025 iceberg…

Well, its Eurovision new years eve and that was not year we were hoping for when it started. Lots about it was painful and disappointing but I'm still hopeful for what Eurovision yet can be.

I don't have much optimism about the EBU. Bureaucracies are gonna do what they do. I do have great belief that good artists are going to bring truth, joy and beauty to this contest once again and that the fandom can heal from the damage done this year.

Here's to 2025 being a year of low stakes controversies and a source of excitement not dread

I don’t doubt that Basel is a place where people feel safe and belong. The thing in doubt is whether the EBU can create a Eurovision where people feel safe and belong
📣 “A city that lives music and creativity…a city that breaks codes and where all people can feel safe and belong.” 🇨🇭 Basel will host Eurovision 2025. ✍️ @willyleeadams wiwibloggs.com/2024/08/30/ba…

I’m just excited to find out Eurovision is not Mother’s Day weekend next year which has caused tension with my family most years

Also you guys have to remember that he's autistic, this quite sudden spotlight on him must be incredibly overwhelming. Every thing he says or posts is analysed so much, some of you see him as a form of entertainment, not a real human with real trauma

Which other male artist of Cypriot origin living in Sydney do we know?

It would appear that few actually paid attention to what Who The Hell Is Edgar had to say about the challenges songwriters have making a living income. Songwriters need to get their songs out there rather than hold out for the ethically flawless place for them

After how some of the fandom has behaved towards artists this year we've forfeited the right to ever complain about the quality of artists willing to do Eurovision. If we want good new artists, we have to treat the artists we already have well.

It’s not just getting good artists but good countries too. If we want the EBU to take action on problematic delegations, they’ll be much more hesitant to do it if they’re not confident other countries will stick around

The current widespread attitude of "letting the contest burn" (while spending the whole day on Twitter bitching endlessly about it and/or harassing people like Teya etc.) isn't solving anything other than boosting the ego of some very terminally online people. #eurovision

Breaking my Holy Rule of "not talking ESC between June and September" to say this: The fandom needs to do some SERIOUS soul-searching and figure out how to tone down the toxicity and vitriol against artists, songwriters and people who simply care for the contest. #eurovision

This year was a difficult, confusing year to be a Eurovision artist. They are going to have complex feelings about and conflicting recollections of what they experienced in the chaos. The job they signed up to do finished at the end of the grand final, let’s leave them alone

I still don't even really know what to say about my experience of Eurovision this year and I was just a fan following along from home. It's a million times more complicated and fraught a question for the artists at the centre of it all

Playing it a bunch on YouTube so Eurovision keeps having to put it in their most played videos of the month recaps is also an option
It strikes me that the best way to show our contempt for this whole sorry affair is to get Europapa to number one in the ESC250 this year…

Of all the years to launch a line pitching Eurovision as professional, this one is A CHOICE
