Nederland doet ook niet mee aan Songfestival als Israël deelneemt

AVROTROS kan de deelname van Israël in de huidige situatie niet langer verantwoorden gezien het voortdurende en ernstige menselijke leed in Gaza.

Makes absolutely no sense. Baffled by this decision. Hope they get to do one final Little Gold Men to say goodbye and then join Katey at Ankler asap for an honest conversation
Vanity Fair giving Richard Lawson, David Canfield, and Anthony Breznican the boot is madness. Pretty much guarantees I won't be reading anymore.

Een mooi en wat langer gesprek met een van m’n Songfestival helden over zijn werk? Daar ben ik heul trots op!
Wij zaten in de studio met Cornald Maas voor een exclusief langer gesprek. Want hoe lang is hij bezig met de voorbereiding voor zijn #songfestival commentaar? En hoe ziet hij zijn rol als commentator richting de kijker? Oh ja, ook nog briljante anekdotes! 😂

BREAKING 🚨: There will be NO qualifiers press conferences after Eurovision semi finals this year. Sources tell me: there will be a substitute online stream for qualifying artists to draw their spot in the final + a 3 questions "post-football-match" style interview will be done."

While everyone has been watching to see if TikTok returns to Eurovision as an official sponsor this year (prev years announced at 24MAR/4APR), I think this sure is an interesting follow. 👀

So this article doesn’t name any artist. Which makes it all the more dangerous cos it can lead to speculation. Why only name the examples this writer deems “genuine”? If you’re gonna be this bold, have the balls to actually name the artist you wish to accuse.

Queerbaiting at Eurovision: Are We Being Played?
As Eurovision 2025 approaches, the glitter-strewn path to Basel reveals an increasingly complex relationship between what the popular press insists on calling Europe's campest contest and the LGBTQ+ community it has long embraced. But in an era where rainbow capitalism infiltrates everything from corporate logos to music videos, we must ask: are Eurovision acts genuinely representing queer identities, or merely donning them for competitive advantage?
