Maybe entertaining to watch, but gives completely different precident to the show that other counties have. If you’re taking something as a joke, you shouldn’t be surprised you come in last. That being said: Fuck EBU. From disqualifiying the Netherlands last year to keeping double standards all across the board. It’s not about songs or nationalities any more. It’s only about money.
