#PaysBas 🇳🇱 La ministre de l’Éducation, de la Culture et des Sciences, Rianne Letschert, a confirmé que la NPO ne peut contraindre une chaîne néerlandaise à prendre en charge la participation du pays à l’#Eurovision, la loi sur les médias attribuant la responsabilité éditoriale aux diffuseurs. Après avoir consulté les diffuseurs, la NPO a constaté qu’aucun ne souhaitait assumer cette responsabilité et a renoncé, le 27 octobre dernier, à envoyer un artiste néerlandais à Burgas, une décision sans conséquences financières pour la NPO. La compétition européenne sera toutefois diffusé par la NOS, qui retransmettra les demi-finales et la finale avec des commentaires en néerlandais. #ESC2027 I @PubliekeOmroep I #Netherlands

Our first wish this Christmas would have been for Bonnie to be here to present this new song to you herself. 'Love, Light and Peace' is the last song Bonnie ever recorded. It's coming out on 13th November. Recorded last winter, written by Chrissie Hammond and Terry Britten and produced by Britten and David Mackay, it ends with Bonnie's ad-libbed farewell: 'To all, goodnight.'

this is CRAZY

Ok, let's try one. In 2008, the Serbians couldn't think of a suitable male host next to Jovana Janković. During a dinner with the production team I casually floated Željko Joksimović. They had to get used to the idea, but went for it. The two ended up marrying and got 3 kids.

Imagine I would start replying to this one 😅
What Eurovision information that is unknown to the broader public do you know? I'm talking songs that were submitted to NFs but didn't make the final lineup, artists that progressed far in internal selections, etc. Spill your tea!

This is even more fucked up. It took hearsay and a potential misunderstanding to disqualify Joost basically immediately, while KAN has broken every single rule in the code of conduct and all they’ve received is couple of strongly worded letters. Where’s any justice in that?!
I don't understand why the EBU doesn't see that kicking Israel out is the simplest solution to all of their problems. They're hiding behind a "It's a democratic process and there's no support among the broadcasters" excuse. It didn't take democracy to disqualify us, did it?

📡 36 broadcasters will compete in the #Eurovision Song Contest 2027 in Burgas. Canada debuts, North Macedonia returns and Czechia withdraws. Boycotters Iceland, Ireland and Netherlands won't return. Slovenia and Spain have until December to decide.

Gelukt! Nederland doet níét mee aan het Songfestival 2027! Een maand na de aankondiging dat Nederland toch zou deelnemen, draait de NPO dat besluit terug: “onvoldoende draagvlak”. 44.690 mensen tekenden onze petitie. Dank aan iedereen die van zich liet horen 💪

United By Music meant something in 2023. It felt real. It felt like it had substance. Now it has neither meaning nor substance. The EBU have let Israel manipulate #Eurovision to a point where it is now a shadow of what it once was.

I had my fair share of rants about Jon Ola Sand during his time, but my god do I miss him now. Martin Green needs to get fired asap.

I swear I think the EBU thought the boycotting countries would HURT in some way due to their lack of participation but nope! The EBU is shocked to discover human rights are still important, a whole year later!!
