Israel reminding us what Eurovision's really about. Absolute mess.

I really dislike the overuse of strobe effects tonight. Even for me it’s a bit much.

As I mentioned near the start tonight when there was the first warning to viewers, I am surprised they use them so much to a large TV audience that could be affected.

I’ve noticed that the BBC now put a filter over strobe effects from old TOTP performances from the 80s and 90s which dims the picture, so they’re more strict on it now (with recorded programmes)

Is this what years of conflict with the Palestinians do to a person?

I doubt she’ll win Jeremy Corbyn’s vote.

#ISR Now for Israel's novelty song. Never mind Barbie, Wonder Woman or Pikachu, this garbage didn't belong in the final. This is one I definitely didn't want to qualify Tuesday evening. Armenia or Greece deserved the place this garbage took that night. I pray to the Almighty God that this doesn't win! #AllAboard

I'm sure I've read on here before that we're one of the only countries with strobe effects warnings on TV (as well as a low threshold to instigate such a warning).

Couldn't agree more. I've only caught 3 performances and 2 of them I had to turn away from the TV it was unwatchable. Maybe the room is too dark but it was quite poor. A case of using them because they can.

The question is will Israeli Dale Winton be back tonight now the broadcaster has changed?

It would be terrible to lose two Dale Wintons in one year.

#NED A rock-country song I felt borderline about qualifying Thursday evening. Although I'm not overly keen on this, it's 1000 times better than the garbage from Slovenia, Hungary and Israel. Good luch The Netherlands. #AllAboard
