Israel got knocked out in thursdays semi-final with their song "poosh da buhtone, poosh da buhtone"
(think it was supposed to have been something like "push the button")

Yeah they all got the chance, but italy celebrate 10 years today, they have not competed since 1997 be it good or bad
Edit : and the others you mentioned got voted out in semi-finals

Ah, didn't even realise there were semi-finals tbh
Why oh why is Ukraine doing so well, if this is anywhere near serious - i.e. people actually like the music they're voting for and it's not really political then the whole of Europe needs to be destroyed
Ukraine song was probably the worst song I've ever heard in my entire life
The voting does seem very odd - a lot of it is blatantly political (Belarus/Russian love etc.) but at the same time I'm not sure why Israel votes for Belarus because I was under the impression they weren't particularly strongly tied politically. Is say, our taste in music in the UK really so much different to the rest of Europe
? I just can't believe anyone on this planet would think like the Ukraine song was worth voting for
