Picked because he's a rainbow cultist.
Lol it's Eurovision. Stop being a snowflake.
Cry all you want. You can’t even cheer on a uk pick for Eurovision yet you cal your self a patriot…… snowflake
Cry cry cry
Eurovision so woke it's a joke,what a waste of money.

Come on Israel. As for United Kingdom’s abysmal entry what on earth is that all about?
Some little pipsqueak who is way too light on his loafers, showing the UK up.
Rubbing our noses in it.
Really Zionist , Israel? Th UK project since 1948 in Palestine, now the US outpost in the middle East, Double standards as always, They aren't in Europe fgs Russia gets banned for a war the US NATO UK cabal started, but Israel committing unprecedented genocide, holocaust in Gaza Palestine, is OK.? They have no right to be there, and should be banned.
Nobody is going to be brave enough to give them points lol. It's all a shitshow.
Why did the British choose him? It shows how far British values have fallen
Values and standards...
The British did not choose him. The BBC did. Any connection between the BBC and the British is tenuous at best.
Just for his good looks. It's a tradition in the entertainment industry. Who defines good looks is who owns the couch - it's just not Harvey Weinstein any more.
You should see Ireland's entry🫣
they didn't the bbc put them in.
Olly Alexander can not even sing ,he was picked for one reason only.
Two. 1). He is outrageously gay. 2). He is outrageously anti- British.
Another grotesque display of degeneracy.
I think he got in by the back door
@@paulwarren4256 These days so many manage to get in that way .
From It's A Sin he likes it that way 😂😂@@paulwarren4256
Remember the good old days when we actually had brilliant singers representing the UK, who where proud to be BRITISH. What the hell happened, our entry was absolutely awful and was picked to solely tick a box. The box may have may been ticked but my goodness where was the talent.
Isn't the BBC in charge of things? If so, that will probably go some ways to offering some kind of explanation. It would be nice if we were actually represented by a proper man as well. And not that!
Cliff Richard was Indian. Olivia Newton John Australian. Lynsey De Paul a Dutch Jew.
@stephenfoxwell. So what?
@@johnkitching2248 Because he said we should be ashamed of our flag, our heritage and our history.
So not always British. Mary Hopkin and Clodagh Rodgers were Irish.
We are scraping the barrel picking these people to represent our country. He doesn't even respect our flag.
He did...by wearing it as a bra. Which tells you everything you need to know about him and the BBC.
He does and proves it by wearing a Union Jack bra, even though he has no knockers in it 🤣🤣🤣
They're all puppets on a string.
Nice one, Sandie would be pleased we remembered her.
Yes you are a puppet Anthony. Rest of us normals are free
Great answer antonyferris8912....Sandie Shaw 1967🎉🎉🎉
@@jacquelinekilgour7725if you aren’t on puppet strings. Please tell me what woke means and stands for? Explain which group take part in a woke meaning\group? And Where did this term originate from? I.e where was it first used?
@@Toodyslexicforyou I don't answer stupid questions !
Ireland should have "my lovely horse" as an entry!😂😂
Love Father Ted 😂
Down with this sort of thing! Careful now!
My lovely horse is better than the UK and Ireland's efforts this year.
I'd vote for it
It will never be topped
I am neutral but WILL be voting for Isreal and i have never voted before!
I'll be voting to get rid of the fucking shit show of a program
The contest should be re named the LG BT XY AN gay song contest
lol mate your right😂😂
This years entry was like an act from a sleazy backstreet dingy club in Brighton or soho (which DOES NOT represent our country- only homosexuals)
A gay man in show business? Who'd have thought?
@@JonnyWard-kg4vu Gay is fine, but not when there's no talent. Nobody gave a shit about Elton John being gay because he was a real talent. It wasn't his selling point.
@@kevinb9830 it's just not your thing. It's not mine either to be honest. It's just pop though. It's not meant to be high art.
Chill man it’s a song contest. Not a diplomatic world stage event. Litterly for fun. What gay by definition means anyways fun. Like get a life your SNOWFLAKE 😂😂
@@JonnyWard-kg4vu there’s nothing wrong with being gay at all- i absolutely love Elton John, loved Freddie Mercury and liked some years and years songs… but there needs to be more to the act other than being all gay
I stopped watching Eurovision years ago, i'ts nothing about the songs and everything to do with politics.
It was a freak show and national embarrassment. We are a global laughing stock.
It’s Eurovision…… it’s for fun……. We’ve been a global laughing stock for idk ever since we lost to Egypt in 1956… Egypt soding Egypt
Oddly though, history has proved us right on that issue. Not so many are laughing now. Our only fault was in backing down to Eisenhower. Now that was a disgrace!
@@MrPercy112 How where we proven right within the Suez crisis???? When was Britain’s colonialist pursuit of control over the Suez Canal firmly located within and legally was nationalised by the Egyptians a good thing, a legal thing, a moral thing. Unless your saying you belive in empire, pillage and r*pe.
Someone once said ‘everything woke turns to sh*’….they were right.
You may not like this because a lot of people won't. That quote was made by Donald J Trump. And that's why we like Donald, straight to the point and no bullshit.🤣🤣
@@patrickhosking613 yes, I knew who it was….i suspected many more people would agree with it if they didn’t know who said it….thats why I left his name out.

@@brendamuirhead483 I suspect people who agree with that are already okay with Trump. Like me.
@@brendamuirhead483 trust me to open my big mouth.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
A perfect example of why you pick talent not color or gender confusion. Glad I can't see it. The BBC must go.
"Russia invaded its neighbour" so did Israel. Israel invaded its neighbour, Gaza. Israel reacted to the Hamas attack. Russia reacted to 8 years of the Donbass ethnic Russians being shelled. pretty comparable, really.
Will there be protests when Israel takes part in the Olympics in Paris or the World Cup qualifiers?
Hopefully ✊
Only by the ill-informed, and partisan ‘others’ - including terrorists et alia.
It certainly is ,where this world is heading for goodness knows ,these so called stars bring nothing to the table ,
If you want to know what western society will be in near future watch eurovision
haven't watched for over a decade or more
Well this western society collapse was meant to happen 300years ago…. I’m still waiting….. like ngl socitel isn’t going to fall as instead of shirtless women is shirtless men dancing 😂😂😂. Uncles you really are that snowflakely
In the words of Monty Python. "Voici le pouffe celebre".
😂
Good old Greta,s mask has slipped
I think he got in by the back door
😂😂😂
More like a pride parade!!!!!
Eurovision has been political for as long as I can remember,😂😂😂 and I'm 62
@animalian01: I’m older still, and can testify to your truth. Although, I’d add another word or two, to ‘political’.
Nothing more European than Eurovision
... and for all the wrong reasons.
@@MrPercy112 because in Europe we see there achievement not there gender…… that a bad thing now…… yikes no wonder your wife left you…..
It is just a freak show, but a good indication of our regressive times. It’s not going to end well for any of them.
Hope he comes last
There was nearly a punch up in my pub the other night, one man accused another man of watching Eurovision.
Re: being gay. Jimmy Tarbuck said yrs ago 'One day they'll make it compulsory.'
Just like the new Dr Who, made for people who don't think what the vast majority think.
I Don't have a television.I don't have a TV licence .Therfore I don't look at woke garbage.
He would turn a gay man straight 😮
First time ever I hope we come last, our entry is awful.
I thought it was supposed to be about music not prancing pricks
How unpatriotic of you. Get out of Britain if you dont like it
Just cancel the whole thing ffs.
Why? Because you don't like it?
God forbid freedom of speech
@@Toodyslexicforyou Nothing against Eurovision and having a talented LGBT individual but now, they seem to be doing it on purposes just to tick boxes.
@@rosiesubz5204 I am sorry but 2 out of 52 counties having a lgbt+ singer is not representative of how many lgbt people exist
The UK entry is shameful
We used to have a good social evening watching the Eurovision thing. We haven't watched it for years now, it's a sign of what the world is today. Sad.
Israel coming top in the public UK vote and him getting ZERO was just brilliant and shows how the majority feel about both the hate marches and the woke. Israel came 2nd in the public vote through Europe too!
The Olly won't win Croatia, or Israel will win Eurovision.
Mate, you know most people in Europe absolutely hate Israel, right?
Representing this once great country 😂😂😂😂😂
Just one large freak show. It's about who can out freak the other.
When you been at work or getting on with your normal life at the end of the day you want to kick off your shoes, relax & watch some light entertainment you don't want woke, virtue signalling rammed down your throat.
I don't know, perhaps you need to get with it 🤣🤣🤣
@@garethbuckeridge6910 They have a point though. Everything seems to be so political these days and has to always include a message.
@@rosiesubz5204 Apologies but I was being sarcastic and actually agreeing with ancietman.
@@rosiesubz5204 then don’t watch political content….. nothing changed only you’ve got tired of it in your infinite wisdom have failed to change channel…… if it is true and our country filled with people like you we won’t need an explanation for the recessions we live through. CHANGE CHANNEL alll you have to do.
Israel has a really good song and she is not writhing half naked on the floor screaming as some other songstresses are doing.
I hope Israel wins! Love the song, her voice and Israel ❤❤❤
Eurovision is full of POLTICAL bs
Funny how theres no crying for more representation of minority's but i guess if you have enough rainbow flags its the okay
Like watching the inmates in a mental hospital
Yea I know Gb news presntors are mental
@@Toodyslexicforyou absolute madness the worlds as mad as a bucket of frogs, and Eurovision is the worst of the lot 💩
Silly comment; silly person, and all too predictable. You’re not my kind of dyslexic; can the diagnosis be relied upon?
@@Toodyslexicforyou not as mental as those mad fuckers on Eurovision 🤡
A good reminder why I only watch GB News and KZhead! The rest of tv is utter nonsense 😳
True , Its no longer a song contest its a trendy fashion show for wannabe celebrities
He had to mention Brexit, it got nothing to do with Brexit, it was political before the referendum, countries simply don't like us, and the songs are awful, except for the likeable Sam Ryder. To much media attention for both poor acts and songs.
This woman deserves to win, brave woman.
It has become a freaks show.
Id sooner bet the uk would come last
Israel forever🎉😅🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱✌️✌️✌️✌️✌️
Cupid stunt
Time to end Eurovision.
I truly hope ISRAEL WIN. Eden has a beautiful voice. 🇮🇱🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🎉💖👌
George Galloway will demand Palestine must win the Eurovision song contest
perhaps they could sing the Owl and the Pussy Cat 🤣🤣🤣
Time for this crap to be gone
Woke rubbish 😮 its like a freak show singing competition now
Good that are not doing a bucks fizz dance What would people think when the skirts come off . ?
it should be about the MUSIC.
I will vote for isreal our song is rubush and he doesn't represent our flag
Come on Israel
Its crap o vision the pantomime
I’m voting for Israel 🇮🇱 it’s the best song
Just praying the UK don't come last. Second last would be small victory.
We deserve to come last. There’s no measure of victory to be had. Coming last, is at least a victory of sorts, as it’ll be a kick up the arse for the BBC.
Eurovision has lead so many things from the starting gun of Portugal's independence to the changes in our cultural acceptance. Now the voices want peace in Ukraine, Gaza and acceptance for diversity. Before this medium, we had to listen to pulpit by the churches and the establishment. Woke means being awake to what is going on.
Vote Croatia! Tactical necessity…
Wars and violence aside, Israel is in the Middle East, not Europe, so unsure how it technically qualifies for Eurovision?
He wont win anyway 😂five blokes on stage nearly kissing upside down,having a laugh slagging the uk flag off.go to gaza and see if they accept you""NO 😂😂
Gone are the days it was a silly singing competition….. il be avoiding at all costs
Since when did Israel become part of Europe?
Is all POLTICAL man
@@Toodyslexicforyou and Australia?
Doesn’t exist bill gates bro again
BAN the contest all together, it says nothing about music, it’s all about politics we don’t need it
Dont watch it anymore .It's a joke as a comedian used to say what a gay day .
I remember the days when real singers Won....LuLu, ABBA, Cliff Richard etc etc
As someone who has watched every year since 1992, I think I am qualified to comment. When I started watching the Contest was still dominated by ethno-ballads, there was still a language rule compelling all competitors to sing in a recognised language in their country accompanied by an orchestra and there was only 25 countries competing. All that, except the ethno-ballads, as gone now. It is a MUCH bigger thing, topping out at 43 countries mid-2010s. Those of us who stuck around did so because we were being introduced to other country's music traditions, encountering new artists and acts who might be worth checking out further and watching around 40 different performances, each one different and creative in its own way. As the Contest expanded, the technology available to support ever more ellaborate and immerse stagings exploded and English-language songs dominated thanks to rule changes and a drive towards finding songs that could have some kind of commercial after-life post-Contest became part of the business plan for Acts who took greater creative control of their entries, what actually happened is a silent declaration of war for the soul of the Contest between the 'identitarian' crowd who split down the middle between sending songs that are ethnically relevant to that country, Ukraine's 2004 and 2022 winners for example, and those who tend to treat the Contest as a Pride event but can also all about the cultural identity side of things, the 'we want a party' crowd who just want pop bangers all night, the sillier the staging the better and the 'quality with content' crowd who want a well written, well produced and well staged entry, that makes them feel some kind of emotion, good or bad and would like to see songs that represent the cultures that send them. Most years have a nice blend of all three - that's what makes people come back. The key to a good entry it to touch each point of that triangle - it is possible to have a queer-influenced entry that also happens to have quality - Italy 2022 which is a love ballad that happens to be sung between two men and is sensitively executed, coming 6th in Turin. You can have an ethnic pride entry which has a great deal quality about it - Ukraine 2016 won in Stockholm ironically with a song written and performed by a Crimean Tartar singer, Jamala (who is Ukraine's Jury spokesperson this year), about a Soviet era ethnic cleansing and is an emotionally affecting and artistic piece. Israel's winner in Lisbon 2018 and Russia's last entry in Rotterdam 2021 managed the rare feat of being ethnically orientated feminist fun bops, with Russia being the more intelligent in its visuals and more musically challenging, a bilingual, folk-hip hop fusion feminist slam to be precise - as such, along with being my personal favourite Russian entry, came pretty close to capturing all three of these points. Indeed, some countries, Portugal, Italy, France, Ukraine have developed reputations for sending songs that actually sound strongly from where they are. You can usually tell its the Israeli entry because the instrumentation usually has subtle nods towards traditional Jewish music. Azerbaijan has recently started leaning into their traditional styles with their non-qualifying entry this year utilising a traditional singing technique which is protected by UNESCO. Norway has sent something this year I think we could categorise as Nordic. If you want something culturally specific and effective, try giving song number 2 a go this year - Ukraine. Of course this IS an entertainment show, it is SUPPOSED to be a fun and there will be fun. If you want silly, try Finland's 'No Rules' (song no. 17 tonight). There's NOTHING wrong with fun, especially if there is actually a message hidden amongst the silliness (which there is with Finland). Sadly, most country's broadcasters AREN'T proud of their country's traditions and therefore do not short-list songs that do lean into national identity - compare Denmark's recent run of 3 non-qualifications, the last Danish entry most people care for is back in 2018 with Rasmussen and 'Higher Ground' aka the one with the pacifist Vikings. Olly doesn't have that, he is trying to have his cake and eat it, stuck with a fairly commercial track that could come from anywhere and is intended solely to sell records on streaming platforms, performed by a disposable artist. The only way he can overcome that IS to emphasise his identity, without the thoughtfulness of the band Vesna who came 10th for Czechia in 2023 or the brother-sister team of Salvador and Luisa Sorbal who set records for Portugal winning in a land-slide in the Kyiv contest of 2017 with a Portuguese language bossa nova influenced piano ballad which was genuinely lovely. It's telling that France, Italy, Ukraine, Moldova most years, perennial underdog-turned country to watch out for Portugal, Israel and some of the Balkan countries have all built brands by doing the EXACT opposite of that approach. Hell it's telling that Sam Ryder took us to 2nd in Turin in 2022 because he was both entertaining as a performer, the staging and song worked and because he was reaching back into British traditions - specifically the 1970s glam era, to represent the UK. Olly and the BBC are NOT doing this, they are doing the OPPOSITE and they have nothing EXCEPT Olly and Olly's identity to reach into because the BBC DOES NOT actually like Britain and does not want to send something that sounds or feels actually British or likes the British people at all.
Don't mention the Irish entry, its a shameful thing to pretend it daydem in any way represents Ireland but it does represent our woke politicians media judiciary police NGOs leftoids
We're all in the shyte together in these benighted islands.
@@johnkitching2248 no its colloquial Irish, th don't exist in Irish so most cannot pronounce th sounds comes out d, hence they is day and them is dem. Daydem, which is apt

@cliveclerkenville2637: exactly so! Although, some would argue even further back, when assurances were given, prior to the reunification of Germany.

Im voting for lsrael 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤️❤️❤️🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
never watched that shite in my life anyway the latest will be no exception, and if the winner is chosen on how sorry people feel for the country at the time then that makes the whole thing pointless anyway,
didn't Ukraine win 2 years ago? 🤣🤣🤣
last year wasnt it Ukraine that won? is Israel our 'european neighbour' ? is collective punishment not a war crime?
Israel isn’t our friend or neighbour.
Is Olly a giver or taker ?
Both
Terry Wogan hated what that show has become . While he was in his last years . Nothing to do with music anymore . Sham
Allowing Israel to enter has given Eurovision all the free publicity it needs. It's no longer a song competition It's a box ticking political contest
Vote for Israel 🇬🇧🇮🇱🇬🇧🇮🇱👍

Just been watching the performance of river dance at Eurovision in Ireland at the interval. A lovely memory and a stunning performance seen by many for the first time.Things do move on and hope their will entertaing performances to night but it seems like looking at clips all the contestants look so similar it just looks like a narsassistic take over of what used to be in part about the culture of different counteries.
So much more important news going on guys. S2 underground best news channel.
Thank god we no longer have the 1970's TV game show "Its a knockout"...If 'The Wokies' had gotton hold of that it would've probably started World War 3
Basically crap, with a bit a glitter sprinkled on top. Some woke up, as well as the the song? Contest.
How is it woke? It just a gay dude dancing. Are you really offended over that snowflake????😂😂😂
Vote Israel.
The Eurovision song contest has always been a load of nonsense, even when it was just about the songs. Most songs that won it would never had been big hits if they hadn't won. Thats not the fault of the artists, it was just the bland nature of the songs that only got the radii and tv exposure due to them being Eurovision entries. Nowadays it's not even about the songs, its just a load of virtue signalling camp nonsense. I'm sure there are many people who probably do enjoy this but I am not among their ranks and wont be watching.
Will Israels song get stage rushed halfway through? Probably.
You can just imagine Garry and Huw meeting up at Jeremys house salivating over this freak show.
Vote for Israel tonight!
