Nothing much, it's all been kinda quiet around these parts....

I don't want to see it fail and end... but I feel that's what we are witnessing.

Next year was supposed to be an anniversary year, too.

Now we're going to be down to maybe 33, 34 countries, and "The Big Four" again.

I mean, I've been watching since 1997, but yeah, obsessive for the previous 10 years (well, last year a bit less)

I love that Russia's involvement finished on such a great, independent artist, who was, and remains, on the right side of history.

This then means, if there is any credence to the reports of Germany leaving if Israel is excluded because they support their war, it can be reframed as "this has nothing to do with war, and is based on behaviour relating to the contest"

And then if Germany leave, oh well, so sad, goodbye

This is exactly my feelings, I obviously don't agree with Israel's response, but I feel excluding them on basis of "they're in conflict" and "they're committing war crimes" is difficult to do.

But for me, if you look at the rules, even pre the updated rules, they broke them and should be excluded

New Year Treat has been expanded to two episodes!?

Genuinely surprised I had that so high in my listens!! I thought it would be Baller... but, I guess I've got to bear in mind it was near the top of most Eurovision playslists so that would influence that
