Ah Eurovision. That European song contest (which includes famous European country, Australia) that has brought us famous streakers, famous songs and famous same-sex smooches. This year may well end up making the cut of most dramatic finals — and it’s got something to do with Nazis and state boycotts.

But a warning first: only read on if you’re ready to know the winners and losers.

OK, How Does A Song Contest Lead To Talk Of Nazis?

Because of a stage invader who said some dumb shit about them before being pulled off stage. You can hear him say the words “freedom” and “Nazis” before being dragged off.

And in the most Aussie way ever, commentator Joel Creasey, on live television, called the bloke “some absolute cockhead”.

One of the most successful authors in the history of the world of course then congratulated our boy Creasey:

Well I am dying a little. T’was me. I have been peppering my commentary with regular Potter references too. ?❤️

I absolutely adore you. Very chuffed! Off to celebrate with far too many butterbeers! xx

And Why Has The Competition’s Winner Caused Calls To Boycott?

Because the winner was… Israel. And it’s courted a lot of controversy:

Eurovision is so hypocritical. Y’all be booing Russia but completely neglect how Israel treat Palestinians like scum. The stuff that goes on there is so upsetting and I’m so angry that people can ignore it #eurovision

Can you believe Israël won like they have been denying Palestinians’s rights to their own land while filling it with settlements and she literally appropriated Japanese and Chinese culture in the most innapropriate way… Talk about celebrating equality and diversity #Eurovision

Palestine should be allowed to compete next year! #EUROVISION #Israel

Israel occupying 1st place in the #eurovision. Sure they’d be used to occupying places others wanted.

And Eurovision’s 2017 winner, Salvador Sobral, even declared that if Israel won he would hand over the trophy with a “fake smile”.

When he did hand winner Netta Barzilai the trophy, they kissed each other on the cheek. Later, Barzilai told media that “he respected me when he gave me the microphone. I send only love to him.”

In a message to fans, Barzilai thanked them for choosing a different and daring option:

We have a message for you from the winner of #Eurovision 2018! Congratulations @NettaBarzilai! #ESC2018 #AllAboard pic.twitter.com/8DpAzPzsT1

And Australia’s Eurovision Performance?

Jessica Mauboy sang her heart out, but copped a 20th placed finish after low levels of support from televoters. In the end, while she claimed 90 points from the expert jury, Australia only received nine points from televoters.

Oh well.
