Happy New Eurovision Year ! 🥳 🎉🎊

Here are my predictions for Eurovision 2025 no one asked !

Disclaimer : I'm not clairvoyant, so most (if not, not a single one) of my predictions won't come true. Also, please note that I don't mean to offend anyone in this thread, I just like to guess what will happen in the next Eurovision season that may be more chaotic than ever.

- 3 hosts, one woman and two men

- 🇨🇿 will withdraw but 🇳🇱 will participate again

- 🇷🇴 and 🇲🇨 will return, but not 🇲🇰

- "Ne partez pas sans moi" will be covered by one of the last Swiss representatives

- Postcards will include parts of Swiss culture

A Doll's Stage

Luxembourg you did me proud as they really upped the level of production from last year and gave us seven high quality songs but I am so happy that my winner going into Luxembourg Song Contest not only gave the best performance of the night but won the ticket to Basel

Dare I say that Luxembourg is my winner at this very early stage of the season with still 33 more songs to come

BREAKING: The Host City Is Decided!

This morning (pardon my lateness as it was 4am when the announcement came in and pardon my typos I'm writing this on my phone before packing for ✨️college✨️) we got our host city for this year's Eurovision.

The host city is...Basel! And the dates are as follows:

Semi Final 1: May 13

Semi Final 2: May 15

Grand Final: May 17

This is the third time Switzerland had hosting honors after Lugano in 1956 and Lausanne in 1989.

If Miriana Konte, Justyna Steczkowska and Erika Vikman don't win their national finals I'm suing the European union

[3cosmicfrogs]

they say it's because of "antisemitism, anticipated bad image due to pro-palestine protests, and spread of satanic and occult imagery" and this is the hardest decision ive ever had to make in my life

Survivor of Hamas attack to represent Israel at Eurovision 2025

Yuval Raphael, who survived the Hamas attack on Israel, would perform at the Eurovision Song Contest in Basel, Switzerland, in May.

Raphael qualified for the contest on Wednesday after winning Rising Star, a televised Israeli singing competition. She was honoured to represent Israel in Eurovision after a vote by Israeli audience.

The 24-year-old singer was partying with friends at the Nova Festival on 7 October 2023 when it was attacked by Hamas militants. According to the Times of Israel, Raphael survived by hiding under bodies in a bomb shelter.

In a separate interview, Raphael said she would use his Eurovision appearance to “tell them the story of the country, of what I went through, of what others went through.”

But not from a place of seeking sympathy. I want it to be from a place of standing strong in the face of this, and in the face of the boos I’m 100 percent sure will come from the crowd.

However, the decision to allow Israel to compete in Eurovision last year drew criticism from the international community because of the country’s actions in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis. The then Israeli contestant Eden Golan was forced to change the title of her song October Rain, which referred to the 7 October attack, in accordance with the rules prohibiting political statements.

Thirty-seven countries will take part in Eurovision 2025 in Basel.
