We have mutual friends and even they agree that he's 'a bit much for some people' which is a polite way of agreeing that he's a prick.
Being serious as ever, I think the public should choose who gets picked and what song they perform. We used to do it like that most of the time. I can't see any good reason not to do it like that again.
Continuing to be serious, I think we not only have some great songwriters and performers but also world class producers, choreographers and stage technicians. We should put on the best show we are capable of, using the best available talents.
In other words, not under-medicated, insufferable, untalented pricks.

I’m just glad there wasn’t as much publicity for Eurovision this year because I really could not give a single shit about the entire affair.
Actually that’s not quite right; most of the time I find it actively repellent.

I have made 6 posts on the subject so far (including this one), while you have made 3. The billions who genuinely don't care have each made 0 posts.
The main publicity I saw was all about the principled nations boycotting the contest over Israel.
