1 00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:03,560 Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation. 2 00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:07,240 Speaker 2: Is the editor at The Daily oz. M gillespie is here. 3 00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: Good morning, Eurovisions Eurovision Time. One hundred and eighty million 4 00:00:13,400 --> 00:00:15,960 Speaker 2: tuned in to watch the final on the weekend the 5 00:00:15,960 --> 00:00:21,680 Speaker 2: Eurovision Song Contest from Malmo, a coastal town in Switzerland, Sweden, 6 00:00:21,800 --> 00:00:26,840 Speaker 2: in Sweden, but Switzerland. One song will be in Switzerland 7 00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:37,120 Speaker 2: next year. The singer Nemo One with their song the Code. 8 00:00:35,080 --> 00:00:36,680 Speaker 1: What kind of like it? 9 00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,320 Speaker 2: Very emotive. We had a mix of sort of opera, 10 00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,240 Speaker 2: rap pop, very very Eurovision. It takes a lot of boxes, 11 00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:48,000 Speaker 2: I think, very safe, kind of full cook though full cook, well, 12 00:00:48,240 --> 00:00:50,760 Speaker 2: very kookie, the kookie, the bad as we know with Eurovision. 13 00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:53,000 Speaker 2: So what was special as well about this winner is 14 00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:55,840 Speaker 2: the singer is the first non binary artist to win 15 00:00:56,080 --> 00:00:58,840 Speaker 2: Eurovision and the song was about sort of their journey 16 00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:02,400 Speaker 2: to coming to terms their identity. But the big headline 17 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: from Eurovision this year really has been controversy. Protesters protesting 18 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 2: against Israel's place in the competition, a lot of people 19 00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: asking the question why was Israel there? Russia was boycotted 20 00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 2: from Eurovision in twenty twenty two, so a bit of 21 00:01:17,160 --> 00:01:20,400 Speaker 2: confusion there. We had an awkward moment in the semifinals 22 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:23,280 Speaker 2: when the performer, the twenty year old singer Eden Goland 23 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:39,880 Speaker 2: for Israel, came to the stage to booze. 24 00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:34,840 Speaker 3: I guess it's the state of the world is that 25 00:01:34,880 --> 00:01:38,480 Speaker 3: everyone said, hang on, Russia has invaded Ukraine. The world 26 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:42,360 Speaker 3: is undecided. As to perform there, no no, but the 27 00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 3: world is undecided. It seems politically no one's saying Israel 28 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,360 Speaker 3: is at fault. That's why they didn't decide that. 29 00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,200 Speaker 2: Well, it was a bit of a strange turn of events. Really. 30 00:01:51,240 --> 00:01:53,040 Speaker 2: You had people on the streets, you know, in the 31 00:01:53,080 --> 00:01:57,760 Speaker 2: tens of thousands protesting against Israel, calling for a ceasefire 32 00:01:57,800 --> 00:02:01,120 Speaker 2: and to free Palestine. Greta Thunberg was there amongst the crowd. 33 00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: But then inside you had Israel, who came twelfth on 34 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:08,400 Speaker 2: the jury vote but fifth overall, and that means that 35 00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: they had enormous support in the public vote. So they 36 00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,799 Speaker 2: won the popular vote in fifteen countries and that ultimately 37 00:02:14,800 --> 00:02:16,959 Speaker 2: lifted their score to be in that sort of elusive 38 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:17,560 Speaker 2: top five. 39 00:02:17,680 --> 00:02:18,040 Speaker 1: Wow. 40 00:02:18,160 --> 00:02:20,400 Speaker 2: So I guess Europe has kind of had it, say 41 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 2: if you will, on that conflict. The other controversy was 42 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:27,640 Speaker 2: the Netherlands getting disqualified before the Grand Final. They were 43 00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,960 Speaker 2: one of the hot favorites. But apparently there was a 44 00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:33,880 Speaker 2: backstage incident in which the singer allegedly threatened a female 45 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:38,080 Speaker 2: production crew member. So the police are investigating that one, 46 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:39,440 Speaker 2: which no one really saw coming. 47 00:02:39,520 --> 00:02:42,079 Speaker 1: So Eurovision stepped in and said you're out. Yep. 48 00:02:42,080 --> 00:02:44,480 Speaker 2: Eurovision stepped in and said, because of this kind of 49 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,600 Speaker 2: ongoing investigation a complaint made by a female member of 50 00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:50,560 Speaker 2: the production crew, that it wouldn't be appropriate for Klein, 51 00:02:50,720 --> 00:02:53,519 Speaker 2: the singer for the Netherlands, to continue. 52 00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:54,960 Speaker 1: On Wow Wow. 53 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:56,840 Speaker 2: So it was major drama. 54 00:02:57,000 --> 00:02:58,240 Speaker 1: And what happened with Australia. 55 00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:02,040 Speaker 2: Oh, Australia, we had a sad one this year. Electric 56 00:03:02,080 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 2: Fields were performing for Australia. They had a song the 57 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 2: first time that an Aboriginal language has been on a 58 00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:09,480 Speaker 2: Eurovision stage. I think we've got a bit of it here. 59 00:03:16,480 --> 00:03:17,120 Speaker 3: I like it. 60 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:20,760 Speaker 1: That's all right, that's a classic Eurovision song. Yeah. 61 00:03:20,919 --> 00:03:23,359 Speaker 2: I think there was a bit of shop that they 62 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 2: got booted so early. 63 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,960 Speaker 1: So they didn't even make it into the semis or something. 64 00:03:27,320 --> 00:03:30,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, semifinal one we got booted out of. So this 65 00:03:30,480 --> 00:03:33,200 Speaker 2: song one McAuley means one blood. It had a lot 66 00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:35,240 Speaker 2: to love, I think. But it was quite a strong 67 00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: group this year, I think, so that was a bit 68 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 2: of a shame, but we had the weird and the wonderful. 69 00:03:41,560 --> 00:03:45,240 Speaker 2: Ireland had their best ever finished placing in the top six. 70 00:03:45,720 --> 00:03:49,560 Speaker 2: Finland put forward an amazing guy, Windows ninety five man. 71 00:03:49,680 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: He was wearing a T shirt with the logo of 72 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,040 Speaker 2: Windows ninety five. He performed a nineties kind of style 73 00:03:54,080 --> 00:03:57,640 Speaker 2: house banger with no pants as you do and yeah, 74 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 2: Ireland's banby Thug. They would really up there is one 75 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,880 Speaker 2: of the favorites. Goth Gremlin goblin Witch was the way 76 00:04:04,920 --> 00:04:09,840 Speaker 2: that they described their performance, and Croatia's Baby Lasagna came second. 77 00:04:10,360 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: Jonesy's favorite. Everyone thought Baby Lasagna might have might have 78 00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:16,600 Speaker 2: taken it out. But I often wonder if the reporting 79 00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,640 Speaker 2: on these eurovisions is wherever the kind of journals want 80 00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,840 Speaker 2: to go next. So you know, people would rather go 81 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,000 Speaker 2: to Croatia next year than Switzerland apparently, but they will 82 00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:28,320 Speaker 2: really Switzerland. Switzerland's good because it's a neutral country and 83 00:04:28,360 --> 00:04:30,120 Speaker 2: maybe that's what we need in these times. 84 00:04:30,320 --> 00:04:36,279 Speaker 1: Maybe maybe that's what we need. And well done. We'll 85 00:04:36,279 --> 00:04:37,160 Speaker 1: talk to you next week.
