There was controversy surrounding this yearâs event after over 70 former Eurovision contestants signed a letter calling to ban Israel. The letter said that the inclusion of Israel in the 2024 edition led to it being âthe most politicised, chaotic and unpleasant in the competitionâs historyâ.
It also accused KAN of being âcomplicit in Israelâs genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza and the decades-long regime of apartheid and military occupation against the entire Palestinian peopleâ, and claimed that the EBU was ânormalising and whitewashing its crimesâ.
AdvertisementIrish broadcaster RTĂ also asked Eurovision for a discussion over Israelâs involvement in the song contest.
UKâs Remember Monday, who finished in 19th place, spoke to NME about competing in this yearâs song contest in Basel â and revealed that Queenâs âBohemian Rhapsodyâ was a major influence on their âchaoticâ power-pop song âWhat the Hell Just Happened?â
Estoniaâs Eurovision 2025 entry Tommy Cash, who finished third with 356 points, also recently spoke to NME about the inspirations behind his controversial song âEspresso Macchiatoâ and his hopes for winning.
New episodes of the more than 50-year-old show will run on Netflix, PBS and the PBS Kids app, while select past episodes will also be made available on Netflix.
