🇫🇷 SLIMANE MAKES STATEMENT & CALLS FOR PEACE DURING FINAL REHEARSAL PERFORMANCE!

[@MaxxyRainbowESC]

Slimane is making us all proud.

[@sebastianniittyvuopio5017]

😮 what happened 7.10.2023?

[@sp9459]

I can actually see Eurovision getting cancelled in the next hours 😢

[@patrickwittwer5232]

Same😢

[@Janecas]

And that would be the best at this point

[@ClaytonCOUK]

At this point I wouldn’t mind it being cancelled it’s ridiculous now and will become unsafe

[@branislavazdjelar1870]

Hopefully

[@MrDen-lv5uj]

Cancelled because of one rule breaker and those who still support him?? Rules are rules, for everyone.

[@raphaell1769]

It isn't about the music or artists, it's all about EBU Dictatorship Respect Slimane!!! Hope more will follow!

[@santabarbara2105]

Well done, France! Hope you win

[@tillypattiasina9206]

Well done France, love of the Netherlands.

[@dalmatiandream4452]

Good luck tonight ❤️ ❤️❤️for all artists.. ☮️❤️ #TeamBabyLasagna 🐱🇭🇷

He is just saving his vocals for a live show.

[@gizmodreamer5966]

Thank you France, justice for Joost❤

[@lwgg742]

@BeGoodNow12 They've released a statement. It was just a paparazzi woman harassing Joost for the 2nd time in 2 weeks in a moment where the Dutch delegation had made clear in advance agreements that he cannot be filmed after the concert and she kept filming him anyway. Joost then made a gesture of putting her phone down without touching her. That was all.

[@quinob]

The Dutch national broadcaster NOS has the news that Ireland, Greece and Switzerland have complained with the EBU about being filmed by members of the Israeli delegation without their consent. Which is why they didn't participate in the flag parade.

[@Olivier-GM]

This news was confirmed by other media.

[@colorfulmind8341]

Well maybe it’s because of their hostility and rude behavior

[@Tiasung]

That is clearly a directed narrative to make the Israeli delegation look bad. Not surprising considering which delegations are making these accusations. I guess ''they'' decided to go for more then just protests this time. Lets see what will happen. Is the public going to go allong with that or stand up for what is right?

[@tommylundholm9146]

So that was they where doing too Joost for speaking out about the war in Gaza. Then suddenly the film was missing.

[@lindavisser7738]

Nobody's allowed to talk about 'peace', because Israel might feel offended ... and the EBU agrees. Knock me down with a prize-winning leek, but I don't get it. 🤔

[@1ndrulicka]

Literally. I’m sure it would’ve been allowed if the word ‘PEACE’ was representing the White & Blue star flag’s interests.. smfh

[@amandahamilton2987]

Yes at this point not sure if it will go ahead

[@hydlidevlog]

With all the turmoil that has been going on during the semi / reheursals. I would guess that the live show will be no different. But then again, the EBU will cut to commercials very quickly when shit hits the fan offcourse.

[@R.James2140]

Eurovision is supposed to provide an escape from the reality of daily life and politics. I want to be entertained, not preached to.

[@1ndrulicka]

You should go live under a rock then 🪨

[@johnny11415]

WOW! OK I get that with what happened it's complete chaos but now if every contestant starts making statements during the performances it's not a song contest anymore.

[@1ndrulicka]

Do You people still don’t understand that the biggest political movements especially when calling for PEACE in the modern day history always had artists involved? Art has always been uniting people to stand up for justice and delivering powerful messages to shake up the collective consciousness.

[@veronikalynn5084]

@@1ndrulickasome people will never understand or fully appreciate that fact.

[@bluesurcouf]

But he refused to give a word to Israeli viewers

[@santabarbara2105]

I‘m just tired of Israel. Better go sleep

[@chloeomahony97]

Why should he?

[@contraatje]

Its against the rules to make a statement during the reahersals or else. What are they gonna do with this?

[@sebastianniittyvuopio5017]

No rules❤🇫🇮

[@JohannaKH]

No rules!

[@Olivier-GM]

😮

[@twistedelegance_]

Marry me Fred ❤

[@OlivierSteinier]

Eurovision is now a Eurodrama and a Eurofiasco.... Thxx Slimane... Its all over politics and geopolitics. Where is the sense of music ?

[@1ndrulicka]

Are You seriously asking where’s the music when referring to Slimane??? Possibly the best vocals & song in this year’s if not decades Eurovision.

[@OlivierSteinier]

@@1ndrulicka thats why i thank Slimane. I bet you misunderstood my comment

[@tangofoxtrot4603]

BREAKING NEWS FRANCE have been sent home by the EBU,

[@sp9459]

Source please

[@Olivier-GM]

Don't spread fake news, thanks.

[@tangofoxtrot4603]

@ceciliebille8501 Sorry i meant Holland 🤭🤭😁

[@sesvid]

Evidently, some commentators didn't get the irony. Smile everybody, life is too short to be taken too seriously 😉

[@scottymackay1801]

Oh so stunning and brave. Why didn't they take a stand and not participate? oh, because it's all performative to increase their profile. Eden Golan has come out the classiest from all of this.

[@CM-rp1xg]

Israel will win! 12 points from Switzerland. We ❤ you 🇮🇱

[@sesvid]

Speak for yourself and not for the entire country. You're not Switzerland.

[@anakin62630]

C’est un concours de chanson, pas un concours de politique internationale. You’re wrong

[@JV-vz8gp]

@@anakin62630 How come the Israeli contestant can be political? Hm. Different rules for different participants?🙂
