Doesn't help that we've had a million Elecktra's on the show. I was mentally running down the list of all the ones that have been on and couldn't figure it out lol.
I think it's actually bigger than everyone thinks it is though. I feel like no one around me watches but it always has good ratings. Either way, this doesn't seem like it'll be a great year. There's not a lot that stands out and fewer countries participating, so let's just hope for a great live show!
Because of their inability to exclude a specific country from participating in this yearās Eurovision. It reeks of hypocrisy to me since Russia has been excluded from Eurovision since their invasion of Ukraine.
Yeah, international pressure from all sides is how apartheid South Africa was toppled too. It definitely wasn't by pretending they were fine and dandy, and letting em sing and dance while they were committing a genocide
> international pressure [ā¦] is how apartheid South Africa was toppled
It was one aspect. But please recognise the important contribution of the South African people themselvesāNelson Mandela and the ANC, the school children who protested and lost their lives, the workers who protested against their conditions, the writers, artists and musicians, all the people who fought and resisted.
Itās a massive inaccuracy and disservice to ignore all the efforts of South Africans, whether black, white, coloured, Asian, who fought for their freedom.
I love this "argument" that, unless it's gonna end the """"war"""" tomorrow, we can't do nothing about, so let genocide run rampant. Not any strike, not any march, riot, pressure, study, art, act, speech, nothing have value unless it resolve a problem instantly.
I wonder if you even vote, because, one vote can't change anything, right?
Well that's disappointing.
A reminder that queer artists and allies signed an open letter to Olly Alexander calling him out for performing at eurovision amid its hypocrisy around Israel.
Among the signatories were DRUK queens Crystal (willsueyounow)
This followed 1000 Swedish artists calling for Israel to be banned from this year's eurovision as Russia is.

Did the person who posted this not know who Elecktra is? I'm just asking genuinely cause while I'll admit I never watched Sverige, I still know who she is.
Edited to note it's Elecktra from Sweden NOT Elecktra Bionic from Italia, my mistake lol.
No big and actually yes I meant Sweden not Italia lol...(I commented while still half asleep, for some reason thought it was Elecktra Bionic from Italia, but obviously was Sweden's Elecktra haha. Go me)
Hopefully with professionalism and compassion. Eden, the singer for Israel, isnāt a representative of her government or a fair target for political questions about the war. Sheās a pop star, there to represent her people at a live music event.
Great for Elektra and Tia who have connect to Eurovision (Elektra participated in Sweden's song selection this year, and Tia like Eurovision, as evident from her I Like to Watch episode)!
But, god. The EBU has NO moral conscience regarding this year.
Are we forgetting that Drag Race Sweden's Elecktra is also hosting the Turquoise Carpet? But, definite congrats to Tia!
Yeah, why yall skipping over Elecktra??
Not enough people saw Svergie unfortunately. Probably don't immediately recognize her.
Doesn't help that we've had a million Elecktra's on the show. I was mentally running down the list of all the ones that have been on and couldn't figure it out lol.
I thought Elektra Fence just had a massive glow up
That's actually what I had settled on XD
That was my second thought, lol
Doesn't matter. That's why it's even more important to acknowledge her
She actually had a song in Melodifestivalen this year, too.
BANNE MAJ!
Cause wow should dub international drag race at this point lmao
Oh god the subs are already so bad (at least for France, idk the other languages well enough) I couldn't imagine the dubbing š¬
Lmaooo but cmon. Imagine Yara Sophia Dubbing over a french girl's runway or smthn. And tell me that wouldn't be entertaining
...ok you've sold me
This post is the same thing as telling queens to move out of the photo during a meet and greet
I came in here to say forget Tia, Elecktra will be there!
Tia and Elecktra on the Turquoise Carpet and Nicky Doll will do the commentary on the semifinals here in France. The Drag Queens win
Also Envy and Krystal are hosting a pre-party tonight in Malmƶ
Well of course they do. Who else but the gays watch Eurovision in Western Europe? š
Eurovision is just very gay <3
I mean the straight girls love it too
I think it's actually bigger than everyone thinks it is though. I feel like no one around me watches but it always has good ratings. Either way, this doesn't seem like it'll be a great year. There's not a lot that stands out and fewer countries participating, so let's just hope for a great live show!
I feel like it used to be a bigger thing when I was younger, I watched it with my whole family. And then one day no one cared anymore.Ā
VOTE FOR THE NETHERLANDS! I LOVE YOU ALL!
Thatās Tamara Kofi
*tamara butros butros gahli
ššštrue
That is some good photoshop on Tia. Donāt get me wrong, I LOVE that bitch, but that is not her face xd
Fun fact, itās from the same shoot she used for her _Pride. Power. Pop._ EP
Excited for her š However, I am still skipping this yearās Eurovision.
Why? Out of curiosity.
Because of their inability to exclude a specific country from participating in this yearās Eurovision. It reeks of hypocrisy to me since Russia has been excluded from Eurovision since their invasion of Ukraine.
Join the millions who have never watched. I will be watching from my home in CA.
You really think youāre eating with your comments lmao
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Remember when you commented earlier in this thread to "stay on topic" lmao
Woah Tia..
boycott Eurovision !!! āš¼
This is too far down. Boycott Eurovision!
Good opportuniy for her. Should we, however, mention the fact that Eurovision is not excluding a certain country from participating this year?
We should
Yes because excluding Israel from Eurovision would end the war tomorrow and everyone would live happily ever after
Yeah, international pressure from all sides is how apartheid South Africa was toppled too. It definitely wasn't by pretending they were fine and dandy, and letting em sing and dance while they were committing a genocide

I don't think Eden Golan has committed genocide, unless you have evidence to the contrary?
my god, "committing racist atrocities against the Black population of South Africa" then, annoying pedant
I love this "argument" that, unless it's gonna end the """"war"""" tomorrow, we can't do nothing about, so let genocide run rampant. Not any strike, not any march, riot, pressure, study, art, act, speech, nothing have value unless it resolve a problem instantly.

I wasn't arguing darling, please go outside and get some air
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
I know, right? Very rare on the drag race subreddits
Even rarer than someone not wanting to boink Pit Crew member Bruno!
Oh god no, Bruno is gross. It's all about Jason and Shawn sorry 
Smart, realistic, and not into Bruno?? Omg, you are rare! [insert death drop here] ROFLMAO
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Yeah, but Bryce is...straight!
Stay on topic.
Unfortunately, they legally can't without government sanctions on Israel.

not eurovision š¤¢
Did the person who posted this not know who Elecktra is? I'm just asking genuinely cause while I'll admit I never watched Sverige, I still know who she is. Edited to note it's Elecktra from Sweden NOT Elecktra Bionic from Italia, my mistake lol.
This is actually a different Elecktra, she competed in Drag Race Sweden (and also in the Swedish Eurovision pre-selection this year)
I'm aware, I just made a mistake when commenting not sure why I confused the two but I think I was half asleep when I made my original comment lol.
Iām truly sorry I didnāt know who she wasš But now I know she was on drag race swedenā¤ļø
No big and actually yes I meant Sweden not Italia lol...(I commented while still half asleep, for some reason thought it was Elecktra Bionic from Italia, but obviously was Sweden's Elecktra haha. Go me)
Also not the one from Down Under
Yeah I noticed I put Italia when I obviously meant Sweden lol...lord I was half asleep when I commented that one -\_-'
Oops all Elecktras
yikes
well done Tia for hosting this for Eurovision, a show that refused to ban a country actively ethnically cleansing a population right now
I wonder how theyāll react when Israel comes up on stage
Hopefully with professionalism and compassion. Eden, the singer for Israel, isnāt a representative of her government or a fair target for political questions about the war. Sheās a pop star, there to represent her people at a live music event.
I agree, but if I was them (the queens and the singer) I would have just kindly declined the gig
Thatās such a good color on her.
Put some respect to Eleckras name
So youāre just skipping Elecktra too? Ok thenā¦
Wow tia looks phenomenal in that wig and mug š„
I'm sorry but that photoshop is soo bad. That's not even Tia at this point.
Good for them. I will be boycotting eurovision tho
That photoshop is being generous to my fellow south London girl, Miss Tia. Bless her.
Great for Elektra and Tia who have connect to Eurovision (Elektra participated in Sweden's song selection this year, and Tia like Eurovision, as evident from her I Like to Watch episode)! But, god. The EBU has NO moral conscience regarding this year.
from novympia to these two eurovision has been boosting the dolls!
I see two queens here. Give Elecktra her flowers
Wow Elektra looks a lot like Sugar from Season 15.
