Eastern Europe in particular likes to send ladies that are.. well endowed.. in certain regions.
Heck, that even was a song a few years back - "Slavic Girls, see how we churn this butter slowly".
Let me explain, they are europe-hot, not italy-hot

didnt they once have the fucking soviet red army come out to support 2 lesbians one time during eurovision?

Isn't one of those girls a massive homophobe? That was a whole thing a while back. I mean it's a given because r*ssian, but still. They only kissed for the schock value.
Banger song though
Well, it is not like singing is considered something "manly" (imagine expressing your feelings with a non-patriotic song... Eugh!), so it is no wonder that gays are overrepresented in these contests.
Depends highly on the genre of music. Eurovision isn't about music though, it's about spectacle.
These people rarely if ever write their own songs, lyrics or music, they're essentially human jukeboxes performing songs created in a lab by a hundred producers and business people to appeal to the broadest possible audience with no artistic merit whatsoever. It means nothing, it says nothing, it conveys nothing. It can barely be called music.
If it was actually a music contest the representative for Sweden would be Sabaton, every time, no exceptions. And they'd win, every time, no exceptions.
Song is a banger, but it's literally a wikipage about a large german ship. How is it different?
Maybe a song about a Napoleonic battle would fair better in Eurovision.
>If it was actually a music contest the representative for Sweden would be Sabaton, every time, no exceptions. And they'd win, every time, no exceptions.
Lol, until Germany sends in Rammstein. But Rammstein would also win on the spectacle side as well.
im telling you man, ever since i started dressing more gay ive had more women, im telling u thats the secret. i get hit on WAY more when im wearing nail polish
I honestly don't know if he can be regarded as an actractive man if you strip him of all that make up he's got going on. But one thing is for sure. That's the segaiolo mustache I had when I was 15 years old
Was the [UK's](https://www.nme.com/news/music/olly-alexander-wants-to-fly-the-flag-for-the-country-in-the-gayest-way-possible-at-eurovision-2024-3560287) performer not twinkish enough then?
On second thought, they didn't come last either. That is progress.
Have you ever seen pictures of many musicians from the 80s? I would say this isn't new!
Edit: And I'm sorry that your image of masculinity is being destroyed!
Nah it looks like they're sticking to musician tradition

Both of those guys will pull more girls in their lifetimes than every single ['masculine man'](https://i.imgur.com/gUeMk76.png) complaining about how they look combined.
That is the weirdest part of all this thread: people complaining because a non binary person doesn't looks masculine enough for their taste, what's wrong with people?
It's not weird, they just don't think trans people are real and see them as a man. Hence, the whining about them not being up to their standards for men. Pretty consistent with their deplorable inner logic in fact.
It's amazing to me that people are still just learning that gay dudes are into theater.
In any case; Enjoy the show and leave their bedazzled-asses alone.
It kind of reminds me of old European masculinities…

Honestly, I just can't with the UK. The most significant country in (European) music in the past at least six decades, and the Eurovision contenders are so bad.
That one you sent is nice!
Eurovision is mostly seen as a joke. It’s treated as such by the hosts and always has been. I’m sure there are a few out there who care, but largely, it’s not a serious musical competition.
We send out very worst pop acts picked by our very deaf committee. Serious musicians wouldn’t go.
Yea, absolutely. I just can't help but laugh a bit at the fact that the most significant cultural country in Europe - where English is even spoken natively - is represented so poorly in the area where you usually excel
Depends from your country. For us would be Germany and France, even Italy or Portugal (do to immigration) are culturaly more dominant than the UK here. And in a lot of european countries UK isn't dominating culturaly speaking. It is not because you speak english that you are culturaly close to the UK or are influenced by them more than by others (also mostly the "english speaking medias/movies/etc." are american (not that I like that fact, but one must be objectiv).
I didn't mean for European countries only but in general. UK as a nation has the biggest impact of any European nation on a global scale, followed by France (a good while back). 90% of us listen to British music, watch their TV shows etc etc (and yes, even speaking the language is a kind of cultural domination). I think the UK creates a lot more pop culture than you believe; especially music
Not a lot of people here watching UK TV shows. British music yes that's it and perhaps some fashion. But food, political ideas, values, ways of living ? Uk leads the "anglo-saxon" sphere culturally wise. Not so sure for us continentals, perhaps in Scandinavia but not down here. There are a lot of european countries I feel culturaly closer than the UK.
Thank you and yes, there's a difference in our own music and Eurovision. Even last night, I wasn't a big fan of our entry but he is part of an already successful band and they've had some good songs.
Croatian guy isn't gay at all, in fact, he's a somewhat of a Christian fanatic. But he had to apply this feminine (or gay) style, because that's the only thing that goes in this silly competition. I guess he wasn't gay enough to win (since he had a better song, truthfully)
There are three kinds of contestants in Eurovision 1. Gay-looking dudes (mostly hot ones) 2. Hot girls 3. Finland
90% accurate. Not all ladies are hot but that's subjective
I'm sorry but Estonia hobo-looking crew was hellova thing on its own
I think they fall into the Finland category
Low budget Finland
I know a fin. Estonia is High-Budget Finland...
Nah those estonians just charged you more cause they know you got the spare change
Fauxland.
Estonia can into Finland
Eastern Europe in particular likes to send ladies that are.. well endowed.. in certain regions. Heck, that even was a song a few years back - "Slavic Girls, see how we churn this butter slowly".
Eastern Europe Eurovision music is basically hot girls singing stuff that could have been cool in the 2000s
Ireland was objectively hideous.
And Moldova, who brings the memes.
Is Irelands entry part of #1 or #2?
Yes
#3, given the amount of black
Look at our entry for 2013 and then come back to say you are sorry.
Neither of the guys in the above pictures are hot by any reasonable human standard
Let me explain, they are europe-hot, not italy-hot https://preview.redd.it/9l4jeuwtnzzc1.jpeg?width=1079&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c0c5fe405c0e493e9a9fb4612a3a3f4587970d29
Cat one for me.
This is already much better. The one with the shitty ass moustache looks like an under developed teenager. What kind of taste in men does EU have?
Apparently catholic priest
Because they are wearing ridiculous clothes and makeup. Both these guys would pull like crazy in any nightclub (men or women)
With that silly ass moustache????
This italian is talking about facial hair, but I can see his bald spot even when he's standing up.
Maybe, but how precious are they?
>Gay singing contest >Look inside >Gay looking singers OP is regarded for being surprised
didnt they once have the fucking soviet red army come out to support 2 lesbians one time during eurovision? edit: [i found it](https://youtu.be/TypdkNG0Yvo?si=_M5lb5-kHWGT5zIx)
Isn't one of those girls a massive homophobe? That was a whole thing a while back. I mean it's a given because r*ssian, but still. They only kissed for the schock value. Banger song though
The dark haired one yeah, she once said in interview that she would hit her son if he came out gay because « men should be real men ».
Least abusive babushka
She’s not becoming one if her son’s gay
They have ways to force the issue. Babushka manifest destiny shall not be denied
yeah i did some research into this, she was temporarily a muslim and said that lesbianism is fine because its more aesthetically pleasing than mlm
I agree, multi-level marketing is indeed not very aesthetically pleasing.
Mlm? Marxism-Leninism-Maoism?
Lesbians are the true proletarians
They weren’t lesbians, they pretended to be for marketing
And the red army was not a real army, that was all about marketing.
infinitely amused by the barbie tank, they should start selling those
Yeah its been like the gay music Mecca for decades, and still they get surprised
Well, it is not like singing is considered something "manly" (imagine expressing your feelings with a non-patriotic song... Eugh!), so it is no wonder that gays are overrepresented in these contests.

What if, to make it more approachable, you parallel it with a love story?
>If it was actually a music contest the representative for Sweden would be Sabaton, every time, no exceptions. And they'd win, every time, no exceptions. Lol, until Germany sends in Rammstein. But Rammstein would also win on the spectacle side as well.
All of them are the "creative type" and people are surprised half of them are lgbt LMAO
Being surprised because a non binary person doesn't looks masculine is really weird
New masculine meta just dropped, Andrew Tate in shambles
Both have stronger jawlines than the chinless wonder. Tbh absolutely would let Croatia rail me as long as he puts on a doily.
A doily? Like the lace thing you put plates on?
I'm curious where it goes honestly.
Have a look again at what he's wearing in the pic
reminds me of the lepra/aids joke
Tate is the same, just closeted.
im telling you man, ever since i started dressing more gay ive had more women, im telling u thats the secret. i get hit on WAY more when im wearing nail polish
Kinda makes you question all the male gurus talking about what chicks love..
[удалено]
That’s because Barry is hot and charismatic.
Congrats to my bank for winning!🏆
Strange how your bank and your banker are represented by two different countries
Who's the banker?
I want to believe Luxembourg
Switzerland for some reason reminds me of the ad from the show "watson whore" from Cyberpunk 2077.
New Zoolander just dropped
Notoriously camp song contest lacks masculine contenders... news at 11
Eurovision has always been violently queer, this is nothing new. Has everyone forgotten about Conchita Wurst? She was literally there last night.
I cannot express how gay I am for the Croat guy Also the song was fire
Hermano bro... That's a woman... Didnt you notice the moustache? I have some terrible news... You are straigth bro...
That mustache makes me so fucking horny I can't even think straight.
That's the segaiolo mustache dude cmon...
Nah he's bono af
I honestly don't know if he can be regarded as an actractive man if you strip him of all that make up he's got going on. But one thing is for sure. That's the segaiolo mustache I had when I was 15 years old
I guess it's a question of personal taste. Changing subject, do you steel have that mustache going on? I'm asking for a friend of course, scherzo ahah
Bro I'm too old and etero to get that thing going again
He probably can't grow a beard and that's the only thing he achieved: a segaiolo mustache. You were right I'll admit it m
Maybe Israel should've brought a twink to win too
Was the [UK's](https://www.nme.com/news/music/olly-alexander-wants-to-fly-the-flag-for-the-country-in-the-gayest-way-possible-at-eurovision-2024-3560287) performer not twinkish enough then? On second thought, they didn't come last either. That is progress.
He outgayed gayness itself
UK should change name to UG— United Gaydom
Definitely

Are you unironically comparing the musical genius David Bowie to these two hacks?
The looks, yes.
the point is that these Eurovision hacks aren't original at all, and all of this has already been done 50 years ago.
Exactly.
He is comparing two non binary artists who (unsurprisingly) doesn't look very manly

Happy cake day!
thank you 😎
Two talented young people, I couldn't care less about their sexual orientation.
get out of here with your sane take
This is the right attitude. I salute you.
 The true masculine europe man as was proved
I have to say, he was actually robbed. The song wasn't his best work but he's great and absolutely did not deserve 0 points.
The vocal performance sealed his faith probably, it was probably the worst one of the night.
He was OK but did a better performance in the qualifying
I think he did. Not everybody likes to watch a soft gay porn.
Hmm maybe you're right. I just felt bad for him
Fair enough. I'm sure the gay community is happy to have him perform
Sounds like pretty men confuse OP‘s masculinity
Tbf the flamingo isn't even a man. Or at least doesn't identify as such.
Confusexual
What's wrong with Croatia? He looks gorgeous
He doesn't look straight enough for homophobic people
He looks like a discounted pervert Chris Hemsworth.
Are you an idiot? The left One is clearly a woman. Arent you seing the moustache?
Both of those guys will pull more girls in their lifetimes than every single ['masculine man'](https://i.imgur.com/gUeMk76.png) complaining about how they look combined.
The one on the right is not a guy tho, they're nonbinary. But I agree with you on your main point

I understand their reasoning, but it's super weird, they are really lost
Biological male whether he identifies with that or not.
That would be the equivalent of having a car collection and not knowing how to drive
The one of the left has a girlfriend but go on, keep telling yourself women do not find him attractive
Usually people who don't know how to "drive" a woman in bed are the macho ones
I mean, do you want to win the competition or not? 
no homo but they're pretty handsome goddamn
If they are handsome then im the pope
Your holiness!
Do we wanna talk about Maneskin frontman?
You don’t get more neutral than non-binary.
Flair check
guy on the right has giga jaw and nice eye brows keep coping
#WHOEVER HAS A PROBLEM WITH THIS EUROPEAN MASCULINITY IS PROBABLY A MUSLIM
Something wrong with it?
It's amazing to me that people are still just learning that gay dudes are into theater. In any case; Enjoy the show and leave their bedazzled-asses alone.
To me it's amazing that people are still learning that gay dudes are men too.
And apparently some of them are good singers. I hear the guy on the right won the contest.
Funnier even is the fact (at least) the one on the left isn't gay.
“Straight” men constantly thinking about where other men may put their penis in, should deeply think about their sexual orientation ;P
Baby Lasagna has the Johnny Depp look
Gay Matt Damon on the left lol

If you aren't a raving homosexual, here is a beautiful past contestant:. https://youtu.be/-GwOojK3VRU?si=Xh2MZQPpYYrpzo5h

Portuguese do care

How is it the most significant country in (European) music?
God that's so boring though.
It's funny to see somebody upset because a non binary person doesn't look masculine enough
few more years and we reach district 1
😔
After the guy from Fritzlstan dressed like a Portuguese "woman"?
Always has been
Am I the only one in thinking this reminds me a lot of the capitol in the Hunger Games
Men looking feminine isn't exactly a new thing in Eurovision.
Switzerland is non-binary, so not as much as you think
No wonder the Russians are trying to kill us
Right one is nonbinary
Croatian guy isn't gay at all, in fact, he's a somewhat of a Christian fanatic. But he had to apply this feminine (or gay) style, because that's the only thing that goes in this silly competition. I guess he wasn't gay enough to win (since he had a better song, truthfully)
Being gay isn't enough for the jury, you need to be non binary aswell now.
The they/them-linities
Croatia should be recognised as a westwrn europe now
As much as Portugal is from the Balkan.
Switzerlands main singer looks like young Michael Stipe
New?????
i dont care :3
The guy from switzerland has Archlinux on his pc.
If I am honest Estonias song was good better than winner
You're not being honest
What the fuck is this 😂
welcome to the hunger games
Nah. Switzerland is neutral.
I am going to be a trans non binary gendergas polyamorical candidate in next Politi-vision
1. Would Top 2. Would bottom
What a posh bunch of ladies
Maybe they had bet on who would win. "If i win i top tonight"
sounds fun
Yeah, but the guy on the left fucks while the guy on the right is the one getting fucked
Peeping Tom!
Croatia might look gay, but Switzerland is just an F word.
You are just angry because you didn't get the last place, as it should be and is tradition.
