Last update: 12 hours agoEurovision Shockwave: Finland and Israel stormed into Saturday’s Eurovision final after Tuesday’s first semi-final in Vienna, but the night was dominated by politics and controversy—Israel’s Noam Bettan faced audible “stop the genocide” chants during “Michelle,” while five countries boycotted the contest over Gaza, shrinking the field to 35. Who Made It / Who Didn’t: The 10 qualifiers were Greece, Finland, Belgium, Sweden, Moldova, Israel, Serbia, Croatia, Lithuania and Poland; Estonia, Georgia, Montenegro, Portugal and tiny San Marino were eliminated. San Marino Spotlight: San Marino’s Senhit and Culture Club’s Boy George drew online backlash for a “pointless” cameo as they failed to qualify. Fans vs the BBC: Viewers also complained about BBC sound mixing and a change to results graphics that replaced performers’ reactions with country names. Local Angle: In California high school baseball, Southern Section playoff results and Thursday schedules were updated, including San Marino’s bye in Division 4.
