    So, it was Joost issuing threats against production staff.

    I heard a rumor that he had a big suprise planned for the background graphics yesterday but was denied changing it this close to the finals.

      Swedish police have investigated a complaint made by a female member of the production crew after an incident following his performance in Thursday night’s Semi Final. While the legal process takes its course, it would not be appropriate for him to continue in the Contest.

      We don’t know what’s happened other than something involving the performer is being investigated. I can sort of understand the EBU decision to remove him given this.

      It’s just very convenient that he’s not able to participate in the final given the Israeli controversy. What a coincidence, right?

          Best recent example of a coincidence surrounded by shady events: the emergency slide of a Boeing plane falling off and landing near the house of a lawyer currently suing Boeing.

            If they hadn’t cut so many corners, they probably could have made the slide land right on the house. Shortsighted as always.
