Just like with the semi-finals, this is the live thread for the Grand Final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024.
As there is (to my knowledge), no Lemmy equivalent to https://reddit-stream.com/, the best alternative is refreshing the website about once after each song. This should still be okay for now as this community is relatively small.

It comes down to a philosophical disagreement on whether art has inherent/objective qualities or whether it can only be judged from a purely subjective perspective. I strongly lean towards the latter while you and the EBU lean more towards the former. I don’t agree that there truly is a different level of appreciation (perhaps a different method of reaching that appreciation, but just as valid). I think we can only agree to disagree on such a fundamental thing.
What a nice, respectful disagreement to read. Genuinely.
