Tried to find a clip of Aneurin speaking Welsh…wasn’t expecting to find this.
I didn’t know he tried to represent Wales in the European Song Contest back in 2002! 🏴🎤

NO ISRAEL IN EUROVISION
TO THE EBU: 200 MILLION PEOPLE ARE WATCHING
Do not let this slide, do not let this be ignored. Israeli aggression to Palestine may have been something your viewers could miss or ignore in the past, but everyone is aware. Everyone is watching. Make it loud and clear that an apartheid state carrying out an ethnic cleansing has no right or honor to compete in Eurovision.
REMINDER: IF YOU LIVE IN A EUROVISION-COMPETING COUNTRY, MAKE IT LOUD AND OBVIOUS TO YOUR BROADCASTER THAT ISRAEL HAS NO PLACE IN THIS CONTEST.
Just like we held Russia accountable for their crimes against Ukraine in 2022, we need to do the same for 2024. Please spread and amplify this message.

It has come to my attention that calling Eurovision "ESC" for short is not something everyone does. I need to know if I exist in a bubble, so:
pls if you wanna also, if you don't do it, provide in the tags if you've even heard of people calling it ESC before
also i thought it might be a tumblr thing and not a german thing but we'll see. no better place to find out than here

I hope this performance and all the drama leading up to it finally convinces my country to finally start sending FUN people again instead of boring depressing ballads

Analysing the abbreviation "ESC" further.
Two weeks ago I asked both Germans and Non-Germans if they call Eurovision "ESC"
The answer was divided: of the 'ESC'-users, about half were Germans and half weren't. About 40% of Non-Germans who voted didn't know or use the term, whether online or irl. Curiously, there was almost no German (1.2%) that didn't use the abbreviation at all.
However,
in my first poll I failed to:
a) make a difference between Germans and people from German-speaking countries (like Austria and Switzerland for example).
b) specify if the usage is online/on tumblr or irl.
c) account for people from countries where the event usually isn't called "Eurovision Song Contest" (Songfestival, (Euro)viisut, Grand Prix, Eurovisie, etc)
So this time I tried to specify better.
There's also further questions you can answer in the tags:
if you use the 'ESC' abbreviation irl and you’re not german or german-speaking, do you pronounce the letters in your native language or in english (ee-ess-cee)?
non german speakers: have you heard someone say ESC irl in a non tumblr/social media context (other (classic) media, in podcasts, interviews, or conversations you had irl …)?
THANKS FOR VOTING!!!
