There was unfortunately plenty of controversy long before a note was sung during the 2024 Eurovision Song Contest. People had begun protesting, numbering in the thousands, earlier in the week before the contest began May 7th outside the venue, Malmö Arena in host country, Sweden over Israel’s participation due to their actions in Gaza. And then during the contest, the Netherlands’ contestant, Joost Klein was disqualified and sent home, over allegations of intimidation against a production crew member were made.
But despite all of this, the show went on and there was a winner: Switzerland’s Nemo won for their song "The Code". Baby Lasagna of Croatia was in second place with their song, "Rim Tim Tagi Dim" and Alyona Alyona and Jerry Heil of Ukraine with "Teresa & Maria" came in third. Thirty-seven countries participated in this year's contest, with Luxembourg competing for the first time since 1993, while Romania opted not to participate after doing so last year.
