I can't believe you're actually thinking this is a good idea. read the article. it's simply out of touch to even think about agreeing to perform there (as a non contestant). people already protested it months ago, including the frontman of pink floyd. what do you think will happen when we're getting closer to eurovision? The people who support this arent doing their research SMH. worst idea ever. hopefully M is not as out of touch Completely agreed, I know Madonna's been a huge admirer of Israel in the past but really thought she'd shift gears with everything happening in the past few years. Her performance there would be incredibly disappointing from a personal and human rights perspective... Let's not forget what happened with Lana Del Rey when she was slated to perform at a festival in Israel and got dragged through the mud until she cancelled... I'm really hoping this news isn't accurate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really hoping this news isn't accurate. Eurovision has something in common: is about celebrating music. Politics are FORBIDDEN in the show (that's why Ukranian entry that won was so critisised). It would be absurd to have any backslash about Eurovision because ALL THE ARTISTS from ALL THE European Broadcasting Televisions will be there. Nobody is doing any boycott to the show, no matter if any embassy is moved to Jerusalem or even if something happened there. It is not the first time it takes place in Israel either. But anyway, I doubt this rumour will be true, it is not the first time we talk about it since Timberlake's performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iconic Fetus Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 A lot of artist have canceled dates in Israel, Lorde and Lana last year and more, I’m not sure if it would be a good idea, yes at the end of the day nobody would care if she performs there but 1% of the population but still it will be bad if a lot of artist canceled and she did it. But it needs to be taken in consideration that the program choose Israel so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On paper yes, but it's also the same contest that banned the Palestinian flag from ever being flown in the competition so it's really hard to differentiate it from politics. Having it be hosted in Israel this year just amplifies their erasure of Palestinians Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, I really doubt that it will happen so it is not use to argue this But mark my words, when Eurovision comes there will be no comment on all those things and the event will be as bright and joyful as it has always been.

Acediace Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 Madonna performed in Israel before Beside her many artists performed here - Radiohead, red hot chili peppers, gaga , justin Timberlake, biber, bon Jovi, Metallica, Mariah Carey, alanis morrisette rihanna......... None of the above ever recived backlash for that. Sure there are always those who try to make artists cancel their performances, many times they succeed But it's about music or politics? Boycotting a country is boycotting your crowd not the government , they don't give a fuck. I wish she would would perform here again in Israel whether it will be for this stupid Eurovision or part of a tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparks Posted January 15, 2019 Share Posted January 15, 2019 (edited) I think it's fucking time to reveal at least the name of the album or single, c´mon, she is punishing us hard for the mana and rebel heart leaks this time. We've been waiting more than a year with the fucking SOON SOON SOON and nothing happens, i'm so tired of this game. When you gives nothing to people people lose interest.

I guess I would be able to be ok with it knowing other artists will probably follow later and it may become more common.. the gays would love it.. BUT, I just can't ignore the massive israel issue. Like I said, if she wouldve done it last year in portugal (some of her portuguese musican friends even performed, like Dino), it wouldve been so fitting for the new album. This year? just look at the huge scandal when little pop girls like lorde and others get just for playing an Israeli concert, imagine the backlash (for years to come) when M does eurovision.. she'll be linked to being in israeli supporter forever.. I just dont see this being in her favour..I dont want anything to take way or ruin madonna and her album. sorry if I sound whiny.. I just really hope she doesnt do that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
