Eurovision 2024: The EBU hid booing during Israel's performance by adding fake applause (REACTION)

Опубликовано 15 мая 2024, 17:45

Booing was a major theme of Eurovision 2024 in Malmö. The crowds booed both Israel's Eden Golan and Executive Supervisor Martin Österdahl (presumably over Joost Klein's disqualification). And while the booing of the Eurovision boss came through the TV loud and clear, producers used anti-booing technology and fake applause at the beginning and end of Israel's performance in Semi-Final 2 and the grand final.

Now officials from European broadcasters have complained. Dutch broadcaster AVROTROS says "when a musician performs you should always show what it does to the audience.” And Nicolau Santos from Portugal's RTP said: “For an organization like the EBU, and for an organization like RTP and the European public media service whose flag is the fight against fake news, misinformation, and information manipulation, it is unacceptable that this is possible. Using this method distorts reality.”
