It seems that Dutch song: "Europapa" was predicted as winner a couple of weeks ago, but I am not sure it passed to the final. It has the pro-european theme:

My favorite is Israel 🇮🇱. Just musically. It has nothing to do with the conflict. Armenia, Greece and Georgia were nice as well.

The Netherlands is disqualified from Eurovision finalMay 11, 2024 Joost Klein, who was representing the Netherlands at the European Song Contest, has been disqualified from taking part in the final.
Klein is said to have made threats against a female member of the television team.
“We maintain a zero-tolerance policy towards inappropriate behaviour at our event and are committed to providing a safe and secure working environment for all staff at the contest,” the European Broadcasting Union said in a statement.
“In light of this, Joost Klein’s behaviour towards a team member is deemed in breach of contest rules.”
AvroTros, which organises the Dutch end of the event, said it considered the decision to be out of all proportion and is extremely shocked. “We will come back to this later,” the Dutch public broadcaster said in a social media post.
Earlier it emerged Klein had been questioned by Swedish police about threats he allegedly made against a female member of the television crew. The incident is said to have taken place on Thursday evening and the complaint was made on Friday, the AD said.
The police told reporters that both Klein and the woman who made the complaint have been questioned and the case is now with the public prosecution department, which will decide what should happen next.
That, according to the AD, could take several weeks.
Saturday’s final will now take place with 25 rather than 26 performances.

Dear folks,
Somehow some Dutch people can't control their North West European temper, directness, eccentricity and strange behavior. This is again for me an example of how a talented Dutch person ruins his own chances and behaves improperly towards a fellow human being. A woman in this case. Joost Klein is an idiot, I have no other words for it. To me, as a Dutchman, this is yet another example of how a Dutch person smashes his own glasses due to strangely unacceptable behavior. His behavior cannot be justified. Too bad his good song has no chance of winning because of this behavior. I will watch the Finals of the Eurovision songcontest with great pleasure. That the best woman or man may win. That the best singer may win!
Pieter

Pieter, it is sad if Joost did something stupid. Switzerland got a first place, there was no controversy in this case.
