Why on Earth is this on HN.

There is a load of hits for "Eurovision" in the search... Not much of an Eurovision guy myself, but it's definitely been discussed before.

Why not? It’s uplifting and interesting.

The war isn't on topic, Eurovision isn't, and the Netherlands is the fifth country or so to say this. And it's just something in the news, not an interesting analysis or so.

Really nothing HN-like here, it seems to me?
