US Edition10 acts win a place in the Eurovision final but 5 are sent home as the music contest hots up
- The first semifinal of the 69th Eurovision Song Contest took place on Tuesday in Basel, Switzerland, with 15 countries competing for 10 final spots.
- The event follows a recent tightening of Eurovision’s code of conduct amid tensions over Israel's participation due to its war with Hamas in Gaza.
- Swedish-Speaking Finnish trio KAJ, performing ‘Bara Bada Bastu,’ and Dutch singer Claude with ‘C’est La Vie’ secured places in the final alongside Icelandic, Norwegian, and other finalists.
- With 37 nations competing, 26 will reach Saturday’s grand final including Switzerland as host and the Big Five countries, all while organizers expect protests and have deployed over 1,000 police officers in Basel.
- Eurovision aims to unite through music with its motto 'United by Music' but political divisions, including protests related to Israel’s involvement, continue to challenge the contest’s ideal of neutrality.
