Three countries have so far threatened to leave the contest.

A wave of frustration has swept through San Marino’s national broadcaster following the disappointing result—last place in the final with the song “Tutta L’Italia” by Gabry Ponte.

Unlike other countries that criticized only the public vote—especially after Israel received high scores—San Marino’s criticism extended to the jury voting as well.

On the one hand, there are zeros, and on the other, there...

The dancers from earlier stages have disappeared, replaced now by two live musicians – one on accordion, the other on...
