The BBC, a member of the European Broadcasting Union and organizer of the Eurovision Song Contest, said it had received complaints from people who were "unhappy with some aspects of this year's Eurovision Song Contest.

The complaints concerned the tension that arose over the participation of Israeli representative Eden Golan in the song contest, protests by pro-Palestinian activists, the disqualification of the Netherlands' Jost Klein and 0 points for the UK's Olly Alexander. The BBC made an official statement and announced that not everyone liked this year's contest.

"The Eurovision Song Contest continues to be one of the BBC's most popular entertainment programs, attracting millions of viewers. Long organized by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) in conjunction with this year's host broadcaster and other member broadcasters, the competition always features an eclectic range of performances. While we believe that this year's Eurovision has remained within the general expectations for this annual event, we understand that some aspects of the broadcast may not appeal to everyone", they addressed the audience.

The BBC noted that they constantly listen to the opinions of their audience and passed on all the feedback to the teams responsible for broadcasting Eurovision, as well as to the organizers of the contest.

Recall that Dutch musician Joost Klein was excluded from Eurovision 2024 due to an incident that occurred after the second semifinal on May 9, involving one of the members of the production team of the contest. The details of this incident have caused disagreements between the organizers of the music event and the Dutch broadcaster Avrotros. In its statement, Avrotros emphasized that the singer "made a threatening movement towards the camera" but did not touch the cameraman. In its statement, the European Broadcasting Union emphasized that the version of the events by Avrotros, which was widely disseminated on social networks, does not correspond to the eyewitness accounts shared with the organizers and the Swedish police.

Representatives of Lithuania, Ireland and Norway called the atmosphere  in the "delegation bubble", where only artists, their teams and Eurovision staff were allowed, dangerous. The Norwegian participants in the song contest, the band Gåte, told the Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten that they considered withdrawing shortly before the grand final.

The incident surrounding the Dutch representative was an additional challenge for the contest, which already had risks due to Israel's participation. Joost Klein and Israeli singer Eden Golan performed in the second semifinal on May 9. Israel's entry into the final sparked protests by 12,000 pro-Palestinian activists near the contest venue. A few hours before the show in Malmö, thousands of pro-Palestinian and anti-Israeli protesters demanded that Israel be banned from participating in Eurovision and called for a ceasefire in Gaza.
