In this live stream, Toy & Goy make a spirited return to their channel after a long break (since May 2025) to discuss recent developments in the Eurovision world and kick off the 2026 season.
Here is a summary of the key points and thoughts shared during the video:
The “Drama Vision” Slogan
The creators lightheartedly acknowledge that the last few years of Eurovision have been so filled with controversy that they’ve dubbed the upcoming season “Drama Vision 2026” [01:15]. They discuss how the contest has shifted from a celebration to something more tense, and they express a desire to “change the frequency” back to positivity [36:18].
Recent Broadcaster Withdrawals
A major topic of discussion is the news that broadcasters from the Netherlands, Spain, Slovenia, and Ireland decided to pull out of the contest.

Toy expresses sadness, not for the political implications, but for the fans in those countries who lose their connection to the event [10:12].
-
Goy respects that the broadcasters “stuck to their guns” regarding their principles, even though it will be disappointing for the viewers [12:07].
Reflections on the Previous Year
-
They reveal they struggled with motivation to create content after the 2025 season because of the “nastiness” and toxicity they saw online [05:47].

New Rules and Participation
-
They discuss the new rule increasing the minimum age of performers to 18 starting in 2027, which they agree with as a way to protect younger artists from the intense pressures of modern Eurovision [34:25].
-
They express excitement over rumors of Kazakhstan and Canada potentially joining the contest, noting “the more the merrier” [37:02].
Personal Updates
