Overall: 
Hi User:Sekundenlang, well done on getting this article to WP:GA status. It all looks good to me. I prefer your first hook, which will be intriguing to readers. I couldn’t see exactly where in the BBC link you provided where exactly it confirms the statement. It is possible that the article has changed since you posted it? Perhaps you could bring an excerpt quotation. Thank you. Onceinawhile (talk) 17:35, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
Found a Guardian link:
https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/article/2024/may/14/eurovision-organisers-defend-decision-to-disqualify-joost-klein "It was the first time in Eurovision’s 68-year history that a contestant has been disqualified after the start of the five-day event."
Also, the alternate hook was a reference to the last name-color name connection (Klein).

- Excellent, thank you Sekundenlang. I have marked it as good to go.
- PS - thanks for pointing out the Klein-Klein point - I hadn’t realized, too subtle for me. I think the first hook works very well. Onceinawhile (talk) 19:52, 22 August 2024 (UTC)
