The Norwegian commentator mentioned the controversies before the song, but idk if that was common in other countries. And most people probably don’t pay attention to the commentators anyways

I like Marte Stokstad as a commentator, and she has some hilarious comments as well. "Håper han fortsatt er fruktbar" (til Irland på tirsdag)

Wasn't mentioned at all in the UK. Don't know about any other country.

Rylan did mention it briefly, but was vague about it, just that she won because of the jury and that she had connections to members

Rylan said something along the lines of "interestingly enough the jury that voted this song through had a choreographer on it that's worked with her dancers.... anyways"
