Russian Jury Voting

[DutchESC]

Wow, look how "professional" the Russian jury voting goes.
Really? And these so called juries determine 50% of the votes. :shock:

I hope this video will lead to some changes regarding the jury voting or maybe it's just Russia who is being unprofessional...

This is just a final proof of what I thought about juries. Get them OUT. Or just change the whole concept.

Seriously now, I hope EBU gets to know about this, jury should be disqualified. They also revealed full and performances which is forbidden.

And also "wooooooo" at the fireworks from Armenia???? Is that how a professional jury acts and votes? Music experts!? I better not even comment the mobile phone guy and the talking during the most of performance. It seems to me like Russian jury 12 is mostly confirmed. And yet the Azerbaijani jury will place the exact same song dead last (ok, they changed the concept this year so we probably won't know about that).

It's not just Russia.


jury:

Note the guy on the mobile phone. Should also get disqualified.

Are they just plain stupid for posting this online?

A huge dissapointment but I knew this was reality.

Uhm is anyone actually surprised by that? We knew that Armenia is going to get 24 points from Russia in the moment the allocation draw took part.

 

[popavapeur]

i'm quite sure they almost all do this, just we can't see it.
btw the french guy is using his phone during France's performance, that's a lesser issue than doing it during the "real" part of the show. But we don't know if he did that with others countries as well and that might be a problem

What a horrible bit of unprofessionalism. How awful. Ridiculously terrible.

xshifty

So the Armenian performance is a little bit seizure-inducing in the leadup to the chorus; I can anticipate it being received exceptionally well. I wasn't overly fond of how many crowd shots there were in the Dutch one; it took the focus off of what I like about the song, which is its sincerity.

They shouldn't even be together in a room, they should vote in separate rooms. If I remember correctly, a member of the Spanish jury revealed the Netherlands as their favourite in 2014 just after the jury rehearsal on twitter and posted a photo of them as if they were at home casually viewing.

 

[GermanBango]

The funny thing is that they look super bored and not interested at all while we fans would actually kill someone just to be in their position.

is there a way to save Periscope videos since I'm sure this will be taken down soon.

 

[Chorizo]

If the "professionalism" of the Russian jury is representative, I can see Russia actually winning.

It looks like the jury system is a joke that needs to be reformed right after this year's contest.
Maybe Björkman should have focused on the dreadful way the jury system works instead of only focusing on how to present the outcome, no matter how it is achieved.

Apparently even Bosnian and Croatian top 2 leaked.

I wouldn't really take this as granted as it's just a comment from a Croatian ESC webpage.

But if it's true, jury gave to . , .

[Leydan]

Wow so much scandal tonight.

I hope the full results are leaked somewhere now for extra hotness to this scandal.

 

[GermanBango]

So Russia most likely won the Juries ... amaaaaazing
The biggest scandal: 0 points from to

Overview about the points we (supposedly) know:
Armenia (24) - 12 from Russia, 12 from Croatia
Russia (20) - 10 from Croatia, 10 from Bosnia
Croatia (12) - from Bosnia
Montenegro (4) - 2 from Bosnia, 2 from Croatia

 

[AlekS]

"I have Armenian husband. I support Armenians" (c)

Awesome voting criterias. And people were raving about biased televoters

 

[popavapeur]

most interesting is that Russia is not the if it's true. So the performance plays but not that much. Of course having 10 everywhere will make them win anyway but not by a landslide. So exciting results to come

At least, if that's correct, jury has proven that not all the juries are voting for their neighbours and giving their points blindly. Even if Ana Rucner is from Croatia and the song is sung in Bosnian.
Once again, if this is all true because it does come as very unreliable. It was just a comment. I could have spread a lie that gave their to as well.
