I'm glad you thought so Mrm

I could tell the audience there really appreciated her. It felt really electric when she was performing. It's just such a shame how the results have gone. I have a feeling the jury might have damaged her position.. though from the video of the jury rehearsal, I thought she sounded good there too. I'm sad for Bonnie

Rainywoods, I appreciate you a lot, but I can't believe ( no phun intended) you blame the jury for her bad performance. I think she was looking out for a zero.

Well every other bugger does it, Russia, Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Sweden, Iceland, Denmark, etc, etc!!!!! The phrase if you cant beat em join em came to mind so I started dialling for our beloved neighbours!!!

Hahahahahah

 

[MyHeartIsYours]

The Guardian's saying that we need to have a new way of selection like Melodifestivalen! YES PLZZZZZZZZZZ

That's fine, you can vote for your neighbours, just don't go off on one next time the Soviets, Balkans and Scandinavians all vote for each other. No one has the moral high ground here.

I honestly think her performance went very well tonight (besides the first couple of opening lines). It felt great watching it on tv and she seemed to get one of the biggest receptions besides Denmark. I have a feeling (as the jury likes voices), Bonnie's rough and gravelly voice didn't appeal to them. It's just a guess but we'll find out soon. It's just a shame because it was clear this was really enjoyed in the hall.

We do because we dont vote for our neighbours - 1 was given to Ireland!!! We vote for the MUSIC. Is it too hard for everyone else to do the same? Or do you consider it fun being able to accurately predict 30/39 8, 10 and 12 scores??!

I'm glad that the press are taking fault with the BBC choosing entries that simply aren't good enough.

Political arguments are older than Engelbert and Bonnie put together.

Someone in my house pointed out that the big five should start voting for each other and creating a bloc of their own since no one else seems to be voting for us (besides Italy).

Also yes please to a new system, i can't see how the BBC can seriously think about an internal selection again when the last few have failed so badly.

 

[Mrm]

@ RainyWoods

Yeah she was so popular in Arena..and everybody liked her..but you should also know that there were a lot of UK fans in Arena, I was sitting next to one man from London, he was alone but so nice, kind and humble, we talked a bit....he couldn't see scoreboards well, so I was reading some points to him.. He was pissed with results for the UK and we were guessing how will vote each country, together..

 

[angry]

WE vote for music... well, I voted for music too. I voted for Belgium, Italy, Malta and France. If you had a nice performance I would have voted for you too, as being everyone else.

Halleluja. Your country has and had so much good music, maybe the best in the world. Just take Esc serious and it can be London 2015. (i"m looking forward to that)

Belgium was definitely the weakest one live tonight, this singer cant't sing to save his life..my ears were bleeding..

 

[angry]

MRM we all have different taste, if it was me than Anouk would be crownd queen of the world,but i also know it is not to everyones taste. Fact is that we send the best we had, Can you honestly say the same?

 

[aletem]

Hmm, I felt it was a bit underwhelming. She sang okay, but nowhere to what she could do. Regardless, I still believe this was underrated! She deserved a better placement!

 

[eugoose]

I think a lot of countries did want to vote for Bonnie, it's just that political voting takes precedence. If you take away all the block votes, Bonnie would've probably ended up between 12th-16th. Armenia, Georgia and Belarus aren't in front of Bonnie because they're better songs...

I do not speak about taste at all but about vocal qualities..Anouk was great live, while Belgian "singer" was simple horrible live..as simple as that..

Good night!
