Congrats Ukraine! You deserve it!
I supported juries for a long time, but seeing how they're screwing us over and over again I say get rid of them! How diverse can the taste of the juries and regular people be if one places Poland 2nd last and the other one places Poland 3rd best?
Oh, and hooray for Australia not winning. I don't wanna watch ESC live next year in the morning Just hoping Ukraine will be able to host.

This is seriously my favourite winner from the past ten years. Jamala's performance brought tears to my eyes - this is a great moment for Europe. #ComeTogether

This is officially the most unusual winner EVER

I am not a fan of the song but I really don't mind that it won as it is really unexpected and ESC always needs to change and move forward.

Loved this voting, it was great, interesting, exciting.

We came in 4th from the bottom...well, I guess what's most important is that we were in the final after so long
Thanks to everyone who voted for !

Jamala's performance brought tears to my eyes.

Yes. Yes. It's really that strong. It's like a force that pushes through your body. Almost impossible to explain, it's just there. Do you know why? Because it's real. This is a song from deep inside the heart.

I like this new voting system. Loving the disparity between the juries and the televote. I'm guessing 1944 isn't going to bother the pop charts, but it's an honest, if a little overwrought song, very well performed. I didn't like it much, but clearly I'm out of step with the juries and televoters... no change there then!

I felt like the juries evened things out. They were fair to some counties and unfair to others. Likewise, the voting public was extremely generous to some counties that were surprising.

Congrats Ukraine! Very beautiful performance and a well deserved victory.

Shame to see Croatia do so poorly, I voted for them six times. (and once each for Ukraine and Georgia)

Re: ESC United LIVE from Stockholm - TONIGHT: EUROVISION 2016 (DISCUSSION THREAD)

I'm really happy for Ukraine and Jamala, but also

a) It would have been funny to see Europe lose Eurovision
b) Get ready 200% more Verka Serduchka next year
