UK televote was won by Israel - Ireland came second - according to Graham Norton on the BBC.

 

[ekzuu]

Absolutely shocked by Norway being in the jury's bottom 3.
And 4 points from the tele

Im not tbh i expected it was fan flop, it just wasnt nice
But congrats to you 3rd place is great achievement for the win

 

[jatojo]

A historically bad Eurovision for the Nordics.

 

[GermanBango]

German public gave 12 to Israel

 

[Andrin]

OMG, we won despite the odds.

 

[ekzuu]

Norway deserved flop imo, hated this song

 

[musicfan]

Europe does not want to rave...

The Austrian song was ok, but it was quite funny with the long pause followed by a single figure audience vote. That was quite a fake out I thought.

 

[Verjamem]

Denmark's televoters gave zero to Norway.

Norway deserved to do muuuuuuuch better.

 

[Jay25]

Thank goodness neither Israel nor Ukraine won.

 

[aef]

Indeed.
Sorry, but that is scandalous.

Why is that?

 

[Loindici]

A historically bad Eurovision for the Nordics.

It was bad bad, but at least we got a nice winner.

THE BAMBIE CROWN IS ON THE STAGE! I REPEAT, THE BAMBIE CROWN IS ON THE STAGE!!!

 

[Zorjan]

Congratulations Switzerland!
I'm not at all happy with the winner, but it could be worse...

I'm shocked to see Norway last though!

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

German public gave 12 to Israel

Same as Italy, and ten to Ukraine... How unpredictable we are...

 

[AlekS]

Congratulations Switzerland!!!
Songwise you were the best, imo.


Very special hug to all Croatians. It's Eurovision, you never know. You can win next year
Congrats with your best position ever!


Slava Ukraini for breaking #2 curse! Very happy with the results, my dream came true, omg!

 

[AliceEsc]

Congratulations Switzerland. I loved your song and Nemo is an awesome performer and a sweetheart.
Croatia was sooo close, another televote winner, and my personal winner, that doesn't win.

 

[Looren]

WE DID IT

WE WON

EUROVISION SURVIVES

EVIL IS DEFEATED

PEACE ON THE WORLD

 

[aef]

I expected a flop, same as with public
