German public gave 12 to Israel

Dutch public too. Right-wing parties had rallied their followers to vote for Israel. And I doubt many other people wanted to vote after the whole Joost situation.

I love juries again what a rollercoaster

 

[Biste]

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.

That was due technical issues. Georgia was still being on screen instead of transitioning to Austria. Not at all to build suspense. You could see the hosts actually wanted to call out the point but were then told to wait.
