NEXT ESC IS GONNA BE EXPENSIVE YALL

I can vision Switzerland not putting any LEDs on the stage

 

[Etanna]

I was considering going to Eurovision if it were in Croatia but I think I'll skip Switzerland lol I'm too poor for that

 

[Biste]

HE BROKE THE FUCKING TROPHY

 

[Loindici]

GURL NEMO BROKE THE GLASS MIC

 

[musicfan]

The biggest cheer in the audience was whenever Israel got overtaken.

 

[Etanna]

so it turns out it is Nemo who eventually did something never done before on stage huh

 

[0scar]

So even the trophy was of poor quality this year's Eurovision? Well that fits

 

[aef]

@aef Viva la France lol hahahha

Yes but I’m happy that he didn’t win after all.

 

[Ausar Vandermark]

Well said... the ESC is expected to live up to it's promise. And after this year, they have some things to work on. But I am so happy with Switzerland coming in as our winners.

 

[Kev4000]

I still cant believe my country in the left half.

 

[kaarendew]

Congratulation to Switzerland! The only song I’ve listened to in this competition (Googled the performance just now, got goosebumps). A worthy winner, and always happy for a country to get anothee win after so long.

I know Croatia was a heavy favourite and I hope they one day will be able to win it. They are always a favourite of mine (Croatia 1999 is still my all time favourite song).

 

[Sabrewulf238]

Sad for Croatia considering it would have been their first win, though I slightly prefer Switzerlands song so I'm still really really happy to see them win. (It was my third fav after Ireland and Portugal.)

 

[GermanBango]

We survived. I love you all my dear friends from all over the world. I am so so happy.

 

[cassio]

Germany well deserved and Switzerland a good winner

 

[aef]

receiving even less televoting points than last year and now from 26th position is quite iconic actually. I mean I didn’t expect much but I did not expect that hahaha

 

[gigi_copp3]

I think Israel is no more a problem since in their year of maximum political momentum they just got 5th place

 

[Etanna]

which page is the one on which the split results usually appear first? I always forget

 

[aef]

I‘m actually happy for , the song was very beige once again but his vocals were great so it’s deserved not to be bottom 5 again.

 

[Wynnter]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY

MY NUMBER ONE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

 

[Gitte]

Switzerland's last win was in 1988, when croatia as we know it was still part of yugoslavia, so tbf switzerland's previous win is a country's existence ago as well.
