The good result for is very surprising

 

[Smudy]

NEXT ESC IS GONNA BE EXPENSIVE YALL

Countries will withdraw after all y'all

 

[Citelis]

Well it's not the first winner I don't like and probablynot the last.
Congratulations anyway.

Sorry, but too many Ukraine people living around Europe nowadays, their vote will always be much better… but oh well.

 

[Loindici]

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

They still are. The delegation (and the fans) has been very unprofessional towards other contestants and fans during this year's shows.

 

[jatojo]

So it was Norway that pushed Denmark out of the semi? Let's see later. I could imagine Denmark wasn't even close to qualifying.

 

[Wynnter]

ALSO nooooooo Norway........


Happy about Finland getting only ~30 tele points though......

 

[Leydan]

Awful winner, but congrats I guess

 

[Loindici]

I just want to say thank you juries for appreciating iolanda, Portugal got another top 10 in their hands now.

 

[jatojo]

Sorry, but too many Ukraine people living around Europe nowadays, their vote will always be much better… but oh well.

But Ukraine has managed to bring good songs year after year. Their winning song was definitely helped by "pity", but there hasn't been a bad Ukrainian entry recently.

 

[goncalovieira]

Expensive, but neutral. Congrats, Switzerland. Best performance of the night.
Iolanda, my love. I am so proud. From 12th in the odds to pass through the final till the 10th place in the final.
Gosh, wave your nails, babe.

 

[musicfan]

Gåte - Ulveham will always be one of the winners this year for me, placings don't mean that much.

 

[Andrin]

I am so proud of Nemo.

Such a difficult entry, but so amazingly performed.

Lyrics complexity.

Staging.

Melodicity.

Everything was there.

Except the outift. I still think they could do better.

 

[Gitte]

Switzerland was my personal fave, but would've been happy with croatia as well, especially as it might mean more participants next year, and I loved our witch of course.

 

[soulm8]

But Ukraine has managed to bring good songs year after year. Their winning song was definitely helped by "pity", but there hasn't been a bad Ukrainian entry recently.

Never said bad songs, just their diaspora is something that gonna put them always top 5.

 

[Loindici]

Sorry, but too many Ukraine people living around Europe nowadays, their vote will always be much better… but oh well.

Well, you're not wrong. At least they always bring a solid package every year.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Congrats to Nemo and Switzerland, well deserved!

Congrats to BL Always achieving an historical win for his country.

Congrats to Jerry and Alyona for their incredible effort from spot no.2.

Congrats to Slimane for delievering emotions.

Congrats to the witch Bambie, delievering the best Ireland has ever achieved in the last 20 years of competition.

[jatojo]

HE BROKE THE FUCKING TROPHY

.. and the code.

 

[goncalovieira]

And Spain... you need to change. Your music scene is great. Probably the best in Europe nowadays.
