I really wanted to win but is ok as well, congrats

 

[Gitte]

I‘m so happy for juries job on but I’m also questioning their existence like A LOT looking at jury result

Ireland had pretty good vocals and was well performed and produced.

 

[Grinch]

How the hell and qualified???

 

[SirPeterGriffin]

This winner has zero legitimacy. Pseudo profissionals have decided the destiny of this contest, we simply don't matter. How can the juries be so xenophobic against eastern countries? I say this as someone who didn't cared much for the Croatian song but all my support goes to them. Imagine beating a cavalgade of points of political fraudulence and that still isn't enough.

The underdog has been defeated once again. Long live Keiino, Kaarija and Baby Lasagna!

 

[DursunZaman]

I'm not sure if I should be happy that Israel didn't win or sad because now EBU won't have to face the greater scrutiny that would've come from an Israel win?

Either way, I skipped this year so which songs from this year you folks suggest are 'can't miss'?

 

[Chorizo]

RAI!!!!


(But maybe the juries had originally planned to give more points to Israel, and RAI is the unsung hero of the day. Maybe, maybe, maybe. Maybe not...)

 

[goncalovieira]

Yeah. Martin Osterdahl needs to leave tomorrow in the morning. From his hotel and Eurovision scene.
Worst supervisor ever.

 

[soulm8]

Guys! Germany finished 12 wohooo

 

[goncalovieira]

THANK YOU RAI. Love you.

Israel killed themselves with their behavior. I think lots of juries had decided to blank them since they were harassed by Israel's delegation

 

[ollibox]

NEMO broke THE CODE!!!! I'm happy!

 

[Gitte]

Croatia got third in juries, don't forget! He even got a couple of 12's. For a rockish song, that is the juries being very kind. For the type of entry.

 

[jatojo]

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

Benidorm has become the most vulgar national contest of them all. I think they should calm down a little. Just because many LGBTQ+ persons like the contest doesn't mean that the show must contain so much bad taste as we've seen in recent years.

 

[gigi_copp3]

Europapa

A huge hit (maybe, or just threats)

 

[DursunZaman]

Europapa

I don't think EBU would agree that it's 'can't miss' ....

Added to my list.

Ireland had pretty good vocals and was well performed and produced.

The „song“ though?

 

[SpiritofKeiino]

I said months ago that Switzerland was NOT a winning song

Never have I been so happy to be proven wrong, on anything.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

THANK YOU RAI. Love you.

Always ready to spice things up, our dear RAI!

 

[Gitte]

The „song“ though?

What about it, it is great?
