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'?

I feel since the EBU notes that Israel broke several codes of conduct, we'll have to see what the Reference/EBU will do regarding them. I'm still thinking the extreme activitst fans wouldn't let this slide, but who knows?

And please, can we break the Moroccanoil sponsorship? I want to see "Presented by Bailey's" next year.

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.

The melodicity I thought was variable, parts like the 'uh-oh-oh' not so good. But he did carry the song well. I'd say the same for Marina Satti as I guess as that song was held together quite well considering the changes. But Nemo has a more dramatic sound and that has clearly done well at times for the Swiss broadcaster in recent years.

I am so thrilled with the winner. First time the country I voted for has won since 2017. And hugely happy for Bambi's 6th place.
On the other hand, Norway didn't deserve last, even if it wasn't my favourite song, and the 0 for Olly Alexander in the televote is a pretty devastating result for the UK moving forward - we're going to have a lot more trouble getting big names to come forward now.

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

The juries didn't have any contact with the delegations at all. I think it's more likely that they were afraid of backlash from the pro-Palestinian supporters if their name was associated with giving points to Israel.

Loreen was hated for being 2nd in the Televoting.
If there are no Double-Standards, Nemo will get even worse Treatment.

15% odds was not very low btw, Latvia (yes, them again) won with 3% when I was a kid back in... 02. Look. EBU messed up the win from Croatia and fucked Israel heavy along with the chaos this week. I . RAI, EBU and the Dutch situation handling caused a few more juries to switch to Switzerland.
I had 7 out of 10 correct (Jury vote, top 3, top 5, top 10, Sweden best Nordic, Croatia best balti, Gay sauna last), so, my mortgage is safe! Enough to go to Bern next year!

Congrats to Nemo!! xcheer they're so ridiculously talented and performed so well. And their reactions were adorable!

Also, congrats to Croatia - actually winning the televote over Israel, freaking incredible!

I gotta admit tho, I'm a little disappointed for Croatia - they were so close. And in general, I don't like it if the jury decides the winner so clearly, the public vote barely mattered. And it was the same last year. Feels like I might as well save my money and not vote, because the jury decides everything anyway.

Also, Norway last? Europe, answer for your crimes xangry

Congratulations Switzerland, its a great song performed wonderfully. I am sure this will be a popular song this year.
Sad for Croatia but great job, I hoped to see Eurovision live next year.
And I would like to congratulate juries for stopping the potential catastrophy.
Obviously lobbying and money can take you high but maybe not at the top.

I wouldn't expect much tbh. Feels like it's more likely that they would withdraw themselves rather than being punished by EBU.
