The 15th place does sting and does not. It's so close to Top 10 like never, and at the same time so obviously killed by the running order.

Well, looking at the final scores I was right that the final result would be closer than people were expecting. Whilst I'm not a fan of the winner it is still a bloody good song sung bloody well.

Damn, I predicted the final points correctly, and the explanation as well. Finland has been done dirty. Nah really. If the eastern European countries ever want to win again without politics, they need to kill the big 5 and invent truly random running order. The juries, just like with Keiino hijacked the result. No offence. Well done Loreen.

Look, I wanted Finland to win too, but lets be honest. A lot of people voted for Sweden apparently, so I'm not going to complain to much. I can see why you can say that Loreen's song has more quality if we're talking about radio friendliness and quality of the singing. So I can't be to angry about it. Also great that Finland and Sweden have given 12 points to each other with the juries.

I thought the same... Juries have Italy, Estonia and Lithuania high on their list, so vocal capabilities give you a boost with the Juries... Actually glad for Marco, Alika and Monika because their vocal were among the best in the competition, to be honest.
These aren't entrance exams to a singing school. They should judge the whole package, not just technical singing expertise

I would say that we also were a victim of the :se: :fi: battle… Many people might have used all their votes for either of them instead of spreading them more, of which we might have profited…
You deserved better public vote result. But you were screwed by performing first:(.

It's just too obvious here. Loreen is still second in televote, though, which is a plus for her win, but the juries really made things unexciting with how discrepant they are.

It feels like watching a show where your main character is just too OP that no meaningful development actually occurs in the storyline.

One more thing to add: As pleasing as Loreen gets that 243 points, people MADLY wanted Kaarija to win based on that reaction to Kaarija's votes. It's an okay ending, but clearly not going to be the storyline people liked. Loreen is THE first two-time winner of the modern times, the first women to do so, but that's it.

Love how people are acting as if she was like 26th with the public. Calm your bewbs.
Again: All countries agreed to the rules when the entered the competition. Now suck it up and live with it. No need to shame the artists.
