That is very interesting. Australia & Austria with the most points but in the final one of the fewest points. Very suspicious. I mean, I KNOW that semi is something completely different and people just vote to push them to the final and then never vote for them in the final but these are exceptions… did we ever have such a huge difference between semi and final? I just does not feel right… again.

Rybak was 1st in the semi 2018 and later ended up.., I don’t remember, like 15th or so but other than that I don’t remember such a difference.

Albania got 12 from ROTW

As they should

 

[heke1988]

Actually tied with Romania, because both got 0 points?

 

[MopManMoss]

6 points for Reiley? The same amount of centuries he has been alive

we did really well in the semi last year and then completely flopped in the final

Malta won their Semi in 2021, and ended up 7th, 14th with the televote and Australia won their semi in 2019 and ended up 9th

 

[Verjamem]

What’s the big difference between LOTL and electric callboy though

Electric Callboy are more melodic.

Actually, "Cha Cha Cha" is suspiciously similar to "We Got The Moves" I would bet my life that if Finland won, we would now have shitstorm about these two songs, as we have this drama every year, 30 minutes after the show. "Tattoo" is found being similar to some Ukrainian tune, but why we didn't know before Loreen won?

 

[Wynnter]

Actually tied with Romania, because both got 0 points?

Well technically the tie breaking rules say that the running order decides the final result if 0 points for both. (IIRC)

Romania performed first, so that leaves San Marino last.

I think you can definitely see this year that running order does matter (look how Norway also did in SF1 vs GF).

Also the SF results are probably more bizarre than usual due to how lopsided the SFs were. None of the Top televote songs were in SF2 so the people had to vote for somethign else?

 

[12Pointsgoto.....]

Belgium won their semi in 2010 I am pretty sure, and they didn't do that well later.

 

[PollyWantsACracker]

2 points from Croatian televote to Sweden

 

[12Pointsgoto.....]

@MopManMoss I admit defeat and I agree that Gustaph deserved his seventh place.

 

[ollibox]

Well, I think both of us are very happy for our Alika doing so well.

Yes of course!
Second thing that's a bit comforting (not fair, but comforting) - Georgia didn't have a chance (wasn't borderline). Contrary to poor Latvia...

With juries. I mean only televote?
