Why do you still coplain about the 17 0s to Jamala? Without the Juries she wouldnt have won and we had another year without :ua:. Giving 0 to Jamala doesnt make you ukrainophobe, for me it seems like a normal move :lol: Nearly noone remembers the song anymore, it flopped chartwise completely and it got only so many televotes because of Russophobia. Btw. Italy gave 10 Points to Ja. But in the End think what ever you want, you will see that the next good ukrainian Entry (and with good I dont mean Melovin-Level :lol:) will get a fair Treatment.
Not 17... Denmark voted by mistake, so it's 18. When all televoters gave her at least some points (+ 11th in Iceland)? I don't think so. When televoters in some countries that rarely vote for us give 10pts and they still give her 0, it's more than obvious. Later the EBU Director General said she would never let her win :eek: Screw the biased juries and screw the biased EBU.

The same happened with Il Volo as well.. And also partly with Lena and Rybak IIRC.

Where?

This year Rybak won semi 2 from 1st position, and in 2010 Safura performed 1st and won the televote.
I think that as long as there are not too many songs (like 26!), performing 1st is not that disadvantegous.
Ukraine and Kazakhstan can still make it. But i am a bit disappointed that EBU is clearly biased and wants France to win, and kills Kazakhstan's chances. They were supposed to be ranking songs according to betting odds. Kazakhstan is winning on every single poll. Hello?
Netherlands will win televote, mark my words.
Junior songfestival is just too popular in their country and they promote the entry very well within the country. If they won last year with a landslide, this year they will smash the televoting.
Poland is a bit too overrated imho.
Australia might be the dark horse, and Serbia could also be a darkhorse within its own league (finish around 8-10 maybe?)

Was Italy or Germany having a war with Russia at that time? Do they have so many political enemies like we have? Were they discriminated by certain Western broadcasters?

There.

2 faced snake said this before the 2016 final:
"the song refers to a historical fact and Jamala makes reference to a story that happened in her family."


and this in 2017 (fooled by Russian prankers):

:lol:


No matter how many points Darina will receive from the juries I'll still think that she's underestimated.

The Welsh entry is so calm and soothing. I can't stop watching the rehearsal, I feel like I'm in a trance
