Even with the previous voting system we would win with 417 points, ahead of Rybak's 387 ... this really went big!
Bulgaria would have 352 (!)
This year reminds me of 2015 with a big difference of points between the top and bottom half

Should I put this as my new screensaver? Just to wake up, turn on the computer, and get happy for the rest of the day
In fairness, Portugal tried the same trick. The Portugal Jury did not award Bulgaria any points either.

Exactely. The EBU must end this. The Greek-Cypriot thing is already really disgusting, too! But this is not the place for such topic... It's a place for congratulating my dear irmãos portugueses!! ¡Muy bien hecho! Cumprimentos da Espanha!!

I was crying this morning when I was watching it and watching the reprise constantly I'm crying even more! I'm so happy for Portugal!!! I voted for you 15 times and I'm glad Australia gave you 7 points

I think Italy has actually gone under because people haven't understood the meaning of the song.
Portugal, well, I won't listen to it again.

He sounded like a snobbish elitist prick, I for one will not watch next year.

Oh my goodness, I'd forgotten about his preachy speech. He could have surely found a better way to express his joy at winning rather than throwing shade on all of the more showy entries. And no-one can argue that it's because English isn't his first language as he spoke extremely eloquently and in an assured manner - he knew exactly what he was saying, and I agree with Jeansy that it came off as elitist.
Pop music today does not instantly equal disposable and "fast food" - Bulgaria and (dare I say it) Belgium proved that tonight.
But I'm not labouring any point here - Salvador came first with the juries and first with the public vote so the song clearly hit the right note across the board. I just wish it had been used at the climax of an old-faahioned romantic movie rather than in an international song contest as I'd probably have appreciated it much more in that setting.
