Did anyone see that Greece was 3rd in jury and 5th in televotes in semi? :eek: I first thought that they've mixed up the columns :lol:

Yes, I'm still waiting for the Cyprus brigade to come and express themselves. There was a bunch of folks (after Eurovision was over) accusing the juries having killed the dance entries of Cypus-Greece-Romania, while now in fact the juries gave these entries HIGHER ranks than the televoters. Isn't it highly ironic??

@escandesc Albania did good in both jury and televoting, so not really suprised for that one :D

at least, she was 8th in televoting, which can be acceptable but 3rd in jury's voting and 5th in combined voting is unacceptable.

Can could not do it. Lena had just a sooo cute accent :D

Lena's having a sooo cute accent doesn't change she couldn't sing that song in English at all...

How did the juries rank Romania's entry higher when it was #7 in televotes and #20 with juries?

I think Turkey and Romania were very underrated with the juries.
I'm glad the juries helped Italy getting into the Top 10, though, I thought Italy would've been higher in the televoting.

How did the juries rank Romania's entry higher when it was #7 in televotes and #20 with juries?

Yes, Romania should be excluded of those. I included it because the bunch of folks I was refering to talked and complained about exactly these 3 (Cyprus, Greece, Romania) being probably ranked lower by the juries.

Well, Greece is a shock at the jury support tbh, it kinda proves how out of touch they are because it was probably one of the most generic of the up-tempo songs... however I think both Cyprus, and especially Romania, were criminally underrated by juries. I mean it's not as if the juries ranked Cyprus much higher than the public anyways? Just a couple of positions differ.

I think we have to stop being mad at either televoting or juries. When there are 26 songs and only 10 sets of points to give, you cannot reward every song as it should be appraised. Only the very best survive this competition and there will always be very good songs at the bottom and mediocre songs up high, because voting is also flawed as we know. If a song is in tenth place in each country's vote, it has a good chance to end up at the bottom. And if another song receives a couple of high points, it ends up with a decent score and place.

And you can be the overall winner by receiving mediocre points from each country. Eurovision is just the aggregation of taste.

I still don't understand why was Belgium so low in both...

Really? I'm actually surprised it ended up so high, but glad the juries didn't favor it (I was afraid they would). It was a snoosefest, very uninspired song.

The splits resultz are so bizarre. But it just shows that the 50/50 televote vs jury is the best solution so far.

If I remember correctly, Hungary was the only country that didn't make the televoters Top 10. But considering they were 11th, that's still a pretty good outcome. And considering that Hungary (to me) is far superior to Switzerland I can't complain :D But shame on the televoters for putting Israel in 16th place, it would have qualified otherwise.

Semi 2 was way too messy. The biggest surprise was Ukraine that got killed by the televote and suprisingly put high in the jury's ranking. This proves one thing though. It doesn't matter that countries like Ukraine have a 100% qualification quota, any song/country can tank, so hopefully the whining about "Country A always qualifies, no matter what they send, not fair". And I love that the juries put Norway in last place, too bad it wasn't enough, it sure was (along with Montenegro) the weakest song of this year. Jury's love for Georgia is strange and I certainly don't agree with that. But I'm glad they stopped Bulgaria's horrendous song from advancing. Big mess overall but the results evened things out. Although I'm not very happy that the juries killed the Dutch odds :(

And I knew that Russia almost won the whole thing. Anybody complaining about jury's involvement, think again. Could you imagine that song winning? That would have been horrible. Overall I prefer the juries Top 10 but I don't get why Ukraine was that high up. And Ireland and Greece would have been Top 10 if it was to the televoters....Shocker (not). So it's the mix that really helps and I'm very satisfied with the overall outcome.

If I remember correctly, the Irish jury gave Belgium 12 points. In my opinion, it was the best song of this contest, after The Netherlands.
