BuzzJack Music Forum _ Eurovision Song Contest _ Buzzvision 2018 // Grand Final Results
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 11:29 AM
Join us for the Buzzvision results right here circa 2PM BST!
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 12:39 PM
We'll be revealing the results in a Countdown format - televote results reveal style - from our 26th place to our Buzzvision Winner. Will we be all "yeah yeah, fire!" and follow the betting odds or will we be striking our own chord? Will we overmark the UK again? Will Saara Aalto have another second place to hang on her trophy cabinet?

So, looks like most people forgot to vote for the Ukrainian vampire king? A sign of thing to come for tonight?
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:02 PM
Omg a bop, that definitely shouldn't be last 
It just missed out in my votes (I think it was 11th for me)
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 01:02 PM
Erm that is NOT a deserving last place!
God we really will just vote for the UK REGARDLESS won't we? Are Phillip Schofield and Terry Wogan Buzzjackers?
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 01:04 PM
Ukraine in my bottom few of the 26 actual finalists so I’m not disappointed about that. I mean it’s fine but doesn’t interest me much. The same as how I feel about the UK entry. If this was our entry I wouldn’t be excited.

TWELVE POINTS TOO MANY!!
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:05 PM
This is already a mess :/ Tu Cancion is gorgeous and I gave it points as well ugh
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 01:05 PM
Ouch for Spain! I thought it was more popular than that. Think I gave it low points.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:08 PM
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:08 PM
Another one of my faves out messT 
I find Storm such a lowkey bop (Tho I thought I was like the only fan of it here but then I only gave it 3pts so it looks like i'm not alone *.*)
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:09 PM
So, turns out that's the UK's lowest placing in a Buzzvision Final for...a while I think!
Posted by: Iz May 12 2018, 01:10 PM
HA! The UK really has messed up this year.
Undeserving last place though, Under The Ladder deserves a lot more than that (and I think it'll get a lot more than that tonight).
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 01:10 PM
Justice for 'Lo Malo' and 'Legends'
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 01:11 PM
I think "Storm" is the least excited I’ve been for a UK entry since Josh Dubovie though tbf Joe & Jake run that close
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:14 PM
22nd ITALY: Ermal Meta e Fabrizio Moro - Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente (17 points)
23rd LATVIA: Laura Rizotto - Funny Girl (17 points)
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 01:16 PM
FLUSH to all of those
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:16 PM
I like Funny Girl/You Let Me Walk Alone but I wouldn't have either much higher than they are
Bye Italy. *.*
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:18 PM
Posted by: Liаm May 12 2018, 01:19 PM
You Let Me Walk Alone should be WAY higher wtf
Italy just missed out on points from me as did Under The Ladder
Storm is about right, it's not like terrible but it's very much like one of those songs that they'd pay for a New Music Friday spot for and you'd listen to half of out of curiosity and never bother again
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:21 PM
How tf did that even get top 20?
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:22 PM
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 01:22 PM
I was about to say that about Latvia getting to the final!
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:26 PM
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:28 PM
Both Portugal and Austria are pretty good <3
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:28 PM
I thought Isaura was credited on this but YouTube seems to think not....?
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:30 PM
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 01:30 PM
She is uncredited, despite writing the song, singing on the song, appears on stage, appears in the music video and is on the single cover :')
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:31 PM
Stones is such a bop and deserved better here (At least we actually had enough taste to get it into the final tho)
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:32 PM
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:33 PM
My 8 pointer 
Completely obsessed with Taboo still 
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:36 PM
Posted by: Iz May 12 2018, 01:38 PM
Stones being beaten by that generic dull deserved DNQ Azerbaijan entry? Aww no.
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner May 12 2018, 01:39 PM
I gave Latvia a third of their points 6 from me. Gutted Switzerland is so low too (4pts)
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:40 PM
Posted by: Liаm May 12 2018, 01:42 PM
Stones robbed AGAIN but yeah at least it's in the final here
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:44 PM
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:45 PM
Was hoping Lost & Found could go top 10 Such a bop and I gave it 6pts <3
How are Poland that high?!?! Probs my least fave of all the revealed songs so far.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:45 PM
So, I think that concludes the "popular DNQs" midtable section of the scoreboard - the two unlucky countries who are both tied and just outside our top 10 coming up next!
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:47 PM
Such a bop and I gave it 6pts <3How are Poland that high?!?! Probs my least fave of all the revealed songs so far.
Both Dan AND Cody voted in this, that should go some of the way to explaining their scores.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:50 PM
12th HUNGARY: AWS - Viszlát Nyár (50 points)
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:52 PM
So, that means BuzzJack's top 10, in alphabetical order, is as follows:
Australia
Bulgaria
Cyprus
Czech Republic
Finland
France
Israel
Moldova
Slovenia
Sweden
Posted by: Iz May 12 2018, 01:52 PM
Two sad misses just outside the top 10 but I am really quite proud that a song like Hungary can muscle its way into the top half of the Buzzvision final 
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 01:52 PM
WHAT at La Forza missing the top 10 
Bye Hungary tho *.*
Saara/Jess/Eleni/Netta to slay the top 10 plz. Bulgaria to go out asap also.
Posted by: Iz May 12 2018, 01:56 PM
This is obviously a landslide for Fuego I'd guess, but hopefully Equinox or Benjamin or Saara will put up a good fight as well. Very good top 10 on the whole.
Australia in the top 10 after that weak vocal performance on Thursday... guess some people have their loon glasses firmly on.
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 01:58 PM
Hungary robbed by Estonia...
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 01:58 PM
I can see any of Australia/Cyprus/Finland/Israel getting the kiss of death from Buzzjack.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 01:59 PM
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 02:01 PM
I can see Moldova top 10 tonight. Just love it
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:02 PM
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 02:04 PM
Slovenia bottom 5 tonight probably. 
Posted by: Jerick May 12 2018, 02:04 PM
Let's hope!
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:07 PM
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:14 PM
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:14 PM
69 points lol
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 02:17 PM
Mikolas top 5 tonight. Such energetic song & performance. 
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:18 PM
Posted by: Liаm May 12 2018, 02:18 PM
YAS Australia top 10 *.* Her semi 2 perf really wasn't that bad, ik I'm a "stan" with my loon glasses on but it is one of the best SONGS in this and that's what I based this on. There are some great performances of songs I'm not that fussed on but I'm not going to point songs I don't like. Obv if a performance is like Janet Leon - Hollow levels of tragic I won't be like "this to win" though Plus I am a bit blind yes, becasue Jess is in my top 5 artists ever and that never happens at Eurovision
Surely Fuego will win this? *.* Glad Hvala, Ne made top 10 too, didn't expect that at all.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:19 PM
I feel like 6th is pretty low in these things for Sweden but that is a pretty steep jump up into the top 6.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:24 PM
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 02:24 PM
Perfect top 4 *.*
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 02:25 PM
A fight to the death between the Buzzfaves!
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:30 PM
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 02:32 PM
Not without France it isn’t!
Posted by: Mikee1981 May 12 2018, 02:32 PM
good top 5, I voted for 4 out of the 5 ;-)
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 02:32 PM
Buzzjack always predictable 
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:34 PM
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:35 PM
So It's a death match between FINLAND and CYPRUS for the Buzzvision Crown!
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 02:36 PM
Urgh at Saara ahead of Netta here.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:37 PM
Ladies and Gentlemen, your winner is.....
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 02:38 PM
No kiss of death for Netta *.*
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:43 PM
2nd FINLAND Saara Aalto - Monsters (165 points)
1st CYPRUS Eleni Foureira - Fuego (220 points)
Posted by: AdamAloud May 12 2018, 02:46 PM
omg she actually came 2nd!
Posted by: danG May 12 2018, 02:47 PM
landslide for Cyprus as expected! hopefully that also happens for real tonight.
Posted by: ubɹǝɯbƆ May 12 2018, 02:47 PM
Saara really is the queen of #2 isn’t she :’)
Yasss at Cyprus though. Hope it wins the real thing tonight!
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 02:47 PM
So, the verdict from BuzzJack is that Cyprus, birthplace of Aphrodite and Land of "yeah yeah, FIRE!" is our pick for the winner on Eurovision 2018
Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Buzzvision and don't forget to tune in to the main event tonight! Since 2012 we've yet to vote for the same winner that Europe has also picked, will that tradition stick or is a habit about to be broken? This is all SO EXCITING!
Posted by: UltraReputation May 12 2018, 02:48 PM
Saara coming 2nd again ffs!!! Monsters is my fave Eurovision song of 2018 by far
Yasss at Fuego winning, such a bop and hopefully that'll be repeated tonight *.*
Posted by: Liаm May 12 2018, 02:53 PM
Deserved landslide for SUCH a banger, I love Monsters but it's like 5th or 6th for me so definitely preferred Fuego for the win here.
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 02:54 PM
Why you're not revealing peoples votes?
Posted by: Iz May 12 2018, 02:55 PM
Very good top end! I'd love something similar to that to be the result tonight.
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 03:02 PM
Same here!
I find I hard to believe "Monsters" was my number 1 at one point; it’s nowhere near my top 2 now.
Posted by: LexC May 12 2018, 03:04 PM
I did my best with this reveal, figured this way would be more exciting trying to replicate the televote reveal at the climax of the show. Once we were a few votes in and Cyprus got quite far in the lead and never lost it, I did think this might end up being a bit of a boring reveal so hopefully this was a bit more of a moving and shaking experience.

Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 03:10 PM
Thanks for compiling these Lex 😃
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry May 12 2018, 03:15 PM
Me voting for almost all of the top 10 (Moldova wasn’t far off too!) and the two highest DNQ’s *.*
If I said it once I’m gonna say it a million times: BUZZJACK HAS MORE COMMON SENSE.
#Justice4Poland #Justice4Macedonia
Posted by: Liаm May 12 2018, 03:18 PM
I preferred the reveal this way tbh! The televote format in the actual contest now is much more exciting and this did feel like that. Thanks for doing this Lex!
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner May 12 2018, 03:19 PM
ERIK! Sweetie no
Posted by: Jerick May 12 2018, 03:39 PM
Even Lea dosn't like the song, she said she wrote it in 10 minutes and she can't wait to get home and write better songs.
Posted by: Midge May 12 2018, 03:47 PM
Haha, I loved her in that press conference! I think she was astonished she made it through. Though if she didn’t like it, could she have not written another one for potential submission after winning the NF?
Posted by: Cody💧Slayberry May 12 2018, 04:19 PM
I think Hvala Ne might be the first time I’ve liked a live version better than the studio version
Posted by: 5 Silas Frøkner May 12 2018, 04:29 PM
10 minute songs are not an indication of poor quality. Ugly was written in 10 mins and that's a masterpiece
Posted by: Jason May 12 2018, 07:16 PM

We need to download it?
No thank you.
