I got a feeling that this year's Eurovision will go down in history as the worst of all time.

In a few years when we talk about which year was the worst most people will say 2019 because of that Madonna desaster and the voting scandal.

Before the final hour and the aftermath I'd say it was an on average show, but then it went down: Voting time was too long and it felt it was all about making money instead of giving viewers more time to vote. Running time for the whole show was too long, for the West European countries it might be okay, but for the rest it's too late. If I'd live in East Europe I'd tape next year's final because I wouldn't spent the whole night just watching endless interval acts until the showdown starts.

Looking back Madonna was the best of the worst, because her performance was kind of funny, in a bad way, of course. The hype about her during the whole event was over the top.

To be honest I'm getting sick of Jon Ola Sand. He's been Eurovision's Executive Supervisor for the whole decade and it's time to bring in someone new with fresh ideas.

I'd recommend you rewatch the 2004 and 2011 shows, love.
