June 18, 201213 yr Well the jury got it quite wrong on most counts this year, the only exceptions being Cyprus and Ukraine by the looks of things. How exciting would the final results have been if it was just televoting alone?! I probably would have literally died if it was that close though, so I think the juries saved my life - I wouldn't have been able to take a close finish like that with Loreen involved. France coming last in the televote is not a surprise to me, but I wasn't expecting a last place on a "0 points" scale at all! I thought perhaps the Belgian public would at least give it something! Spain and Italy not doing very well on televoting is worrying though. I really don't get the public's disinterest in Ukraine either, that's probably the biggest surprise for me out of everything we've learned today! UK and Ireland bottom two on jury voting is a complete joke really, but I did hear that Engelbert's jury rehearsal was pretty bad apparantly. Glad they didn't rate the Turkish entry too though! I KNEW Netherlands would have made it on televoting, what a massive shame! Also surprised Iceland wouldn't have made it on jury voting alone, but then the Israeli entry was pretty good too. The juries liking Georgia is a major :manson:, thank goodness the public saw sense and voted it into LAST place. Poor old Belgium and their non-song, not surprised they finished bottom in the first semi final's public vote, I was slightly expecting them to get the 0 points this year tbh.
June 18, 201213 yr Juries totally killed Romania, and they rated Albania and Russia far too well... At least they put Turkey in its deserved place, shame it didnt reflect on the combined results... Cyprus doing better with juries was a surprise, just like Germany doing better with televotes. Poor Anggun! :(
June 18, 201213 yr Lots of surprises there! :o Engelbert did better with the televotes than the juries! And it was the juries they were banking on, but I'm glad they saw it for what it was a very out of date ballad! Ivi did better with the juries than the televotes! It looks like the juries were right when it comes to biggest post-contest hits! Anggun got nil-points with the televotes! :o Poor Elena was destroyed by the juries :( Joan actually qualifying with the televotes! It shows the Netherlands can qualify if they can get the juries on their side too! Eva struggled with the juries! Can't believe they only rated her 14th :o Ukraine 17th in the semi televoting! And to think I was rating it as a potential winner :drama: Poor Iris only got 2 points in the semis! :( That's everything I've gathered from first viewing!
June 18, 201213 yr The juries totally slaughtered Ireland. Uk i was positive would have feared better with the juries than televoting so it is quiet a shock that it is the other way around.
June 18, 201213 yr HUGE SHAME for jury. Last place for United Kingdom and third place for Albania. I don't have any good words about their opinion. Edited June 18, 201213 yr by AlexRange
June 18, 201213 yr HUGE SHAME for jury. Last place for United Kingdom and third place for Albania. I don't have any good words about their opinion. Huge congratulations to the jury!! Albania was one of the best performances of the night and was deservedly rewarded while the UK was just quite boring and too old-fashioned!
June 18, 201213 yr What I can't understand is why the juries rated Nina in a binbag for Croatia in seventh in the second semi final! That was such a nothing of a song!
June 18, 201213 yr Oh um okay, WOW :mellow: - Russia not dead last on juries! - Albania being so high on the televote - Italy doing abysmally in the televote (I knew she'd be more of a jury vote getter but god!) - Spain so low on televotes - Romania crashing with the juries (although I had a feeling since it was a well liked song yet got a bit f***ed over) - UK last with juries! - Anggun getting 0 on the televotes, WHUT? - Woki Mit Deim Pop beating Beautiful Song (although both are cheesy/noveltyish) - San Marino doing not as bad as expected with juries! - Ukraine crashing in the semi 2 televote - Malta doing so well on the jury vote Bloody hell :lol:
June 18, 201213 yr JURY ARSEHOLES! Ireland would've been 10th! :drama: And 4th in their semi! Christ!
June 18, 201213 yr Jedward are slightly surprising, didn't they do the opposite last year, better with the juries? Not so surprised at Romania, wasn't it the rehearsal where she missed a line or something?
June 18, 201213 yr The juries really do like Italy don't they :mellow: Russia were still surprisingly high for the juries! Jedward still pretty popular with the public as well. Albania doing better with the juries doesn't surprise me much, I was surprised the public were that taken in by it :mellow: I'm only sad about Romania getting demoted :( and Cyprus too I guess, although I'm surprised that never looked like a hit at all and Oh dear, if we were trying to appeal more to the juries after Blue failed with them last year, that didn't go so well did it? :heehee:
June 18, 201213 yr Ha at Italy, I knew it would sink in the public vote :lol: Oh LORD at Russia being so close to Loreen on the televoting, I'd have literally had a heart attack up to the last vote. Shame for Romania, really would have liked to have seen Zaleilah in the top ten. And wow at Anggun, would have been a nul pointer under the old system :o Poor Engelbert, not that 21st is much better but at least he got *some* support from the public, the UK always seem to do so badly with the juries, Jade aside...
June 18, 201213 yr Ohh, just noticed, poor Netherlands/Switzerland, would have been through under televoting surprisingly! :( Why did the juries take to Be My Guest so much?
June 18, 201213 yr Juries have just been AWFUL and totally counter effective to their original intention ever since they came in tho? Surprises NOT
June 19, 201213 yr What I can't understand is why the juries rated Nina in a binbag for Croatia in seventh in the second semi final! That was such a nothing of a song! http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4i2egNiym1rpbs3a.gif Nebo was not something outstanding or so, but still was better than loads of songs from final imo. We were so close! If only we had little better performance with some effects and stuff. She wanted simply performance and that cost her definitely. I'm glad to see that juries actually recognized what she wanted, simple performance but grande singing :wub:
June 19, 201213 yr The UK was boring but Albania was atrocious with that screaming banshee I guess the screaming banshee caught people's attention, it did that to me at least. I'm surprised it caught it for the better, but there you have it. I'm happy it was done as I love 'Be My Guest', but I'm baffled by the juries' particular favouring of that, doesn't seem like the sort of thing the jury would back at all. I wish the results were just on televoting now, the results would've been SO much more exciting, and I much prefer the results of the televote only vote to be honest.
June 22, 201213 yr One thing I get from all this is that the juries really aren't the heroes of sanity people portray them to be. Like when people say they're relying on the juries to save their favourite song that the public apparently won't get. There were many cases the public were more sane. (I never thought I would call a public vote sane. :lol:) I don't think anybody was expecting the public vote to be so positive for Albania. Big shame for the Netherlands. :( Edited June 22, 201213 yr by Sabrewulf
June 23, 201213 yr Author Does anybody really still project the juries as heroes of sanity after last year?!
