May 18, 20196 yr Sergey from Russia I just copped he came 3rd again,i think he will be back hoping for 3rd time lucky.
May 18, 20196 yr Author A little gutting that Sweden beat North Macedonia to the jury victory by 2 points I believe?
May 18, 20196 yr V happy for Duncan, in the end it was a great song by a great vocalist even if it wasn't *quite* my fave despite loving the song. It's just a tad Some other thoughts: - I thought North Macedonia would be helped by the jury but not THAT much!!! It wasn't quite as random as Austria last year, but certainly shook up the voting. - Somehow I'm most annoyed at John Lundvik's 93 televote points, like f***ing HOW :mellow: - Gutted at Kate 9th after I really got caught up in her having a chance to win, I should put it into perspective and think that 2 weeks ago we weren't sure if she'd even Q, but still :( It really feels like no matter what Australia do, they're hindered by being Australia. To an extent it feels like that for Sweden in the televote too, I'm not one of those "it's all political" people but meh. - OUCH at Sisters getting 0 televote, that is just SO bad with this new system!!! Not too great for Michael either but at least he got something. - Norway winning the televote is MAD, in a good way - Agreed on not really feeling that style of votes, it was still tense but I think it kind of robbed KEiiNO of their moment of winning the televote, it put more emphasis on the jury top few again rather than the public vote because you couldn't keep all the numbers in your head to track who was top of the public vote. It kinda fell a bit flat when you see that Tamara and John get less than 100 televote points :lol: It would have been nice for Mahmood and KEiiNO to get a moment, especially the latter as they floundered in the juries to see the zoom up. I think it's better the other way, splitting the jury and televote is already tense anyway I don't think it made me any moreso, or any better, having it like this. It was also pretty cruel to John :/ - Semi results are MAD, Leonora very nearly DNQing but coming 12th? :lol: It was very skewed to semi 2 omg
May 18, 20196 yr Poor Sarah McTernan not even getting 22 points, disaster. I really did love that song :(
May 18, 20196 yr Enjoyed the winning track today, definitely one of the best ones of the night and I can see me playing it again which is more than most years! I didn't entirely love the voting reveal, I preferred it last year when they announced the public votes in reverse order. I don't think the UK deserved to finish last... but they didn't deserve to finish much higher so I can't really complain at that. It's so frustrating that we don't just send songs that are actually representative of the UK music scene.
May 18, 20196 yr I cant see the semi results,where did Ireland place, anywhere but last I hope. Yep last :(
May 18, 20196 yr I cant see the semi results,where did Ireland place, anywhere but last I hope. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurovision_So...19#Semi-final_1 Ireland was last
May 18, 20196 yr Thank you for the link, that's an awful result and our worst ever. A new way to select our entry I think may be coming after that disaster.

May 18, 20196 yr Shocked Finland also came last, I loved their song. Norway coming 7th in the semi and went on to win public vote in the final.
May 18, 20196 yr Author 291 seems quite low for a televote winning score, but then the top 5 are pretty close.
May 18, 20196 yr I am happy that The Netherlands won!! :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo: My Top 5 from this year's Grand Finals were: The Netherlands, France, Switzerland, Cyprus and Belarus. Edited May 18, 20196 yr by buzz_person
