May 14, 20223 yr I think Laura definitely had to lie down, her last commentary before she disappeared was all over the place, like she was majorly pissed!
May 14, 20223 yr I’m sure he’s shitting himself :lol: Can’t imagine Eurovision is something he looks forward to! He has literally recalled the Belorusian ambassador over Eurovision votes before :lol:
May 14, 20223 yr 93,8% of the maximum available televote It’s a shame we couldn’t win but to be fair, if Ukraine hadn’t received all the points, I think we would have finished lower as they would have went to other counties instead of us. Yeah Spain probably would have won in that case. They had a much stronger televote than us.
May 14, 20223 yr It's a messy finish and dragged out, they really do need to look at ways to trim the show back its almost a 4 and a half hr show.
May 14, 20223 yr Shook that Chanel did better on juries than televote! Spain were 3rd on the jury and on the televote, and notably behind Ukraine on the televote but not the jury. It's worth noting that Ukraine's enormous haul on the televote will have suppressed every one else's figures. With a less extreme result for the televote winner, I'm confident that Spain would have gained more points from the televote than from the jury.
May 14, 20223 yr I’m sure he’s shitting himself :lol: Can’t imagine Eurovision is something he looks forward to! Ukraine win won't be announced on Russia TV / social media probably. :lol:
May 14, 20223 yr I was completely not paying attention to the rest of the scoreboard throughout that as my heart was in my mouth, but Ukraine is a wonderful winner, was my 2nd favourite and it may have always been obvious, but it was really deserved whatever the circumstances (and especially so after SHUM missed out). Great to see Serbia and Moldova do really well too as they were quite clear standouts. France are far too low, that was a really distinctive song and a change from their usual style.
May 14, 20223 yr Having such a bad song win is eh, but justice for Ukraine, the true winner of 2021, for not winning last year, and a big show of support for them defending Europe vs Putin single-handedly.
May 14, 20223 yr This result really throws into sharp focus how crap our entries have been over the last god knows how many years. Europe were there for us with the right song/performer, we just never had it <3 I hope this has reinvigorated the whole UK approach to Eurovision and the BBC continue along this path, I’m sure it will awaken the interest of a lot of artists now because Sam is clearly going to have a massive career boost from this across the continent. But yeah, Ukraine were unstoppable and good for them. Do the hosting rights fall to the second placed country or a pre-determined country, assuming that Ukraine won’t be able to hold it. Such great results for Sweden and Spain too, both fully deserved. Spain, likewise, deserve that after a high quality national final and a huge amount of effort. And I can imagine Anders Bagge would have been about 20th. Bland, generic songs and most ballads really failed this evening. Edited May 14, 20223 yr by gooddelta
May 14, 20223 yr I’m glad Sam got 2nd place as I think we all knew that was the highest any country apart from Ukraine was going to get so to me he is the real winner.
May 14, 20223 yr Azerbaijan nul on the televote in semi 2, Switzerland with 11 points on the televote in semi 1. THE PUBLIC HATE YOUR SAD SOP BALLADS STOP VOTING THEM JURIES
May 14, 20223 yr Ban the juries pls. I actually voted for the UK this year!!! (And Spain and France like 10 times each - I am not looking forward to this phone bill)
May 14, 20223 yr It was a great gesture for Ukraine to win but at the same time it's so unlucky that Sam Ryder narrowly missed out. He would have won if circumstances were better in Ukraine right now, still it's a massive improvement for UK compared to last year's nil points and even previous years of finishing low in the leader board. I was surprised at how well Spain did as the song wasn't that great. I imagine it was the performance mainly that grabbed peoples attention and the singer looked good.
