May 14, 20232 yr No OMD, Echo and the Bunnymen, Julian Cope? Snubbing Jemeni was understandable. Can't really see Echo or Julian having songs big enough to be covered for Eurovision. OMD more of a case with Enola Gay, Maid of Orleans but Atomic Kitten's Whole Again was co-written by two OMD members including Andy McCluskey so he wasn't completely ignored. Sonia should have been ignored if it wasn't for the fact she had a Eurovision runner up! Come to think of it - a bit strange that there was just a John Lennon cover but no Beatles or any other of their members. Were they hoping that Paul McCartney would have made a special appearance (as rumoured) but that fell through? Edited May 14, 20232 yr by Smint
May 14, 20232 yr 3 times and two in consecutive years (the UK being one of them!) - 1975's Ding-A-Dong, 1976's Save Your Kisses For Me, and 1984's Diggi-Loo Diggi-Ley, That was before the public were allowed to vote though. The results might have been different had that been in place. Edited May 14, 20232 yr by zenon
May 14, 20232 yr Not Finland public voters giving 0 to Loreen lol Sweden gave 12 both public and jury to Finland.
May 14, 20232 yr One of the funniest thing last night was how the host asked "are you READY?" Loreen was wagging her nails like "NO" Käärija was doing a thumbs up. That should be a forever gif.
May 14, 20232 yr That semi-final top 2 seems very incongruous with how the public voted in the final. You can argue more countries and a more crowded field but Austria and Australia jumped off a cliff when they should have had a huge groundswell of support - those results are more how I'd have expected those two to do.
May 14, 20232 yr You know what I found the funniest about the whole "Käärija should've won" business? Let's see him performing under these conditions: 2U0YRey1yRE "only staging" x
May 14, 20232 yr Estonia finishing 8th after being the last to qualify from the weaker semi was wild! Baffled how badly France did with juries. Wouldn't have put Italy in top 5 in the final, but I'm glad - another class act from them.
May 14, 20232 yr My rank: 01 Sweden: Loreen - Tattoo 02 Israel: Noa Kirel - Unicorn 03 Finland: Käärijä - Cha Cha Cha 04 Belgium: Gustaph - Because of You 05 Poland: Blanka - Solo 06 Norway: Alessandra - Queen of Kings 07 Australia: Voyager - Promise 08 Austria: Teya and Salena - Who the Hell Is Edgar? 09 United Kingdom: Mae Muller - I Wrote a Song 10 Moldova: Pasha Parfeni - Soarele ?i luna 11 Cyprus: Andrew Lambrou - Break a Broken Heart 12 France: La Zarra - Évidemment 13 Slovenia: Joker Out - Carpe Diem 14 Serbia: Luke Black - Samo mi se spava 15 Czech Republic: Vesna - My Sister's Crown 16 Lithuania: Monika Linkyte - Stay 17 Armenia: Brunette - Future Lover 18 Switzerland: Remo Forrer - Watergun 19 Portugal: Mimicat - Ai coração 20 Ukraine: Tvorchi - Heart of Steel 21 Estonia: Alika - Bridges 22 Italy: Marco Mengoni - Due vite 23 Albania: Albina and Familja Kelmendi - Duje 24 Spain: Blanca Paloma - Eaea 25 Germany: Lord of the Lost - Blood & Glitter 26 Croatia: Let 3 - Mama ŠC! Side eyeing Spiceboy's Israel slander x Yes Solo is basic but what can I say, the basic song has been stuck in my head ever since the semis, so it's doing something right for me!
May 14, 20232 yr My thoughts: Loreen deserved to absolutely win. I’m so thrilled for her. However, her vocals on the night were not the best. We all thought he winners performance was much better. Norway’s jury points were shocking. Austria would have smashed had it been given a better place in the running order. So sad that it missed the top 10!!!!
May 14, 20232 yr I’m so thrilled for her. However, her vocals on the night were not the best. Really do explain
May 14, 20232 yr Really do explain Oh I mean nothing bad, I just think she sounded better during the semi final. That’s what I meant, but obviously she was my favourite going into the night and leaving the night so 🤷♂️. Also, was Mae Muller drunk during her performance?
May 14, 20232 yr Side eyeing Spiceboy's Israel slander x I said what I said! B-) No in all honesty I thought her performance was amazing she gave it EVERYTHING. At the beginning in those squares I thought oh this is a really catchy song, then the whole unicorn lyrics started and gosh the song got so so so bad! :puke2:

May 14, 20232 yr No!!! Just be nice. Omg I’m meaning it like being a relatable queen. Ignore me please as I cba with drama
May 14, 20232 yr Author The biggest shock of the night is Greece not giving 12 points to Cyprus in the jury vote. :o

May 14, 20232 yr That was before the public were allowed to vote though. The results might have been different had that been in place. Maybe but that wasn’t the question asked - things can always be different with different rules
