Well done Bulgaria.

Romania coming top 3 is great aswell, disappointed Delta didn't win or come Top 3 but least she got a very respectable 4th.

Finland really falling short after been faves for so long. But all top 10 on over 200 points.

Bangaranga must have gone viral online in Europe for it to beat Israel's political televote. Well done to Dara.

I think 4th is about what I realistically expected for Delta but I live with hope in my heart that one year my favourite song will win (it’s never actually happened in 20 years of active viewership though).

this is still so wild to me, I didn’t think that this type of entry was what y’all were checking for

Well thank f*** for that for the second year in a row

We can't have another year with Israel in the split screen next year please

Israel's televote total has decreased each year for the past couple of years (323 -> 297 -> 220), hopefully it will continue to?

That's such a relief, Bulgaria winning and it not even being close! A really deserved winner

I'm happy with 4th for Delta!! Denmark top 10 is a delight, and I suppose 20th could've been worse for Felicia even if it's deeply undeserved.

Israel needs to keep declining rapidly.

Their jury scores were worrying this year.

 

JJ cringe there I have to say.

My heart wasn’t in it at all this year, so I’ve generally stayed away from the current Eurovision season, but I’m glad Bulgaria prevented the worst possible outcome and the winning song sounds like a banger, WD DARA 👏

Well thank God, the contest survives another year at least x Actually very pleased with that winner, was in my top 3 and stood out for miles in a very weak year, Not even close in the televote either and almost 100 ahead of the nearest competitor!

It's a joke that Israel are just going to continually do this well though regardless of quality, the juries really should've seen this coming. Voting on the song alone feels pointlessly noble given if they host it in their current state, it will be the end of the contest.

Elsewhere, great to see Romania and Greece in the top 10, would've been nice to see Serbia and Croatia a bit higher but not bad considering. And lol oops at the UK, I can't say I'm surprised at all, I still think it's quite fun but a hit it is not.

‘Biiitch’

It's a lose lose either way because if Israel do keep declining in the televote because the gammons give up trying to make the worst happen, the EBU will just start seeing them as a non-issue because they won't be challenging.

When was the last time we gave Lithuania nothing in the televote???

Due to change in numbers of times you can vote.

Glad to see delta did well with public coming 6th

Was behind by over an hour so kept off of here.

Shame Delta didn't win the jury vote - but what a great public vote for her

Bulgaria coming out of nowhere is an amazing story - but two years in a row where the contest has been saved.....

And I am not surprised Finland did a Sweden

Finland will be disappointed after all the hype.

When was the last time Sweden did so bad in a final,?

Dara was 80/1 last month. Oh my.

Wow, 8 of my top 11 finished there in the end, with the rest not that far behind. Really fantastic result this year.

Let’s all not forget to thank @Qween ’s hubby for saving Eurovision.

Was the hype a poisoned chalice? I never saw the hype myself but I can see why people like it

I did like the Sweden song but I'm kind of glad it underperformed. I just wish Italy had underperformed as well

On another note - the UK's score ended up being very much an aside with the fears being at the top of the leaderboard but it is a real shame it didn't catch on across Europe. I think it shows just how hard it is to predict whether a song will do well - taking Austria as an example, I thought they ticked every possible box for being a smash and yet it only got 6 points. I suppose that's shown by how no countries consistently qualify unless they have other political situations or they're Sweden - and even Sweden finished surprisingly low this year for a song I thought could have contended for the win on first listen.
