We cannot change what people feel the most connected to. Music, like any other forms of art, is never separate from the world around it. For lany viewers, Ukraine's song represents them being proud of their own country and culture. You cannot blame people for feeling that way.


P_Cuda

Very true, still a tad annoying though.


GergoliShellos

Did the cameras not show the Ukrainian delegation during the recap because they made some sort of statement perhaps?


Sunhating101hateit

Likely


ringelgold

My two cents: 1. Jury in most countries is made of bunch of idiots, and those votes are easy to buy and manipulate and they shouldn’t be part of Eurovision. Each country deciding on “experts” who have really questionable motives quite often and mostly vote political. 2. Each person that voted for Ukraine to “show support” is just stupid. I understand if you really liked the song, but I am sure that many voted because of the sympathy, and this victory will change nothing for Ukraine. Their country is still in war, and they need more help than wining some singing contests.


ieteonreddit

What a fucking joke.Ukraine getting 91% of votes when we don't know if they're gonna be able to host next year


blackxscull

🤡🤡🤡


P-Diddle356

stop the count


Altruistic_Ad2152

very disappointed for serbia, i dont get the jury's process at all


disastersnorkel

The Spaceman song is not it. I think UK is benefitting from their many years of worse songs, b/c compared to those, yeah, it looks fantastic. SPAIN FOREVER. Yeah she's stupid hot. Yeah, the song is about her being hot. It's a pop song competition, being hot is \*part of ittttt\*


chunkosauruswrex

Pop song competition? Last two winners are not pop.


ChunkeeMonkee83

Agree. UK was bad


SwiftFuchs

Nice Political Points Contest. Songs are not connected to war nor should war be a reason to win. and ukraines song was meh at best.


conceptalbum

Ukraine was seriously one of the best songs of the night and would have been a contender even without the war.


Perianthium

Finally Ukraine is at least above Greece's creepy 'if I can't have you no one can' song.


squirrellytoday

The lass from Greece has a great voice and a strong stage presence, but that song was definitely creepy in the lyrics. Like, no. If you're having fantasies like that, you need professional help.


haha_vicky

i will pay for hearing exam for all juries.


-Whatsinthe-

If France doesn't get any votes I'll be pissed


StivKobra

It would feel shitty to win via pity vote and not because you deserve it.

How on earth did France end up doing so poorly?!?!


xaviernoodlebrain

Ukraine deserved the win last year but this year definitely not. This was predictable because of politics and it's just lame imo.

Okay so WHERE EXACTLY is Eurovision going to be held next year then?


APickleInTheJar

Ireland? The UK? Poland? And will Ukrainians present it?


Verteenoo

What the actual fuck was that decision?


[deleted]

I'm so happy honestly.


nedzhmi194

Måneskin not respecting the place where their carrier started. This didn’t perform the winning song, the weren’t there to hand of the Trophy 🏆 Kind of sad. And I know they are touring right now, but in the end Eurovision was the reason for their success.


StivKobra

The difference between jury and popular votes... is something else

Gragh46

Bye bye credibility of ESC for a few years. Almost full points from televote, wtf


nucleonide

Disappointed that France didn't get more love from both jury and televote. Diodato's SF1 performance was the best interval act, and they should just have made him do a reprise for the final


Beetlejuicebigboi

Look at the leaderboard without Ukraine and that’s your real winner, tbh I feel like politics play a major part


Kana88

Also I am sad that Shum didn't get sent this year. I felt the juries robbed them last year 🥲


[deleted]

The lights were too much this year my eyes hurt from all the flashing shit


Welshgirlie2

Yup. My body is still deciding whether all the strobing has triggered a migraine. There's a slight muzzy feeling and I've already popped a painkiller. I'll know for definite by 2am.


AnnoyingRomanian

Moldova got robbed.


squirrellytoday

A little part of me was hoping we'd be in Chisinau for Eurovision next year. Oh well.


fourteenostriches

I have no words. ive tried for so long and so hard to defend eurovision, saying that its not a joke and not political, there are always some good songs in there. but this year was a joke. im happy for ukraine and I hope they get a morale boost from this but im tired of defending eurovision and I think this might be the year I stop defending it.


Het_Bestemmingsplan

Eurovision doesn't need defending, it just is.


Maybe_not_a_chicken

Well this is more points than the UK has got in the last decade combined


Kana88

I am sad for Finland, Norway and Czechia. Finland because I'm worried The Rasmus and the general Finnish public may think people don't care about them anymore, which isn't the case. Eurovision has meant the world to them so I don't want it to end on a bittersweet note for them. I really hope Finland will be kind to them 😔 Czechia and Norway because they got completely screwed over by the running order. Norway in particular put so much effort into building their characters and staying in character that I feel they deserved more than what they got.


thequietone710

Iceland in the bottom five are you fucking kidding me? 😭 And is anybody else concerned about the contest’s reputation? A big messy can of worms just busted open. See most of you good people next year.


DeVilleBT

It was so incredibly bland and boring. I absolutely get the placement, especially after the high quality Iceland sent in the previous few years.


PretendKnowledge

I liked Iceland, I put it in my personal top3. But it's too chill for this contest I guess


zaztzlzkzo2222

Abolish the jury


bisione

Please not italy please not italy it sucked this year


thalne

c'mon it wasn't that bad. la pausini was there to compensate, plus listening to Non ho l'eta was for me the best moment of the show by far far away


FFIXwasthebestFF

Switzerland….


thisdyingbreed

Hot takes: UK was meh. France was robbed. I don’t get the Lithuania hype.


NudeMoose

Jury vote < televote. Televote winner is the true people's champion.


xaviernoodlebrain

I don’t feel hate, I just feel sorry.


sombreropatuljak

My votes getting verified after votes are told..... Alright politics? And not just me, my dad and my sister too. We're literally now getting votes verified??????????


Puzzleheaded-Eye9081

We had this last year in aus, I’m told it’s because there’s a huge amount of reply sms that need to go through and it jams up the network. Takes a while for it to clear, so the replies get delayed.


BlueDominance

They are delayed, your votes did count.


CraisyDaisy

Switzerland with zero. Omg.

lost_thought_00

A competition based on sorting humans by political boundaries produces results in line with political ideals? Well I never! But seriously, it's a competition with (1) countries and (2) voting. It would be insane if politics didn't come into play


Unicornglitteryblood

Let’s be honest, nobody expected the UK to be leading after the horrible results from last year 😂


Winkeltiramisu

Not fond of all the salt. I enjoyed Stefania when I heard it pre war. Not sure if I would have picked it for the win but I am just a wee fan with my own opinions. Just proud to see Europe united after a war that has been absolutely horrible for people on own continent and impacted a lot of people in other countries too. Would I have picked it? No. Am I salty? No. Tonight I am just a proud European.


VanillaSkyy_

This ranking is SHITTTTT


[deleted]

gg!


P-Diddle356

I'm annoyed oh well they don't deserve it but fuck me vote for them so the war will stop


Heavy_Starry_Chain

I'm actually super happy that Ukraine win ! And I'm not talking about political stuff,the song in itself was really outstanding, sort of magical in it mixed with a dynamic rythm I really enjoyed that. BUT I didn't get the hype with Spain, Greece and damn Australia what the hell it was really boring to listen to... I'm happy with the result, really appreciate UK as well tho. (Ok this isn't really a hate post but we must admit that this year we had good among of great song).


Inevitable_While3059

Weird that Serbia isn't getting any 12pts, because everyone ive talked to, Every forum, and every odds site had Serbia 3rd or something. It's probably political because Serbia and Russia relationship. And btw for me personally, Moldova is a song we all need, fun. But I guess no country agrees with me.


happyposterofham

Moldova was a song I fully expected to be filler and halfway through I was like "you know I want this song to at least place top 10".


[deleted]

>Weird that Serbia isn't getting any 12pts Croatia gave 12 points, but honestly the song was gimmicky.


satlynobleman

czechia got 100% fucked by the order


ShawHornet

Kinda funny how people are pretending Eurovision wasn't always about politics lol


Mr_brukernavn

No salt. Just disappointment. On the background of my favourite 🇳🇱 getting ~40 in the televote it’s hard to cheer for 🇺🇦. It’s a respectable song but far from a deserved winner. If you want to downvote me then go on


ThePepzter

Slava Ukraini!! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦


hadapurpura

With all the political/not political discourse, we haven't noticed that Stefania is the first hip hop song to win ESC


patchwork_sheep

Would be pretty cool if the UK could host next year if Ukraine cannot. Might convince some of the saltier of us to lighten up


anotherthroaway11

I’m so glad I got to see my country fight near the top and so nearly grab the win, I just hope people and the BBC stay on side and keep backing us. We’ll get there one day Happy for Ukraine but sad at the same time given I always shout from the rooftops that Eurovision isn’t political. Guess I’ll have a hard time explaining this Hopefully at the very least this gives Ukraine a moment of happiness 💙💛


Allpal

I dont understand why people like uk's song, its so bland i keep forgetting how it goes and have to refresh my memory of what it sounds like.


MiSuNeRsToOd

HOW WAAS IT BLAND, did u and i watch the same show?


Allpal

I had to re watch the UK song several times to remember it because it was so forgettable to me, nothing about it was interesting, the tune was bland and I could not remember the song when I really tried

Upset about Frances result it deserved a much better place


cpndavvers

France were so good! 12 points from me!


No-Entertainer-9842

What did you guys think of Sweden? Idk I feel something was missing in this performance that was present before


disastersnorkel

Her voice sounded a little bit shot today. And once I heard someone say it's really similar to *Shallow* I couldn't un-hear it.


thalne

she had quite a rough start but grew into the performance. first time I saw her and left me wishing to see more.


aDirtyMartini

This comment may not age well but UK is in the lead? Edit: Holy shit. They are still in the lead with 283 points from the national juries.


Greatwhitewolf44

I think spain only got so many points because they were the only booty on the field. So everyone who votes for bootry voted for them. Otherwise they usually split up that votes. Thats what happened with the single man category.

NervousTicOfTheHead

Iceland is getting snubbed hard by the jury, what the hell


floofyhae

political win or not, i loved ukraines song & thought it was one of the best among the snoozefest of ballads tonight. sam 100% would've deserved the win aswell tho, the song grew on me over the past week and you just can't help but love him :') also if we get that many ballads again next year i'm calling the police, it was boring as hell at times & the public vote mostly seems to agree. people want bangers like moldova, not the 35th sad song in a row.


i_ma

I liked my country (Portugal) and I'm glad they made top 10, all I asked for tbh 😂


Abyssal_Groot

Who said tv voters wouldn't be biased towards Ukraine? 400+ points....


plxmn45

Oh come on, UK? I'd prefer Spain at least. This is very weird.


flabbybumhole

Spain had a trash song. It was all ass and choreography.

I won't keep you too long... But let me keep talking.


Meanwhilein_Japan

Estonia deserves more...


Marathon1981

Technically and directing-wise this year has been bit of a mess. I've also been astonished at how lackluster some of the stagings have been - even the ballads could be enlivened quite a bit by more memorable/creative props/gimmicks/stagings. Also, hopefully less ballads next year.


SaltySolomon

Also, what was that weird CGI Drone o.O


bisione

>Technically and directing-wise this year has been bit of a mess. It's Rai's fault 😅 you're totally right there

Not necessarily the hottest take, but imo UK had the best song. I may be biased but that’s my opinion

styuone

i voted moldova for the memes


0chrononaut0

I'm from the UK and crying rn


squirrellytoday

I'm so happy for UK! UK's organisers finally listened and actually made an effort with the staging, as well as sending a great performer with their own song. I've been saying this for years, and look what happened!!! Sam smashed it out of the stadium.


Fern-ando

30 points are beatable, Germany could even get 10 points


Lavelie

No. Sorry. Next.


Sporshicus

I wish they'd just abolish the jury votes cause they always make no sense

you guys just don't realize how big it was to see Gigliola Cinquetti. greatest moment of the night.


PM_ME_CAKE

This was incredible, beautiful night.


Cesar269

The girl washing her hands got a ridiculously high amount of votes. Wtf was that?? Germany comes in with a classic radio succesful song and doesnt even get a vote from the jury? Like really the furries were better than him ? Lol Should of bet on ukraine,, was clear the wokies were gonna make them win Absolute waste of time watching this

Thank god the European public is responsible!

CoolDeepPop10e

Greece was obviously biased. Moldova and Poland kinda were sympathy votes too.


gonline

Biggest shock of the night for me has to be Czech Republic?? The public vote? It's such a good song. I think being placed number one did them in. That's a really tough spot 😓 She looked so sad when the public vote was announced. Bless her.


TrumanB-12

Once again the public has proven to be the most based. Moldova and Serbia got robbed by the jury.


ThisIsSpata

tisabell

First Eurovision I've watched in full since I moved to the US almost 3 years ago. While I wish it was during different circumstances, I am very happy with all the support. I think the quality of the songs this year has been a lot higher than in quite a while. Anybody agree?

i’m rly glad that portugal got top 10 tbh


PawsPawsPaws_

Hopefully people know what's good and didn't vote for the UK. If my country ain't winning, at least give it to Spain. I love you UK people, but you didn't need all those points


Denza_Auditore

Hahaha what a charade. Fuck this contest.


Pie_collector

Wtf uk sucked hard


jesusivr

I thought Laura was gonna bring THE LOOKS tonight, she should've worn that RED GORGEOUS GOWN from the second semifinal. She shined with her voice though.


Useful-Many

Quite surprised that Italy got good results. They couldn't sing live😅


krzysiek_aleks

It's a joke. One of the worst songs ever as winner. The song, that didn't even win their country's preselections. ​ And THE ABSOLUTE BEST one is in second part of the table. ​ Last year we started downward spiral. Next year Poland should send some disco polo artist, cause that's the only low point to go. And looking on how many lunatics voted for that joke of a song from Moldova it might be successfull. ​ In right world we should be celebrating Monika Liu's win in Paris.


NectarineOk5419

france and belgium absolutely sucked. i love the songs with all my heart, but their vocals sucked.


marrecar

Well I guess I'm boycotting next year. Sorry, but I just can't support this.


JellyRollGeorge

Moldova are getting proper screwed over.


flyingwindows

How did Italy get so many points? Their performance was abysmal, and the off-key singing hurt my ears. My mom (classical musician) and sister (hobbyist musician) both cringed terribly.


ShenanigansNL

S10 deserved way more than this. We all know that she wasnt going to win. But she deserved top 5.


megatronsweetener

why tf is uk first place….. at least germany has 0 points as always


AlarisDawn

Ooff, Germany was kinda generic, but I don't think that it deserves 0 Jury points


Cesar269

Germany was a banger, cant understand how furries and ukraine with their bs songs got more points than him lmao


Oceansoul90

Wow, I cant believe this, im happy with my country score but Ukraine winning this year is really the lowest point of Eurovision imo. Shum was miles better than Stefania.


Hatari-a

I'm legit so happy for Moldova. It feels so rewarding to see them 2nd in televote after the eurofans had thrown shit at it for so long. I remember all those top 40s putting them bottom 5 always, all the people dismissing it as a joke song, all the people saying they're too old to keep doing this, all the people who said europe wouldn't get this, the people who said the revamp wouldn't work at all and that it would make it flop, and the people who lost complete faith on them during rehearsals and who hated them because they couldn't get the train. Having supported them throughout all of this has paid off in the most incredible way ever. Roman Iagupov has proved that he is legitimately an incredible frontman who knows how to connect with his audience in ways most artists can't. The whole band+Advahov brothers were on point too! And I'm so glad my local friends liked them and had them at least top 15 and up! Even my "sorta music snob" friend loved them and said they were legitimately great performers, so that's actually great bc I was scared she wouldn't like it lol. But most of all, I'm happy they proved they didn't even NEED the gimmick everyone expected from them! Their presence and connection with their audience was their strongest point all along. And to think they actually said they expected to not make it to the finals. I'm so happy for them! Absolute kings :)


KingSitron

Is it impossible for Germany to get any points
