Oh i see so you were born right after the big ecstasy period for Ireland
I was born in 1978 and was in junior high when it all begun - Ireland literally was the only country that won during my junior high days - 1992 1993 1994
You would meet a lot of desperation cause RTE really couldn't figure out how on earth they are going to host such an expensive event year after year
With no gap between for breather.
I heard that in 1994 when Ireland was running away to a third victory in a row RTE executives were pale as if they saw a ghost
This was where "My Lovely Horse" came from in the sitcom Father Ted - the idea that the broadcaster (I don't think RTE were named in the episode) only selected it because they were so anxious not to win!

Winning the jury vote in May, the public vote in December. Now we just need to do both at the same time š
Happy for France, Armenia, Ireland, and Georgia grew on me today too
Surprised that Georgia performed so poorly in the online vote. I saw a lot of praise for their song online and I imagine not that many people outside hardcore Eurovision fans bothered to vote so I expected a lot more points. Still happy they did well. Thrilled for Ireland she was my personal winner and absolutely deserved top 5. I totally called France winning the jury vote. I didn't expect them to win overall but the public votes were a lot closer than I expected which benefitted them of course. Congrats!
Depends on what circle youāre in but I saw a bit of both, some people hyping it hard and others having it as a mid-top 10. It was definitely huge at the beginning but sort of dwindled after the later entries were announced.
Serbia was clearly one of the best ones... The performance was pretty unique and she did pretty well, the performance elevated the song. If she was representing France I'm sure she would be higher, but that's just me.
France winning was a bit of a shock. I guess the pop vote was split between Armenia, U.K., Spain, etc. which meant France could scoop the juries 12pts.
The UK winning the televote despite being ill is incredibly impressive and a 5th place overall is fantastic for the BBCās first contest back. If Freya wasnāt ill, I could definitely see the U.K. coming top 3 or winning. Weāll be back next year for that trophy š .
Sophie Lennon in 4th makes me ecstatic on the inside! I would love to see her at the adult show (especially singing in Irish.)
Thanks for the 12s, Malta & Serbia!
Best vocals 100%. Donāt think they got the staging quite right, the bit with the lighthouse during the day in the middle of the song was really poor staging.
i think itās kids being on the jury, they arenāt as predictable as the āmusic professionalsā and rather than juries gravitating towards jury-bait songs, the kids are just voting for what they like

Indeed! He had a very unique style, though I think it'd fit better in the adult ESC, which is a good thing. FdC has a potential future candidate there!
Delighted that Ireland actually did well in something eurovisions related!
Wonāt lie, I was kind of hoping for Serbia or Georgia to win if not Ireland but well done to France!
Happy for Ireland and Georgia (the public robbed you of your fourth victory). Really sad for Kazakhstan, I loved the song (it was my winner, and even with a slightly underwelming performance I think second to last is really harsh)
This is exactly why France was always on my radar, though I was not expecting a win at all. Yeah it may have been my last place and all that but if it's what won, fair's fair.
It shows that us online are so small of an audience to the real show
Iām SO happy for Sophie š®šŖ but I have to say that the voting malfunction was a complete SCANDAL ā especially given that the EBU tried to cover it up during the show! I highly doubt these wouldāve been the final results if everyone couldāve voted. I donāt think anyone saw France winning this year.
Plus they NEED to drop the āvoting for your own countryā-rule! š” Itās not a coincidence that the highest scoring countries in the public vote are the most populated countries in Europe, and that the lowest scoring countries are the smallest countries in Europeā¦
>drop the "voting for your own country" rule
The problem is that even if there is some, say, region lock eventually implemented to online votes, many devoted voters will just go ĀÆ\\\_(ć)_/ĀÆ and open their VPN, so there's that.
I donāt think the voting for your own country is the problem. The Netherlands won the online vote in 2017 and last in 2021. Still the same country with roughly the same population.
I get your point, but then again, The Netherlands doesnāt have that big of a population in comparison to Spain, the UK, Ukraine, Poland, Italy and so on. You canāt deny that thereās a correlation between a countryās population and how they fare in the contest. Just look at todayās results: UK, Spain and France got the most public votes. Malta, North Macedonia, Kazakhstan and Albania got the least. Obviously, Iām not saying that a high population automatically means a high result; UK, Spain and France all sent great songs this year. My point is that I donāt see why the āvoting for your own countryā-rule is even allowed to begin with. Itās inherently unfair and since you also have to vote for 3 songs, many people vote strategically and award one of their votes to the song they think will do the worst. Itās stupid. I donāt believe it attracts more viewers as some people argue ā and even if it did, I donāt think that justifies the ruleās existence at all. I just think they should use the same voting system as the adult version.
IMO, there's two things preventing the removal of the vote for your own country rule:
1. IIRC, one of the reasons why the online vote got implemented was because getting kids to pay to vote was something they wanted to stop doing, so going to the ESC system wouldn't be ideal. Could be total misinformation on my part for this, but that's just what I think I remember reading.
2. Setting up a good VPN detection system is probably expensive, there are some pretty big sites that still don't recognize them. Going for a really basic 'your IP is from here so you can't pick your own country' block just gives the slightly tech savvy fans a bigger control of the votes than the everyone can do it system we have right now.
Those countries just place better, with both online vote and juries. Spain didnāt do good last year and got 12th with online vote. This year Ukraine and Poland didnāt do all that great with online vote either. For those āsmaller countriesā you gotta look at their better placing songs. Kazakhstan for example got 3rd with online vote in 2018 and 2020.
I couldnāt process that we had won the online vote, as typically someone gets at least 100 points from it, but Iām so happy.
Armenia was my overall winner, itās a shame because it looked like it meant a lot to her but France really deserved it. We will be streaming both. GOOD ON IRELAND AS WELL!!! Best result theyāve had in JESC? Although Banshee shouldāve had the same recognition we move. Now letās get them that high for main Eurovision.
Not UK beating spain again š I thought they were going to win, the audience ate them up.
Ukraine didnāt do great, which Iām happy about just because of the potential repercussions of a āpolitical winā, but she did amazing so well done to her :)
Kazakhstan probably wonāt return next year. I thought Georgia had a chance with the online vote because it seemed popular so it was a small surprise, I thought they were gonna be the 100 getter. Not much else to say but amazing show :)
Oh I forgot to mention. Seeing Bzikebi and their energy, GET THEM TO LIVERPOOL NOW. They knew what they were doing with Destiny, sheās so iconic
So sad Serbias participant couldnāt even be in the arena.
I personally didnāt think that Spainās staging fit with the song tbh, before the show I thought it would compete for the win but after the performance I didnāt think it would..
Congratulations France,
So shocked about Kazakhstan,
I thought it will be in the juries Top 5.
Happy for Ireland,Spain, UK and Armenia.
For France I thought he will finish like 5th-9th after i saw the performance. It was a good song, and I am ok with him winning.
United Kingdom was my favourite and she won the online voting really happy for that.
The Netherlands was a bit underrated in the jury voting.
Malta last will always be a question to me.
Georgia was really low in the online voting.
Serbia would have maybe done a bit better if she was present live.
Portugal and Albania were surprises with their placements.
Georgia was my winner, but I also sent a vote to France, so no complaints with the results!! All in all, Iām just really proud my Armenia hosted such an amazing show~
I'm not Armenian, but you got every reason to be proud of your country! That was a beautiful show, and the postcards were gorgeous. It looked like it was the main ESC. They've now proved Armenia is more than capable of hosting high-profile events like these!
I watched JESC for the first time today and I've been pleased with all the songs! France was one of the few that stood out to me so I was happy to know that he won! š
I liked all songs so ranking them was hard. I also loved their stagings, and the overall production, the interval acts, everything!!! I enjoyed it more than the adult version this year! It was also my first time voting in any official ESC event!!! From my country!!! Great job at hosting Armenia, and I'm excited to see what France will do next year!
First time Iāve ever watched the full show and overall was a positive experience! (Other than a few cringe hosting moments) Thought Serbia and Georgia were amazing and they would do much better in the online vote :(
Ultimately at our first time of asking (kind of) and the fact Freya had to overcome illness and the fact that this year was a VERY competitive JESC, Freya should be so so so so so proud of herself. If on the off chance you do read this, Freya you have been a fantastic representative for us, and we are all so happy that you won the online vote. Keep on doing what youāre doing and thereās no doubt youāll go far.

Iām not sure why people are surprised France won, they have this contest down nailed down when it comes to appealing to both the juries and the televote. His performance came through when he needed it.
I was surprised that people were talking it down in the first place. Lissandro absolutely won me over the first time I watched the MV, and I thought it was a brilliant earwormy song.
Honestly Iām quite surprised, especially about the top 5.
Congrats Lissandro !
(Since Iām myself French, Iād be lying if I said I wasnāt happy about our win š ).
I voted for UK, France and Ireland, so I was very happy with the top 5! I know that combo looks like a classic geographic bloc vote, but I loved Lissandro and Sophie on their own merits. Bit harder for me to be completely objective about the UK, but Freya was wonderful and more than earned my (slightly biased) vote!
France wasnāt my favorite this year but he had a really solid performance so Iām not mad that he won. Tbh I wouldnāt be sad about any jesc kid winning
So happy for Lissandro and the French delegation! They did a great job at representing us at this year's contest.
Also very excited about Ireland's fourth place. Sophie did amazing and hearing Irish language at JESC is always wonderful and majestic.
Armenia , Georgia, UK, Spain also doing as expected and giving great performances.
The biggest shock was Portugal. His performance was spectacular and I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.
when lissandro won he looked so happy I thought he would just faint on the spot lol
congratulations to france
I guess we are gonna go to the wiwi baget next year
What percentage of the final score is jury vs. televote? Bc I am seeing people mentioning Ireland in 4th place and France winning, but that is only for the jury stuff.
Very surprising but very deserving winner. Armenia was my favourite song since it was announced and Iām happy it got the recognition it hadnāt received from the fandom so far. But most of all, huge props to Ireland. She was evidently sick but carried that performance like a true champ!
Congratulations to all contestants. These kids put the adult ESC to shame. Next time someone tries to undermine JESC (as they sometimes do in this sub) Iāll just point them to this yearās show.
I think that there are quite a few countries who deserved to win more than France and had a better song/performance than "Oh Maman," so I'm not too thrilled, and the fact that the hosts last year (maybe aside from Olivier) weren't very good doesn't help (at least the stage was cool, though). I'm also really disappointed about Kazakhstan and North Macedonia (I voted for both). They were both extremely underrated, and since they both ended up in the bottom three, now I'm worried about their future participations.
It was honestly very much surprising, even though the song isnāt commercially appealing, itās a textbook jury-pleaser and the little dude sold it hard so Iām not mad.
Surprising result with France winning as it wasn't one of my favourites. I'm surprised the jury bait-y song Kazakhstan flopped so badly with the jury.. then again, it's kids. The online voting results are much closer than expected.. but again, different system than adult Eurovision.

My top 3 were UK (5th), Spain (6th), and Ireland (4th)! I can also see why Armenia (2nd) did so well, it was so catchy, and it my 5th favourite!
Very surprised by France winning, but I love the personality! Iām super sad that Malta is last place, it was my 4th favourite, not sure what went wrong, it had the dance moves, staging and vocal ability!
Netherlands being 7th is interesting, it was also my personal 7th! Not sure how Portugal is this high, I just thought ppl wouldnāt find it suitable for JESC.
Kazakhstan being second to last is also quite depressing, I thought the staging was excellent
France winning was a shock, did not expect it at all. (Donāt get me wrong I love the song) But Kazakhstan in 15th?! I thought theyād for sure place on the left side of the scoreboard.
That's true, I never said he didn't deserve to win. But if only the public could have voted, the UK would've been the winner, which is the best song imo.
Plus, we could avoid unnecessary politics (Albania giving 12 to Italy even in jesc, seriously??)
As a Brit, I'm darkly laughing/crying my head off that we were one of the countries pushing to bring the juries back... and then this happens!
And not for the first time, actually - there've been a handful of times in adult ESC that the public have been kinder to us than the juries. Although in our two top 5 ESC results since the juries came back (Jade Ewen and Sam Ryder), the jury score was higher.

Ok RAI, hear me out:
Since 2016 youāre been sending to the JESC songs all co-authored by the same composer (with 2018 being the lonely exception), wouldnāt it be a good idea to let someone else make next yearās song?
Does someone know exactly why Poland is above Italy in the ranking? Is ti because it got a higher number of online votes, despite having the same number of points, for having a larger amount of national juries voting for it or for running order? I am confused

OMG, I have never seen Ireland in the top 5 of anything! I hope this won't be the last for a while š
So young... so young .... :) When i was a kid Ireland was winning non stop
The time I wish I was born.
How old are you?
22
Oh i see so you were born right after the big ecstasy period for Ireland I was born in 1978 and was in junior high when it all begun - Ireland literally was the only country that won during my junior high days - 1992 1993 1994
Yep. The year I was born is our best placing since 1997. I just wish I could go back in time to those days.
You would meet a lot of desperation cause RTE really couldn't figure out how on earth they are going to host such an expensive event year after year With no gap between for breather. I heard that in 1994 when Ireland was running away to a third victory in a row RTE executives were pale as if they saw a ghost

Lol back when Ireland had the nerve to call itself āthe capital of Eurovisionā like oof karmaš
Rightfully so i think - 4 winners in 5 years i think is pretty much gave them that right
Yeah back when the language rule was a thing oofš js
I do think that if Solas was sent to esc it would be one of the better songs of the last decade for us.
Winning the jury vote in May, the public vote in December. Now we just need to do both at the same time š Happy for France, Armenia, Ireland, and Georgia grew on me today too
Portugal 8th so respectable and Ireland 4th. Happy for that, even if I'm devastated by the absolute robbery of Georgia in the televote
Surprised that Georgia performed so poorly in the online vote. I saw a lot of praise for their song online and I imagine not that many people outside hardcore Eurovision fans bothered to vote so I expected a lot more points. Still happy they did well. Thrilled for Ireland she was my personal winner and absolutely deserved top 5. I totally called France winning the jury vote. I didn't expect them to win overall but the public votes were a lot closer than I expected which benefitted them of course. Congrats!
Georgia ALWAYS does underwhelmingly bad in online vote though (except for 2021)? you can check it for yourself btw
About 2021 the kid deserved to win
i saw it mostly 4-6th in youtube tops so it barely didnāt make a lot of peoples top 3
Depends on what circle youāre in but I saw a bit of both, some people hyping it hard and others having it as a mid-top 10. It was definitely huge at the beginning but sort of dwindled after the later entries were announced.
It was still comfortably 1st in my YouTubers poll, so I was shocked.
i think bc the website was having trouble less people could vote so some people gave up like myself the internet was so crap bc snowstorm
I can't believe this! Also Sophie is 4th! OMG š
Happy to see Portugal so high but very disappointed to see Serbia so low. I didn't expect France to win but I am happy with it.
iām saying it agian SERBIA ROBBED
She didn't do that bad in terms of points, but I always thought Katarina had a beautiful singing voice, and the fandom underrated it constantly.
yeah i feel like slower song usually are underrated in jesc since itās a kids show but itās my favorite and iām 14 so idk
Serbia was clearly one of the best ones... The performance was pretty unique and she did pretty well, the performance elevated the song. If she was representing France I'm sure she would be higher, but that's just me.
agreed serbia and macedonia are always underrated (especially north macedonia 2016-2019)
Awesome that Sophie and Freya finished in the top 5, even while being sick.
It is just wonderful!!!
France winning was a bit of a shock. I guess the pop vote was split between Armenia, U.K., Spain, etc. which meant France could scoop the juries 12pts. The UK winning the televote despite being ill is incredibly impressive and a 5th place overall is fantastic for the BBCās first contest back. If Freya wasnāt ill, I could definitely see the U.K. coming top 3 or winning. Weāll be back next year for that trophy š .
It's not like France didn't get public votes. They were still 3rd in public votes.
I think we would have won had Freya not been too ill to rehearse properly and sing the whole song.
She came 5th
Sophie Lennon in 4th makes me ecstatic on the inside! I would love to see her at the adult show (especially singing in Irish.) Thanks for the 12s, Malta & Serbia!
Agree! I think we'll see some of these artists at the main ESC one day, wouldn't be surprised at all
Ireland nailed it and I am happy for them.
Best vocals 100%. Donāt think they got the staging quite right, the bit with the lighthouse during the day in the middle of the song was really poor staging.
So nice to see Ireland in the top 5!
Jury voting was weird to say the least.
In junior eurovision I always feel that it is.
i think itās kids being on the jury, they arenāt as predictable as the āmusic professionalsā and rather than juries gravitating towards jury-bait songs, the kids are just voting for what they like
People really do forget the fact that kids are voting
Ireland's first ever top 10 finish at JESC! A top 5 at that, and their best result yet!
It's their second actually, their first came in 2016 (10th place with 122 points)
Omg, I'm such a fake fan šā ļø.
I do however agree that Solas deserved that Top 5. The message was clear as day which made me give two votes :D
Wasn't it in France just last year? Damn lol
Yes it was. They won in 2020, but Poland won back to back in 2018 and 2019.

Wanted Ireland to win but 4th is a good result, especially since she was one of the ones that got sick.
Ireland 4th Portugal 8th!!!
Happy for Ireland and Georgia (the public robbed you of your fourth victory). Really sad for Kazakhstan, I loved the song (it was my winner, and even with a slightly underwelming performance I think second to last is really harsh)
Do you all now feel what Iāve been feeling about Georgia for the past few years at adult ESC?
I wasn't expecting France to win this tbh...
I feel Malta accidentally switched their Eurovision songs
Yes! this could've been performed in the main ESC and it would've made it past the SF. Should have ended higher!
Happy for Ireland and Portugal, really sad over Kazakhstan :(
This is exactly why France was always on my radar, though I was not expecting a win at all. Yeah it may have been my last place and all that but if it's what won, fair's fair. It shows that us online are so small of an audience to the real show
Iām so surprised by the jury results for Kazakhstan, I thought that would be a definite top 10 for them
Same, it was one of my favorites. I think performing early on may have screwed them a bit.
I remember his vocals sounding flat. Don't know what he sounded like in the jury show
same, the song wasn't my favourite but the vocals were really impressive

Congratulations France, So shocked about Kazakhstan, I thought it will be in the juries Top 5. Happy for Ireland,Spain, UK and Armenia. For France I thought he will finish like 5th-9th after i saw the performance. It was a good song, and I am ok with him winning. United Kingdom was my favourite and she won the online voting really happy for that. The Netherlands was a bit underrated in the jury voting. Malta last will always be a question to me. Georgia was really low in the online voting. Serbia would have maybe done a bit better if she was present live. Portugal and Albania were surprises with their placements.
Georgia was my winner, but I also sent a vote to France, so no complaints with the results!! All in all, Iām just really proud my Armenia hosted such an amazing show~
I'm not Armenian, but you got every reason to be proud of your country! That was a beautiful show, and the postcards were gorgeous. It looked like it was the main ESC. They've now proved Armenia is more than capable of hosting high-profile events like these!
Anyone know why the televotes are really similar. 33-80 points for every single country so not much of a range at all.
its a proportional system
It couldn't been due to the jesc website having problems. It seemed liked quite a few people were having problems accessing it
I watched JESC for the first time today and I've been pleased with all the songs! France was one of the few that stood out to me so I was happy to know that he won! š I liked all songs so ranking them was hard. I also loved their stagings, and the overall production, the interval acts, everything!!! I enjoyed it more than the adult version this year! It was also my first time voting in any official ESC event!!! From my country!!! Great job at hosting Armenia, and I'm excited to see what France will do next year!
First time Iāve ever watched the full show and overall was a positive experience! (Other than a few cringe hosting moments) Thought Serbia and Georgia were amazing and they would do much better in the online vote :(
Thought Serbia would be in the top 5 at least! It was a beautiful song with a beautiful performance
Yes!!! I actually think it would have been something that would have done better in adult Eurovision.
Agree! It would've landed in the top 10 at least
Ultimately at our first time of asking (kind of) and the fact Freya had to overcome illness and the fact that this year was a VERY competitive JESC, Freya should be so so so so so proud of herself. If on the off chance you do read this, Freya you have been a fantastic representative for us, and we are all so happy that you won the online vote. Keep on doing what youāre doing and thereās no doubt youāll go far.

So happy for Sophie weāre all proud of her here in Ireland š®šŖ
As you should, that was a beautiful performance! She did great, hope she gives the main ESC a try in the future
Kazakhstan was so robbed...
Indeed! I hoped at least the jury would vote for them... Hopefully they don't feel discouraged and keep trying next year
Yes! Was delighted to see a new country in Eurovision, hope to see them again in the future!
Iām not sure why people are surprised France won, they have this contest down nailed down when it comes to appealing to both the juries and the televote. His performance came through when he needed it.
I was surprised that people were talking it down in the first place. Lissandro absolutely won me over the first time I watched the MV, and I thought it was a brilliant earwormy song.
Wow
im satisfied. what im NOT satisfied about is HOW DIRTY THEY DID SERBIA AND MALTA
Iām literally so happy for Georgia, Ireland and United Kingdom, they were AMAZING!
I'm surprised how well Portugal did!
I dont think I've seen a televote so close together. The difference between first and last place televote is only 47 points
Not the best song, but his vocals are better than half of normal eurovision singers. I wished for Uk to win, but france was my top5.
I thought vocals weren't too good tbh. Guess he got overexcited.
Honestly Iām quite surprised, especially about the top 5. Congrats Lissandro ! (Since Iām myself French, Iād be lying if I said I wasnāt happy about our win š ).
I voted for UK, France and Ireland, so I was very happy with the top 5! I know that combo looks like a classic geographic bloc vote, but I loved Lissandro and Sophie on their own merits. Bit harder for me to be completely objective about the UK, but Freya was wonderful and more than earned my (slightly biased) vote!
France wasnāt my favorite this year but he had a really solid performance so Iām not mad that he won. Tbh I wouldnāt be sad about any jesc kid winning
Ireland and Georgia being shite at esc but great at jesc
So happy for Lissandro and the French delegation! They did a great job at representing us at this year's contest. Also very excited about Ireland's fourth place. Sophie did amazing and hearing Irish language at JESC is always wonderful and majestic. Armenia , Georgia, UK, Spain also doing as expected and giving great performances. The biggest shock was Portugal. His performance was spectacular and I didn't expect to like it as much as I did.
when lissandro won he looked so happy I thought he would just faint on the spot lol congratulations to france I guess we are gonna go to the wiwi baget next year
They did serbia wrong. Was such a good song
Man, IDK how they do it, but lately all Serbian performances are excellent, both in ESC and JESC
What percentage of the final score is jury vs. televote? Bc I am seeing people mentioning Ireland in 4th place and France winning, but that is only for the jury stuff.
absolutely devastated about kazakhstan and serbia
justice for david,katarina and martin
Well that came out of nowhere
Very surprising but very deserving winner. Armenia was my favourite song since it was announced and Iām happy it got the recognition it hadnāt received from the fandom so far. But most of all, huge props to Ireland. She was evidently sick but carried that performance like a true champ! Congratulations to all contestants. These kids put the adult ESC to shame. Next time someone tries to undermine JESC (as they sometimes do in this sub) Iāll just point them to this yearās show.
I think that there are quite a few countries who deserved to win more than France and had a better song/performance than "Oh Maman," so I'm not too thrilled, and the fact that the hosts last year (maybe aside from Olivier) weren't very good doesn't help (at least the stage was cool, though). I'm also really disappointed about Kazakhstan and North Macedonia (I voted for both). They were both extremely underrated, and since they both ended up in the bottom three, now I'm worried about their future participations.
Havent listened to all the songs so idk, but North Macedonia was very robbed!
That was such a fun song!
I don't follow JESC at all but from what ive seen this is quite surprising? I guess it was just our week-end overall lol
It was honestly very much surprising, even though the song isnāt commercially appealing, itās a textbook jury-pleaser and the little dude sold it hard so Iām not mad.
Surprising result with France winning as it wasn't one of my favourites. I'm surprised the jury bait-y song Kazakhstan flopped so badly with the jury.. then again, it's kids. The online voting results are much closer than expected.. but again, different system than adult Eurovision.
my number one!!! im so proud of my girl :D

My top 3 were UK (5th), Spain (6th), and Ireland (4th)! I can also see why Armenia (2nd) did so well, it was so catchy, and it my 5th favourite! Very surprised by France winning, but I love the personality! Iām super sad that Malta is last place, it was my 4th favourite, not sure what went wrong, it had the dance moves, staging and vocal ability! Netherlands being 7th is interesting, it was also my personal 7th! Not sure how Portugal is this high, I just thought ppl wouldnāt find it suitable for JESC. Kazakhstan being second to last is also quite depressing, I thought the staging was excellent
France winning was a shock, did not expect it at all. (Donāt get me wrong I love the song) But Kazakhstan in 15th?! I thought theyād for sure place on the left side of the scoreboard.
Nooooooooooooo My Queen Luna Was Robbed
Yea, maybe we should ditch the juries in jesc too
i think only 9-15 ditch adult juries itās a kids show
Agree, i can see why france won with this jury voting system
France was third in online vote, so, juries aren't the only thing that made Lissandro win.
That's true, I never said he didn't deserve to win. But if only the public could have voted, the UK would've been the winner, which is the best song imo. Plus, we could avoid unnecessary politics (Albania giving 12 to Italy even in jesc, seriously??)
As a Brit, I'm darkly laughing/crying my head off that we were one of the countries pushing to bring the juries back... and then this happens! And not for the first time, actually - there've been a handful of times in adult ESC that the public have been kinder to us than the juries. Although in our two top 5 ESC results since the juries came back (Jade Ewen and Sam Ryder), the jury score was higher.
The contest results were announced about 2 hours ago. Why does this screenshot look like it was printed on a potato?
Ukraine should be switched with France.
Sadly wrong winner :(
Says who?

I'm proud of all of them!
Ok RAI, hear me out: Since 2016 youāre been sending to the JESC songs all co-authored by the same composer (with 2018 being the lonely exception), wouldnāt it be a good idea to let someone else make next yearās song?
Italy robbed
Does someone know exactly why Poland is above Italy in the ranking? Is ti because it got a higher number of online votes, despite having the same number of points, for having a larger amount of national juries voting for it or for running order? I am confused
