[Samm]

Azerbaijan, Bulgria, Australia, Spain, Lavita, Ukraine, Austria, Armenia my favs of the night!

[EspeonBB]

Australia, Bulgaria, Ukraine, Armenia and Austria :love:

[Black Dagger]

Bulgaria, Latvia, UK, Spain, Armenia, Georgia or Australia pls.

JUST NOT RUSSIA.

[Amy Jade]

I'm voting Australia

[LukeB]

I'm voting Australia

Me too

[Pete.]

I liked Belgium, Azerbaijan, Bulgaria, Australia, Spain and Ukranie the most tbh

[Jay28jay2]

Someone vote australia for me <3

[Will.]

Can someone explain the voting system to me please?

What's the jury votes?

[Amy Jade]

Italy was dire

[Denver]

Lithuania, UK, Australia, Bulgaria or Sweden please

[LukeB]

Italy was dire

I agree, it's my least favourite.

[Black Dagger]

Can someone explain the voting system to me please?

What's the jury votes?

Music 'experts' who vote based on stage presence, vocals, chart factor etc.

[EspeonBB]

Sweden and Germany were the only songs I hated tbh :shame:

[Mokka]

Someone Vote Spain for me please

[Amy Jade]

Germany were crap too

[Shaun]

Conversely the bottom 5 should be Italy, Germany, Austria, Serbia and Croatia tbh

[Samm]

Germany was the worst

[Pete.]

Can someone explain the voting system to me please?

What's the jury votes?
Wd_RHS3f5-4

[T*]

Voted 4 times for Australia and 2 times for Bulgaria

[Amy Jade]

I quite liked Serbia on a basic level

[Will.]

Music 'experts' who vote based on stage presence, vocals, chart factor etc.

ah ok, thanks.

So they usually combine these points with the public but this year there keeping the jury and public separate?

[Shaun]

Why would you include that note in the voting information, Croatia?

[Mokka]

Spain, Malta, Australia

Should be top 3

[Amy Jade]

Please don't let this Russian act win, the song is awfully boring, nothing special and weak vocals

[Mokka]

Please don't let this Russian act win, the song is awfully boring, nothing special and weak vocals

:clap1:

[Amy Jade]

Malta :love:

[LukeB]

Georgia are hurting my eyes

[zakman440]

Rooting for a commonwealth triumph - Australia or the UK to win!

[T*]

Trying to vote for Malta too but it keeps saying user busy

[Amy Jade]

Austria :flutter:

[Black Dagger]

ah ok, thanks.

So they usually combine these points with the public but this year there keeping the jury and public separate?

Yeah they usually combine them yeah, so a jury could totally block out a televote's top vote if they don't align right, but now they both get a bigger say.

[Black Dagger]

Please don't let this Russian act win, the song is awfully boring, nothing special and weak vocals

He so will. Depressing.

[EspeonBB]

I think Australia is going to win

[Amy Jade]

JT

[LukeB]

Please don't let this Russian act win, the song is awfully boring, nothing special and weak vocals

I like the song :shame: but Polina didn't win so he shouldn't.

[Will.]

Yeah they usually combine them yeah, so a jury could totally block out a televote's top vote if they don't align right, but now they both get a bigger say.

Thank you, Lucas :)

This looks a bit like a school assembly

[Jay28jay2]

Please don't let this Russian act win, the song is awfully boring, nothing special and weak vocals

Better hope the US never participate in Eurovision. They would probably win most of the years.

Well, i guess would be World Vision by then, but anyway.

[Denver]

This is why the US wasnt invited utter trash

[LukeB]

Better hope the US never participate in Eurovision. They would probably win most of the years.

Well, i guess would be World Vision by then, but anyway.

Why would they win?

Abba and Celine Dion were big after eurovision wasn't they after competing?

[Black Dagger]

[Denver]

I've never understood why big stars snub Eurovision, it's massive promo. Good for JT

Because everyone in the UK looks down on it

[Johnnyuk123]

If people vote for the quieter songs then Sweden will do well.

[Pete.]

I can watch again

[T*]

[Amy Jade]

My Nan says Australia should win :clap1:

Nope, they're making an Asiavision song contest
But that will happen tho

I wish this would happen.

Yeah considering most of Europe watches it it's a huge promo opportunity

I'm surprised it's taken so long for an international star to perform

[Jay28jay2]

[EspeonBB]

Britney to perform next year?

:nono::nono::nono: No autotune or miming at Eurovision.

[T*]

Omg

[hijaxers]

This presenter woman got some ****e taste in dresses ! Everyone has been dreadful.

[Amy Jade]

[Denver]

[Samm]

welp he hasn't changed

[Johnnyuk123]

welp he hasn't changed

His clothes? Yup he stinks.

[Johnnyuk123]

Miming

[LukeB]

Fairytale is one of my favourite eurovision songs

[Samm]

Is this Jemini??

[Ross.]

Petra is amazing

[Braden]

I'm so happy they have this campy performance. I thought it would be all about Justin.

[Pete.]

:nono::nono::nono: No autotune or miming at Eurovision.
Welp

[Shaun]

I ****ing love Eurovision. This is amazing.

[Denver]

The grannies

[Johnnyuk123]

Petra is amazing

Petra is miming.

[T*]

[GiRTh]

'And a man in a hamster wheel' :joker:

[Natalie.]

Lmao at this :joker:

[LukeB]

[Johnnyuk123]

This has been an outstanding show.

[Braden]

LORDI :flutter:

[Denver]

Lordi :flutter:

[bots]

the sexual references are hilarious

[EspeonBB]

This really highlights how ridiculous Eurovision is :joker:

[Amy Jade]

I love him but

This > JT

[Johnnyuk123]

That girl licking that pole.:joker:

[Natalie.]

Is that Supernanny?

[EspeonBB]

Where are the results
http://cdn.mobsocmedia.com/uploads/sites/2/rihannajudging_1408032089.jpg

[T*]

I ADOrE HER

[Ross.]

I love Eurovision

[Amy Jade]

Welsh flag!

[Calderyon]

Why would they win?

But I really want Japan to compete :flutter:

I just think they have better resources than most of Europe to make that happen. If it was US vs Europe in this kind of contest, US would have a better chance of winning than others imo.

If however the rest of the World ie: Asian countries (Japan, South Korea, India etc. ), African (South Africa, Morocco, Egypt etc.), North, South and Middle American (Canada, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico etc.) etc. it would be a different story.

[bots]

That girl licking that pole.:joker:

she was w**king a pole earlier :joker:

[Johnnyuk123]

That bloke is the Blatter off Eurovision.

[Will.]

[Will.]

OMG I LOVE HER

[Jay28jay2]

[Ross.]

[Johnnyuk123]

Sweden have tore the follicles from my scalp.

They know how to put on a good show :love:

[EspeonBB]

The interval acts were amazing :love:

[Pete.]

The interval goes on forever

[Johnnyuk123]

Best Eurovision show by a mile so far. Whoever wins and runs it next will have too up their game BIG TIME!

[Braden]

Why are there empty seats in that arena?

I would give my lest testicle to be there :/

[Johnnyuk123]

[Braden]

[Denver]

[bots]

I want them back next year.

then vote vote vote for sweden :laugh:

[Amy Jade]

Come on Australia

[LukeB]

Will this been done in 40 mins?

[Pete.]

I would have thought that the interval would have been shorter this year because the televote could have been counted while the judges' scores were read out because they have already been determined

[LukeB]

Yass :clap1:

[Samm]

Yas

[Amy Jade]

Yesssss 12

[EspeonBB]

[Jay28jay2]

Ausralia winning :clap1:

Russia will get Azerbajins points

[Braden]

[Johnnyuk123]

[T*]

We're just gonna scrape some votes this year

[Jay28jay2]

[Samm]

Not only 7

[LukeB]

More points for us :clap1:

[Denver]

Yes

[Amy Jade]

Ireland give Oz 12

[Shaun]

I'm not content with this 'Ireland no longer giving 12pts to the UK' nonsense

[Samm]

Ireland feeling that Sax?

[Amy Jade]

Belgium...really?

[Pete.]

We are going to flop on the televote though. If this had been the combined vote I doubt we would have got any points from Czech Republic for example

[T*]

I'm glad for her

[Jay28jay2]

shes really pretty

[Glenn.]

Graham Norton kills me with this part

[Pete.]

Georgia's presenter a Knee Stan?

[Shaun]

Graham clocking the Georgian assassin

[Natalie.]

Can Ireland go back to 12 points please
