[EspeonBB]

I wanted Australia to win but I'm happy for Ukraine <3

[Pete.]

[LukeB]

I like their song but it's not winner worthy :umm2:

[Mokka]

I'm sorry cause I know people wanted Australia but I'm so happy <333

[Amy Jade]

The ****ing poles ovee here voting for themselves **** off

[Pete.]

[Braden]

That was exciting but I think the scoring needs to be 100% televoting imo

[Natalie.]

Oh her, she was awful :omgno:

[Samm]

I loved Ukraine I'm glad <33

[Mitchell]

Um what

[bots]

so funny ... and as always political

[T*]

I'm not mad at this
I'm so glad Australia did so well but what can you do?!
At least it ain't Russia

[Jay28jay2]

I love the system... it just robbed Australia of their earned crown. Who is this irrelivent?

[Amy Jade]

I hope we leave the EU

[zakman440]

I like their song but it's not winner worthy :umm2:

Exactly how I feel tbh. A huge letdown.

[Johnnyuk123]

A great night ruined by a poor song.

[T*]

It is so sweet though

[Samm]

This new voting system is amazing and so tense much better then the last one which you knew who won like half way through

[Ross.]

Gutted for Dami, so close :(

[Shaun]

[Ross.]

[Natalie.]

I need more cheesy songs

The hosts :clap1:

[Amy Jade]

Petra and Måns were amazing

[Mokka]

What??????

[Denver]

Im over the moon the UK gave Lithuania 12 points

[Scarlett.]

The new voting system made this a lot more fun to watch this year, usually by halfway you know who will win.

[Ross.]

A bit of a mess at us giving Lithuania 12

[Pete.]

The winner again was Petra /thread

[bots]

What??????

i told you not to guess a winner :joker:

[Amy Jade]

ok settle down little miss ukip

:laugh2:

[Shaun]

Im over the moon the UK gave Lithuania 12 points both times

[Ross.]

Europe hate the UK </3

[Calderyon]

Eh... Ukraine won? With that? Come on.

Australia was robbed, beaten down and buried, in terms of not winning this. But they did well to come in second place.

Televoters :fist:

[Mokka]

Eurovision is soooo messy

That 's why I love it I guess :shrug:

[EspeonBB]

I always scream at the fumes Eurovision causes year after year

[Black Dagger]

Being in the EU has **** all to do with us flopping.

But they did deserve much better.

[Braden]

Now that it's sunk in I feel a little gutted for Dami :/

[zakman440]

Who's ready for Ukraine 2017?!

https://c.o0bg.com/rf/image_960w/Boston/2011-2020/2015/02/20/BostonGlobe.com/National/Images/Par8102433.jpg

[Shaun]

just ban all political songs tbh

[Denver]

Still cant at the UK undeservedly flopping they were top 10 on the night

[Samm]

If we do leave the EU we will get even worse results so I don't see why people want to leave it won't be a benefit lol

[Amy Jade]

No but really my uncles wife is polish so **** you right back :hee:

Couldn't he get a nice British girl? :joker:

[joeysteele]

Not sure I like this voting system at all but even though I liked the song Australia entered, I was really glad a European Nation won in the end.
I honestly cannot see how Australia can be credibly in this contest.

I'll get over it eventually and this was a really good show tonight.
Felt sorry for Joe and Jake, they did rather well in the jury votes,we even got 6 from Russia

[T*]

Who's ready for Ukraine 2017?!

https://c.o0bg.com/rf/image_960w/Boston/2011-2020/2015/02/20/BostonGlobe.com/National/Images/Par8102433.jpg

[Amy Jade]

In all seriousness we did not deserve to be almost at the bottom, I wish it was a song contest and not all political

[Braden]

Now let us wait for everyone to realise that Ukraine is equally as homophobic as Russia :p

[Calderyon]

Ukraine do have my full sympathies (in terms of the situation and circumstances), but still that was the wrong winner for this contest.

Last years was much better.

[Pete.]

If it's wasn't political then it will be geographically biased even more so then it is already

[Amy Jade]

If it's wasn't political then it will be geographically biased even more so then it is already

I wish it was just down to the song. I know it's naive but that's how I judge the show and I wish everyone else did

[EspeonBB]

Final results btw:
http://i.imgur.com/fhYAlsJ.png

At least we weren't last I guess

[Denver]

I hope the 10 million UK viewers vote out of Europe

[Braden]

The only thing I don't like about this voting is that it can launch someone from the bottom right to the top. It just doesn't seem fair imo.

[Babayaro.]

So gutted for Joe and Jake, they deserved a lot better, 15th at least. A bit of a ****ing joke coming 24th tbh

[Crimson Dynamo]

What a disgusting mess

[Calderyon]

The only thing I don't like about this voting is that it can launch someone from the bottom right to the top. It just doesn't seem fair imo.

It isn´t fair, but they probably don´t care, as they did this to get it more exciting and tense. Not to mention unpredictable.

UK go from top of the right side to bottom and Poland bottom to top 10 its disgusting

[T*]

It seems horrid for Dami to be stripped of it
Next year I really hope it goes back to normal because it was really ****ing random and in the end it's MASSIVE compared to melodifestivalen, they shouldn't try mixing the two. I'm not mad about Ukraine winning, I'm mad at how much it was tampered with tonight to make it 'more entertaining' when in the end it really plays with your emotions

[T*]

Like, Eurovision to me, should feel comfy. Not like this. Not intense or snatching the victory away from people. Comfortable.

[Samm]

I really hope it doesn't change back, this voting system has just made last year's voting system seem boring to me now

[Ross.]

My heart broke for Czech Republic when they got 0 </3

[EspeonBB]

My heart broke for Czech Republic when they got 0 </3

ikr </3 She didn't deserve that

[Pete.]

The Poland mess will make the system alter next year I reckon.

The fact we would have came 10th last year :facepalm:

[MTVN]

Wasn't a big fan of the way they did that voting, all felt a bit too rushed and manic when Australia are miles ahead one minute and second place the next and when Poland go from bottom to top 10 or whatever

Credit to the hosts though, they were great and the song they did was genius

[Braden]

The fact that Germany did better than us on the televoting is just ****ed up :p

[Pete.]

The fact we would have came 10th last year :facepalm:
Mess really?

[Shaun]

I didn't mind the voting because it was a lot less predictable but it wasn't any less tragic :(

[Shaun]

tbf we wouldn't have been 10th last year :laugh: there was literally half the points there usually are. So if we had, say, half of tonight's total (31) that would've put us 18th last year.

Yeah, I can't moan about it too much because it resulted in Ukraine winning and they were my favourite of the night.

I suppose it always has played with emotions, especially since so many people have left the contest with nul points.

[EspeonBB]

The Russians are going to be fumed though, they win the televote but still lose to Ukraine of all countries :joker:

[MTVN]

Also worth remembering that our own public vote was very different to our jury so we can't be too bitter about the discrepancy between the two with our own act

[Pete.]

The public vote and jury vote for our country were equally tragic

[Black Dagger]

Our jury giving Georgia 12 was magical ty.

[MTVN]

Our jury giving Georgia 12 was magical ty.

Spot on

[T*]

Yeah but still, they've never been like 'LOOK HOW WELL YOUVE DONE!!' and then been like 'lol 0 points 4 uuuu'

Screaming @ the creepy Russian guy's shocked face at losing (the one next to Sergey who always sits creepily at the press conference and doesn't look real) :joker:

[Headie]

Belgium Top 10 despite being the first to perform :love:

I really wish it had drawn second half and closed the show... I think it could've got top 5 tbh. Still my second fave of the night!

[LukeB]

Spain did not deserve to be that low either.

[Braden]

I was convinced the top two would be Russia and Ukraine so I'm glad Australia nabbed the second spot. Also very happy that Bulgaria made the top 5, And Douwe (Netherlands) beat Hovi (Israel).

[Braden]

I actually love how random the UK televoting is every year :p

[EspeonBB]

I'm here for Verka Serduchka hosting next year

[T*]

Couldn't he get a nice British girl? :joker:

Evidently not if they're racist psychopaths...

[Headie]

I really hope it doesn't change back, this voting system has just made last year's voting system seem boring to me now

I agree, I much prefer this voting system tbh, it's more suspenseful and it also lets us feel a bit better about ourselves seeing our name come up on the jury votes a bit more :laugh:

[_Tom_]

Am I seeing things? :laugh: If only!

When has Polish been a race?

[Headie]

It doesn't pay off in the end 💔

Idc seeing those 12 points for UK was the highlight of the voting for me :laugh:

[T*]

When has Polish been a race?

Racism is not just about colour, you fool.

[Denver]

Despite the result the boys did us proud and got us a 1st 12 since Belarus gave Blue 12

[Denver]

Racism is not just about colour, you fool.

Racism is about race, Polish/Poland is not a race, you fool.

[zakman440]

I saw a good point raised on Twitter a few minutes ago - Ukraine could possibly pull out of hosting if they can't afford the costs. I wonder who they'd choose as a replacement broadcaster if it were actually to happen...

[Denver]

The UK is known for stepping into host also wouldnt Ukraine pulling out take the choice out of their hands?

[Braden]

Hmm I don't know why they would re-enter if they couldn't afford it, but who knows what could happen. It would be interesting to follow.

Also, Malta being paid dust by the televoters was a little gutting too.

[zakman440]

I use the term "they" loosely as I don't know whether it would be the Ukrainian broadcaster or the EBU's decision.

Australia beating Ukraine in Semi 2 is a surprise. Maybe the running order made a difference?

[Ross.]

poor Nicky for Ireland :worry:

[T*]

Estonia being last tho

[Braden]

So the head of delegation has just said that he wants to make sure that Ukraine does host the show.

[Samm]

A massive welp @ the fact this is the first time the czech republic have made it into the final and they were given zero points from the televotes

[Denver]

Does Zero points mean not one person phoned to vote?

[T*]

I thought that said doesn't then omg

Actually Joe and Jake are #16 and Dami is in the top 40

[Denver]

http://esctracker.com

Tells you how well the songs are doing and in which country

[Braden]

I don't know if Dami was genuinely happy with the amount of televotes she got or that she thought she had won once they'd been announced :joker:

[Ross.]

aMgW54HBOS0

This is just so amazing

Justin Timberlake hew?

[Firewire]

Petra was outstanding. Mans was very good as well.

Verka to host next year please.

[Denver]

I don't know if Dami was genuinely happy with the amount of televotes she got or that she thought she had won once they'd been announced :joker:

When your 300 points ahead I guess you would expect to win

[Firewire]

Can we just at Poland jumping from LAST PLACE to top 10.

[Ross.]

Love love peace peace <3

[Ross.]

oh that was meant to be all caps

[T*]

Petra was outstanding. Mans was very good as well.

Verka to host next year please.



I DIDNT THINK Of THIS
I WANT VERKA TO HOST SO BAD

[Firewire]

It's annoying because using last year's system Australia would have won. But Malta would've been bottom 3.

It's a weird situation because both systems benefits different countries. I enjoyed the results, very tense.

[Ross.]

I want Petra and Mans as permanent hosts imo

[Firewire]

That's so frustrating :fist:

[Braden]

I suppose the only big difference there is that Poland and Malta (and maybe Israel) have benefited from the new scoring system, and obviously Ukraine. It's actually a lot similar than what I thought it would be.

[Firewire]

UK didn't do as well as I expected, I assumed 16th but in actual fact 22nd using last year's system. Worse than Bonnie Tyler. A real shame.

[Braden]

It is quite brutal. To go from getting twelve points and doing okay with the jury, and then literally getting eight points when the top getter had over four hundred :/

[Braden]

...I wonder if Russia will participate next year?

[Firewire]

...I wonder if Russia will participate next year?

Russia gave Ukraine 12 points in the televote I think so it's possible

[Mokka]

I still don't understand how Ukraine won that

Politics suck I tell ya

[Firewire]

Total politics, people supported the message.

I am so glad the juries vote. Imagine a televote only result. Awful.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah I don't think I'll like this system much with this diaspora voting

Russia, Armenia, Ukraine, Poland etc will always be top 10 with this system so that sucks a bit.

[Shaun]

I think it was a good year for songs but the UK being outside of the top 20 is just laughable really. The fact that Germany got more televotes than us is the most galling: that was a 10 year old raiding Claire's and rushing together a song in twenty minutes, and she still beats us?

I mean I guess there's a reason European charts are even worse than ours but damn.

But it's just confusing. We're charting better than Croatia, Malta, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Germany, Armenia and the Czech Republic according to that ESC Tracker site but we can't finish above them? It's odd. I had a feeling Frans would be the best charter in the UK (our home act aside). I just wish I'd placed that bet on Ukraine that I was talking about yesterday :laugh:

[Shaun]

I'm tempted to place a bet on Ukraine winning, I think she's probably the right amount of "different" enough whilst appealing to their 20-odd neighbours.

:inamood:

[Morgan.]

Not a fan of the winner or he new voting system.

[Nicky91]

i can be proud of Malta, 12th place is not bad :)

[rubymoo]

Wow at the Eurovision!

I loved the new voting system as it squashed the political vote, and yes it was still very political!

I feel Australia led only because the countries that gave them points didn't want to give those points to a country they didn't like and well she is the new girl on the playground and they all want to be her friend!

For me i didn't like Australia's song, it was boring! But i did like Poland's song and it showed that the general public did too to push it from bottom place to near the top.

But then i thought the UK song was pretty spot on, and we had a good spot on the Eurovision so why did we do so bad? The answer is that Europe don't like us.....it's that simple, they've never liked us, we're like the uncle nobody wants:laugh: and with a music taste that gave Georgia 12 points can you blame them!

Eurovision has never been about the best song, it's about who the countries align themselves with, and it looks like we're on our own....so we may as well be :hee:

er the UK song had a terrible spot :umm2:

The Australia song was a polished contemporary pop song and was executed flawlessly. Our song was at best average. Eurovision can be about the best song as we saw last year and with Conchita.

If we send a great song it will do well but our last great song was probably Katrina and the Waves - guess what? - it won

[Amy Jade]

Our last great song was Jade Ewen imo and we got top 5 iirc

According to a lot of sources being in the second half is very good!

They were in the same position Katrina and the waves were when they won, and sorry but i thought Australia's song wasn't good, if you check back a lot of the Europe fence sitters (neutral countries) gave them 12 points.

And imo the UK song was quite good :hee: but my vote went to Poland :hee:

I liked Poland as well admittedly I only watched from song 20 and the voting, it might not be a popular view but I don't think Australia should be in the competition at all, what is the reason for them being involved :shrug:


Oh Justin Timberlake :love:

[Greg!]

I wanted Australia to win but Ukraine's song was actually decent so I don't really mind

I'm with you on this Cherie, Australia should not be in the competition, but i get the feeling that now America and China are watching, and with the addition of Justin Timberlake making an appearance :love: it's just a matter of time that it'll be called Worldovision!

[Headie]

Our last great song was Jade Ewen imo and we got top 5 iirc

Yep, 3rd in the jury voting and 10th in the televoting. We would've come 4th with this new system.

Yeah I think this year's system is better than last year's one. Poland was awful but they definitely deserved to finish better than #19 based on how well they did in the televote, and vice versa with Malta

Malta had a better song, but apparently the public have no good taste in music :joker: :joker:



i feel gutted for Ira :(

[Braden]

The Facebook fans are always such an accurate representation for what song will do randomly well.

Like, last year everyone was raving about Albania and that did very well in the televoting (only to brought down by the jury), whilst this year it was Poland and they came third in the televoting.

[Firewire]

Poor Czech Republic

[EspeonBB]

Yeah I liked her song, but at least the juries ranked her high and #12 is pretty good

Poland and Lithuania have always been the top 2 in our televoting for the past 3 or 4 years now, I'm guessing it's lots of Polish/Lithuanian UK residents voting for their home country every year.

Yeah, that's true. In general the comments on the Eurovision FB page were favouring Poland this year (on a European basis). I have no idea why though. I must have missed something with the Polish entry.

[Firewire]

I didn't like the Polish entry at all, the surge in televotes was totally bizarre.

[Braden]

I think Australia performing after Poland actually hurt them in regard to the televoting.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Poland:

Votes from the juries: 2,3,1,1 :facepalm: total 7

Televote: 222 :laugh2:

Now why was that?


Well its simple - Polish immigrants all over europe being fiercely loyal despite a crap song

[Denver]

On the upside I had my top 4 favs in the top ten 3 of which made the top 5

Or too many UK expats who are too tight/ unpatriotic to pick up the phone :fan: obviously the tight ones are from Scotland

There you go Adam got to take the positives

[Shaun]

I was thinking that :laugh: ashamed of Australia giving us nothing (except their jury). We can only depend upon Malta and Ireland (and Ireland have gone from 12pts every year to 4 or 5 now...)

[Braden]

Australia gave us the most points out of any country.

We got:

4 points from Australia
3 points from Ireland &
1 point from Malta.

[Black Dagger]

Yeah my favourite finished 4th I guess. Two years in a row. But I expected Poli to manage it anyway.

[Jordan.]

He's bi btw

cahh this news

-knew I should've checked before I said anything :bawling:-

I can't remember the list of countries' juries that gave us points... I know those three did and I think we got some random ones as well?

[Denver]

We got random points from Russia

[Shaun]

They probably pissed their points away on the countries that had no competition to them tbf, seems like something they'd do.

[Denver]

Poli is a weird one for me I wasn't a big fan until I saw her live and she soon became a fav of mine and I'm glad she got 4th because a lot of people wrote her off

[joeysteele]

The only song still in my head from last night is 'Sweden's', 'If I was sorry'.

[Braden]

Yeah, we got random points all over the place from the juries.

The televoting system was like something from the ****ing Hunger Games though. I was literally cringing at Czech Republic getting 0, and then all of a sudden we're next out with 8 :p

[Shaun]

That was a very quick change of emotions yeah. Wincing at Czech Republic to total indignance in two seconds.

[Braden]

At least Germany still came last :p

Omg one of the Danish jury members messed her vote up and caused the votes to be messed up.

Ukraine should have won by 9 points.

[Nicky91]

I'm staying a fan of my Queen Ira Losco, she was robbed of victory once again :(

[Jamie89]

My favourites were Italy, Ukraine, Poland and Bulgaria, and I also quite liked Croatia and Sweden. The 'Love Love Peace Peace' interval act was the best thing I've ever seen :laugh:

[Braden]

There's a non-story out atm about a Danish jury member distributing her points in reverse order. Australia would have got 12 points while Ukraine would have got none, but Ukraine would have still won by 11(?) points.

[Shaun]

Yeah the only reason we got points from them was because of that. Which must mean she put Ukraine bottom and us 2nd bottom. And I've seen a picture of her and let's just say that I'm glad she's close to death anyway the heartless slut.

[Braden]

:joker: Yeah she put Ukraine right at the bottom, had no idea we were second last though lmao.

[Shaun]

It's just a guess since we got 2pts from them and Ukraine originally got 3. And the change saw us both drop off entirely. But I think it'd make mathematical sense.

The bottom two look photoshopped though :p

[Mystic Mock]

There was a lot of strong songs this year, in particular I found songs like Hungary, Australia, and Austria's to grow on me as the contest went along.

I felt that Hungary, Georgia, Cyprus, Croatia, and Austria were underrated in the vote too, although in such a strong year it's gonna be hard to give out the "right" result.

The EBU has released a statement regarding a petition (?) launched against Ukraine's win:

[Black Dagger]

Lame @ people.

The juries didn't go for Russia, whereas the televote didn't go for Australia, Ukraine came 2nd in both. It warranted winning, even if I didn't care for it as a winner and it's probably in my bottom 2 of the 10's.

I've been listening to Bianca's song again and I really think it would've done better than Joe & Jake tbh, even if there were lots of female singers this year. Without the reggae it would be amazing and probably would've got us higher than 24th.

Both songs ripped off Uptown Funk.

Hardly?

No Eurovision in the US in the future, i guess.

[Calderyon]

The Belgium song is better than Sax.

Russia out next year: http://www.eltelevisero.com/2016/05/rusia-abandona-el-festival-de-eurovision.html

not really surprised and don't care either

[LukeB]

it's in a different language so I can't read :worry:

[Josiah.]

I think why Eurovision had such low viewership on Logo is because not a lot of people have it.

[T*]

I don't see why they don't bloody put it on Netflix worldwide

[Firewire]

It's live on YouTube around the world I think (and on the Eurovision website)

Good, now points can go to someone more deserving rather than the eastern countries circle jerking it so they won't be invaded
