Eurovision 2019 shocks

[sleleen]

Instead of having them all spread out in threads, analyse the results and shocks from yesterday’s mess. I’ll start

- Poland NQ’ing by 2 points to Belarus (who they gave 2 points to sksksks):(
- Greece coming 21st I-
- San Marino top 10 in televote
- Tamara 2nd in jury vote
- Ireland coming 41st
- Cyprus coming 9th in their semi
- Czech and Malta getting low televotes and Sweden getting a massive difference in their tele and jury 2 years in a row

[Denver]

Ireland was expected to come rock bottom

Australia not doing top 5 was a shock, 9th is still amazing for them

[Denver]

North Macedonia winning

Ireland was expected to come rock bottom

Not rock bottom, it was expected like 12-14th in semi with some thinking it still had a chance to qualify

North Macedonia were the biggest surprise but thankfully the televote massacred them.

I had a hunch that Norway would fall into the lower half of the results just because it was a very "only the countries west of Germany will like it" song, but I was pleasantly surprised by their dominance :love:

Sweden only getting 90-odd points in the televote as well, I thought that'd be the kinda basic thing Europe love. I was expecting at least 180pts.

[Denver]

Not rock bottom, it was expected like 12-14th in semi with some thinking it still had a chance to qualify

It was given a 7% chance of qualifying

- Netherlands not dogwalking the jury let alone not even winning it
- Telemoveis coming 15th in the semi
