Eurovision Grand Final Discussion Thread BBC1 8pm

[Denver]

This is the best chance we have ever had to win that I can remember, God it gonna be a nerve raking night

[Nicky91]

only one who compete this year are Ukraine so not very nervewrecking at all


:laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: :laugh3: and hypocrite osterdahl saying ''no politics in eurovision'' bull**** no EBU you've failed with this stupid contest

[Denver]

Tonight is our night

[Vanessa]

I'm loving how they organised this year show.
The graphics look beautiful and I love Mika and Laura Pausini presenting.
Norway, Sweden and Italy : I'm loving them.
Who i think will win : probably Ukraine.
Going get some nibbles after work, then plonk myself in front of the TV

[Crimson Dynamo]

Ours is a good song but its not unusual enough to win for me and i think the sob vote will carry that awful Ukraine bumpkin rap thing to win

If not the I personally think Sweden will win, or Spain on the ass vote

[arista]

Hardly, we already know who the Winner is

Sweden is amazing, would love that song to win

[Vanessa]

I was watching a documentary about past Eurovision contestants.
They showed the contest through the years and when I saw the Berlin was coming down i got emotional again.
I remember I was at school and we all watched it happen with tears in our eyes. :bawling:

[Vanessa]

I usually like rock, but I'm not feeling this.

the finland entry is very generic

I hate it when people wear shorts or vests just to show if emphasise their tattoos .

[Vanessa]

Awww that was beautiful :love:

[bots]

the spanish entry is a cheeky little number

[MTVN]

Spain - 10/10

[bots]

[Vanessa]

Ukraine is so good :dance:

[Beso]

What time do the results start?

[bots]

the ukraine song wouldnt do anything in any other year, so it will be interesting where it places

[MTVN]

What time do the results start?

Probably about 10.45

[Vanessa]

That's pretty good from Germany.

[MTVN]

I actually really like that Germany one

[MTVN]

Wait a minute I've just realised that's Mika who sang Grace Kelly hosting

[MTVN]

What the hell is he doing there

[Denver]

He really popular been a judge on the X Factor there for years

[bots]

The moment when Graham Norton takes this seriously...

[James]

I like this.

[Denver]

UK won

[Vanessa]

Well done UK. That was good!

[bots]

that was really good

[MTVN]

He smashed it in the last minute with the final chorus and guitar play

Before that I was a bit underwhelmed with him trapped inside his massive diamond

[Vanessa]

that was really good

I really hope the UK does well.

[Denver]

Im actually so proud of Sam, he gave more then just a vocal he gave the performance the UK have craved for so long

[Babayaro.]

UK & Poland top 2 please :fc:

[Vanessa]

I'm wondering if Spain could win it. I wouldn't mind that at all.

[bots]

I can see Moldova doing a Poland in 2016 by flopping in the jury vote but smashing the public vote and rising up the scoreboard

Well everyone who was hat the jury vote yesterday said they thought the UK won the Jury vote

[MTVN]

Good thing I only do it for the public votes!

[Denver]

Good thing I only do it for the public votes!

Well the televote is done in lump points only the jury vote is done 1 by 1

[MTVN]

I thought they did the jury vote then the host in each country appears to announce the public result?

[Babayaro.]

nah its done the other way around

[bots]

you could still be looking at 20+ shots :laugh:

[Babayaro.]

If voting was free I was gonna vote for Moldova 20 times!

[Vanessa]

The UK could do well this year.

[MTVN]

nah its done the other way around

Oh dear I'm out the loop

[Vanessa]

Here comes the jury votes.

[Vanessa]

The audience votes always flips the board upside down. I love it!

RIP :joker:

[bots]

I've given up the shots :joker:

in previous years you could take a shot per point :joker:

[Babayaro.]

this is mad

[MTVN]

I liked this better when they announced the 8, 10, 12 points each time with the hosts fruitlessly trying to hurry them up

[bots]

germany's song was one of the better ones and they havent got a point yet :laugh:

[bots]

wow france gave us 12

[MTVN]

Jeez now that is worth a shot

[MTVN]

I was going to place a few bets tonight and now I’m kicking myself lol

[rusticgal]

I don’t enjoy the Eurovision contest anymore tbh…however this was a vote for Ukraine and speaks volumes. Good for them.

[user104658]

Will UK end up hosting next year anyway?

1) it’s obviously not going to be in Ukraine.
2) UK came 2nd
3) Current political reasons/UK support of Ukraine…

[Babayaro.]

Will be interesting to see our approach to next year’s entry as the only way is up here

[Vanessa]

Yeah, Ukraine won't be able to host it

[hijaxers]

Any other year we had that won

So right there my lovely ~ 2nd pretty good though :cheer2:

[smudgie]

First time I have watched the whole show in decades.
Really enjoyed it, some fantastic talent tonight.
Pleased the Ukrainian entry won, shows how we all support them.
UK did amazingly well, great singer and good song.

[bots]

1) it’s obviously not going to be in Ukraine.
2) UK came 2nd
3) Current political reasons/UK support of Ukraine…

i think its quite likely unless there is a massive improvement in ukraine, and lets face it, ukraine has 10000 priorities ahead of paying for a singing contest

Not taking anything away from Sam, but I think a lot of europe has seen how much the UK has been supporting ukraine, and thats probable softened political opinion of us

[Babayaro.]

Where did we place in the televote?

I can’t be arsed working it out

[Vanessa]

I do think that's very likely tbf, if it was in Ukraine it could be in Lviv or Poland would be the other option

[MTVN]

Yeah I'm curious about that too, guessing 6th/7th

Never mind, see Adams answered!

[Babayaro.]

I see all the people tediously saying we would get zero points are jumping on the “its a fix!” bandwagon :rolleyes:

Big difference between something being a fix and something being predictable, i.e a Ukraine win

[Strictly Jake]

That was so exciting!

Sweden was my favourite overall song

But wow I'm so happy for the UK! And obviously Ukraine for winning

[Liam-]

We broke the record for the biggest jump between consecutive finale placings :love:

Honestly such a wild experience to see us actually do good, hopefully this gives the bbc a kick up the arse and we don’t slide backwards again

[Withano]

Sam Ryder for king of England

[Denver]

I told you all we would do really well

[Mystic Mock]

My ratings of tonight's performances.

Czech Republic - 6/10
Romania - 7/10
Portugal - 8/10
Finland - 9/10
Switzerland - 6/10
France - 9/10
Norway - 9/10
Armenia - 5/10
Italy - 8/10
Spain - 6/10 - Not really my song, but I'm happy to see them do well.
Netherlands - 9/10
Ukraine - 9/10 - I know that some people will be upset about why they've won, but tbf the song is actually catchy. And in fairness it's not like it's a normal situation that they're going through.
Germany - 8/10
Lithuania - 5/10
Azerbaijan - 8/10
Belgium - 5/10
Greece - 7/10
Iceland - 4/10
Moldova - 9/10
Sweden - 9/10
Australia - 8/10
United Kingdom - 10/10 - Sending out a really good song with a strong vocalist gets us a good result, funny that.
Poland - 9/10
Serbia - 10/10
Estonia - 9/10

I've got to be honest I thought my eyes were playing me up when I saw the UK & Spain in the top 3.:joker:

[bots]

We all knew last years performance was the pits. The difference between this year and last year was night and day

[Liam-]

Genuinely didn’t expect to come anywhere close to the top 5 in the televotes, that’s mad

[Denver]

Genuinely didn’t expect to come anywhere close to the top 5 in the televotes, that’s mad

I had us about 8th so was surprised we got top 5 because it takes a while to gain trust back after years of bad results

[MTVN]

Hopefully this will mark a bit of a turning point in how we treat the contest but then I remember thinking that after Jade Ewan did so well and then we returned to the same old rubbish (apart from Blue)

[Alf]

You can thank Boris for us finishing as high as we did. The rest of Europe respects us again.

[Denver]

We recieved votes from every countries over all votes

[Mystic Mock]

Boris Becker's German.:hehe:

Seriously Boris Johnson has done good politically when it comes to the Ukraine situation.

[Cherie]

Oh please the only reason the UK did well was due to the support for Ukraine, it was obvious they were going to be top 2

[Vanessa]

Still laughing about Norway.
It's put me in a really good mood. :laugh2:
Give that wolf a banana! :dance:

[GoldHeart]

I don't use tiktok so I'd never heard of the guy representing the UK.

I never thought I'd see the UK finish in SECOND place ,in this day and age. The last time I saw the UK do so well was when Andrew Lloyd Webber cringely , travelled around Europe begging for votes & points. And we finished like FIFTH back then.


I knew Ukraine would win,was kind of obvious.

Eurovision as a whole use to just make me laugh,as it has very little to do with the act or song & more about bias opinion & politics . Someone could go on stage and burp & break wind & still get loads of points. And another could have a beautiful song, and barely get any points.
