its not wide open at all, ukraine is bound to win :laugh:

They will struggle with the jury vote, and I just don't feel rhe televote will make the difference or if many countries will get onto the whole sympathy bandwagon

It's not which country do you feel sorry for but I'd guess all the Facebook look iv got a Ukraine flag now users will vote that terrible song as they think they are sticking it to Putin?

In some ways if it does win it will as Bots says show the whole thing up for what it really is

next years event will be live from a bunker :laugh:

Waste of time anyone watching it.

Ukraine will Win

Ukraine is the Fixed Winner



Pathetic

a week or so ago i’d said our entry wasn’t all that, but after hearing it a few more times it has definitely grew on me :clap1:

just goes to show what good staging can do for a song too

That's not new it's been political for decades :joker:. Eurovision is just about the spectacle... it doesn't really matter who wins.

It's always been semi political but you've never been able to rely solely on that and let's not act like this situation is 'normal' or representative of general Eurovision history. Supporting a country that's been invaded/suffered thousands of deaths/millions displaced is a bit more of an extreme circumstance than any other year and can be forgiven for this contest surely

eurovision has always been about the bizarre acts on display, the awful songs and the way "judges" award points :laugh:

That won't change tonight

not so much about bizarre acts this year


too many sad songs doing well :idc: :idc: ew ew ew ew ew



one of worst contests results wise this year



poor Malta, Ireland, Austria, Israel, Latvia whom at least send lovely uplifting feel good bops and don't make it, because depressing **** gets too overhyped

hoping for lowest viewer ratings ever for tonight's final

:inamood:

British people finding excuses for their bad results instead of realizing their songs are not good enough, nothing new

Malta also wants to withdraw from the contest next year if Ukraine wins, then the contest has become too political

and have filed a complaint to the EBU to ban Ukraine from this years final last minute

Maneskin are back tonight. I'm so excited! :dance:

That's what I'm here for. The bizarre staging and costumes. That's why I think Norway is so brilliant.
They're what Eurovision is all about. Fun

italian garbage

what fun? a very depressing year :idc:


could rather have 40 songs from Ukraine next year, hope more follow Malta's example next year and withdraw

And yet they won. I think they're brilliant.
Of course I know not everyone likes glam rock.

Ukraine winning would be the best result for me.
I really hope they can do it.
It would mean so much for them.

well EBU have sabotaged the real winner Malta, so yes of course Ukraine has won


Hypocrite Osterdahl, loser executive supervisor :idc: :idc:

Let's go, Torino. Are you ready? :cheer2:

ok sorry for my negativity, but i will watch the show tonight as a neutral viewer and in my judging role, with my scoresheet, but only the performances i think, will watch results back the next morning

Im listening to The Most-Streamed Eurovision Top 50 Chart with Michelle Visage on Radio 2 at the mo

:dance:

I just hope that people will be happy with a top 10 finish, and don't kick up a huge stink when we lose.

A good time slot though.
