Mans literally just did that last year.

[Jay28jay2]

Just remembered that they had a voting change. It may actually give us a better chance (UK)

[Ross.]

Are the results announced differently this year

[Firewire]

Yeah the jury have more of an influence

[Ross.]

No but are they announced differently or do they still go through each country and the winner is announced before the end

[Firewire]

I heard they're only revealing 12 and 1-10 appear on screen which is silly imo

[Headie]

Molly was hyped all during rehearsals AND had the pimp slot and still finished 17th so I'm not expecting any higher this time round

[Braden]

It would need to be done if they want to fit the other scoring in though.

Youtube video

This video explains it all, Ross.

[Headie]

^I've watched that video before and am still clueless

[Firewire]

I don't like it

[Samm]

When's the first semi?

[Firewire]

Tuesday

It's supposed to be a suspenseful way to reveal the winner. It might work, but hopefully if it ends up being anti-climax it'll go back to normal next year.

I haven't watched the rehearsals but apparently Ukraine slayed. Here for them winning

I don't get why they can't just merge the jury and televotes like previous years?

[Black Dagger]

Only if it stops Sergey. It's ****ing dirge.

[Black Dagger]

I hate how they're only announcing top 10 with televoting. Too much will be going on on screen to take in after some vodkas.

I don't give a **** if they feel humiliated being announced as last place in the televote with 4 points. They signed up for this ****.

Life made

[Braden]

Are they only revealing the top 10? This whole thing is such a ridiculous idea then.

[EspeonBB]

I don't know why they didn't just keep the old system? I assume they did this to cut time since last year's show overran but there's so much other stuff they could cut instead (like the million interval acts)

Axe Jon Ola Sand!

With the televote. Jury voting is presented as it is yearly. All 43 before the top 10 are announced one by one. The other 16 just go up on the screen.

[Braden]

I can't even comprehend that. It sounds like a total mess

I hope it goes back to normal next year.

[Tarryn]

The results are the best part.
Eurovision are trying to change it for idiots whose attention spans don't last 10 minutes.
They are ruining what makes the show special

[Firewire]

The voting is often the best part of the show
