Israel received the most votes from the public, 297, out of any of the 26 finalists

and I think we in the UK gave them the highest proportion

"But it's not political" lol I ain't 'avin' it that Israel genuinely had the best song, that's just a stretch to far, it was entirely forgettable.

Though to be fair...

The only song of the night that was an absolute banger was the Rim Timmy Cha Cha Cha mash-up and that was a half-time show. Oh well.

Can you imagine Eurovision organising a song contest in Tel-Aviv next year!

it was definitely rigged so that could never happen

Nah the public score was about as high as it could realistically be and the jury votes if you take politics out of it were about right, if not on the slightly high side, if they were going to rig it they'd have rigged it lower because topping the public vote + coming second will already increase "boycott" calls next year.

If the winning country can't host it then the second does it.

I do agree with you on this.

But the public only voted Israel at the top because of Political reasons, rather than thinking it was the best song.

It’d likely be hosted elsewhere, like when Ukraine won.

I think that was the poorest Eurovision I've ever sat through. Usually there are a couple of songs that stand out for me but not this time. I was surprised and pleased Israel did well despite the opposition being so loud, as usual, and I genuinely think it should have won. But yeah, it couldn't be allowed to win. The winning song was just awful. So strange... Had to turn it off at the end so as not to have to sit through it again. The entertainment while waiting for the scores was dire, especially last years winner having a mental gender crisis live in stage. Why I put myself through this every year is a mystery.

I'd have loved Israel to win just for the meltdowns tbh. Though I did like that song.

(I don't normally watch it, but the Doctor Who episode was great so I hadda!)

Sooo why did we and Switzerland both get zero points from the public ??

Also I know we are rather disliked by most of the world but what has Switzerland done ?

They were just overlooked by people as they preferred other songs. I loved Switzerland but I didn’t vote for it.
