Cha cha cha robbed.
Top 10 for Czechia, I'm delighted for them.
Agreed, she‘s like a superstarBooooo Israel should have won!
Yeah 50 years since Abbas win is a little too convenient.
It used to be that way, didn’t it?
Probably vegan too.
Jury vote holds too much power.
However I like the way they do it, it's exciting the way the public vote is done at the end.
No idea, to be honest. If it used to be that way, I wonder what the sense was in involving juries. Not really convinced of the value that the juries bring to this. Let the people decide.

It was partly to stop the neighbour voting.

It was to neuter block voting, which made sense. Had some hilarious votes back in the day.
But yeah, just feels like a convenient mechanism to steer the voting in its current form.
Ted Lasso gal was very good during this week
Ah, that makes sense.
Not sure what the solution is then, tbh.

Love to know the top 5 based off the public vote.
Maybe Loreen has a Katy Perry tattoo somewhere so that its no big deal.Tattoo leans heavily on Firework by Katy Perry, doesn't it? Meshed with a few other songs.
ReportedThank God for the jury. That Finnish abomination is one of the shittest 'songs' I've ever heard in my life.
It's not particularly hard is it? You're essentially just a host no? The blue print of what to do is the same every year?What a superb competition.
Deserved winner in Sweden, and UK NOT getting zero points, despite protestations otherwise.
An amazing night and shows the UK can do Eurovision proper.

Yeah exactly, voting for.many countries was first about who your friends and non-friends are (like, the Nordic all primarily voted for each other), and then whatever else seemed fun. Juries were supposed to introduce an element of objectivity, where actual quality is rewarded. But juries don't care for simple fun music or populist sentiments (like current support for Ukraine), which is really a core element of Eurovision. Plus there's still neighbour voting going on among the juries.It was to neuter block voting, which made sense. Had some hilarious votes back in the day.

....this makes a lot of sense to me. Make the top popular vote of a country be worth 20 points or something (and still 12 for the jury vote). And then they should also revamp the results system a bit so focus is equally on jury and popular votes - but without adding more time, cause yeah, the results part used to be sooooooo long and boring...Yeah, totally different. Feel like if they want a Jury it should be worth less votes.

Just a return to form for the UK rather than any ulterior motive.Why are people suggesting that the UK entered a shit song because they wouldn’t want to host
For some reason, year after year, the only reason for their poor performance some of the Brits can think of is, either: "we didn't want it anyway" or racism. And not the actual reason, shitty songs.Why are people suggesting that the UK entered a shit song because they wouldn’t want to host
