MegaSack DRAW - This year's winner is user - rgwb
We will be in touch
Looks like a fait au complet for the Swedes.
Sweden wasn't great. I don't get it.
Nor me. Followed a formula, but missing anything hooky for me. Can’t remember the song at all, just the act.
The voting is always a delightful mystery. Wouldn't have picked the girl from Ringu myself, but it's all part of the fun.
SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP
Is there a channel where I can watch the results which doesn't have this stupid person wittering away over the top of everything?
Is that who it is?
Is she pissed? Christ it's annoying.
.
don't understand the voting. really didn't like the Swedish entry at all
Swedish lady vaguely looks like the love child of Hansel and Derek Zoolander.
I thought more Stephen Tyler.
Is she not Predator on drugs?
Finland will do very well in the public vote
It’s Mel and she’s filling in for Graham. I love Mel and I love Graham so it’s all ok.
Mel is doing what graham has done for 10 years
But she's chunnering away over everyone else, I can't hear the actual show. Graham (and Terry) stopped talking when someone else was.
Chuntering is a major part of the results section of Eurovision!
Hmmm Cougar, I get where you’re coming from. She’s also annoying me as well….but that’s not a fair way to call her.
OK, yes, accepted. I apologise.
Anyway, back to the travesty that is the jury vote...how are Italy doing so well too? Ha...crowd cha cha chanting...could turn ugly!
At least we won't have to host twice in a row!
Bill Bailey looks apprehensive
Noooooooooooooooo!
Well, colour me surprised.
Well, the public were right, perhaps we should let them decide.

aye that's worked out well here in the UK for some "stuff"
I think we've had enough of experts tho. 🙂
****s sake. Ireland has to share the perch now. And Johnny Logan’s unique status as twice winner is gone too. 🤮
Always start in a box.
Johnny Logan wrote a winner too though
On the BBC news just now,
Russia's response to Eurovision was to bomb the Ukranian entry's home town just as they were going on stage.
The swear filter should be lifted for just that comment.
What a massive **** Putin is.
I'm not a violent person but I'd quite happily slice of putin's head with a very sharp and large sword.

Just watched footage of the explosions, absolutely massive, possibly into the thousands of kilos of material. Seems it was fairly isolated from anything significant, as it was an explosives dump, possibly missile solid fuel motors that had been retired and were stored for disposal, but Ukraine never had the money to spare. This is the second one to be hit, and it’s quite likely that Russia’s poor research into what was there assumed it was stores of current ammunition, instead they’ve done Ukraine a favour by disposing of it in a ‘thing fall down, go boom’ fashion.
Finland got robbed.
Belgium should have done better.
The Icelandic jury guy had clearly taken too much ghb in preparation for the fetish party he was attending after the show.
The Georgian cyberpunk jury guy should get his own computer game franchise.
Why didn't we force Sam Ryder to enter again instead of that dross we had?
7 pages in 13 hours. Bloody Hell.
The UK vocals were pretty weak on the night, I thought. There was some stuff beforehand about the choreography, and she'd mentioned walking down the stairs without looking. Unfortunately in the performance she did.
We've not been "at home" for decades - I reckon the nerves just got to her.
Nerves or not it was a mediocre song.
I genuinely don't understand how a nation with such a proud musical heritage - and in Liverpool of all places for gods' sake, hardly unknown for its musical pedigree - can semi-consistently turn out such forgettable entries for Eurovision.
Mind you, I don't understand how Glammstein did so badly either, Germany was probably my favourite act. So what do I know.
Well it's subjective obviously, but I thought Germany had a terrible song, but a reasonably good stylist.
Didn't really get the hype for Israel either, she they shouldn't be allowed to take part anyway (due to murdering Palestinians, not their location).
The UK song had a catchy enough chorus but the rest was a bit 'meh' and the stage show was wooden at best. Not enough to stand out in a year that had a lot of strong solo female acts.
Did everyone watching comment at the time, that Sam Ryder's song would have been a perfect entry instead?
UK vocal was weak on the night.
Best entries for me were Lithuania, Norway and Israel (phwoarrrr).
The mid fifties Croatians in their undercrackers was off the radar.
And I was convinced the German lead singer was going to eject one of the boys from the barracks.
I am new to Eurovision and only caught the end, but I have questions:
Who was the blonde presenter? Is she really tall or is GN really small?
Why is Australia in it?
Why did Sweden win? I only caught the end so didn’t see any of the others, but was that really the best?
Sweden won because next year they get to host it on the 50th anniversary of ABBA winning with Waterloo.

My, my!

Bit of both but Hannah Waddingham is 5' 11"
Why is Australia in it?
Australia is included because the show was massively popular down there anyway. And they're chucking more money in now they're taking part IIRC.
Dunno about Israel, maybe the same or maybe it's an exercise in campwashing.
