So pleased Dons (Latvia) made it, especially after the bookies gave him no chance. Loop (Malta) should have gone to the finals !
In my opinion, the televote was a bit of a flipside to the jury vote. In a "normal" year, Hurricane would have received more points from the jury and fewer points from the televote - and end up more or less at the same ranking. A perfect example is Israels Unicorn from last year, which received almost the same points from the jury and the televote, ranking 3rd overall
Didn’t the juries actually already vote for Joost in the grand final? I think he got around 58 points, which was 12th place. And all of that from a pre-recorded performance from the Semi final, rather than a live performance.
Yes he finished 12th with 58pts with the juries votes.
Yeah, but it is of course not certain if the jury did go lower, because it was already known that something had happened + the jury had to judge the semi final instead of an jury show.
But either the jury loves to go for more traditional songs, and many fan favorites get low-mid ratings from them
Oh? Where can you see the results that include the Netherlands?
A good balad doesnt need a stage show. Latvia is so underrated
Personal preference side, you can't argue with the results, people genuinely resonated with Latvia in a way that most people in the bubble just flatly did not expect, and Malta was the annual girly bop the Community likes that the main public just didn't get at all.
THIS!
Georgia, Netherlands, Latvia, Armenia and Greece ❤❤❤
I am so happy for Israel.... I was not aware of the campaign behind the scenes, however, I have voted for Israel and I thought it was a deserved winner for the semi-final. Despite what was going on, they have displayed the best performance of the night. Well done!!
You like to reward cheaters nice Moral Compass!
Congrats on being TASTELESS
You are not very smart are you😂@@GEMINICT
Kudos mama for bringing Freddy. Well done, love this new couple
Haha, thank you for watching!
Love your videos and analysis, real cure for the post eurovision depression 😂
Btw, Switzerland came 5th with the televoting in the final. France was 4th with one point more.
Ah! Thank you for clarifying! 🇫🇷 🇨🇭 ❤️
So Metlers win overall is rigget
Let's call it like it is. Israeli was an amazing performance. A young woman putting up with constant hostility from a shameful audience. To perform with those vocals under such pressure. Congratulations Eden. Definitely one of the highlights of the whole competition.
Joost would've impacted Croatia the most, I think. The only reason Switzerland won was that we have 1 clear juries winner and 3 televotes winners /300+ points/. It would've been even more difficult to beat them with 4 televotes winners.
Completely agree. Joost would not have won eitherway.
I made a bit of counting recently and found out that hypothetical absence of Israel and Ukraine in the final wouldn't have affected the difference between Croatia and Switzerland in televotes at all (and I don't think Joost would change it much if he participated). The only reason Switzerland won is the Juryvision 😊😊😊. Probably jury got startled of Israel possibility of winning so they gave Suiss more points than they could
@@cherme1490 Oh no if that is true they/juries would've pump up Croatia. Switzerland is 101 juries bite. There has been so much debate about juries that we neglected to face the reality on how quickly and easily the public vote can be exploited as well.
I know many people voted for Israel, even people who usually don't watch Eurovision. Many TV news channels, at least in the UK and Sweeden, constantly discussed what had been done in the Eurovision fandom, the bullying and boycotting and they actually voted anti-woke culture and refused to support bullying
😂
@@BistraVoda87 here’s a woke zombie survivor
i liked Latvia, Belgium and Armenia. But my best entry by far was the pre qualified France. Slimane performance touch my heart even so many days after final listening many times a day. It is an outstanding performance.
Huge fan of Freddie..did I mention earlier that we want more Freddie and NEED more Freddie??
AAAAAmeeeeeeeeeeeeennnn
Almost all Western Europe gave Israel 12 points. I liked the song but many people just liked to show their support to Israel. Why is that so hard to believe? I didn't see any Israel commercials. I saw them in the past for other artists (I don't remember really but I think I saw them for example for Destiny)
It rectified Israel absolutely being snobbed by the Juries in the final. That was clearly political and unacceptable. Qualitywise it should have been at least top 3 with juries.
In my opinion, the televote was a bit of a flipside to the jury vote. In a "normal" year, Hurricane would have received more points from the jury and fewer points from the televote - and end up more or less at the same ranking. A perfect example is Israels Unicorn from last year, which received almost the same points from the jury and the televote, ranking 3rd overall
Same! Chameleon was my youtube Ad for half a year...still got 20 points at the end so it doesnt mean anything.

The fact everyone is forgetting Switzerland 🇨🇭 actually finished 5th in televote behind France 🇨🇵
Like the first winner ever to be so low in one of the tops (jury/tele). Jury power is a mess
Yes but only 1 point behind France so technically 4th. And if the public had a clear favourite (for example Croatia), Croatia would have won with the power of the people. Not the juries fault if the people have several favourites. There have been winners in the past who were 4th with the juries and first with the televotes, or didn‘t even come first in either of those (Duncan Laurence) and nobody said anything.
@aimafa “But, but… Keiino should have won, they won the televote!”
Many Italians thought Mahmood should have won… ‘Nobody said anything’ is not quite how I experienced it as a Dutchman 😉
I agree with the rest of your comment though, and think juries are a good thing to keep the most musical variety; they just need to be reformed, and maybe the 50/50 needs to change into 60/40 or something, to give the public vote the last say.
In the midst of all the drama in this year's Eurovision, Armenia was a literal breath of fresh air when it came on. I was surprised that their song was only 2 and a half minutes or so, because they packed so much in! "Jako" was the only song that made me forget all the twists and turns, and just enjoy music.
Where is Deban? I miss his comments 🙁
Yesss where’s miss Deban Deban??!
Maybe he is OUTTTTT!!
He supports Israel 🇮🇱❤️.
Maybe decided to go down this year
@@user-ey5gf7zh2m Really?? Are you sure about that, did he say anything on that topic?
He's currently traveling. Has been in France and now South Africa.
I like Freddy - great, balanced analysis
What happened to the sound of The Netherlands?On tv it came across very soft,though I heard you say that it was ok in the Arena?
I dont know, I feel weird about this. Dons was always so sincerely grateful for your initial support, he even said in national television how grateful he is that wiwibloggs also wanted to interview him and how supportive you were - he was unintentionally doing a marketing for you on national TV. And now you are saying that he ("stage" is also a part of him) potentially should not have made it to the final so Malta could make it instead...
I’m from the Netherlands and am happy for Switzerland to have won! Congratulations again 🎉. But we all know that if Joost and the Netherlands wasn’t unjustifiably DQ, the final result was gonna end up totally different. Because of the many televotes they would’ve gathered. Which now probably mostly went to Croatia and Switzerland instead
The Netherlands had 58 points from the juries. It wouldn't have been enough to win
@@zigv8325 The jury gave Netherlands 58 points , they judged a video instead of his live performance in the jury rehearsal.
@@rougepermanentclair The juries only judge the televised performance for every country, they are not live in the arena. So they would not have noticed any difference. The Netherlands would not have gotten enough points from the juries to win, they would have taken away votes from Croatia which would have made even easier for Switzerland to win in my opinion.
If the Netherlands was in the final there would probably be several zeros 0 from the public.
It was he's dream to represent Latvia in Eurovision
Would be happy to see u in Yerevan, guys!!!❤️❤️ Great video as always!!
Maybe one day! And thank you!
Still Malta, Albania and Denmark had a killer voice!! Among the best performances👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I was really worried Estonia would not get through, but they did so, handsomely!
For your podcast:
Maybe talk about the absence of some countries right now (Montenegro, Hungary, North Macedonia, B&H, Slovakia...) and their reasons and chances to return soon?
Or another idea would be to start a series called "What happend with... idk Serbias Winner after ger win or Dustin the Turkey or other acts that made an impact at esc in any way.
Great discussion. Loved every minute of it and looking forward to the grand final video.
PS: Justice for Malta Sarah aka Susan Bonicci🤧🥳
Coming 1st and 2nd in the semi's (Israël, NL, Ukraine) but producers put them 2nd, 5th and 6th in the runningorder?!!
They wanted switzerland and croatia to stand out and Imm not mad about it 😂
For the duration of the show, it makes sense to place some of the audience favorites a little earlier. It was expected that these entries would perform better with the audience anyway.
I'd love to hear you guys discuss the televote only era of eurovision on the podcast! your favorite winners, entries in general, how you view that voting system in hindsight (especially since, from what I remember, William at least didn't start following Eurovision closely until after the juries had been re-introduced) etc. I feel like the 00s were such a significant era for the contest and, naturally, there isn't much commentary on it online.
Hi, where is Deban?
I really miss him, is everything ok?
Vacation in the USA
Rightwinged people in my country were called on to vote for Israel in The Netherlands and we did give 12 points to Israel. Literally politicians were involved. Which I find weird. No politicians called to vote for other artists
For the podcast: talk about songwriting camps! Nemo wrote their song with a team in a camp, but I know many people feel divided on them. Are these camps good for Eurovision, and are they good for songwriters?
You two in Armenia, yaaaaaaaaaay😍
Let’s go!
@@Wiwibloggs ALWAYS WELCOME HERE! Will be expecting you.
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Israel #1
I think the low Malta score is because Malta dont have 'allies' in the way that the ex Yugoslav countries are often mutually supportive for example. The girlbop votes will have gone to Austria, Georgia partly for being later in the running order, and therefore more in the memory. Not wholly fair but there you go. Cyprus didn't suffer from going first in semi final one but they have built up a pedigree and following for that kind of content. I actually prefer the Cyprus song as a bit fresher somehow
True! Slovenia and Serbia qualified only cause they gave points to each other wothout those points they would be both out
Oh I think Slovenia and Serbia were both strong entries. Serbia had the best melody this year.
I already wrote it somewhere, I believe the main reason for low Malta score is that her team who decided to put a dance break without any music in it to the recap. If they put the part where she show her voice it might worked. Song itself was not so good, especially after she showcased how well she actually can sing! This song and that recap didn't do her justice at all.
I don’t agree that the Netherlands would have stolen votes from Switzerland. Maybe stolen votes from another party song such as Croatia. But I doubt it as in the final, staging and vocals matter and it showed BL had undergone vocal training to improve his breathing while singing and that Nemo had mastered breathing while singing and doing acrobatics. Unfortunately, Joost’s singing of the Europapa chorus didn’t do the song justice.
If the voting for Armenia had supposedly come from diaspora, then why didn’t we make the cut in previous years when our songs were quite popular with the Armenians. I don’t think this is anyhow related to the diaspora (including the overall televote results in the finale). I was surprised to see how juries from so many countries went from it (some countries never voted for us before). We received points from almost every single Scandi country. On a different note, I’d rather make a video how Armenia votes. We gave 5 points to Malta btw. I’d say Armenia has an open voting every year (apart from France in recent year when France aligned with Armenia in politics). But we always voted for France. To understand the diaspora vote, we have to analyse data from each country (e.g. the UK always give huge points to Lithuania every year, but no one talks about that).
Right 👍
I think Joost would've impacted the winner in the grand final. Also it would've impacted israel because they were literally next to each other in the running order. I think even though he would've gotten points away from Croatia, he would impact Switzerland too much that it would've been a closer fight with Croatia & Ukraine for the win (maybe around 160s in the televote instead of 220s for Switzerland). It may have also impacted Ukraine... it's near impossible to have 4 countries with 300+ pts, Ukraine was the country closest to being knocked off the 300s and was on the same half as Israel and the Netherlands, so I would imagine they would maybe drop to the 290s. The Netherlands wouldn't have won still but would've made Croatia and Ukraine a better fighting chance against the juries' love for Switzerland.
I gave all my points to Israel because I have a lot of Sympathy towards Eden. There was so much that went south for her, she was crying so much after her performance. It was so sad and she shouldn’t have been booed. Reminds me of the Tolmachevy Sisters, Polina, and Yulia
Vote for the song not for sympathy
@@nzkid2599
Not this year. I’m against bullying and some of the contestants were trying to be politicians. I like her song and performance as well, it was deserved
@@kharma101 In other news ... the Israeli delegation were the bullies backstage and on their social media.
@@nzkid2599 This is why you must keep the Jury vote. When people say they voted for sympathy it compromises the competition. This should not be a popularity contest. Israel should be permanently banned following their attempts to "win" votes on such a scale.
@@kharma101 Israeli delegation bullied other delegations. So kick Israel out.
I love how nobody realized Gåte was a classic folk metal band and most people loved it. Even in other types of metal, they often sing about folklore and warfare, not just the biblical devil or witchcraft. If people were aware of this, they might also understand that the biblical theme of the devil belongs to the theme of the genre, it is not meant literally in the sense of worship, it is simply a characteristic of the genre.
If the juries were still in the semis, I'm pretty sure Switzerland would have won SF2 in a landslide
Joost is scheduled to be in Vancouver at the end of the month!!!!
Freddy and his Jude Law accent 😍
The results of the San Marino votes here do no look aggregated from other nations. This means a jury likely voted and would explain how different it was from the others voting countries. I wish there was more transparency on this.
Yeah, we Dutch are really disappointed and I was sooo cranky watching the grand final. I don't think Joost would have won, but he sure would have made an impact.
In this semi, Malta coming last was harsh but I think all the right countries got through.
Can I also say we need more of Freddy?
Freddy and me are the only ones who have noticed how good-looking was the male half of Ladaniva.
He really is.
For your podcast: talk about what was going on behind the scenes? Bambi thug talked about working so hard for changes in the contest?
William was definitely done with the police state which is Malmo.
Despite being an Armenian myself, I don't like tashi-tushi songs. I despise them and always did, intentionally skipping any type of events I might hear such songs. Yet I liked "Jako" from the very first sound. A huge smile stretched my face the moment I saw her peeking through that doily type of curtain and heard lelei lelei la. What I liked more was the idea of making the feast song even more welcoming by including musical instruments which usually dominate in other cultures, so that many people would feel at home while listening to this.
What I loved even more was the fun, non-propaganda, liberating aspect of the song. We come with the music, we have fun together as one, we don't put ourselves inside walls built by society's expectations, we dance and liberate ourselves for 2 minutes and 30 seconds. That's it. Nothing stressful, not even difficult lyrics for the audience to feel pressured to learn. Armenian folk songs usually contain fewer words but more melismas, ad-libs. Just try "Shalakho" by Varduhi Vardanyan for example. Not even one word, but the rhythm and crescendo are insane.
I don't think we received votes (not much by the way) due to diaspora. Many Armenians, in fact, didn't like this song. I just think this ticked the OG Eurovision box and Zhaklin was very loveable. I don't understand why are people dismissive when it comes to the only non-problematic entry of the year then all of a sudden they feel surprised that we ended up in the Top 10. There was zero reason to not be in the Top 10, I'd say. Now the Greek entry I didn't expect to see out of Top 10. I'm shocked. Still, I'm happy Nemo won. I was rooting for Switzerland from the get-go and voted for them too.
American here. I loved the Armenian entry this year! Armenia and Ukraine were my favorites. I enjoyed the cultural feel, and it was just so fun 🙂❤️
Armenia’s song was a pressure valve.
I m from Austria - and I loved Armenias song and adored Ladaniva - very strong voice and the most charismatic Artist this year - and I love all those Videos, Snippets, with the Armenian Crew playing music alone or with the other Artist - pur ESC Vibes!!! Just amazing. I think the Live from the Pre Party in Madrid is the best of all - even better , than Nemo who did great there as well.
Feel sorry for Norway it was so undeserved!!!!
Norway did not deserve thart.
Eden Golan ❤️❤️❤️
I would've preferred San Marino or Belguim over Austria i gues.s sorry :( tough semi i loved them all. I'm so happy for Latvia though
I love how the commentators of the German and of the Austrian broadcaster trashed people for booing Israel and the very low points from the juries for Israel.
Ashamed that the Swiss commentator did not call this out. 🥲
If Malta sent The Code, or Tattoo, they will still come last. Its Geography and Politics.
Imo not exactly, because Switzerland's situation is quite similar to the one of Malta.
Don't think so. Malta needs to send better songs to get the public in. Although their country is little compared to others, they have the artists to bring a quality performance, but there are no juries in the semis anymore. Switzerland was at the same point a while ago with not qualifying a couple years in a row, but they changed their game recently to became a strong contender. Sweden has been a strong contender for a long time now, especially since introducing their high quality national final. The countries you mentioned do not benefit from diaspora, and therefore have to make even more effort.
Freddie is cute
11:36: a huge gap between Greece and Switzerland. Imo it would be preferable to range the votes not in line order, but in groups.
I know a lot of fans are upset that Malta didn’t qualify because Sarah did an amazing performance. I agree on her performance, but don’t forget that before rehearsals, most fans had Malta out because of the song. So Malta didn’t qualify because the other songs were just much better. It’s a SONG contest and even though the staging is important, the song is still essential.
Malta needs to start sending better songs and then they will qualify.
Despite Jury boosting Switzerland, I think in the TV vote in finals, Netherlands might take enough votes, to change the winner of Eurovision, which probably would be Croatia.
I don‘t think so. I think the Netherlands would have taken public votes from Croatia not Switzerland because Switzerland is just a completely different style, while the Netherlands and Croatia are more fun and less serious songs. It would have made it even easier for Switzerland to win.
I agree with "aimafa". The Netherlands had far more similarities with Croatia than Switzerland. Actually the solidarity voting for Israel and Ukraine hurt Croatia the most. Every single country's public which put Croatia in the top 3 above Switzerland had Israel or Ukraine as their winner.
Joost would have been a great televote contender in the final❤
He’d have taken a lot of points - no doubt. SF 2 proves it.
@@Wiwibloggs The jury have him 58 based on the semi. I heard it on Maxxy's channel.
@@anka6356 but the juries also based this on the semi clip while knowing there was a conflict going on.. i think this also could have been higher maybe
@@catesc9367but the performajce is still the same...you fans are so full of BS....Iceland 2021 came 4th with only a rehearsal performance. This "song" was never gonna win esc or do anything groundbreaking with juries there is not 1 quality criteria this song meets for a juror to give 12 points (only if youre his friend/colleague like the germans)
@@MusicDiLaurentis wow, it s not the same. The jury new there was an incident and this can impact the votes for sure, just like juries obviously didnt want to vote for israel because of something else.. Island couldnt perform because of covid, and if anything, this would have given them some sympathy by the juries
The Netherlands got 3 12 points those 3 countries then give 12 points to Israel, Israel got 10 12 points Switzerland got 1 12 points Armenia got 1 12 points as well I think Greece did as well. I think Armenia 12 points came from Israel. I personally would take out Latvia over Malta .
It makes me laugh people can't believe Israel did well make me laugh soo much 🤣 😆 😂 😄 😅
🌟🌟🌟 LET'S ALL GET READY ‼️‼️ TO GO TO ALL THE LADANIVA CONCERTS THEY'LL BE HAVING ALL OVER EUROPE ‼️‼️ FOR SOME LADANIVA PARTY FUN!!!!! 😅🥳🤩🎉🎊💃🎈🧿 🍾🥂🍻🍺🍹🍸🍷🍶 🌟🌟🌟

Crazy semifinal.😅
Justice for Joost
Like what kind of justice?
Get over it...really....its enough now.
@@MusicDiLaurentisNah justice for joost
12 points to the Netherlands!
I disagree with "Israel wouldn't have been affected" as Armenia, Estonia, San Marino, Malta, Belgium, Greece and Austria all gave higher points to NL than to Israel. Surely Israel would have been denied quite a few points in the final if Netherlands was there too.
You can't stop doing backstage content when the fans are always eager and almost harassing the EBU for not posting everything the second it happened though. But I get the point.
Where are you filming these episodes? Looks like you're a danger to the people around you, blocking a Fire Exit. ;)
Then again it also looks like a cupbord...
😆 😆 WeWork it is not…
People were sympathetic to Eden given the treatment a 20 year old girl was receiving from many of the live audience. They are not necessarily sympathetic to Israel.
If Beyonce was singing "hurricane" she would brake the internet. This song is insanly amazing, got great reactions from almost all youtubers.
When such song meet angelic voice like Eden's voice, the magic happens.
6 millions jews in the world outside of Israel cannot bring 323 points, what indicates that the song touched in the heart of millions at home
People like Israel and her people. Get over it 🙄
The jury gave Netherlands 58 points on the semi video they judged instead of his live performance in the jury rehearsal. I heard it on Maxxy. But the public would have been over 100.
Alexander Rybak 2018 won his semi but were only 15th in the GF.
Terrible song.
Malta did not deserve last omg😭
Zero televote points doesn't mean least popular. Olly Alexander came 11th or 13th in some countries,but only the first ten positions get points.
I heard his highest placing was 14th in the Irish televote. I want to know what his result is in "Rest of the World" since that's where my votes went for him.
Belgium should have gone through. Epic song!!!
I would have preferred Czechia with Denmark, or Albania or Malta - instead of Austria and Norway. (Staying off the Israel topic).
How is no one talking about that Nemo got bit less televote because if his styling and makeup? We all said that since we saw the rehearsals, everyone said they dont like the outfit and now people act as if he didnt get the points cause of his song or performance.
Loved their outfit. Looked very good on them. Such a lovely person they is
Only israel
.... let's be honest how can we compete with the jury?....whatever the audience decides, the jury has the last vote!....what can I say except that this competition is pointless if we ask the profession!....most of the audience has no musical education, but that's made for the audience, not for the jury!..if they want quality versus what the audience wants, they shouldn't have such an influence!.....it should be proportional, they must know that the majority of the audience is not musically educated!.....like physics competition - quantum physics or normal physics, or it doesn't matter!.....which direction?!?!...????...if it's for the audience, the common man has no idea, but he knows what he needs I like it!....if we're going to act professionally, why the audience's vote?!?!...what's the point?....guide us!...

Israel 🇮🇱 ❤
I disagree here, the two massive televote threats Croatia ans Netherlands would have taken points from each other and not the ones from Switzerland....!
Norway!❤
I believe that if the Netherlands had taken part, it would have been even easier for Switzerland to win. A lot of the televotes from Croatia would have gone to the Netherlands instead, because both of them are fun songs while Switzerland is a completely different vibe. And since Joost would have finished only mid-table with the juries, it would have weakened Croatia and given Joost a top 5 result maximum.
Mustii (Belgium) non qualifying made me cry.
im so happy for Armenia 🇦🇲
this is eurovision for me ❤️❤️❤️
Re Malta, her performance was gret, but I'm saying again.... We have seen and heard it too many times, I'm actually shocked Cyprus went through. They were all my bottom entries. Boring AF
My heart breaks for joost. The top 10 placement that never was
❤🇮🇱❤️
Joos Klein confessed of raising his hamd against a camera woman.... what is your problem always defending him. No matter how much you get filmed you do not damage gear and you do not insult stuff that is just doing their job.
Meanwhile everyone is trashing on Eden Golan that literally did nothing wrong. It is not the contest that is messed up, but the hardcore fans.
sure tell me you arent israeli?
@@thomasseisveld3046 I am nit, just interested in a fair competition
Of RAISING. He didnt touch her
@@ceyceygee He threatend her was aggressive and damaged the camera. I think that should be enough.
And yes I knlw, that is why i wrote it in this way. He did not hit her atleast. But still very unacceptable behaviour especially in the context of a competition like the ESC.
I agree though that the EBU must reconsider how backstage filming is being done. Nevertheless his actions are unacceptable even if they were provoked and his exclusion was adequate. But taking this unfortunate incident as a starting point for improvements? - I agree.
@@adrial1997 first they said its brokeb, then it was damaged. There has been no proof (pictures/videos, since she was recording). Id rather believe the dutch broadcaster until they come with proof
I believe Malta had a great song, but the performance didn't meet expectations, so it wasn't surprising it didn't qualify. However, I was shocked that Czechia didn't qualify! Their performance was one of the best in SF2. I'm not a fan of betting odds sites influencing voters like that; it's unfair. Countries like Czechia, Albania, San Marino, Malta, Cyprus, Moldova, Iceland, Slovenia, etc., are consistently underrated and have little to no chance of winning Eurovision under the current system.
Can you please react to Loreen's performance during the final? I personally think that she could've won the third time with that stellar performance!
Yes, Joost Klein could have won or end in the top 2. I'm pretty sure about that. I hope he will come back for revenge at the Eurovision 2025. He will win. People will support him for the injustice. It was such a minor incident. It was disproportional. He was harrassed. AVROTROS and Joost said to not film Joost. He revive his trauma of having discovered his mother death on the sofa. But the woman kept fliming him and was too close. He panicked and made a gesture.
He said nothing to the audience and u think he'll come back for revenge? I really doubt it
Unfortunately Metlers win is rigget
🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Im honestly still shocked Greece qualified. They were so bad. They didn't deserve to qualify.
I'm sad Malta didn't make it through to the final. I would put it through and replace with Armenia. I'm surprised Armenia went through. Snap is way better. It came bottom 5 or 6 but internationally it's a big hit and the artist Rosalind doing well. I'm sad about Denmark too. But I understand why it didn't go through. I prefer Denmark way more than Greece. I would put through Denmark over Greece. I don't like Armenia and Greece song. However I do understand both those countries have more things going on in their stage performance than Denmark. I think Malta is the most robbed.
Come on, guys! Austria, Norway, and Czechia were all flawless, and everyone knows it. The only reason their scores were low is because Israel's voting communities, along with Armenia and Greek diaspora, heavily voted for these three countries, leading to an unfair result. Let's not try to invent mistakes with Austria, Norway, and Czechia.
Eurovision's future isn't bright at all imo😢
Armenia was in 3rd place but was last announced that was stressful and breathtaking 😅😅😅❤🇦🇲
Belgiums dozen microphones I found weird
Last year, Austria Australia came top 2 in the semi-final , but completely flop in the final. Running order really makes a huge difference
So they removed the Netherlands to prevent Israël or Ukraine from winning and thus have an organizational headache ?
