So so happy with Italy.. 3rd with the televote! it's a shame the juries didn't appreciate it! looking forward to your analysis of the results! great job as always..
I voted for it. Hope it helped. Best song in the contest by far.
Winning is not that important in my opinion.... we spread our message and it resonated with our fellow Europeans.... that's what really counts! Thank you Europe
Italy is still my true winner
Alice Wonde
People's reaction to Sweden is just amazing XD
Too bad the cameras didn't focus on Benjamin. I'm sure it shocked the entire Swedish team.
J. Cesar So much hate. What's the problem? You two seem to love the fact that we didn't do well with the televotes.
Mucrush Really? You seem to love the fact our Benjamin didn't finish top 5 in the end.
Lisa S I really do. Sweden is so fucking overrated every year, especially this year.
Overrated how, because they've won twice within ten years? The televoting this year clearly shows the opposite.
Italian journalist backward is so me 😂 " Chi ci aveva sperato!" (Nobody thought that would be possible!)
So happy that our song has been so appreciated by people ❤🇮🇹
As for the jury... Disappointed but not surprised at all
Drupy 91 thans for translating..i was wondering what was said lol. Nobody is the jury here. it gutted me when they were so low after jury votes.that hug in the end..heartwarming 😍
Indrani Das I must say that before the show I believed that our song would be more appreciated by the jury than by the public (you know, because people like pop dance, plus they sang in Italian etc)
Instead it was the opposite 😂 and Ermal and Fabrizio always said that they wanted people to understand the meaning of the song... So I'm so happy they reached their purpose!
lol they're wondering if israel won while the Israeli team is going crazy in the background.. i love you guys.
And netta´s composer is pushing César Sampson...
nicknameidono he was warning him because he was about to fall!! And afterwards he touched him and thanked him. Stop looking for bad at places that there isn’t.
What a pity that from the juries we only had 59 points ... However, the televote has rewarded us !! Great Italy ... Bravissimi Ermal and Fabrizio
Siete stati donati con l'ultimo posto alla presentazione. Se siate presentati al terzo-quarto-quinto, magari i risultati sarebbero stati molto differenti.
Infatti!!!
Lucia Ciaurro your song was the best. Juries are so disconnected from...everything, really
This years voting was so weird, the jury and tele was such a difference
What do U think about Ukraine last to jury? It’s really underrated..
Misia J. This can be called his karma. The jury in the national selection did not appreciate him very much, but by televoting he was the winner in this and last year.
I never liked this song or his voice. didn`t like overall package, so i was satisfied they didn`t give enough points.
The jury vote means nothing to me.the televote showed how much people loved the Italian song!
Because it's actually not political. It does mention terrorism but it's actually a song about going on with your life no matter what and having hope. It's an oda against fear and an invitation to not let bad people and bad things bring us down.
It's very saddening that this song is often summarized as "the song about terrorism" only because it mentions the attaks in the begining because that's not the point.
Also, the "no political songs are allowed" thing exist to ban songs that might generate a diplomatic conflict because it's lyrics attack another country and ESC was created to bring Europe together. This song does not generate tension at all with any other country so there's no reason ot should have been disqualified.
Emanuele Ingrassia for me, the televotes make No sense. They can’t Music.
And the Czech song and the Ukrainian song and the Dennis song....
This is the second televote reaction that I watch with an Italian commentary in their background, lol.
Oh yes, we are!
That announcement of the Swedish televote points was one of my happiest ESC moments EVER. So there is still more common sense and musical taste among the audience than I had assumed after the jury votes.
Apart from that: Big thanks to the ESCUnited team for all your work and all your videos about the ESC. Good job!
T R happiest? Why do you say That. Cuz i know you have Feel happier in ESC Then Sweden get 21 Points from tele.
you're happiest moment was when another country did badly lol..
Denmark got so many points from the televoters. We are sooooo proud and you were wrong about Denmark.
Well, the public simply disagrees ;) It was actually brilliant!
How in the world could it be a horrible song when it became a 5.th place by the Tele Voters?
Yeah, and they won their semi-final by the way
+Nashville yeah good for them they were the best my winner this year in your face haters 😉
Denmark was memorable and enjoyable = Top 5 with televoting.
It was nice to see a Nordic country that was not trying to be perfect and slick which is rare coming from them xD. It feels more authentic and less cold :)
Well, I do like this voting system, where anything can happen at the end. But the juries really have to stand free from the big music companies, so they stop voting for their connections, and instead vote for the best song. Congratulations Israel!
Italy robbed by the jury!! But top 5!!
their song deserved better place...Estonia and Italy for me were my favourites
Horrible, just horrible to see my n°1 Italy so robbed... And so was the Czech Republic and Denmark...
Seriously? I don't like that song. They scream so terrible😂
Ad always, I'm getting used to that
Someone said Ermal Meta and Fabrizio Moro shouted!!!!😂😂😂😂 .... what about Hungary!! .... anyway they wanted to convey a message and these message arrived. Thanks for all the votes that the italian songs received from all over Europe❤❤❤🕊🕊🇮🇹🕊🕊❤❤❤ THANK YOU❤❤
The reaction to Sweden is hilarious! Rewinding
Love Italy 🇮🇹
Germany, Austria and Czech Republic have the best songs in ESC. So happy. Mikolas is fighter from the street to BIG STAGE, very hard working, absolutely not rich and doing everything only by his own. Mikolas is totally opposite of Benjamin /conditions for growing up and etc./ and therefore people voted for Miki, I think. Thank you people, who voted for our Mikolas.❤❤❤❤
10 points from our televote ;) We love Mikolas here in Spain :)
Thank u for showing us this amazing boy :)
@@nilerra8181 lol this year you're sending the next miki
I was really annoyed after the jury votes, but the televoting made everything okay and restored my faith in humanity ;)
Even 2 years later, as an Israeli-I'm watching it with a HUGE smile on my face. thank you for filming your reaction!
I mean Tel Aviv and Jerusalem is a 45 minute drive. So doing it in "Jerusalem" (likely in the Teddy Stadium) doesn't mean you won't get your Tel Aviv on... :-)
Asaf Lubin 28 min with the new train
we are going to Zion Zion is Jerusalem
Now that's what I call a beautiful winner reaction
Loved you reaction, you are the best guys! and congratulations to Netta and Israel, they deserved this.
thank you for this insane backstage capture :D
love from israel!
Guys thank you for videos and coverage I really enjoyed it, thank you.
Thanks ESC United for all your live streams, comments and information. Kept me company in the wee hours of the morning here in Australia. Loving your work...
It was so AMAZING to share this year‘s ESC with all of you guys. You‘re amazing. Looking frowars to Jerusalem 2019!
Brilliant reaction thanks
Yessssssss!!!! Netta!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Im so happy for netta 🏆
This was great!
what a beautiful comment- thank you for the love.
Next year in JLM
I'm happy that Sweden flop in the televotes ...... Because juries are always so bias every they give so high scores to them even though the song is bad
You are sort of right about the bias thing but the song wasnt bad tbh
The director of toy interviewed to an Israeli newspaper, and said that they came to Lisbon clear favorite, and suddenly all the press from all around the world didn’t fancy Netta anymore. It was like they were searching for an underdog story - a black horse that comes from nowhere to win the trophy. He also said that all the journalists adored toy at the beginning, but after two months they were searching for something new to excite them. Eleni from Cyprus was the perfect one for that. Seeing the reaction now in the video- it seems quite accurate what the director said
Since Netta, I have changed. I’ve begun to not feel ashamed of my body, and to celebrate who I am. I'll never be anybody's toy. Netta is a gift to the world and important for so many reasons.Thank you very much for this Netta! The more people talk about this, the faster things will change. These days Metoo, Netta and comments like mine--are all contributing to awareness and change. The goal: within a few generations, it will be obvious to kids that they can’t be someone’s human toy, and they can’t have a human toy. I was always proud to be Israeli - even more tonight. When Netta and my country Israel won, I cried and laughed and danced in my house for an hour! Hugs, Maytal. :)
Maytal Erez so you waited all your life for that? Because Netta isn't the first to talk about that.
@Brocklod , Woosh right over your head. Too bad. : /
יו אר א ביוטיפול כריצ'ר
You have complex because you will never be like the GODESS FUREIRA...CYPRUS THE REAL WINNER
@Assaf Shriki Yes I am and so are you. :) The more people talk about this, the faster things will change. These days Metoo, Netta and comments like mine--are all contributing to awareness and change. The goal: within a few generations, it will be obvious to kids that they can’t be someone’s human toy, and they can’t have a human toy.
As a swede i will never get over this voting lol, the jury gave us hope of winning and then the public smashed our dreams haha, we back back next year and will send something on euphoria level!! 🙌🏻😁
Didrik Gustafsson Israel loves Sweden💕
It was a total mistake not sending Felix.
Also I don't know if Sweden will be sending an Euphoria level with the current system voting with International Juries. Mello needs some changs, I hope this year was a wake up call for Björkman
ANI275 thank u ❤️
nil erra the international jury has been in melfest since 2009, so theyre not the problem, i just think that we keep sending the same package and people are bored by it, this year i think benjamin was the best option, i watched with my mom and the first thing she said about felix was: omg it looks like he tries to copy salvador, and then i was like, omg we cant send him, if my mom saw it then rest of europe will too, but björkman is determined to give us a 7th victory before he resigns in 2021, and i believe in him!! This melfest year wasnt that strong, but 2016 and 17 was extremely strong, we just havent had a clear winner like måns and loreen was, but i think we get it next year, and about changes, what needs to change is how the appvoting works, if ur given the opportunity to give everyone free votes u will, so what needs to happen is that u can only like give 3 songs votes or like give 12,10,8-1 points to ur favorites, etc etc, to give more power to the public vote, cause right now its simply to even
Didrik Gustafsson
I meant the International juries have so much power since 2016 with the App.. that's an issue. There's no gaps with televote. I agree what you said about the votes and the App.
For example in 2017 Nano was what Swedes wanted and he couldn't even win even tho he came second juries xD
I think Sweden needs to stop playing safe and trying to be perfect if you want the televote on your side cause people feel that your entries are too calculate and cold. Even Måns couldn't win the televoting. I'm not sure Bjorkman will be the one to bring you another victory.. you need someone with new ideas imo but we'll see :)
Matt's "What???" on "Austria is beating Germany" is priceless... and then "I'm so happy.." hehehehe
ESC United, aren't we having one more last live- you know, to celebrate, to complain, to duscuss the results...? 😉😁
Honestly the announcement of the final couple of votes was the worst, it made the moment so underwhelming because we were all confused whether Cyprus had come second or won lol
How was it confusing? She literally said "the country that got the second-highest vote is..."
I realized she said something wrong and ignored it
She said "Cyprus is leading the vote" (7:20)
Constantinos Christoforou
She said that by accident. And it doesn't even mean anything, she said they're leading RIGHT NOW, obviously it doesn't mean anything.
she meant to say austria but she said cyprus from some reason
Love to see their reaction lol
sweden has sent 2 years in a row justin bieber wannabes and the televote send they to wc.. well done my friends from europe
So funny to see all the comments about Sweden... 😂
HA this was awesome to watch.
I’m happy it’s in Israel next year so I can meet you math 😁👌👌👌
She got confused between Austria and Cyprus :3
I love how everyone was shocked with Sweden lol
Czech Republic here, I think we could have got slightly more points from the juries and we did not because, well, politics... But I am absolutely happy with our 6th place.
What I can't possibly understand is jury points for Sweden. Was there some sort of a free-pot-for-everyone party on Friday?
HayashiMinoru You were SO underrated by juries which is unfair because vocals-wise and performance-wise Mikolas was way superior than both Sweden and Austria, not to mention the staging was lit, I'm happy for you guys, I would have loved to see you in sneak into the top 5 but 6th place in just your 2nd qualification means that you're an example of perseverance, hope this is the beginning of a new Eurovision era for your country, Prague 2020 sounds like beautiful 👌🏼
Czech Republic was 4th! :D People's opinion is what matters, not corruptable juries :)
OMG.. THANK YOU FOR THAT!! 😊🇮🇱🐔🎤🎵🤘
Genuine reaction from Matt to Israel's win. He was a true believer and supporter all along
The hate against Sweden is real in this comment section. xD
its because its muslim country with no backbone , women cant walk the streets with out a male companion. that country is fucked.
@@littlebigjohn69 What thar fuck? Sweden is NOT a muslim country
I was wishing for cyprus too. Little bit dissapointed too because THIS RESULTS WERE SHOOKING!!!
Chicken Dance won! Yeehaw!!
Israel won the televote, not Cyprus.
I can never watch this till the end. I’m still so butthurt Cyprus lost 😂😢
LOL the one who puts his hands on his ears - should be a Eurovision meme :)
but people liked the performance from Ukraine and Dali the corresponding points Thank you very much
I think that sweden was very overrated by the jury, and greatly underrated by the televotes. If i would choose one song to listen to at home it would be dance you off considering i like that type of vibe..but the performance was too long, to repetitive dancing and i didn't like the sounds comparing it to his melodifestivalen performance..i think his voice is good so i don't understand why his backing vocals were sometimes louder than his voice.
I am swedish and i think the jury was crazy to place him number 2. He should have been number 5-9 by the jury or maybee even lower considering the jury should judge voice, song and professionalism more than show, looks and dancing in my opinion. So maybee even place 9-14 from the jury and place 4-7 from the televoters, because it's easily one of the most enjoyable song to listen to, atleast according to me.
I think Israel had a good song, but not a single other person i've talked to personally thought her song was good, they were like"this is a joke right, how can a joke song win?" but i mean it's mostly the chicken sounding ridiculus. Austria was my favourite. Check republic was really good but the song was a complete copy of Jason Derulos song Talk dirty to me, so i couldn't see past that. Germany was really good too, and I liked lithuania i think it was. And cyprus!
It was too bad people hated swedens song or his persona or maybee they even hate sweden as a country, maybee they just liked others songs better and that isnormal ofcourse, or they are just tired of seeing sweden get a good score...which maybee is understandable...but that was insane, without the jury that would have been swedens maybe third lowest placement ever. And i don't think Benjamin deserves that. But many other contestants did good so I'll just applaud them.
But it was a chock to hear the televotes, i thought sweden would end up top 10 for sure, maybee not top 5 but def top 10. On the other hand how did Moldova get so high up?? :O their song was my last one, along with slovenia and portugal.
and why was Australia so low?, and Finland, i thought others would love her :P haha so random. all difference of opinion i guess.
I wish for sweden to withdraw all involvement behind the scenes besides maybe financial aid for the future, i mean Christer björkman and other big names should stop being apart of it because i feel like people are really starting to hate sweden and are suspecting fowl play, which i swear that the swedes no nothing about. So yeah please just stop being involved and let sweden send contributions we want to send.
Thank you for your detailed response, loved reading your thoughts on this.
You see, I love Sweden as a country, I wanted to learn Swedish ever since I have started devouring Astrid Lindgren's books as a child. If Sweden becomes a part of a "big 6" in the future, I have no objections. But when I don't like a song, it doesn't matter where it comes from, and for me, Benjamin's song was the worst in the entire final. Had I been in Lisbon yesterday, I would have cheered with others too for his televote points. Personal tastes aside, you can't "punish" anyone on the scale of televote, you can only vote for your favourites. And Benjamin simply wasn't that favourite for enough people.
(plus I guess that that super rude video of his reactions to other entries did not help either, though I would see that more reflected in the jury score, so people probably did not know about it and it is just my personal problem)
As for Moldova - you could always make a case for bloc voting, I guess, but I think their staging was indeed quite original, fully embracing the idea of "ok guys, let's see what we can do with no LEDs on a super low budget". It was entertaining to me, not a Top 10 song, but I can see reasons why people would vote for it.
Australia so low - again, I don't see why people should vote for it. The song is just too much naive and of a "love love peace peace" kind. I find Jess very likeable, but I guess that "people who'll vote for a sexy diva" rather opted for Eleni.
Finland's quite a mystery to me as well, but it could happen due to the running order and overall great quality of the final. Unlike last year, I did enjoy about 3/4 of the songs, so I am not disappointed after all.
The song from Sweden wasnt BAD.. just nothing special either. It's like any top100 songs. Y'all basically sent the same Justin Timberlake type song twice in a row, which i guess the televoters are over with.
My personal favorite was Estonia, the other people on my couch though really liked Israel, Czech and Moldova.
Love from Norway :*
Thaleya1 you should listen some real music ! Its so bad that you go from Abba to some mainstream artists for me Sweden shouldnt have got any points from the jury since it had nothing special
Thank you for your response, That's how I am, when I like a song I don't care where it's from..so I completely understand and respect that Sweden was your least favorite. It was a chock for me to see that so many found it as bad as they did. ofcourse i understand that you can't really give someone a bad score deliberately in Televoting, just vote for the one you like. It clearly just means that they liked other songs better. It was just a chock to find out our score. And very disappointing and acctually insulting to see such a weird high score from the jury votes...what does that mean? I was so surprised that i started to believe the comments about sweden being overrated by the jury always etc, so i looked back 2016 and 2017 and i didn't see any big gap between the jury and televoting for sweden and one of the two years the jury vote were lower than the televote, so i don't think that's the case either.
To be honest when i first heard swedens song i thought it was weak and too normal aswell, but it was a very bad melodifestivalen year this year so i thought it was the best we had. And then the song grew on me each time i heard it. I saw that rude video aswell, and it's not the personality that i have seen Benjamin have ever before and i've seen him in things since he was 10 years old so I honestly think he was trying to be extra and amuse some people in the room with him or something. And was just really rude, it was dumb to be honest. And i know he is sensitive so i can swear that he cried many times about the video after that.
I didn't think Australia would win or anything but i thought it would be number 15 or something and not by the lowest of the televotes.
yeah i'm not disappointed either, it was a good show!
9:33
What is he saying?
" They told us already..."?
Sweet guys
Matt was SO shocked when Sweden got 21 points lol
It's fun to hear what the Italians behind you are saying XD "Abbiamo fatto meglio di Gabbaniiii!!!!" ahahaha they can not believe that we finally arrived fifth!
Rory Wallace
3rd my friend :D Europeans spoke ;)
Israel four times
78- Abanibi- Izhar Cohen
79 - Haleluya- Milk and honey
1998-Diva- Dana International
2018-TOY - NETTA
9:13 hahahahaha I would have done exactly the same, that man is very handsome... but the way he saw when he realized he was holding his wrist is hilarious hahahahahaha
Israel finished 3th in the jury votes and 1st with the televotes. Congrats!
Hello can I say about the final that the jury has merged Ukraine will not put them any estimates
That one in the Teal hoodie is super cute 💙
My reaction was the same - I cried like a baby :) Netta Won :D
NETTA💖💜💖💙💖💚💖💛💖, a gifted, super intelligent human being, an artist, a singer, WON DRAMATICALLY, UNEQUIVOCALLY, with a WONDERFUL TOP SONG !!! (time will tell, it's value in the course of years - one of THE best ever).
NETTA - WON BIG TIME !!! 👍👍👍
NETTA reached 3rd place with 'sold/ political/ anti-Isarel "Judges" = who are +/- 3-5 ppl from each country,
YET WHEN THE PUBLIC AT HOME - IN EVERY 43 COUNTRIES - MILLIONS OF PPL, from all over the European/ Asian/ Australia - SHE GOT THE HIGHEST EVER SCORES !!! (12 points X many many) 🙏🙏🙏
I WISH HER - ALL THE BEST IN THE WORLD : A HAPPY LIFE ✨
ALL THE BEST FROM USA 🌷
I think people forget, hardcore fans watch the semi finals and then general tv audiences only watch the final. So they only hear all the songs once. Hence I think that's why Austria did so well on the night. I agree with Sweden scoring low with televotes. The stage performance was like watching a music video, you didn't see the audience until near the end. The public like seeing the crowds reactions. Again with Australia most final night audiences wonder why Australia is in it, hence they don't get the votes. I didn't mind either song. Neither my favourites though.
sd0977 berks Good explanation, only fans watch the semifinals and that's why Rybak won the 2nd semifinal, he's still quite loved among fans, not me though, all those teenagers who voted for him in 2009, are now grown adults who can afford to send many texts for him, but when it comes to the grand finale he stood no chances to win, however I admit at some point when he got 2nd in the odds I thought he was gonna snatched the victory.
Who is the guy with the red tie? I love him
Matt
Austria was MY winer since day one. I voted here Portugal lots of times for Cesar..also my mother and Aunt were forced to vote for them!! lol
I found it hilarious that the guys couldn't stop betting against each other: "-Tel Aviv! - Jerusalem! -TEL AVIV! -JERUSALEEEM"
Eleni was robbed. 2nd place is awesome but she deserved 1rst!
"So now, Cyprus is leading the vote." I didn't hear that, lol. Perhaps a last joke? Thanks.
Love all your full reactions:)
James Veen the presenter did say that, I was confused while watching at home.
Presenters seemed a little nervous, as we all were that night. Then this can happen.
Sometimes you have to make your own reality check: Are you getting carried away?
I don't know if this was a joke or not. Perhaps.
Tel aviv and Jerusalem are 50 minutes drive from each other, so you can stay and party in one and blog from the other.
Adoro gli italiani in sottofondo!
I love those italians in the background!
Se leggete questo commento fatemi sapere chi siete. Piacerebbe molto anche a me poter vedere e commentare la finale in una situazione come quella
You are most welcome to Israel ❤❤❤
Yassssss
I don't understand the juries. They put Ukraine last and Austria first? I don't get it.
The wonder is not about people not voting sweeden but juries voting it
7:51 the delay has me with tears in my eyes that's so funny
Hi from NY. No doubt. Will definitely be in Jerusalem ✌️😁
Sweden and Australia getting FAR more points from the juries than the televoters suggests that the EBU wants to slowly turn the big 5 into the big 6 (with Sweden) and someday into the big 7 (with Australia). ONLY THIS could explain how such poor songs with mediocre vocals could have scored so many points. I don't get Austria finishing 1st with the jury, but at least the guy can sing.
lol wtf...
I don´t think you know what big 5 means....
Yes, I do. Rich countries who are basically paying for the whole show. That's why they are granted the free pass to the finals. Guess what: Sweden and Australia are rich countries too! The EBU wouldn't be upset to have 2 more ''sponsors'', would it?
the swedish song was very bad (sorry swedes) something very odd with those juries.
I agree. Have you seen an acapella video of his after his victory in Sweden? They took away the sound and the backing vocalists. His voice is practically non-existent.
lol it took you guys too long to realise that Israel won hahahaha a simple calculation and a slip of the tongue from the host and we knew it. Netta really deserved it.
Everybody is talking about the host, but I actually think she meant to say "AUSTRIA is leading the competition".
memshin3 I agree to Salvador Sobral, that it’s a horrible song
chicken noises are as good as any other noises. and you are entitled to your opinion:) but I will change my comment I don't care if any one admits it , it is my opinion:) btw I like Cyprus, she gave it what she could AhYeH
you have already said it. Like it or not, she won :)
L!' m sorry for your country , Greece . But Netta yes desserve it
"Cypress, Cypress.." LOL!!!! "Cypress going to vvin!" LOL honestly laughing my head off
The guy to the left is really nice
Do You still nead a drink?
Jury:
Sweden, Australia, Austria are GREAT
Denmark, Italy, Ukrain SUCKS
Televote: WE'DONT THINK SO!
Jury: ARE YOU KIDDING US?!
Televote: NON CI AVETE FATTO NIENTE! NON AVETE AVUTO NIEEEENTE! We have the Higheeeer Ground! You favorites are Under the Ladder!
Background: yay!
Press room: Wtf just happened?
❤😍😍
Guys I realy enjoyed you. Love from Israel.. and for sure it's gonna be in Jerusalem :)
גלית אנגור jesus christ
LOL..you can stay at home
Betlehem would he better place
OH yeah?
I am very disappointed of Eurovision... it was the chance for Cyprus to win
no, Netta won TV vote, not Eleni
Can we pls point out at 7:24 when the host told that Cyprus was leading the votes.. Hmmmm something smells fishy
Saim Avancena I’m pretty sure she meant to say Austria and it was just a slip of the tongue, people are looking too much into it
well done denmark! !!
Thanks ❤🇩🇰
The guy in the blue hoodie let’s be friends 🙌🏼
don't forget the czech diaspora - regarding televotes. I mean in addition to those who liked it. I liked it too. still surprised about austria reading the past. I am from austria and usually wo low points or non from televoters - even our neigbours. I wonder what happened this year
Funny Girl Czech diaspora? I didn't know there was a bit Czech diaspora across Europe, I mean how big? Like polish or Romanian diaspora?
Czechia ALWAYS failed at televote..... The televote always destroyed them every single year, while the juries gave them quite a lot of Points. There's no such Thing as ''Czech diaspora''
yes, esp. the last 3-4 years. the latest act is to engage them to czech terms put them in an office in a different country, as if they would do telework and pay less as it is usual in the country they are actually in. even if it is a bit more as in their home country it is much less then they should get by law (e.g. in germany - a lot work in berlin offices). that is not fair to them and the also not fair to the employees in germany. I know that a lot went to other countries too. there were always czechs in other countries but lately even more concentrated in few countries
there is - but I would not say that all points are from czechs abroad. but for sure 30%. there are believe me. I am from a neighboring country and I see in my own company what is going on with employing them with less wages. that is a rather new thing. the last 2-3 years it got more. for sure concentrated on a few countries, but don't forget that as slowakia wasn't in, they got their support too. don't get me wrong, I think that it is fine and ok. I just think, that this did play a role and the discrepancy between jury and televoting is maybe half as big as it looks at first. still underrated by the jury. but nationality does play a part in televoting. I know, in the past that was always so with austria. I just don't understand what happened this year that austria got 7.place on televoting. happy for him, but I never expected that. maybe because he doesn't look like austrian? usually we don't get points from our neighbors - that is a sad fact. I always found that sad in years we had even better songs.
When Sweden got called out every one
Get rid of the Jury and let the people vote.
I predicted hungry either doing well or flopping and it flopped
It's definitely NOT Cyprus, baby.
Netta owes this victory to Salvador. He turned her into an underdog (the betting odds too).
Alfredo Reis Deus
Yesss she was queen than underdog than queen again 😀
I hate what juries did to Ukraine, Italy and Denmark!
Sweden & Germany & Austria were overrated to the point of delusion!
Germany did score well with the televote as well, I would have ranked it lower, but I have no objections. Jury points for Italy, Denmark and the Czech Republic though.... Robbery at its finest.
100% agreement on Sweden being overrated.
Haha- even the press does not believe Israel won. THE room would have EXPLODED if Fuego won!!! Ether would have been WWWAAAAYYYYYY more celebration!!!
TheHAPPYalix not really! It was probably because Israel was the expected winner from the beginning so it wasn’t a major surprise to be honest.
Derek York : Bullshit. If Cyprus would had won, there would had been far more cheerings & celebrations in the press room. The majority of the journalists simply rooted for Cyprus to win instead!
I couldn't care less
