Congrats!
Finally a tagline?
I see the appeal of Cyprus...Ukraine tried to summon satan while Cyprus wanted to bang him. Don't see the appeal of either.
Be funny if they were stripped of the win and it was awarded to France.Surely has to be a disqualification and -voila-, 250 quids on my account. Surely...
EuroVARsion busy doing lines of their own to give France the win.Tweet

Yeah, it was the strongest lineup for years in my opinion!Thought it was one of the strongest years myself. Ukraine’s song got better then longer it went on. I’d buy Switzerland’s song
Completely agree. It's quite common for some of the better songs or entries from the "bigger" countries to have circulated their entries for weeks before the actual show. By comparison, today was the first time I heard the UK entry.I get the feeling Eurovision has become more about the build up than the actual performance these days.
Italy, Switzerland and France were big favourites because of their big online followers before the show, that reflected in the public vote.
Seems that as long as you get your name out there on social, you stand a good chance.
Switzerland and France were immense songs, worthy of winning, not sure that Italy were myself. But they had the presence.
Germany deserved way better and Lithuania should have won. They were the real gems.
I think I’ve earned it, with my ability to put my name next to a number and for that number to then be randomly assigned to a country that wins a thing.Finally a tagline?
Apparently the Italian drummer is still staring at the screen, wondering if it's happened or he's just that high.
The lead singer has been taken to hospital to be rehydrated after the 3 Serbians followed him back to his hotel room.

Italy's band has been going for 5 years, was runner-up in Italian X-Factor and has already released albums. If you put some unknown up there like the UK did, you'll get nothing. I read that he's been successful as a songwriter, but he's not well-known as a performer.I get the feeling Eurovision has become more about the build up than the actual performance these days.

To be fair, due to the political element it would be career suicide for any of our well known pop acts to take part. Coldplay are camp and cheesy enough for it but it would be a massive embarrassment for them if they got just a handful of points.Italy's band has been going for 5 years, was runner-up in Italian X-Factor and has already released albums.

The UK used to win it when people like Cliff Richard and Lulu were taking part. They were massive stars at the time, of course.
Yes you're right, back when Cliff won it was a different kettle of fish.To be fair, due to the political element it would be career suicide for any of our well known pop acts to take part.

Robbery Claire Hanna defo should have won!
I highly doubt it would be career suicide for Coldplay to get no points. It’s simply a naff competition which is its appeal but also why no serious artists enter it as it would cheapen their image and work. Rita Ora was the UK entry early in her career but she pulled out. She said she would have ended up as a reality TV star at best if she’d have gone through with it.To be fair, due to the political element it would be career suicide for any of our well known pop acts to take part.

fecking hell! Alan Partridge presenting Eurovision would actually make me watch it. It would be genius.Do people actually watch this?
I honestly treat it as a parody. If you watch it and pretend Alan Partridge is presenting it, it might be just about palatable.
Why? It was a decent song.Switzerland getting so many public votes is not believable at all.
Do you think people from all around the Europe thought that was second or third best song last night?Why? It was a decent song.
No. Just noWhy? It was a decent song.
