I agree with this.
I liked Ukraine's entry, proper catchy refrain, and lovely folksy hook.

Watched the last 15 mins as the votes went in
Has Graham Norton forgotten where he comes from? Wtf

Just listened to UA's entry last year, quality tune, bit of techno that was completely missing tonight.
This entirely.
Although France nearly made up for it...
So did we get the semifinal results
439 from total 468 audience points, it will mean a world to Ukraine, trust me. Their song was top 3/5 material.
Bah! This was just nothing but a popularity contest....
I watch it on RTE. Has he gone fully Terry Wogan?
Does this mean people are forgetting Brexit?
It's still blank for semi finals for me.
Spain wins it for me. Chanel ….what a stunner!
She was. So was the Swedish singer.
I mean Moldova even got 200+ points from the public with a lower common denominator song in the same style. Sure, Ukraine got a lot of solidarity points, but they had a good song and generally place well at Eurovision regardless.
Meanwhile…

My wife was in complete tears and not ones of joy either. There would have been a lot of Ukrainians looking for validation that Europe supports them this evening.
I think you reading too much into the politics. The UK did well because they had a decent song for once. Germany did shit, as they have done for eight of the last nine times, because they entered more completely forgettable shit.
Political voting is part of Eurovision, but it is way overplayed. The volatility in the results annually show that the song and performances are what drive the results for the most part.
Wasn’t really a fan of the Ukraine song, but if it went to anyone else then it would have been wrong. Solidarity.
Cheers. I can see it now. Bah Ireland didn't even make the top 10 on the popular vote.
I'm stoked for Ukraine and in particular their Bez tribute a man I have dubbed Vlavor Vlad.
Good watch this year.

I was thinking about this earlier on. My Flatmates are Brazilians over learning English for a couple of years and had never heard of Eurovision. Slight language barrier but it took me ages to explain to them that these lads were taking a break from fighting to sing and they'd be going straight back. They kept assuming they'd misunderstood me. It's a sobering thought, alright.
I didn’t follow the contest. Just heard the UA song now after reading about it being “political”. It’s of great quality. Certainly well worthy of winning a Eurovision.
And, yes thank Heavens there is sympathy voting for Ukraine among the public.

Oh I gathered that. In fact, I read it as if you wrote the right word the first time.
If I were Ukraine, I’d want to win on merit
I know the intention was good but I'd feel disrespected that they felt they had to let me win

Odd to see that some took the loss against Italy better than getting second at the Eurovision.
Not sure if Eurovision is ever won "on merit", and there are far worse reasons to be made winners than this year's.
Must be the non-English Brits. They always let England down.
Yeah, I mean, even the Ukrainan song which won it in 2004 was far worse than this one.
Ukraine won?! Shocker.
Ukraines song was absolute dogshit. Great for them to win it on a pity vote because they got blown up by Russia. It’s basically a Make-A-Wish victory. Your song’s shit but we feel sorry for you.Actually feel bad for the UK for actually having the best song for once and it comes in a year when a little country got invaded by Russia.
Graham continuous use of we annoyed me. Which is weird because im not usually one of those dickheads

I see Amy Wadge was a co-writer on the the UK entry. She’s Ed Sheeran‘s main co-writer.
Im not sure why people take this seriously. It’s literally a shit song competition.

Even in the Eurovision thread UK folks manage to make it all about themselves, amazing stuff
I mean, you literally pay to be in the contest unlike other countries who had to go through qualifying, and yet people talk about what's fair

ROBBED ONCE AGAIN
These posts are weird. We were robbed, but it's all a laugh. Being snobby and snotty about Eurovision is always baffling, it's a bit of over the top nonsense.
But we were robbed.
ROBBED.
Ukraine's was shit. Tiny little nobody country.
Something something something not understanding Eurovision something...

How can you say that UK got robbed? You were 5th in televoting. No way saying how the points would have been spread if it wasn't for Ukraine. Spain and Sweden may have easily been ahead of you even without Putin robbing you.
