WTF Portugal? This is it? Lame.

This year has been so flat that even a generic bit of euro-pop like Denmark’s entry feels like an uptick.

It’s bad when the comedy filler song is better than most of the genuine entries

I don’t think it’s in their best interest to remind us of far better songs we could be listening to right now

Why are they doing Waterloo in the stadium when there’s still a few acts to go? This is halftime fodder, surely?

The way this is going, this stadium singalong to ABBA’s Waterloo could actually win this year.

Is that falling sand going to run out?

Surely this is the song to do before a filler break, so you can clean up the sand?

I was gonna say I think it’s just the screen behind her, but then I saw it bouncing off her and sticking in her hair

Did they mute her after she “thank you” then? I assume there’s a slight safety delay in case anyone is brave enough to shout “free palestine” or something.

France’s entry simulating explosive diarrhoea might be the highlight of the event so far.

They were probably worried she was going to start singing again.

Favourites to win? I think Estonia (the cappuccino one) was my favourite just because it embraced the silly weirdness of Eurovision.

Luxembourg, Estonia or Netherlands are my preferred choices. I guess Sweden might actually win? Hard to say really. Very bland field this year.

Estonia, Latvia or Italy for me.

“Do you think people will know I’m Spanish?”
“Well the country name will be underneath you and they’ll introduce you.”

Looks like it’s going to be Israel, that’ll go down well.

I’m hoping Switzerland get it now. Although, if Israel win it’ll at least make everyone confront this issue head on.

Totally not suss that we gave 12 to Israel.
I think we were probably hurt (partially) by the performance. The vocals were pretty weak in places (as with Ollie Alexander last year) whereas I guess they were stronger for the jury version?

I was at an offline watchparty again this year, which is why I didn’t comment here. Lot of fun, even though the ESC itself was pretty bland this year. Didn’t like the winner, but I almost never do. Friend of mine pointed out that they totally ripped off The Lighthouse for his stage performance – including changing the viewing format. Tsk.
My favourites were the Swedes and Estonia, of course, so I’m glad to see them doing well. And hey, Germany’s not in last place, so that’s an amazing national win for us! (Thought the song was shit when I first saw it, but seeing the whole of the ESC, it wasn’t the worst – 15 feels about right.)2 users thanked author for this post.

So it seems the Dutch and Spanish broadcasters are demanding an investigation into the televoting numbers

Oooo, spicy! I hope it happens because there’s no way they stand up to scrutiny. I’m surprised Ireland aren’t too, given Israel somehow came second in their televoting.

Just looking at an article about this and I’m amazed how low the voting numbers are. I was doing calculations on the back of a (metaphorical) fag packet the morning after and assumed you’d have maybe 2 million votes in one country, but there were only 142,688 votes in Spain. You’d need only a trivial number of people/devices voting 20 times each to swing that.
RTVE received 142,688 votes in Saturday night’s Eurovision final, according to the report the broadcaster requested from the EBU and received on Sunday. The initial information received by the Spanish delegation was the list of the most voted countries, without specifying the number of votes received by each of them.
On insisting on receiving more precise data, RTVE obtained a new one sent by the organisers of the festival, in which they only indicated that, on the night of the grand final, they received 7,283 calls, 23,840 SMS and 111,565 online votes. Participating countries can vote via the Eurovision app (up to a maximum of 20 votes per person, at a cost of €0.99 per vote), by phone or by SMS.
During the first semi-final, held on Tuesday and in which Israel was not competing, RTVE received 774 calls, 2,377 SMS and 11,310 online votes.
