[Dr.Morris79]

See you at the world cup

 

[ikbalCO]

Wish ukraine sent that transvestite singer from ten or fifteen years ago just to spite Putin more.

 

[The Cockatrice]

Eurovision was always political so it was expected. UK was the best by miles than everyone else so eh.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Whoop whoop Ukraine!

In your ugly face Putin

Maybe Russia will let them host it..

 

[01011001]

Germany in last place... noone in germany saw that coming... he said with a straight face...



I mean it was pretty obvious that Ukraine would get the vast majority of the public vote. they almost got the max possible points

 

[xandaca]

Ukraine the right choice for two very different sets of reasons. I'd like to think Putin is twitching with fury right now. Second for the UK is frankly astonishing, cracking effort from Sam Ryder. Frankly, I expected the public to give us about 5 points at most: ~180 is ridiculous. Naturally it's all very silly and camp and we Brits don't take this seriously at all unlike those strange foreign types, it was a fun night but now the hard work begins in updating all the history books.

 

[Tams]

Sigh. Can't begrudge Ukraine this at the end of the day.

I wonder how many have made absolute killings betting on this?

 

[Bernd Lauert]

Easiest money of my life lol

Same. Bet a grand, won 200.

 

[FatallyYours]

President Zelensky has congratulated Kalush Orchestra on their win for Ukraine.

"Our courage impresses the world, our music conquers Europe," he wrote on Telegram.

"We will do our best to one day host the participants and guests of Eurovision in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, rebuilt," he added

 

[Rat Rage]

Freedom & Peace for Ukraine!

 

[Bitmap Frogs]

well this was a fun thread, thank all of you who decided to stay, and see you next year in ukraine!

 

[ikbalCO]

Will be biking to this for the next month or so. Northmen never disappoint when it comes to esc bangers

 

[SoggyBiscuit]

Incredible performance from Sam Ryder.

Massive congrats to Ukraine

 

[Spukc]

Most savage moment in eurovision tho

btw. this is what everyone with a brain wanted Germany to send to Eurovision but the TV station that decided who we send didn't think they were "radio friendly"

Graham Norton's hair gel joke killed me.

That's a much better act, I'm not sure if it's a winning act, but damn.

Completely forgot these guys were German lol!
I'd have loved them to have been in it

Didn't they have to change there name or something recently though?

Holly hell the performence alone would have been amazing.

 

[Liljagare]

Slava Ukraini!

Massive win, absolutely massive, well deserved, it was a good tune.

Happy about this years contest, wasn't really a truly bad song, and poor Germany..

yes, they thought Eskimo would be not politically correct enough, and maybe that's also why they didn't get to go... the official reason was said "radio friendly" crap but maybe they had some additional info as to why they were not nominated

so now they are Electric Callboy and not Eskimo Callboy anymore

Just found them under the new "electric" name on Spotify, listening to hypa hypa again

While that is much better, this time it wouldn't have made much difference.

People are royally pissed at Germany.

germany got last place almost every year recently. I don't think that's the reason.
we just send the worst and most generic pop crap to the competition imaginable... and everyone in germany saw this coming and honestly hoped for 0 points.

so you now have disappointed people because we didn't get a flat 0 lol

 

[Ogbert]

A nice political message, but can we please agree that the Ukraine song was absolute dog.

Sounded like b-tech East 17.

 

[Chittagong]

Time to start booking the trip and flights to Kyiv next year!!

He wasnt even playing that flute, complete tosh. But, I didnt mind it

 

[Nezzeroth]

Kind of sad that my favorite (the UK) and my country (Spain) didn’t win, since they usually do horribly and they had amazing performances this year. But at the same time, I don’t mind Ukraine winning. I like people sending a message that Europe is with Ukraine.

I don't think any musicians have ever played their instruments on Eurovision.

Some put more effort into the miming that others, but some you can see, say, their fingers not move along the neck of a guitar.

Yeah, a good show of cultural solidarity. The song is not good, nor even catchy.

The British and Spanish entries I could listen to all day.

They’re not even allowed from what I remember, but I could be wrong.
