I'm in Kyiv with a Fairytale: Eurovision Final part Deux!

[SuffolkNWhat]

We are a chatty bunch so we've had to start a new thread pre voting!

Israel are quitting wtf!

Wtf Israel no.

No! I feel quite upset that Israel won't be taking part

Don't they do half jury half public why re they saying this is just jury vote?

The two Ken dolls look confused. It's off script, they don't know what the man is saying.

why?

Me too. Why are they quitting?

Portugal was the man singing with the hands round his face and left me with a squirmy uncomfortable feeling.

What a time to announce you're out.

Is this tactical voting going wrong?

I thought he said that EBU is shutting them down and not that they are quitting?

Another 8 I think that's already better than last year

Not too late to take that GC back

Phone number? Urgh! Smarmy bastards

Yes, this is just the jury vote. 50% jury and 50% public; still to come.

Skier this is just the jury vote. The population vote comes after.

Is jury voting supposed to stop the whole voting for friends thing or is it making it worse??

Their state broadcasting corporation is being closed down by the government isn't it; something about them not being right-wing enough and too critical of him.

I am really very sad about Israel, because they have part of the original European Broadcastng union. It is very sad sad they get sch a low key exit.

Sorry, not skier, Akire, bloody autocorrect!

The Israel speech was about a particular TV network wasn't it; not about their future in Eurovision.

We can't win the public vote. We don't have expats in enough countries. Unlike Poland.
