We have to be in Boden. You know the rules.

OublietteBravo · 19/05/2019 00:20

Wow. I wasn’t even born the last time the Netherlands won.

We can wear Blue. No one ever wears blue. There's probably a reason for this. But Blue is easy to do.

And I don't have to buy a new pair of heels then.

Boden and pearls!

@OublietteBravo look the song up - it is fabulous. Ding a dong I think it is

NomDeQwerty · 19/05/2019 00:27

Blue looks fabulous on me. It's all good so far. And I know a musical director who'd likely be up for it Grin

CatherineOfAragonsPrayerBook · 19/05/2019 00:49

Can we avoid wearing Black and White. Or looking like the fucking Wiggles.

I was 4.

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 19/05/2019 00:58

and this was quite pleasant

TheAssemblywomen · 19/05/2019 01:01

Sweden were robbed ....

ilovesooty · 19/05/2019 01:02

I'm old. I remember the Netherlands last win. They were drawn first. My then boyfriend said "That's the winner". He said he didn't even need to hear the other songs and he was right.

ilovesooty · 19/05/2019 01:05

Duncan was mentored by half of The Common Linnets. The win makes up for them being robbed 5 years ago.

I think it's a deserved win
They scored solidly with the juries and were second in the televote.

I LOVE the Common Linnets (was visiting Dutch Mate for Eurovision that year).

I LOVE Douwe Bob a couple of year ago too.

They've been doing consistantly well for the last few years

2014 2nd
2015 Missed Final
2016 5th
2017 4th
2018 7th
2019 1st

I'm struggling to think of who has been more consistent apart from Russia and Sweden. If you think of it in those terms, its probably an unsurprising win.

And overdue

It's so strange that the jury vote bloody loved Sweden but only gave UK 13 points when both songs written by same bloke!

Bottom 3
Bottom of the jury vote - hated Spain then Israel then UK
Bottom of the phone vote - Germany (unanimous) then UK, Czech

24th Germany
25th Belarus Britney
26th UK

Surprised that Fwend of a Fwend did so badly on the phone vote.

Top 10 Bookies

1 Netherlands 1 Netherlands =
2 Italy 2 Italy =
3 Russia 3 Switzerland
4 Switzerland 4 Australia
5 Norway 5 Sweden
6 Sweden 6 Norway
7 Azerbaijan 7 Azerbaijan
8 N. Macedonia 8 Russia
9 Australia 9 Iceland
10 Iceland 10 France

France underperformed in televote
Macedonia overperformed in the jury vote

Norway can be very proud tonight - juries might have hated it but they were the people's choice

RageAgainstTheVendingMachine · 19/05/2019 01:39

Sorry that formatted badly - top 10 results then last odds adjacent
Bookies called 1st and 2nd correctly, had Russia lower probably due to it being early on (so well done Sergey - vgd televote)
