I'm pleased for Ukraine BUT annoyed at the same time. We won in reality, lost to a sympathy vote.

It wasn’t a sympathy vote. It was a supportive, fuck Putin vote.

MrsJackGrealish · 15/05/2022 00:09

I still feel for Germany. They deserved more than what they got.

SoggyPaper · 15/05/2022 00:09

in the current geopolitical circumstances 2nd place is winning the song contest. Ukraine were always going to win it; it wasn’t about the song.

How do they work out the number of points from the public vote?

Pennox · 15/05/2022 00:09

What are the Ukranian boys saying? Hope it's FU Putin?

That Ukrainian singer hidden by a carpet has got to be President zelensky…

Wouldn’t that be epic!

i dont think it’s pity, it was a catchy song and it is a bit political, Europe has sent a message to Ukraine and Russia that we stand with Ukraine.

Excellent result

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2022 00:10

It's hypnotic though.
Well done Ukraine
Night everyone !
See you all next year

MintyMoocow · 15/05/2022 00:10

If Russia nukes us, we might win next year.

So it quite literally is Putin’s fault that we lost

I don't buy that.

If there hadn't been the Ukraine thing and they got lots of votes out of sympathy, if there hadn't been a war where would the points for them have gone?

Its not as simple as just saying that it cost us.

'Putin cost us a Eurovision victory! Now it's personal '

🤣🤣🤣
I love all these people who are all Slava Ukraine until they beat us in Eurovision then they transform into Daily Mail readers

So many bitter posts. As others have said some things matter more than a song contest. It’s a sign of Europe pulling together and I’ll take it 🇺🇦

This is what i just to my husband!
Im just so chuffed we got to second all those years of watching it and we finally got points!!

the80sweregreat · 15/05/2022 00:10

Sam to sing again next year too!!

myrtlehuckingfuge · 15/05/2022 00:11

Very happy with that result. My youngest voted Ukraine and happy to see UK public vote went that way too. I thought that it was a very decent competition this year. (Not just because where we came - I'd share the household scoring sheet but bit too revealing Norway=Minions on LSD etc- good night! ).

PrettyMaybug · 15/05/2022 00:11

Aww well done Ukraine. How wonderful that we came second.

LINABE · 15/05/2022 00:11

Meant to add - well done Ukraine and now I've heard the song again it's really growing on me!!!

FitYeDaeinYeMadRadge · 15/05/2022 00:11

itsgettingweird · 15/05/2022 00:11

The point is love and community, the songs are second to that.

Show quote history

Yes so I’m actually fascinated that we came second. We had a wonderful song, but so did some others who came low like Azerbaijan, and as we all know Eurovision is 90% political, it’s a political weathervane. So… Does this great result mean that Europe has forgiven us for Brexit? Are we all friends again? 🎉 🎈 🎉

purplepaintedpineapple · 15/05/2022 00:11

@SoggyPaper same as the country panel votes (12,10, etc) but they add them all together in to one big score

Antarcticant · 15/05/2022 00:11

AngeloMysterioso · 15/05/2022 00:07

Interesting that our second highest vote went to Poland… I can’t even remember what their song was?!

It sounded really like something else, possibly from the 90s - can't for the life of me work out what but I reckon it charted in the UK but nowhere else!

Oscarthedog · 15/05/2022 00:11

Every year we get nul points and we people accuse us of sending a crap song. Today's vote shows that it was always political. And I'm sure Vlad doesn't give a crap that Ukraine won so not sure what the vote was supposed to achieve.
