EUROVISION THREAD 3. THE UK ARE TOP OF THE LEADERBOARD (FOR NOW)

[RedToothBrush]

JUST THAT.

Poland was the estate agent selling a flat

If the Ukraine cannot host next year it goes to one of the top 5 so it could be in the hosted in the U.K. next year possibly

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

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

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?

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

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

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

If Russia nukes us, we might win next year.

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!!

Sam to sing again next year too!!

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! ).

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

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

🇺🇦 🇬🇧

Best result.

We showed can can put out a winning song.

And Europe showed they stand with Ukraine.

Its about the singers Mum isn't it?

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? 🎉 🎈 🎉

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

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!

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.

Wow.
