Gutted - Croatia deserved the win. Nothing special about Switzerland. And nul points from the public for Olly was harsh; there were far worse songs tonight.

I normally dislike juries but they did Trojan work saving us from an Israeli win so…thanks, I guess.

What would be wrong with Israel winning? The act and song were amazing and she’s overcome a lot already being censored

Why?

It's a music vote. The big public vote shows it was popular

We hosted the year after Sam performed as our act

I thought the UK had said in advance that they would host on behalf of Ukraine, as they were the nailed on winners.

WTF. We voted 12 points to Isreal in the televote.

The British generally don't like people, who arent in positions of power, being bullied.

That and the echo chamber of social media and all the noisy protests give the illusion to those who hate Israel that everyone else does too.

This event is supposed to be about people putting divisions aside and celebrating, bit some angry toddlers are incapable of that.

Croatia was completely robbed.

Tippexy · 11/05/2024 23:49

Yes. So pleased our 12 points went to Israel. Sends a strong message!

Surely the only message should be that most people in the UK thought that the song from Israel was the best?

I agree Eurovision should be a neutral event.

But it has never been. Personally I was against Russia being barred

I was too

Totally agree!! 👏

Croatia 😥

Petra and Malin just relieved they've survived that show.

I knew the Zionist vote would be high, but really?

Because people don’t like anti-Semites. The Jewish community always deliver against racism against them

I agree in principle, but logistically it would be tough.

Can't believe that Sam Ryder did so well just 2 years ago. He was a nobody, but Olly is an established, successful popstar. What happened???

To be fair, Sam's song was far superior to Olly's. And he has a really good voice. Olly's song is OK and his voice is OK, but Sam is the better (and more natural - and talented) singer. Sam can write songs too.

Olly is fine, but it's like comparing apples and pears. Sam is way more talented (musically) than Olly.

JaneJeffer · 11/05/2024 23:52

It's a music vote
Course it is

LordPercyPercy · 11/05/2024 23:52

It feels a bit hollow when there's a winner that didn't actually get close to the most public votes.

This is the most insane reaction I could have imagined, and I have reported your post.

Tangled123 · 11/05/2024 23:52

I had money on Nemo when he was third in the odds. Delighted 😁
I think Israel getting so much public votes may have cost Croatia.

Because they are currently engaged in genocide of the Palestinians and if I had my way, they’d have been entirely barred from the competition.

Crikeyalmighty · 11/05/2024 23:52

@C8H10N4O2 yep- totally agree.

mathanxiety · 11/05/2024 23:52

Nice speech by Nemo.

Sorry Croatia didn't pull it off in the end, or France.

Appalonia · 11/05/2024 23:52

Can't believe that this mediocre song won!

I agree, I really think it’s time they scrapped the jury vote.

Is this fella miming?

OublietteBravo · 11/05/2024 23:53

I wanted Croatia. But Switzerland will do. The song everyone will remember in 5 years time will be Croatia though.

They got a null points from me.
