Eurovision Malmö 3

[RedToothBrush]

Let's get a result...

Maybe not due to health and safety! He wasn't quite with it bless him!

Do we have to bring politics onto a lighthearted Eurovision thread?

The jury gave too much to Olly and not enough to Israel.

The public vote was much more accurate with 0 for Olly and over 300 for Israel.

Why do you think it’s bots?
Consideirng it costs money to vote, how does one charge a bot?

Nil points for us!! Omg haha 😂 how awful. Hope ollys ok!

Wouldn’t be surprised if there’s something dodgy with the voting. My phone wouldn’t allow me to. Can’t see any rhyme or reason to that, never happened before and am able to make any other payments/charges on that phone.

Well, I for one thoroughly enjoyed this year's Eurovision.

I said at the start I was looking forward to the batshit crazy, flamboyant, fun - and they delivered.

Thank you @RedToothBrush and the posters who contributed to the fun and humour of these threads.

Yes. I loved Norway very much.

Oh, the irony…

How the F did this song win? It's shite! 😖

Ooh, held hostage like the prison camps Israel are currently holding Palestinians in? The ones where they’re wearing adult diapers, being forced to hold stress positions? The Israeli jails where the Palestinians are held without trial for years?

go on now, go scream anti semitism for me saying that.

The comment she was replying to said ‘So pleased our 12 points went to Israel. Sends a strong message!’ How is that attacking the Israeli contestant?

Well done Nemo - v popular winner in this house 🥳

Please explain how you came to this conclusion. I am genuinely curious about it.

Exactly, This.

Here's a thought

Just vote based on the music

I saw his hand hitting the ground with the trophy so maybe it happend there?

So rarely that I really love a song and vibes, so truly believe Croatia should have won .

I would still like to know how my
post was antisemetic. Please elaborate unless you are just trolling (which I suspect you are)

It kind of reminds me why that daft fella in the Hi Viz vest won BGT last year - ITV went REALLY hard with the “These acts are mediocre but they have a big sob story, or identify as a table lamp, or have a dead nana, so we are going to give them the golden buzzer” acts…I knew that guy was gonna win because we do not like having other people’s views shoved down our throat

I think it's highly unlikely that any country in any Eurovision in any year would score 40pc of the public vote. It's statistically improbable.

It's Eurovision, not an election. Phone votes are open to manipulation. Not the first time and not the last time I'm sure.

But the Israeli public vote scores clearly need to be taken with a pinch of salt.

Oh and whilst I didn't want Israel to win and don't think they should have been allowed in the contest - it was a better song- as was Croatia's- although hard to pick - i think people just have an incredibly low bar these days as to good songs- I guess at 62 and having heard tremendous people who don't get a look in , I just don't go for what sound like danced up nursery rhymes.

Norway should have done much better in my opinion.

Just doesn't feel safe to host it in Israel while the country's at war.

Agree ! Croatia were the winners 🤦‍♀️

Did it happen in the past when there was likely to be strong political views influencing it? What percentage did Ukraine get of the public votes in the year the war started with Russia?

I'm guessing they also got a large percentage of the public vote.

But some have always struggled with the fact that the silent majority may disagree with the current opinion de jour from social media.
