Highlights from the Dutch broadcast (paraphrased):
I see, they dont fuck around, as they should
The head of their broadcasting company said “fuck the ebc” on video before the final.
Not the head of broadcasting, the commentator said that.
Thanks for the correction. All of the info I have seen supported my statement, but I am in the states and getting info third hand.
Switzerland is just really great. How he’s able to sing while leaning backwards and spinning on the disk, it’s insane. And additionally to that, it’s the hardest song of the year (I’d even say by quite some margin). His singing talent is insane and I love the song itself as well. It’s just beautiful.
Feel bad for norway and estonia
Baby Lasagna channeling Rammstein
Felt that as well, the song slaps.
And also Joost had his own Rammstein moment...
The booing on israels jury was heavy
Congratulations Nemo!
They got crowned by the Witch!
I saw that. It was very cute and he took the crown on stage with him. Lovely stuff. They seemed to have a genuine bond.
Ireland is quite unique and should get extra points for a their original performance.
After their performance, I feel so... peaceful. Just as if some dark spirits left my body, idk
Successful exorcism
Lordi won, so Bambie Thug has a chance. I'm guessing top five, though they're my favorite.
The long extensive loud booing was sooo nice to hear; it made me so happy.
I wonder how the voting would have been different with Europapa. I think Croatia would have considerably less televoting as many people switched from Netherlands to Croatia (a post suggesting to do that on Reddit literally has 10 000 upvotes). But otherwise, I don't really know what would have been different.
I'm still really heartbroken for Joost and I definitely hope that this all will be resolved with strong consequences for the EBU.
My tier list:
Top
Mid
Lowest
I'm slightly offended (and very amused) that your bottom tier is called Germany.
I mean it's true, but don't kick us when we're down
Edit: Please change it back! It was the perfect Freudian typo
Oops formatting error. (I can't change it back, bc I'm part German descent, and those ancestors are already very disappointed in me, I'm sure.)
I think the barrel on fire is a homage on the Frankfurther Hauptbahnhof
I'll just use your comment to post my favourites as well:
Lets see if any of them has a chance to win. (And luckily I'm German, so I don't need a rank for Isaak, but hostely it's not a bad song.)
Germany already got more than 0 points!
This is a weird ESC
Austria is peak 90s eurodance
Yea but "ram di dam dam" is just too ridiculous imo. Love the show, the song, dance and everything but that text sounds like satire of the genre
I wanna like her so much and I really love the song, but unfortunately her live singing performance is mediocre at best :(
People told ORF in the last few years that our acts aren't good at stage performances, so they chose a performer/choreographer this year haha
Germany got points by three juries in a vote?! This is actually really nice :0 :D
Switzerland deserved it, im suprised about germany, ireland deserved a bit better and i think fuckery happened with israel. Really bummed about netherlands tho.
If Netherland wouldn't have happened, this would have been such a great ESC. But yeah… they just needed to fuck it all up.
Honestly, while I'm happy about Switzerland (and Germany tbh), I'm just… still feeling awful, because I feel so sorry for Joost, as this was so important and emotional to him with his parents. I really despise Österdahl and the EBU right now for taking that from him.
I dont get why the jury from netherlands was banned aswell, felt really awful
Correction from comments: Not banned but stepped down, still felt wierd
As far as I know, they weren't banned, there was just no-one willing to be a spokesperson lol. But this is just what I heard from a comment in a thread, so don't take it as verified.
Nikki de Jager (who was supposed to be the spokesperson) said on TV that it didn't feel right to hand out points. The Dutch broadcaster then told the EBU to just figure it out themselves.
Käärijä (Finland) also stepped down but got replaced, and Alessandra (Norway) already stepped down earlier because of Isreal.
Could have done without AIBBA and I'm underwhelmed by Loreen.
Yayyyy Switzerland gets so many jury votes, my last call was that he'd be the jury winner and so far it looks good :D
And as he's my favourite tonight, this actually makes me really happy right now :D :D :D I'm crossing my fingers for him :D
Austria’s vocals were better than in the semi-final
And France was amazing and extra-ordinary as it has been in the semi-final
Did anyone catch what the Ukrainian artists shouted at the end?
Sorry didn't catch that. Felt like they lowered the mic for the end of the Irish one too.
A place for all fans of the Eurovision Song Contest :D
