At least we can all agree that Spain's entry was the worst.

...I liked it.

It was fun.

We've had 100 pages of catty remarks for humor why take Nev's comment serious. He's not wrong in his hate of the song, jazz needs to be contained quickly and safely is the only way to eradicate it.

SALT
SAAAAAALLLLLLT
SALT.JPG.GIF.MP3

Is currently one of the most annoying things on GAF.

 

[oti]

"You could not expext this to happen" says the German trash moderator, talking about the German trash entry, which was trash.

This needs a reboot. Fire everyone. Hire me.

 

[Rynam]

Mhh, half of Germanys Points came from Switzerlands televoting.

German televoting: 12 Portugal, 10 Belgium, 8 Kroatia, 7 Moldova, 6 Romania, 5 Bulgaria, 4 Italy, 3 Hungary, 2 Poland, 1 Netherlands

 

[PowderedToast]

Portugal song was beautiful but speech was unnecessary

Eurovision is a celebration for all kinds of kitsch music and that's the legacy.

 

[Jasup]

I don't like the song also, but to pretend people are not salty about it winning is silly read the thread man, the salt is real (and funny).

There are so many levels of irony I don't know what's real and what isn't
There are also many levels of intoxication which complicates things even further

 

[CGwizz]

Portugal won, our bros at spain had almost no points :S

And gaf tears ofcourse xD

Go Salvador !!!

A song from the soul won

 

[oti]

This German after show show is terrible please shoot me.

 

[GrayFoxPL]

...I liked it.

Fist bump!

 

[Milchmann]

The German public should not be allowed to vote for their participant.

Raab should produce a song and that's it. Apparently that's the only way we still have a shot.

Well Raab was involved in this year's selection.

 

[Diprosalic]

If it wasn't for Ireland we would have gotten last place.

Goddammit, Ireland! 😡

we gave you 3 points too.
beziehungsweise ihr habt euch selbst 3 punkte gegeben.
Geht von meinem Rasen runter

 

[DiddysKongQuest]

We shall assume she stole the name as an act of deception then.

Accepted lol

SCHWEDEN...god...Sverige or gtfo...

 

[Apzu]

Has there ever been such a gap between neighbouring countries? I mean Portugal was first with 758 points and Spain almost got 0 points.

I bet you'd do a better job than any if those awful people involved.

last year i wrote an honest email to our tv station to make a case that i should be in charge of the eurovision selection and made some decent suggestions. I guaranteed a top 15 finish.

they passed.

Yeah, dude took it too seriously.

But it'd be funny if next year most countries would present serious songs because of it.

 

[RocknRola]

SCHWEDEN...god...Sverige or gtfo...

How about "Suécia"?

There are so many levels of irony I don't know what's real and what isn't
There are also many levels of intoxication which complicates things even further

True, drinks likely came into play! I know if I was at a bar right now, I'd be getting super drunk tonight hehe

 

[Diprosalic]

Has there ever been such a gap between neighbouring countries? I mean Portugal was first with 500 something and Spain almost got 0 points.

well the numbers inflated but in 2010 germany won with Lena and we received 2 points in the semi final. the lowest in the competition and the lowest ever.

 

[chromatic9]

At least we can all agree that Spain's entry was the worst.

Yep. GAF and Europe might not agree on the winner but we can on Spain.

Will Spain offer an apology tomorrow morning across all networks?

 

[Syder]

Germany's plan:

1. Copy popular David Guetta song
2. ???
3. Profit

 

[Ladekabel]

This German after show show is terrible please shoot me.

DGAF as a collective should choose the next song we send. 💪

And the after show is the thing the people flabbergasted by the results for Germany should watch to understand.

 

[Kinan]

Oh, fuck it, just find out that separatist shelled Avdiivka again just before the final, 4 civilians killed. :/ Ukrainian president planned to be at the final, but canceled due to the event.

Hopefully, you enjoyed the show, Europe.

 

[Rynam]

DGAF as a collective should choose the next song we send. ��

And the after show is the thing the people flabbergasted by the results for Germany should watch to understand.

Germany should just send Rammstein, bet that would get you some points.

Sverige var skit. Skinande skit kanske, men ändå skit.

Sweden's still better than most

Considering those people love Helene Fischer it all makes perfect sense. Shit taste from everyone involved.

 

[Kurtofan]

the speech at the end was really trash imo

 

[RocknRola]

Germany should just send Rammstein, bet that would get you some points.

Pretty sure the budget for a Rammstein live show is like x10 the entire Eurovison Those dudes don't joke around, they give you a damn show!

So good. *sniff

 

[Deft Beck]

Salvador deserved to win and his speech was on point.

Bless.

 

[Apzu]

So i got 6 out of 10 countries in top10 right, but if you consider ranking only Portugal, Belgium and Romania. I said Belgium would do better than most expected.

Also this was a good year, we have 3 non-english songs in top10, Italy, Portugal and Hungary.

Germany's plan:

1. Copy popular David Guetta song
2. ???
3. Profit

I think it's more like send anything, everyone loves us and we will win by default.

 

[pinkurocket]

Some of my fave robbed song from recent-ish years.

Eva Boto - Verjamem (his one was especially robbed)

Hera Björk - Je Ne Sais Quoi

Bojana Stamenov - Beauty Never Lies

REAL music.

Thanks for this, Belgium is so good. I'll be happy listening to this for a while, and that's never happened before.

Eurovision is usually one and done.

 

[Nielm]

Hungary's song was pretty good: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hqM0AkP7zcI

If there was no rap part and the staging was better, it could have had more of a shot.

 

[Apzu]

Belgium with that performance in the top 5 would be tragic. So would Greece being above Armenia.

Spoiler

#voteforGreece

Greece was almost better than Armenia, but Belgium got their top5

 

[oti]

Loreen could've won.

Sverige var skit. Skinande skit kanske, men ändå skit.

Sweden's still better than most

Take Me To You Heaven by Charlotte Nilsson was the best.

And I think it was the only year I was watching it live.

 

[Spyware]

Seems like its Swedish production in Eurovision as well. That guy that handed them the trophy in the end works with the production with the swedish melodifestivalen...

Björkman was asked to help with the general stuff last year and was happy to help. He lives for that stuff. Getting to work on a Eurovision show and not having to host it yourself? Must be a dream to him, haha. He was then suddenly "promoted" to showrunner a couple of weeks ago and had a say in pretty much everything from there.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

Tastes in music differ so whatever but why people are defending his speech I don't understand. It was garbage and kinda sad.

 

[SecretMoblin]

Loreen could've won.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckFNon_1PgY

what could have been

 

[Apzu]

You want to talk about robbed, this portuguese song got null points without a reason:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wlxrGFssQR8

Verka Serduchka didn't win 2007
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfjHJneVonE

And somehow belgium lost 2003
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRQlsvWMWBo

 

[pinkurocket]

Loreen could've won.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ckFNon_1PgY

I actually thought this had won melfest until like last week. ):

 

[RocknRola]

Heh

 

[DukeBobby]

Yeah, Rammstein are Eurovision as fuck.

They may have to ditch the penis cannon, though.

 

[Ravensmash]

We've had 100 pages of catty remarks for humor why take Nev's comment serious. He's not wrong in his hate of the song, jazz needs to be contained quickly and safely is the only way to eradicate it.

What's wrong with jazz?

 

[RocknRola]

Yeah, Rammstein are Eurovision as fuck.

They may have to ditch the penis cannon, though.

Or, or, or, just cover it in glitter/LEDs!
