At least we got Asiavision to look forward to next year.

 

[Kathian]

During the second performance of the Ukrainian song I wonder how many people thought "I can't believe I voted for that shit!".

None. They were listening to the story. Seriously if you guys don't like it fine but don't make declarations on others.

 

[Charles]

Wow.

It's a bad song in a language I don't understand. Where's the controversy?

 

[PodcastFips]

Why does everyone hate Germany?

They don't hate us, they love us for consistenly making last place.

 

[PotionBleue]

Definitely the worst winner in recent ESC history.

Azerbaijan 2011 (Running Scared, Ell & Nikki) was quite unpopular too if you go by the points

 

[NewDust]

Goodnight everybody. Will see some of you tomorrow in the F1 thread.

 

[cyba89]

Next Eurovision we all will ask ourselves: "THAT song won last year?!"

 

[Orcastar]

Was there some kind of joke I missed why Poland was 3rd in public voting? That was terrible. And Ukraine was middle of the pack at best.

Democracy was a mistake.

People voted for Poland because the guy looked like Prince, who happened to die recently.

 

[oipic]

In a way, I'm relieved - Australia may not have chalked up enough Eurovision 'history' to deserve a win just yet - second, and winning the jury vote, is nothing to sneeze at, and politically, finishing second is perhaps more fitting in the end. Happy!

Again, just genuinely very pleased to be able to be a small part of the Eurovision family, it's terrific fun.

 

[Xater]

Why does everyone hate Germany?

Because our song was shit. I heard it for the first time and didn't care for it at all. No idea what people vote here at all. Seems like Raab needs to do this again.

 

[CoolOff]

Serhat was robbed. ROBBED.

 

[Red Arremer]

Man, I just heard it holy shit, "They come to your house and kill" wtf. I thought ESC songs would be more "happy". Also what language did she use beside english?

Crimean Tatar.

 

[Joni]

Time to completely ignore the televote next year.

 

[Syder]

The salt over Eurovision, why? It's the most corrupt bollocks going.

 

[Fliesen]

Really.... why vote for Ukraine...Worst song ever.

the Austrian TV commentator said the top 3 of the Austrian televoters were Ukraine, Poland and Russia.

2 of Germany's points came from us!
you're welcome, buddies!

 

[Sesuadra]

What state the country is in? Pease tell me. I was in Ukraine last year and a year before. You can say exactly the same thing about Russia by this logic....

If russia had won I would ask the same question >_>. And it was a genuine question, that I hoped someone with knowledge would answer. So no need for this behaviour from you.

 

[roytheone]

11 th place, not bad.

Well done Douwe!

 

[spons]

Oh come on, Germany was horrid, look past the weeb attire, please.

 

[Ozium]

if UK ever wants to win

Spoiler

anything

they just need to contract an American again..

 

[Diprosalic]

corrupt how? winning just costs you money lol.

 

[His Majesty]

Man, I just heard it holy shit, "They come to your house and kill" wtf. I thought ESC songs would be more "happy". Also what language did she use beside english?


Time to listen to what australia was about.

Ukraine was over the top dramatic in a contest already filled with cliché dramatic power ballads. Couldn't help but burst out laughing. Just cashing in on the current political climate.

 

[Crv756]

Russia should have won, damn politics ruining it.

 

[Mestizo]

Germany last again. Poor Germany. Poor Spain. Poor Cyprus.
Well, at least Russia didn't win.

 

[Yonafunu]

at least douwe bob seems to be having a good time

 

[Oersted]

Ann Sophie. Never forget.

Poland?
I was always a little skeptical about your taste, but this is too much!

Spoiler

 

[Ennosuke]

I don't get it. Why did Ukraine win? Such a bad song.

 

[Resident_UA]

Next Eurovision we all will ask ourselves: "THAT song won last year?!"

Obviously I like Ukraine song quite a lot because of what it stands for. But you can ask yourself the same questions bout 90% of songs that win Eurovision. Not going to lie, this is mostly about presentation of the song and politics, but it still feels very good to win

 

[GrayFoxPL]

Just admit it was a crap song.

Yeah 3rd place in people's true votes show it was a crap song. Think McFly.

Australia got robbed

Also, who the heck voted for Poland?

Not politically retarded jury.

 

[oti]

See? Poland being one of the favourites is the kind of weirdness that only Eurovision is capable of.

It was the one song people who aren't into contemporary music voted for.

 

[antonz]

Ukraine was over the top dramatic in a contest already filled with cliché dramatic power ballads. Just cashing in on the current political climate.

A Crimean Tartar signing about Russian persecution isn't dramatic its a fact of life that they are reliving again in 2016 as Russia brutalizes the Crimean Tartar population all over again

 

[Humidex]

I get why the Ukraine entry won, but still, Super Hans as ever nailed it.

 

[Ozium]

I don't get it. Why did Ukraine win? Such a bad song.

You are asking this about a competition that awarded Lordi?

 

[Nexus Zero]

I voted Bulgaria and Ukraine, happy with that. Don't understand the hate but I thought it was an innovative use of a classic garage style beat and an actual heartfelt song rather than all the other dross.

 

[stan423321]

You can put your political jury voting deep in the ass.
Jury:
Poland - 7

People:
Poland - 222

Let's be honest here, these were all emigrants voting for "their" team. Imagine if [soccer] World Cup results were decided by vote with similar "self-voting prevention" clause... that would be hilarious. The knockout participants would be Poland/Israel/Vietnam/Russia/ISIS/China/etc. No matter what.

I did not watch this year's show so I refuse to comment on the songs. The one time I tried I was not a target audience of any of them.

 

[magnificenz]

at least douwe bob seems to be having a good time

He said he is bi. Why don't he carry Hovi too?

 

[Sesuadra]

strange thing is...I can't remember the polish song anymore. only that the guy looked like jesus

 

[Oersted]

Return of Poland was the best thing

 

[Xando]

Atleast Russia didn't win

If this were the case, Austrian televoters would have sent far more points to Germany, former yugoslavian countries and hungary.
the 8, 10 and 12 points from Austria went to POL, RUS and UKR.

 

[Apzu]

Peace Peace love love? Yeah not this time...

 

[Arthea]

Russia should have won, damn politics ruining it.

why should the worst song performed by one winged Sephiroth win again?

You are asking this about a competition that awarded Lordi?

don't you dare touch our Lordi!

 

[qazqaNii]

Crimean Tatar.

I thought it was Turkish for some reason, I thought I understood something about it; sounded like: "I didn't live here yet" or something like that .

 

[T.O.P]

Russia should have won, damn politics ruining it.

Discount Mans Zelmerlow? lololol

 

[Resident_UA]

If russia had one I would ask the same question >_>. And it was a genuine question, that I hoped someone with knowledge would answer. So no need for this behaviour from you.

The capital of Ukraine is safer than some US cities. The conflict is very localized. There shouldn't be any security concerns.

 

[Corleth the Fey]

People voted for Poland because the guy looked like Prince, who happened to die recently.

That was Prince? I thought it was the worst Gary Oldman in Francis Ford Coppola's Dracula cosplay I've ever seen.

 

[F-Pina]

We laughed so much.
When the Swedish voter said "if there is room in the heart, there is room in the butt".

Russia should have won, damn politics ruining it.

That song sucked as well. It only had the amazing performance going for it.

 

[oti]

I'm already getting tons of salt from some (Greek) family members over the phone lol.

A Greek helped writing the Russian song and since Greece was terrible I guess they saw the Russian entry as their own.

Well. Pech.

New voting system is basically this:
