don't you dare touch our Lordi!

I'm American, we have Gwar. We don't need your Lordi. We don't want your Lordi.

 

[Scipio]

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

It wasn't Jared Leto?

 

[Joni]

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

But it would have been good enough for a couple of weeks of airtime everywhere.

Well at least we have next year's host to look forward to:

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

It's actually a common colloquial expression. "Finns det hjärterum så finns det stjärterum". It basically means that there's a seat at the table for you if we like you.

The system is the same. They just changed how the votes are announced.

Gotta love Gaf trying to understand Eurovision. Justin Timberlake would have finished 24th if he competed. Ukraine and Poland were EASY to call as some of the top countries in the televote. Heartfelt, and the kind of unique, weird but somehow captivating stuff you only find in ESC. Jury dropped the ball on voting for the good, but also a bit bland Australisn entry so much.

it's 90% of the fun

Shit i didn't think about this!

It could be freakin incredible

 

[Jasup]

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.

There are not enough Polish emigrants to do that

 

[Wingus]

Love Love Peace Peace was the best performance of the night. The hosts were great!

Germany <3

Putin's assassination squads already trying to do their job.

 

[Violet_0]

I wanted Australa to win (or Hungary) but the Ukraine song actually is quite alright too. It stands out from the rest. The songs were mostly pretty bad this year, maybe more so than usually

Poland was sooo bad

I was the first Ukraine vote lol.

 

[Rafy]

I was hoping for Australia but better Ukraine than Russia

Out of 197 GAF votes:

All those Germany votes must be Germans, lol

 

[Xord]

I wonder if Ukraine has the money to host next years contest.

 

[El Topo]

German TV. The salt is real.

[PodcastFips]

German TV. The salt is real.

Aber sie kanns von hinten und von vorn.

?!?!

 

[Firemind]

I don't understand. How did Ukraine catch up? Austrailia had a lead of 100+.

 

[El Topo]

Aber sie kanns von hinten und von vorn.

?!?!

Das zeigt sie auf der Reeperbahn. Fantastic commentary.

 

[Bedameister]

Spain got robbed

 

[Xater]

All those Germany votes must be Germans, lol

I didn't vote for my country. I voted for Australia.That was top to bottom great, I mean song and performance. I'd say followed by Spain and Belgium. Spain was very underrated.

[Diprosalic]

I don't understand. How did Ukraine catch up? Austrailia had a lead of 100+.

they bundled all the audience votes and gave them out at once in the end, ukraine got 320 points in one swoop.
russia got the most points from audiences 370-ish but it wasn't enough to overcome the lead ukraine had from the jury voting.

 

[PodcastFips]

Das zeigt sie auf der Reeperbahn. Fantastic commentary.

I didn't even think of that, brilliant

 

[oti]

What is that song at the German after party.

 

[Sesuadra]

AnimeGAF and K-Pop Gaf!

I voted for Australia

 

[Fliesen]

I don't understand. How did Ukraine catch up? Austrailia had a lead of 100+.

Jury votes are much more diversified than Televoting.

Ukraine got like 300 points in televoting, Australia got a whole bunch less.

What is that song at the German after party.

i think that's a song quickly written in honor of the German contestant.

 

[Corleth the Fey]

New voting system is basically this:

Very good. &#128514;

I think Bladerunner girl should have won, as Ivan the wolf man didn't make it though.

Dude, Ukraine hosted Euro 2012. Eurovision is nothing in comparison. There are so many ignorant comments in this thread. Ukrainian economy is not in great shape, but it's not some sort of tribe. Big cities are doing OK and are very much comparable to any other European city.

 

[PodcastFips]

What is that song at the German after party.

Madeline Juno - Stupid Girl

 

[Mestizo]

Are the jury votes so important that they are announced one by one while people's votes are all added together?

 

[oti]

Madeline Juno - Stupid Girl

It's not great. But she's got potential.

 

[Diprosalic]

What is that song at the German after party.

edit: beaten like germany at the esc.

I was in Kiev a few weeks back, freaking amazing city.

 

[Red Arremer]

The system is the same. They just changed how the votes are announced.

Yup, that and the points are just doubled instead of jury/televote getting combined for each country. If it were like last year, just split the points in half and you'd get the result for the old voting system. They just wouldn't have done the second half.

 

[Ansatz]

I need to stop predicting the overall winner and just say the public vote next time lol, I said Italy last year and Russia this year.

The jury vote is pure bullshit, and I'm not saying as someone who's butthurt since I wanted Sweden to win last year so I benefit from this system but it has to go away. The jury is supposed to even out block/political voting but they are actually making things worse.

Emigrants from Poland added for 3rd most votes of all people.Wow, some people are dull.

You wrote what now? You seriously are that incredibly stupid. Congrats.

 

[GoodMorningPluto]

Why do people call Ukranian song crap?
I legit liked it and thought it was more interesting than kinda safeish Australian one.

 

[chadskin]

We're still Weltmeister guys

 

[TheSlySoul]

I am.so upset Ukraine won. Russia and Australia stomped them in quality.

New voting system is basically this:

Pretty much, next year fan vote should be 50% of points judges have...

IIRC they didn't participate last year because of money problems.

 

[Diprosalic]

this won't be the only european contest you'll lose at this year.

 

[antonz]

Russia already on the offensive. Russia Today posting articles about the corruption of Eurovision and their TV license fee system

 

[Cub3h]

You wrote what now? You seriously are that incredibly stupid. Congrats.

When there's 20+ countries to vote for, emigrant blocks can easily add up. The UK's top points went to Lithuania and Poland, that wasn't just because of everyone loving the song lol. Same always happened with Turkey too, they'd get 12 or 10 points from Germany, Holland etc.
