There was a time when nice slow ballada were the heart and soul of Eurovision...

You bloody kids these days, just want loud flashy noise...

***Checks the loud, flashy, noisy songs I rated 1st and 2nd***

Ukraine and Italy...

Yeah, well whatever, I like the ballady ones too...

I was listening to some songs thinking this isn't "Eurovision" enough!

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 9:56pm

So Italy are looking almost unstoppable at this point. Can anyone catch them???
1|Italy |67|
2|Switzerland|44|
3|Ireland|42|
4|Iceland|41|
5|Finland|37|
6|Belgium|37|
7|Croatia|35|
8|Ukraine|31|
9|France|30|
10|Romania|23|

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:02pm

Next reveal we have is for the votes from JP Liz 1.

Australia with their first points of the night from Liz, nothing for the table leaders at all allows Ireland time to make a move on the top spot. Could the comeback start here?
1|Italy |67|
2|Ireland|48|
3| Switzerland|46|
4|Finland|45|
5|Iceland|41|
6|Belgium|40|
7|France|37|
8|Croatia|35|
9|United Kingdom|32|
10|Ukraine|31|

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:08pm

No points for Ireland means they fall back down to fight for third with Iceland but a big 12 for Switzerland means the chase is truly on now! Italy fail to score again. Everyone else has started to bunch up in the midfield.
1|Italy |67|
2|Switzerland|58|
3| Iceland|48|
4|Ireland|48|
5|Finland|45|
6|Belgium|40|
7|France|40|
8|Ukraine|39|
9|Croatia|35|
10|United Kingdom|32|

The tension in the green room is palpabale.

speckle · 21-05-2021 10:09pm

just thinking what a crazy mix of genres I voted for..well I suppose thats part of the Eurovision fun

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:19pm

Here's the top ten. I'll post a full list before I get to Speckle's points.

1|Italy |75|
2|Switzerland|65|
3| Iceland|58|
4|Ukraine|51|
5|Ireland|48|
6|Finland|45|
7|France|45|
8|Belgium|42|
9|Croatia|35|
10|United Kingdom|32|

With 10 points separating Switzerland and Italy, it's within Speckle's power to win it for the Swiss. Iceland are too far behind now to make a play for the crown so it's down to these final 2.
So this is it, the final countdown.

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:26pm

ari101 · 21-05-2021 10:27pm

Come on the Swiss

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:35pm

Your final top ten is:

1|Italy |87|
2|Switzerland|70|
3| Iceland|58|
4|Ukraine|57|
5|Ireland|55|
6|Finland|47|
7|France|45|
8|Belgium|42|
9|Croatia|35|
10|Russia|33|

Full list of all countries will follow. Thanks to everyone who took part and special thanks to AnLachaCorcra who didn't participate but did help out a lot behind the scenes tonight to keep me right.

I've been your host Molly, thank you, and goodnight!

JP Liz V1 · 21-05-2021 10:37pm

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 21-05-2021 10:38pm

A worthy winner indeed. If that's the way the result goes tomorrow night, I'll be very happy.

Excellent game and reveal Molly, fair play.

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:39pm

Final List of scores:

Mollyb60 · 21-05-2021 10:43pm

Yeah out of that final top 10 the only ones I don't like are Ukraine and Belgium with her stupid Johnny Cash Tshirt. What a ridiculous lyric. I'd be delighted if Italy win tomorrow, it's a great song and they've been steadily submitting really good entries for the last few years with no luck.

My heart is set on poor Iceland though. I really want them to win but I know they wont.

speckle · 21-05-2021 10:46pm

thanks Molly

Great song and stage presence.

ari101 · 21-05-2021 10:47pm

Picked a loser up as always, don't think I've picked a winner since Serbia won with Molitva

But happy enough with Italy it was in my top 10

Thanks Molly that was great fun, you had my hopes up at the end even though it was unlikely :pac:

Irish Aris · 21-05-2021 10:48pm

Yes!!! A great winner!!!

Thank you for organising Molly, really enjoyable game!!!

Toto Wolfcastle · 21-05-2021 10:48pm

Italy are worthy winners in fairness. Thanks Mollyb60. It was interesting to see other people's (sometimes terrible) choices.

Can't begrudge the Italerians, a fine effort.

At least Swiss didn't win.

Thanks for that, Molly, an enjoyable evening.

Thanks speckle, only just realised I didn't post the actual winning song. Doh!!

JP Liz V1 · 21-05-2021 11:01pm

Bravo Molly Well Done

cee_jay · 21-05-2021 11:09pm

Thanks Molly!

21-05-2021 11:31pm

Thanks for running Molly. Eight of my top ten finished in the overall top ten, so happy enough with that! Interesting to see only two songs finish on nul points (I didn't think Estonia was THAT bad!)

Mollyb60 · 22-05-2021 10:13pm

Has anyone's top 10 changed after the live show??

My new top 10 would be

Top 10 from the live show for me:
1. Iceland
2. Finland
3. Italy
4. Malta
5. Switzerland
6. Portugal
7. Bulgaria
8. Sweden
9. France
10. UK

Necro · 22-05-2021 10:17pm

CYPRUS!!!!!!

ari101 · 22-05-2021 10:17pm

Yep

In part because a couple of my choices are gone (I'd definitely still have Romania and Czechia in here if they were around) so based on who is left:

1. Switzerland
2. Spain
3. Italy
4. Malta
5. Lithuania
6. Netherlands
7. Norway
8. Belgium
9. Russia
10. Azerbaijan

Malta is a real grower but I'm not being swayed on Swiss...

Necro · 22-05-2021 10:19pm

I thought Switzerland wasn't great, your man has a decent voice but the staging and tacky dancing was awful...

22-05-2021 10:38pm

Mollyb60 wrote: »

Based solely on tonight:

1. Ukraine
2. France
3. Italy
4. Iceland
5. Switzerland
6. Belgium
7. Lithuania
8. Portugal
9. Russia
10. San Marino

Honourable mention to Germany too though, ultimate guilty pleasure! I thought the whole show was excellent, all of the delegations should be proud as nobody really disappointed; even Moldova sounded better tonight than she did in the semi!

I don't like the staging but I still like the song more than anything else

Wahey, 'hon Italy...

Winning the Eurovision 2 nights in a row, after their victory here last night...

Whoop! Whoop!

Mollyb60 · 22-05-2021 11:56pm

We correctly predicted the winner anyway. A very worthy winner. Well done Italy. Delighted.

Necro · 22-05-2021 11:56pm

UK getting double zero points was hilariously brutal

ari101 · 23-05-2021 12:03am

I feel bad for the UK, like there were much worse songs

But we suffered the nil fate with some mid table songs over the years too... Ah brexit

I was crying with laughter when the first handful of countries got zero points, and then all the other relatively low scorers and then Ukraine comes along and are like "BAM! How do you like those points you out of touch juries"...

Necro · 23-05-2021 12:08am

Aye.

Professional juries

Automatic qualification for anyone bar the hosts needs to end, simples. Three out of the five auto qualifiers got absolutely nothing from the public, and a total of nine points from the juries.

Make every country earn their place. Very very simple to do

Everyone just pays a bit more, at the moment they are buying their place over the table brown envelope shtyle

Sawduck · 23-05-2021 12:39am

Italy wins everywhere, fantastic song. people on here were to generous to Ireland and uk, two of the worst songs.Thanks for running this molly

Also Starring LeVar Burton · 23-05-2021 2:46pm

Was having a read of some of the Eurovision Thread in the Television Forum... an awful lot of moaning michaels and head the balls over there spewing nothing but misey and contempt, felt more like a thread you'd see in Current Affairs.

Glad that this game was all about enjoyment and celebration and not sh*tting all over everything like quite a lot of the rest of boards has become.

Necro · 23-05-2021 2:47pm

I was only there to make fun of the UK in fairness
