I'm shocked at how poorly San Marino and Malta did in the televote. Was expecting them to do quite well. Big skew towards the top 5 with votes.

Italian lead singer can now buy himself a fresh tee shirt.

Maybe he is the one that stole the woman from Belgium's Johnny cash t shirt!

The results of the public vote is now just more dreadful reality TV, painfully dragging it out with pauses etc.Horrible to watch.

And yet you watched it to the end?

This was always a form of reality tv if that what that is a voting system which will vote for songs, and one wins and the others don’t.

Pointed out on twitter, Israel spent the last month bombing the shyt out of women and children in their beds and they got 93 points, UK still 0.

Only 1 of the songs in top 5 was in English.

Perhaps we should send a song in Irish, or send something that's not completely ****e

I was so worried about the hype about Malta's song honestly I even got worried but at least the public got it right!

Thought that was a thoroughly entertaining Eurovision myself.

One of my biggest takeaways is that I need to get the BBC for next year. Marty is the drizzling ****s and seems to do his best to spoil the night with his drivel.

Out of the frying pan and into the fire, you'd have to listen to graham Norton then.

Neither Italy nor Finland got any points from judges.

ACitizenErased · 23-05-2021 12:45AM

Lots of speculation that Italians were snorting cocaine going around. They say they smashed a glass.

Was just about to comment the same. That shocked me.
I personally don't think the best song one this year...at the same time it's good to see that a variety of songs can win rather than the same style of song winning every year.

I hope they investigate this. Absolutely disgraceful if true.

How Soon Is Now · 23-05-2021 12:46AM

Haha just heard press conference there for Italy someone from English media asked them about the English song getting no points. Always has to be about them. They wonder why no one ****ing likes them.

UK get no points from anywhere yet get automatic entry next year

Germans get 3 points from 'professional' juries and get automatic entry next year

Spain get 6 points and yet get automatic entry next year

There's a simple solution but the countries will hate it

End auto qualification for everyone but the previous winners, make every single country have to earn their place in the final

Dont those countries contribute most of the money towards the European Broadcasting Union?

Its a complete farce which is why many don't watch it

ACitizenErased · 23-05-2021 01:01AM

"a farce", "disgrace" etc etc. The public voted for it and it won, What's the issue????

If I had been involved in that tasteless fiasco of a sh#tshow, I would be doing drugs as well.
No judgement here , but seriously they do look a bit ' glittery' in that twitter clip.

I tuned into Graham as I can’t stand Marty....but ended up switching back to Marty! Graham seemed to be annoyed by the whole thing

Like the other poster mentioned there was better songs that should have won

Ireland came last in their semi final and received a very tiny number of votes..

Another hear ahead and Rte will pull another singer out of a corner, spend a pile of money preparing the singer and the exact will again be earned

Time to withdraw from the contest until RTE management are able to make a serious effort to find act.

Why not a national song contest on tv and pick the next act there in full view of the public . Shameful TB be throwing licence fee money any acts that are not producing.

JupiterKid · 23-05-2021 01:11AM

The best song definitely did not win tonight. Italy’s heavy rock number was okayish but not deserving of a win. That accolade should have gone to France or Malta.

Have no idea how Switzerland did so well with the national juries, but the popular phone vote gave Lithuania the highest points. The splitting of the vote between juries and the viewing audience changes the ranking too much in the final part of the vote.

Here is one of the many twitters going around. Make your own mind up.
His bandmate seems to be nudging him to stop doing something. What, I don't know.
