    Wanted Aussies to win to show political voting wasn't an issue.

    But Ukraine winning proves the utter opposite.

    The world is going mad Ted, giving it to Nazi sympathising Nazis.

    But good to see Russia being the most popular with the public.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,793 ✭✭✭Red Kev


    Ok. That was exciting. Not sure if it's the right way to do it though.

    Ukraine win,,, im calling a fix with this voting method

    The result would be exactly the same, its just a different way of compiling it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,812 ✭✭✭thelad95


    This will be one of the most unpopular winning songs ever.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 142 ✭✭BlondeMoment


    I really liked Polands song! Glad they did well!

    Ukraine though!?

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,807 ✭✭✭CFlat

    It must be calculated on the most invaded country since the last Eurovision.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,807 ✭✭✭take everything

    UK voters went for Lithuania with their 12 points and Poland with 10 pts. I bet Ireland's votes will be similar if not the same.

    No way, there voting is more sane than the public.

    The combination worked great. It was exciting at the end.

    Really don't wanna hear this song again horrible


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,603 ✭✭✭coffeepls


    How totally crap was that - I hope they ditch that voting Graham, it was useless and annoying


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,320 ✭✭✭✭Cienciano


    I think maybe do the public vote first, then the judges vote


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 73,599 ✭✭✭✭Welsh Megaman


    LLS misery, put into a song.


  • Moderators, Recreation & Hobbies Moderators, Science, Health & Environment Moderators, Technology & Internet Moderators Posts: 92,986 Mod ✭✭✭✭Capt'n Midnight


    Would have been better lumping the jury vote first and then do the public one by one

    You was robbed. Stupid rapacious Putin.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,948 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    How the fcuk did that just happen???

    Poland jumped up from last with 7 points to 7th, Poles in every country voting for themselves, not fixed at all

    And Ukraine jumping into first, how did they decide they get 300 odd points from the phones? Just allocate them enough to win, that'll do


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,661 ✭✭✭Crimsonforce


    Ukraine use the euro too?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,643 ✭✭✭Woodville56


    Maybe we should have had Nikki Byrne sing something about 1916 so ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,033 ✭✭✭✭Richard Hillman


    I am gobsmacked


  • Registered Users Posts: 33,757 ✭✭✭✭RobertKK


    Ukraine won due to the message of the song and it is quality, despite what some think.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,541 ✭✭✭duridian




  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,205 ✭✭✭✭hmmm


    I'd say Graham isn't looking forward to the trip to Odessa next year

    Get the depression hotline on speed dial, guys!!!
