Well probably not considering it garnered 309 public votes!!

Seriously lads, the voting system was class - highlights a massive disconnect between juries and public votes.

take everything

Petra's s bit strange

There you are people. If you want Ireland to do well next year, take a leaf out of Poland's book and move all across Europe and vote for Ireland. We could even bring the turkey back, it's that much of a sham. Poland got just 7 points from the jury vote and came 3rd in the public vote.

Edt: WTF? That's Ukraine's song? That's what won?

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

It would have been alot better if they went back to each country for their fan votes.

She looks sad. Again.

Mad, Ted.

But highly enjoyed Petra and Mans - they did a good job.

Pleasant voicemail lady assures me they will listen to my call first thing Monday, so I'll see ye all at 1.45pm on Monday.

I hated how that voting system worked but man am I glad Australia didn't win.

Delighted Aus didn't win. I would have been furious if they weren't allowed to host it on their home ground if they wish.

How can you say that when it was the 2nd highest publically voted song?

Howjoe1

a bit sickening. jury's had the Aussie song miles ahead, then we got the "phone" vote.:rolleyes:

Broken Hearted Road

Ukraine is sh1te.

Red Kev

CNN live report from the Russian-Ukrainian border.

road_high

Most political song in years...sympathy vote. Russian Ukraine war played out in the Eurovision!

MadYaker

Is she hammered

Busi_Girl08

Is she going to do this next year, and then do a plucky pop number?

Ben Gadot

Ironic that in a year that "current" songs are being championed that a 90s type song wins.

Yep just adding her album to my iTunes account 😉

Am I the only one here who voted for Ukraine?

BorneTobyWilde

Hearing this for first time.


Has the weird lining that's needed to win. More talking that singing.


We should of had someone sing about water charges in hindsight .

So we all agree to either let Russia invade Ireland or write a good banger about 800 years next year right?

Caoimhgh1n

The high notes... My ears...

Broken Hearted Road

You need to be sh1te at singing to win Eurovision.

Crap winner but such an entertaining show and thread

Welsh Megaman

Was looking forward to hearing the Bulgaria song again

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

Fixed?

If it was just the popular vote it would have been Russia, Ukraine, Australia. But Ukraine would have beaten Australia nevertheless.

I think it does show block voting though, the polish diaspora sent a song bottom on the jury votes to 7th, the U.K. got zero votes.

murpho999

Why are so many here against the song. I thought it was very good.

superfurry1

Agree with previous poster why not go to public vote last and longer and do jurry vote quickly awful was really happy with Eurovision up to the winner now it's embarrassing again couldn't be promoting that turd of a winner

BoJack Horseman

On 2nd hearing... it was a little better.

However still not the best, not by any stretch.

She already had red eyes when she was talking to Mans earlier so I'd say there's a bit of a chance she is :-D

Caoimhgh1n

I wanted Zoe to win.

Kristopherus

What a godawful rubbish song. More akin to those Muslim moaners you hear in the Middle East.

I know...we need to get the UK to invade us again. Only way we will win this thing again!

Mr.Nice Guy

I found the jury vote more in line with my own feelings. Don't think Ukraine deserved the win and I think Poland deserved to be bottom.

Disappointed.

It would have come second (and close second) on the public only vote.
