- Surprisingly great. - Ditto. - Was pretty indifferent about this one, not terrible, but not outstanding. - Whether you thought this was a shock or not, we're all happy this made it. - Welcome back to the final - Taylor Swift in 12 years, not gonna lie, but quite a shock for me. - You asked for it - They served, obviously - Ditto - Good effort. Also, welcome back to the final - Good song, shit performance Honestly, I could sing this song better than him if I wanted. - Bye - Not gonna lie, I couldn't hear a word she sang. - Fuck, have you guys any original ideas anymore? Bye - One of my possible shocks. Oh well - Bye

Another good results again. I honestly liked every qualifier especially happy for Albania and Bejba qualifying. I could live without Belgium and Australia qualifying and I would only replace them with Georgia if I could. But overall very satisfied with the results. If I had to make my prediction after the show, I would have gotten 9/10 right.
Also wtf why did they do Portugal dirty with that r/o? And EBU just really hate Czechia everytime they are in the final they get a early r/o of the half they perform in…

My thoughts on the results - wasn't expecting anything great unfortunately last place curse is still on Germany - thought it would be higher but performance wasn't the best - Robbed - hoped it would be higher. also i guess this goodbye Portugal since Sweden won. see in 2025 - Robbed - Robbed - Meh - Meh - Live was off bit he was moving to much and seemed out of breath during the performance - The biggest shock of the night as it even flopped with the Televote. the online fans really over hyped it. - Robbed - live was good just a challenging final - expected it to be in the top 10 as she was great live - I liked the studio version but live wasn't anything that deserved out doing other countries below it. - good song and live so I'd say deserved - expected this to be low but I'd say it was deserved as well - improved from they pre-eurovision performances and happy they did well - happy we did well. we even won the semi final for the 3rd time and came 9th again. - surprised this was so high - Happy he did so well deserved - it was expected that this would do well just glad they didn't get over hyped - shocked this flopped with the juries all because she and vocal issue during the jury show deserved better from them. - I don't think this was they best entry and other countries deserved better - the song wasn't bad but the live performance really carried this up to the bronze position. - the country I really wanted to win and it did win the televotes however Kaarija was going up against a Eurovision powerhouse that wouldn't go down easily. - This was no surprise to anyone Loreen is a Eurovision powerhouse so her not winning was defiantly low.

My Goddess, what a year. Here are my thoughts on the results: Aaaaand again, you flop despite having a strong entry and strong performance this year. Where the fuck was the dignity? And where were YOU three? *She devil voice* I was rooting for you, we were all rooting for you, how dare you??? That was harsh from the televote, wow...... Good job not flopping Jesus, the juries boosted this one, right? Literally any of these three were going to take it, in my opinion. But..... FEMALE JOHNNY LOGAN CONFIRMED Seriously, did anyone not think this was a lock? This time, there might b a chance for this song to have some kind of crossover success here in America Because of this, I might have to stay on the forums for at least another year, if my job (or college) has anything to say about it. And another host city battle begins.....

Semi-Final 1 definitely not deserved to be last here. Their energy was too good to be this low but again, Malta and televoting is like a parallel so in a 100% semi-final… not surprise but certainly disappointed. expected but they really intrigued me so much during the show. I literally had their song last for months but after Tuesday, it grew on me a lot thanks to their live. One of my personal favorite backdrops of the whole edition imo it’s so captivating. But their vocal and chemistry were not it. NQ was deserved. Sad for them that they are gonna have to face even more harsh criticisms by local media after this tho. I unironically enjoyed the song since the start lol but the performance was NOT it. Worst vocal-wise showcase ever and them saying they not qualifying is because of politics is hilarious. Should have been last imo. SHOULD HAVE QUALIFIED (but again, the 10 Qs are either deserved or expected so ughhh). This left me speechless during the show and felt into their . RoTW, we are so outsold Europe and show tastes by giving this 8. But seriously after this NQed, I asked myself wtf Latvia has to send to finally get to the final?
Semi-final 2 I was so happy during the results announcement that there was no 0 points by far and then the semi results dropped… Kinda expected but no one is really deserved the null points. ^ Fuck TVR for whatever they did to this poor guy tho. love you Faroese king but go girl, give us nothing. Deserved to NQ asf. Also DK, it’s okay keep being delusional about your bland af DMGP and keep getting NQ sns oh well also expected. Greece did have better choice in their selection (Holy Water) but among the final three ones, they kinda chose the right choice ngl. However, it still had 0 chances to do good since day 1 so. Fuck the Greek delegation to totally ignore him after he immediately NQed tho. ROBBED AF but maybe if they included those dancers from the MV, it would elevate the performance? Despite Iru and the backdrop being totally slayages, the performance as a whole was so static. Also like Latvia, wtf does they have to send to finally get to the final? The song is a bop and she is a queen but unpopular opinion, this song didn’t need to have to be that much energetic. It kinda made me enjoy the song less than I should :/
Grand Final I’ve never been a fan of this song at all but god, they devoured the stage last night and deserved better. this was an underwhelming closer idc. The song is a huge bop and she was improving but in the end, it’s so go girl give us nothing until the last minute. There ain’t no way this was escaping bottom positions. Gutted for the creativity but his vocal is definitely why this did so badly. Thought he would get some decent supports from at least, the Balkan tho but hey it’s not Eurovision if everything is predictable so oof. she was so mothering last night. So glad she didn’t finish last as I expected. With such budgets from RTP, Qing is already a great achievement tbh. FAMILY RoTW, we are so right to embrace the family value and gave them points. Sidorela, you will always be famous ugh thought they would be higher ngl. REMO MY BOY YOU DID GREATLY HONEY I’m so getting tomato throwed at myself but idc, this deserved to Q and the public agreed with me too. It was not even a borderline Q so oopa can’t lie this kinda bopped. The performance tho why tf this got that much televoting scores lmao iconic ig kinda around where I expected. now this is the biggest WTF of the whole year. 5 freaking points from the public for this groundbreaking and tearjerking performance??? And if we, the tasteful RoTW weren’t allowed to vote this year, this would also get just 3 from Portugal??? What in the f*ck. See, this is why juries is essential, necessary and crucial. They should get reorganized definitely but to abolish the whole of them is totally not it. another robbery but despite me enjoying it so much, it is evident that the performance is way too static. She is still a mother tho. and now they want a 100% final when the song that was “widely appreciated” by the internet outside the fandom completely flopped in the televote and got saved solely thanks to the juries? I have to giggle. This was robbed af tho, televoting you are so dead meat for this. should have been much higher. The performance is so spectacular and polished. Unpopular opinion, she has the best break dance and it kinda elevated the song for me. Them getting surged in the televote is so expected but I expected it to be enough for the top 10 honestly. One of the biggest grower for me personally. oh he ate with those vocals, even tho the usage of backing track is also heavy as well asksks Greece gave this only 4 will always be a GAG btw. oh didn’t expect this to be this high but kinda get a vibe why it did. One of the most beautiful backdrops btw. THEY ATE. From being totally a diaster in pre-party to THIS. Happy they managed their vocals properly in the end. Definitely deserved. ugh I’m not a fan of song but this is really good, performance-wise. Thought they would flop in jury and surge in televote but it turned out to the opposite lmao. happy to see her qualifying as it is no secret that most of locals have some unknown hates towards ballad in Eurovision Duncan Laurence, you will never be famous PADRE I’m so happy for him honesty. oh thought they would flop more cuz he sounded really tired. Song wise, I enjoy this a lot tho so I’m alright with this being 6th. F*ck R-country for whatever they did to their exact hometown right before the show started tho. overrated. sorry. This was always in my top 10 until when the rehearsals started. The performance is so blue and empty and she is kinda underwhelming in both live show. I saw some parts of her final jury show and yes, she totally flopped in the jury voting sounded reasonable sns. another overrated. Tbh his performance is really nice and Marco was such a sweetheart but this is just another Italian sad male ballad. People (in terms of the public not the forum) tend to complain Sweden for their basic ass pop but still stand the tf out of Italian sad male ballads? A no from me. Overall placement is well deserved but in the details, this is overrated af by the jury. She didn’t sing some parts so why tf this got so much supports from them. I don’t understand. BANGER PERFORMANCE. It is not even a secret that this would devour the televoting and that was so deserved. He also did much better in jury voting than what I expected as well so WOW. Finland has now become the new powerhouse and they will absolutely snatch their second win within this decade, mark my words. Them being the only country to not award Sweden any televoting points despite Tattoo being the best charted song there (bar Cha Cha Cha ofc) is kinda a bittersweet for me tho. (Even tho it’s logically understandable) OH MIO PADRE. MADRE JUST MADE IT YASSSSS It is no surprise that she would landslide the jury but with that margin? Not really expected dddd Congratulations queen and Swedes for the 7th victory! Well deserved asf x Also unpopular (maybe) opinion but Tattoo > Euphoria :oo:. Not her getting none of any 12s in the televote tho. The voting system really needed to be revised after whatever results were this year lmao. Like I can’t tell if I hate jury or televoting more this year. They both made some points and were totally a diaster at some points so ouu.
Anyways last evening is tiring af and I still don’t recover from sudden Loreen hates so ngl. See you in Sweden (or co-hosting with Finland?) next year babe!

Reactions from last to first place: this was honestly one of the best performances of the night. I was sure this would end their bad results streak. they really said "let's go back sending random acts and generic songs". Deserved placing the song had a huge potential in the studio version but the live performance was not as impactful. Not surprised I was a fan of both entries but didn't see them higher than this expected results sadly this got forgotten throughout all of the performaces but still managed to get an ok result. Still robbed tho idk how some people expected this to win. Honestly unbothered my 2nd place 🥹, unfortunately someone had to open the show no surprises once again wouldn't have been surprised if this came in Top 5. But congratss hrvastka! cute but overrated. Also, there is only one Monika and it's not Linkytė yesss the girls did it!! My personal winner! I've always believed in this entry despite the shaky performances in the pre-parties. This is such a masterpiece and they eventually delivered a solid live. not a fan of this but it's great to see Australia doing so well by sending something different one of the most rewarding surprises of the night not between my favorities but wow impressive result best staging of the night. I see why it was appreciated well done Alessandra♥️ I've never been a fan of our entry and I'm still not. Marco is an amazing performer tho and one of the best voices this year so I can't say this was undeserved. We always bring quality and authenticity in the contest and that's a fact. I love how people started bullying Italian entries just because they always do so well. iconic. I've seen this doing a SloMo since the first listening this is the definition of Eurovision winner. It had all it takes to be considered so. Unfortunately it happened to participate in the wrong year. poweful voice powerful song but not the most original I must say. There are hundreds of songs that sound exactly to this. No need to say that if this was sung by a different artist and not performed by Sweden it wouldn't have won.

Honestly I would rather seen Latvia qualifying even if the song was bad. It received the most genuine points as Serbia got benefited by Croatia’s points

Also honestly this was a great edition with lots of great songs and the show was amazing as well. But it became underwhelming the moment when the results presentation happened. I hoped for a miracle but I lost my hopes the moment the margin kept getting bigger. Winning without a single 12 from the public should mean something but everyone will forget about this in a few days anyway so whatever. Also it’s really weird how some countries that smashed the televoting in the semi literally flopped in the final?? Wtf happened? Anyway except the winner, the rest of the results are somewhat acceptable, expected/deserved. I just find Australia, Croatia overrated while Albania, Portugal, Austria and Armenia deserved way better imo. Finland is the real winner for me and i am tired of the juries always pushing Sweden. Tattoo is a nice song but it wasn’t the best song of the final. I don’t think that if the song was performed by someone else it would been that high. Anyways, I don’t want to see another edition where M*ns will get involved, it already became annoying seeing him every year appearing randomly.
At least Bejba managed to get 3rd in the semi and top 10 in the televoting despite all the hate. Albania getting top 10 in the televoting was also one of the highlights of the evening.
