Eurovision 2018 • General Discussion

I think everyone in the UK should be really proud of SuRie. She is an amazing singer REGARDLESS of that stage invader with his uncontrollable ego ruining her performance, and tonight she showed her courage and professionalism as well. She is, by far, the best person we have ever sent and even though we came close to last, she is the real winner of this contest.

Really deserved more, especially after performing BRILLIANTLY

This plopping in the TV was honestly a highlight

Honestly didn't see this coming but it deserved a really nice result. Glad the juries saw something in this

Always knew this wouldn't even come close to winning

And of course, . Don't like the song necessarily, but the performance was brilliant and an improvement from the semi. Of course every performance has things to work on, but I really enjoyed this and it was just a breath of fresh air. Actually really annoyed that some people found nothing good in this, I mean, if I can see something good in a song that I dislike, then god help everyone else </3

PLUMMETING FROM 1ST IN THE SEMI WHEW

Last in the semi?? Shame on you Europe

11TH IN THE SEMI I AM SO HURT </3

I am happy and sad at the same time. It was a great show, except the arrogant speeches of Salvador about good music again. I was rooting for Cyprus to win all the time, and I am lowkey disappointed they didn’t, because that would be iconic, BUT Israel has grown on me so much that I actually enjoy it, and I don’t t mind it winning at all, especially that it surely made Salvador triggered. I needed to leave so I watched the second half of the show live from my phone while walking on the street and I couldn’t abstain from reacting to every iconic moment lmao. Glad nobody noticed me. Now about the results:

Aww this has grown on me so much, and it’s sad to see it last. Portugal deserved to be last in 2017, Not now.
Saara coming 2nd (to last) again. It was kinda expected for me idk why, not really surprised but underrated.
omg poor SuRie. I almost cried in the moment when I saw her performance being ruined. So happy she didn’t end up last. I still respect her for not getting lost after what happened.
well meh it was lowkey expected and kinda deserved too. The running order draw definitely didn’t help.
I think the pause wasn’t really needed this time. In the semi-final it was an unexpected moment which lost its magic in the final. And some people in arena still thought the “technical problem” was real??? Decent position I migh say.
I expected this to be way higher, but I think the position is deserved, this is where I would place it too. But this being borderline qualifier made me shook, and Romania was 11th just few points away
what the actual f??? I liked her final performance more than the semifinal and it deserved top 10, but the fact that Isaiah scored higher than her makes me sad. It was my 5th. Jessica is such a great person
still indifferent about it but I think it’s a deserved place.
I admit I always hated it but the performance was good, and made me hate it less. deserved place.
last in the juries? Okay I didn’t see that coming but I got bored of this song tbh.
wow another unexpected result for this. Decent place.
here is the most overrated trash of this edition. Honestly this deserved last in the semi.
congratulations for a great result, although I wished it was higher. My 4th place tonight.
woah I thought this was a sure top 5 song especially after it was the first to get a 12. But it’s still a good place.
this time I cried for real during her performance and I am glad she did so good but she deserved to get a better place. It was my 3rd tonight.
I didn’t see that coming either, but I am ok with that. I like the song and I am glad they qualified.

omg we got another great result thank you to everyone who made this happen. Those 12 points from Russia were more for Kirkorov i am pretty sure I love the performance but I still don’t like the song. But I am proud of them :’)
the place which he got at the juries was deserved. Too overrated in the televoting.
I never liked opera but I can understand why this was voted, she has a great voice. Decent place, even if it’s a bit overrated for me.
another overrated trash. What happened with the juries? I screamed when the televoting results were announced.
here comes my 2nd favorite from tonight he risked and managed to do the flip. So proud of him getting top 10, and for Czechia too! Keep it that way! Mikolas is a sweetie.
why was this put last in the draw? Lmao that’s not a song for the ending but still. Never liked this but good message. Congratulations tho!
I was always indifferent about this, but I am very happy for them getting that high after their (undeserved) failures in the last years.
now this is the biggest shock. I mean how? I thought this was a borderline qualifier. It’s a good song but the performance was meh and I find it overrated. But congratulations for such a great result!

Queen ❤️❤️ I just can’t believe it. So close, yet so far! I would have preferred if this won of course but she is now a legend, and I have never been so happy that my favorite is that high! Everything about this performance was perfect and I keep on replaying it a lot of times. Eleni is also such a nice girl, I wish she will return someday and win for Cyprus! She’s my winner.

At the very beginning I hated it with passion, and until the semifinal I was really indifferent about it. But it grew on me immediately after the semi and I kept on playing it a lot of times. Yes I was a bit sad that my favorite didn’t win, considering the fact that Cyprus is still the longest participating country that never won, but I am really happy with her winning, too. And my friends with who I talked tonight after the show liked the song and predicted it to win

Tbh the way how the top 2 was announced was too messy.. They should have showed the scoreboard and the scores while announcing the 2nd place, and then the score of the first place, just how they did in 2016.

Okay that was all. It was a really tense voting and a lot of unexpected things happened. But at least the top 2 is perfect and that’s all that matters. See you next year!

Tonight was a tense night for me ngl. with Cyprus and Israel still to receive their televoting points, was it really nerve racking. That meant my 2nd place, aka and my 4th place, aka , we’re fighting against each other. I had tears in my eyes when Elena didn’t win, because I was rooting for her. But after 1 minute I realized that Israel is also a great winner.
my review of this night:
, tbh this song was nice. Melovin’s staging was totally amazing, but am I the only one who still doesn’t understand even one word of his English?
. It’s so cute. But Alfred’s voice is like a cat, sorry not sorry. + the running killed them, just like they killed ALL the others who performed 2nd in the Grand Final!
, I’m happy Slovenia made it through, because it was so unexpected tbh, but they still got 9th in both jury and televoting in semi final 2. Lea slayed her performance all over the place, and Slovenia should be proud!
, one of th biggest surprises me of the contest. She was so cute and emotional. I had tears in my eyes, because I felt what she was singing about. And she got my vote in the Grand Final!
, well I don’t think 3rd was a deserved place. And the juries overrated this like hell. But the staging and overall performance was great tbh
, AMAZING! The projection on her dress was stunning. And her vocal captivity is endless! I think 8th was a bit underrated, because it got my vote
, the cringe factor is on! I couldn’t stand this. It annoys me so much. The staging was good tho, but with a good staging you can’t lift a bad song.
, I personally don’t find it bad, but forgettable. They did a good job with a good staging, but it wasn’t enough 
, first of all I got a lot of respect for SuRie after what happend. But still she a great job. I think the main problem it has that it was forgettable
, I don’t know how it made it through the final, but it was undeserved as hell. This isn’t particularly bad, but so bland. Especially when you realize we left Malta in the semi for this.
, YES YES YES FINALLY GERMANY. I’m happy that Michael showed Germany that they still can do well. And it was deserved. I believed every single word Michael said. 
, his voice is great, but the song is just a meh. Azerbaijan or Greece would have been a better qualifier. 
, great performance and an amazing song. I got goosebumps and I love it
, this was SO much fun! He killed the performance with his staging. And the televoting loved it. I hope Czech Republic finally see that they can do well with a good song.
, I personally HATE this song. It’s just so bland and horrible. I can’t stand this.
, Great song and a great performance. Jessica’s vocals were far from stable, but she did a great job. And the last place in the televoting was undeserved. But maybe it’s a sign that it’s time for Australia to leave Eurovision
, I’m happy for Saara that she brought Finland a qualification. And I already expected a bad place for her tbh. Her performance was just TOO much
, one of my personal favourites. The song is amazing, but the staging and vocals were a little letdown. I hope they send Tita or Gery-Nikol next year, my vote
, I already loved this song before the show, and the staging lifted it to a higher level. Keep the good work Moldova!
, The performance was good tbh, but Benjamin really needed his backing vocals. Anyway, am I the only one who couldn’t stop laughing when I saw Sweden flopping in the televoting? HHAHAHA
, when I watched the second semi final with my grandmother, she turned the tv off when she heard this and said:”We’ll wait 3 minutes if you don’t mind”. Says already enough Imo
, YES HONEY. I was a bit salty when this won, but it’s actually so deserved! The message behind this song is touching, but some people can’t hear that unfortunately. The staging was great tbh, but Netta could have worked on her vocals tbh. And I think his could be a hit in Europe. Lots of people like it, and it was already viral before the show. Even my mother asked me to play “toy” this morning.
. My own country . I’m happy we made it, and whatever happened in the Grand Final I would be proud. I don’t think the song is bad, it’s just okay. And the running order helped us. 
, I found it bad before the show, but when I saw the live performance I think it’s kind of good. And deserved qualification!
, do I even have to say something? First of all “Fuego” is just amazing! The song could be played in all the radio stations in Europe and become a hit. Secondly she killed her performance! The staging was amazing. The dancers, the fire, her vocals LOVE IT! Then I want to admit how amazing it will be if Cyprus won, because I prefer countries to win, which never won Eurovision. But anyway, I also want to say look at Eleni, she’s just so hot and attractive I CANT. I would marry her tbh. She seems so funny lol, yeah yeah FIREEE. my votes 
, I can see why people love this. But for me it’s just okay. I liked their performances, but that’s it. 

Special mention to:
, WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU EUROPE?!!!! MY WINNER GOT STUCK IN THE SEMI FINAL AGAIN? I mean this is the third time in a row, that I can’t support my winner in the Grand Final. Anyway Christabelle deserved a qualification. “Taboo” has an amazing message, where I can really rely on. But as many people say a good message doesn’t make a song better. But in this case the song is AMAZING. I LOVE IT FROM THE VERY FIRST SECOND UNTILL THE LAST SECOND. TELEVOTING DESTROYED THEM, WHILE I VOTED TIMES FOR IT. SHAME ON EUROPE 


Can’t wait for Kazakhstan and Liechtenstein  to debut in 2019!
