Juries need taste TBH. Spain last, Macedonia almost winning. Why to talk about Norway or the always overrated Sweden.
Tbh each year I'm more tired of this shit.

Portugal was the biggest flop of the year, not even the televote put it through. I don't understand why we have juries anymore, they were supposed to judge the quality of the songs and yet Portugal came last with only 8 points and Czech Republic won?? (yes, I am pissed) Praying that next year the overall show will be better cause this year was a disaster, from the stage to the production team.

Congratulations to the winner! Good winner, even though I preferred . The song has a beautiful meaning and I'm not surprised by the result. Also they just got their first victory since 1975! I'm so happy for them! Will Italy ever win? Since 2011, they got a bunch of top 10 results, three top 3 results, but never a first place… Anyway, really deserved second place. Better luck next time! Not a surprise… expected it second. Finally a final after 4 years and a top 5 result after centuries… Good job Switzerland. I LOVE YOU THANK YOU ALL FOR THE FIFTH PLACE! When they announced the impressive amount of points received in the televoting I was like: YESSSSS FINALLYYY Overrated as always… Thank God THIS shit really beautiful song PLACED 6TH AND NORWAY 5TH. Expected. Okay so when this song was 1st in the Jury voting I was like: 'Excuse me WTF? This song is not bad, but is not even so good.' Anyway, I'm happy for their 8th place and their return to the Grand Final Expected more, like a top 5 result. Great result for these Kings. Also, just one question: I know that you are against capitalism and stuff like that, but why and how dare you bring a Palestinian banner to the ESC greenroom? You know that you're gonna get booed because there everything is against Palestine. Also, Eurovision is not politics, it's just music. Let's try to forget politics. Politics just divide people and music is here to unite them. Expected. Got some 12 points but it was not a song for a top 5 result. A good result for this really cute song! Overrated… Really really really underrated. Amazing staging, beautiful meaning. Bilal is a real KING. Deserved more. Underrated. To not talk about the booing when gave to and viceversa. Expected place. Expected place. I was WORRIED for her, because she performed second. I knew the song would not have got a good result, so I'm happy she didn't end up 20th or 21st at least. Overrated… didn't even deserve the final I'm sorry… Honestly I expected a 25th or even a last place, but I'm happy they managed to get 20th and to improve their best result! Good job San Marino! Keep on participating and you'll get even better results over time! Serhat's English pronunciation has to improve though… Really underrated… I expected a lot more. I'm so surprised she ended up 21st. The televote killed her chances to get a higher place unfortunately. Okay the juries have some problems, because such a great song from Spain can't finish this low. Spain always sends good songs and each year is underrated. Same for . I was really surprised that neither this nor didn't finish last… Deserved place though. Germany, you are one of my favorite countries in ESC, but please, you must improve something. In my opinion, the song wasn't bad, but I knew that it was considered 'bad'. The shock came when I heard that Germany received 0 points. I mean, I expected at least 5-10 points from the televoting, like in 2017. Deserved… you had way better songs in your national final and you decided to send him… Also, did you notice that it's the sixth consecutive year a member of the Big 6 finishes last? SEMIFINALS RESULTS So closeee. Too high placements! No please, you can't place Portugal behind Georgia and Hungary… Expected. This 11th? Just 1 point behind the 10th? WTF? Super sad to see that Armenia and Romania both got their worst result ever. Moldova didn't surprise me though, as I expected it to place between the 12th and the 13th place. Wow Latvia, how did you manage to place so high? I love the song btw so I'm happy for your result. At least you didn't finish last in the semi as someone predicted. Expected. Sadly, after they revealed failed to qualify, expected.

Thoughts for me in finishing order: 1st: We all knew this was gonna happen deep down and boy did he deserve it. Well done to Duncan! 2nd: I may be alone in this but personally this was a bit overrated, good song but certainly not 2nd place 3rd: Yeah this was also overrated as hell, Sergey has an amazing voice but this shouldn't have finished as high as his 2016 song 4th: After all them years of NQs and poor results finally a good outcome for the Swiss, truly happy for them! 5th: We all slept on this a little too long but WOW KEiiNO served well tonight and Norway totally earned their Top 5 placing 6th: I like this one but it sure as hell is overrated, then again what else what this contest be without overperforming Swedish entries? 7th: Very nice radio friendly song with slight ethnic vibes, I'm not at all shocked it did well 8th: Surprise of the night, I barely expected this to even qualify let alone win the jury vote? Wow North Macedonia! 9th: This was underrated and it hurts that it didn't even get Top 5, the best Eurovision staging I've ever seen 10th: We were a bit underrated but I'll take a Top 10, worried we will get banned now though after that Palestine flag stunt they did 11th: Glad they got this high as I love this song so much but honestly 7 points from televote? Are you crazy? 12th: What a surprise but what a nice surprise at that, I love how cheerful and carefree this song is among all the serious ones 13th: I can't be the only one surprised this only got 13th, maybe their creepiness and rude conference comments put people off? 14th: Not surprised this didn't get any higher, not got much to say about it really 15th: I remember we all thought this could Top 10 easily - turns out it came below San Marino in SF1! Good song ruined by live vocals 16th: That running order really did kill it.... Michela deserved so much better than this honestly 17th: This one finished pretty much as I expected it to, its a beautiful song but doesn't stand out 18th: Another song just like Malta that got crucified by the running order, although I doubt it would have done much better anyway 19th: I can't believe this came 4th in SF1, so overrated.... If anything I think this position was a bit high 20th: YES SERHAT DID IT! 10TH IN THE TELEVOTE AS WELL! Congratulations San Marino, maybe we'll see you in final more often! 21st: What happened? This was meant to be Top 10 material but both juries and public seemed to forget about it 22nd: Yet again Spain is criminally underrated, this was such a fun dancable track and 22nd doesnt give it any justice 23rd: Not surprising at all, Kobi has a beautiful voice and the song was emotional but it was just... boring 24th: This was overrated. There, I said it - should have been 0 points from both jury and televote 25th: So this must have been that qualifier who snuck past Poland - I liked it but it was a bit repetitive and not shocked it finished low 26th: Now none of us expected this to do well but last place, really Europe? Thats just cruel

Also, just one question: I know that you are against capitalism and stuff like that, but why and how dare you bring a Palestinian banner to the ESC greenroom? You know that you're gonna get booed because there everything is against Palestine. Also, Eurovision is not politics, it's just music. Let's try to forget politics. Politics just divide people and music is here to unite them. We had been hearing about how great and wonderful Israel is all night. Everything from the intro to the postcards (which were admittedly amazing) to the intervals, especially the one featuring Gal Gadot, was pure Israeli propaganda. Eurovision is and has always been full of politics, despite how much people will claim it's not supposed to be political. On principle, I do agree that it should not be about politics, but the inclusion of politics in the contest is inevitable, from the songs to the voting, let alone the stunts some host countries like Israel will attempt to pull. Tonight was absolutely the right time and place to call out Israel, and both Madonna and Hatari did so respectfully, despite Israel's attempts at censoring them. The Israeli government definitely took Eurovision on as their own little propaganda project in order to make themselves look better on the international stage. And just as you say Eurovision shouldn't be political, it also shouldn't be one country's propaganda event. Of course it's a song contest. And no one is saying you shouldn't or couldn't enjoy it. But as you're enjoying the songs and anxiously waiting for the results you should not forget that the contest is being hosted in a country which constantly violates basic human rights, kills and displaces innocent civilians, illegally occupies land that never belonged to them, destroys historical and cultural heritage, and much, much more. It also goes without saying that this is obviously not the fault of the Israeli people, but of its government. But the government also controls KAN, the host broadcaster this year. For that reason, what Madonna and Hatari did tonight was completely justified.

I still love our icon Sarah even if she gave us our worst result ever in Eurovision honestly he has a great voice but the song just didn't do him any good. I think 16 points was a bit harsh though, there were worse. deserved, bye how did this escape last wtf Kobi is a great performer and has an amazing voice, but there was no way he was doing better than bottom 5. To think he would've gotten 0 if the Belarusian "jury" didn't save him never liked it tbh wow that's a shock, I thought this would easily top 10, a bit underrated the fact that this placed higher than Greece is offensive a filler, not much to say here underrated queen! but performing in 2nd didn't do her any favours another underrated one ugh ROBBERY I still love the song, but her vocals just weren't it, oop I enjoyed this but it wasn't going to do that well either delighted for them, nice to see such a song up high I do like this but 12th? overrated I don't really stan the song but our commentator mentioned they were some of the happiest participants this year, and well I couldn't agree more my winners, expected they would be dragged by the juries and do very well in the televote. underrated. although that thing at the end (expectedly) didn't go well for them oop- wtf y'all? 9th? ROBBED a very pleasant surprise. never would I ever imagine seeing the Macedonian flag at the top of the scoreboard, absolutely delighted for Tamara, she deserved it it's good.. but not THAT good the GAG of 2019. poor John, waiting that long while the hosts went on yapping about how Sweden needed 253 points to win and he only gets 93 in the end. However unlike most people I'm happy for this placement since I enjoyed the song and performance (especially the mamas!) it's good, quite good, but not a 5th place by any means lol ^ (although very happy for Switzerland getting their best placing since 2005) was always going to be overrated, undeserved I mean I love the song too but 2nd place is a bit too high for it yaaas, what an amazing (and predictable!) winner! I loved the song and loved his performance, I'm glad we're going to a more "stable" host country in 2020 and I'm going to look into the possibility of actually going this time. Congratulations to The Netherlands, well deserved. Gefeliciteerd! what an amazing year honestly, but so much drama.. oof. can't wait for 2020 y'all

FINAL
This year's results just prove how unpredictable Eurovision results are. Year after year. Besides the lovely organisation, the production they put on the shows that we've seen was AMAZING! Nice job, one of my favourite Eurovisions ever! SUCH A DESERVING WINNER! Congratulations. See you next year in NL, whoever's coming too never would I have expected this to come second with this performance but congrats HE CAME THIRD AGAIN LOL. Please give up, Lazarev, you won't win Eurovision. But dare to dream YASSSSSSSSS. I'm so happy for Luca and Switzerland!! Who would've thought last year that Switzerland would be coming 4th? I can't believe they won the televoting OMFG. Well done though really didn't expect them to finish top 5 at all lmfao NOT TOP 5?? Wow shook. Of course juries putting this first, not that I don't see why. Once again televoters messed this (rightfully) up Azerbaijan is back in the top 10 wow!! Well done I KNEW IT! I said it was going to be the "You Let Me Walk Alone" of this year. Didn't do aaaaaas good but hey, it almost won the jury voting! Surprised this is so low Australiaphobia jumped out, this deserved better tbh. Didn't do aaaas well in the televoting as I expected but they're still top 10, good job Iceland. (Imo what they did in the green room was totally uncalled for, though.) I knew they'd slaaaaay! 7 points from the televoting though But keep this up, Czechia! I did expect it to qualify but not to do THAT well. Congrats I guess This kind of got lost in the voting, but still ended up in 13th place?? Amazing France not being able to leave the mid-table. I lowkey feel like this deserved more but then again, I also don't really care. What a floppy results considering their expectations. Obviously this was not going to be Fuego 2.0 but she gave her best. I'm really surprised about the low televote result though. This would've been higher if it wasn't to perform first buuuuut it's a decent result considering Malta's recent success Personally underrated but I can live with it. She did a great performance, it was just a strong final Same as with Serbia. Plus she performed in the unlucky #2 spot, so well done. Yeah meh okay, I don't really care, next. LOL THE TROLL ACTUALLY MADE TOP 20. I CAN'T... THIS LANDED OVER... ... GREECE?? Lowkey a joke but okay.. who would've expected that?? Crazy, but nothing we can do. Next year maybe Ellada This country never gets justice... such a fun performance. Decent televote result but even there I expected more. Last with juries? Israel getting 12 from a random generated Belarusian jury. Interesting NOT LAST? WHAT? I mean those 0 from the televote were lowkey predictable, hilarious and deserved. Thanks to all the juries who voted for us but cmon... what did you smoke? Underrated But then again, not so memorable either and someone had to be bottom LOL RIP. Never expected this at all wow. I feel sorry, he didn't deserve last. I'm wondering how well he would have done, if he sung "Too Late for Love" and John "Bigger Than Us" Once again, amazing show! Amazing opening, amazing postcards, more or less amazing hosts (Assi & Bar ), amazing intervals, amazing results. I loved Madonna but she lowkey flopped like what the fuck was that? I lowkey prefered the epic Eurovision all-stars interval
SEMI-FINAL 1
Not surprised this won but... why only 9th in the final?? I knew this was 100% qualifying and I predicted it top 5 in the SF but not SECOND wow!! YESSSSSS. I thought they'd rather finish midtable-ish but I'm glad they came third. so high wow, well okaaaaaaaaay And people thought this could win the semi-final... ouch. Decent Decent [2] THEIR BEST SF RESULT EVER I'M QUAKING. SERHAT DID BETTER THAN THIS L M A O PINCH ME oof so close. thank god wouldn't have minded to see this qualify though oops eeeeh expected fine LOL WHAT. WHAAAAAAT? I knew it was going to fail to qualify but THIRD TO LAST?? NOT LAST? ugh lol darude rip, try better next time
SEMI-FINAL 2
no surprise lmao WHILE THIS IS INDEED SURPRISING WOW. THIS DID BETTER THAN... ... SWEDEN?? Where did North Macedonia suddenly come from? But wow yassss! Glad he did better than Sweden in the final Well done. 6th LOL. can't believe he did so well in the final then but well done. SAME FOR THIS LOL. What are these results wtf. NVSC is calling Malta the margin, so good to say it was safe so close, but glad it made it oof, didn't think this was the country to be 10th while I also didn't think was the country to be 11th WOW. Imagine this would've qualified, the riot omg overrated but okay, performance helped SO LOW WHY... eh alright I REFUSE TO BELIEVE. What happened to Armenia?? so few points too, ouch. HUGE OUCH. lowkey underrated
What a weird but amazing Eurovision apart from all the politics and organisation issues. But I can't wait to go to the Netherlands next year and hopefully experience a problem-free Eurovision Song Contest. Even if I shouldn't be able to get tickets for the shows, I'll definitely be coming to experience it among Eurofans We can make more forum meetings happen y'all
