Who are on all these juries?

Clueless people who probably only voted because she won before.

Don't make the obvious joke. Don't make the obvious joke.

Song sounded far too similar to Euphoria to win.

Thought Germany were under appreciated by both the juries and the publics.

Would have been happier with a Finland win (or even better Norway)

Surprised our public vote gave 10 points to Lithuania. Very forgettable song.

Both were great, but Australia were a more "accessible" metal song if you get my meaning.

Sweden put up a great song but Finland's was just so much better.

ABBAvision 50 can get in the strawberry floating bin :dread:

The conspiracy theories that they wanted next years contest in Sweden to coincide with that anniversary is hilarious and believable.

I don't want to rag on her song or her as an individual, it was a very good song and it's not fair to disparage her obvious talent. I'm just really strawberry floated off that the absolute banger of a song I loved didn't win :lol:

The first time I heard Tattoo I got goosebumps, it really comes to life when you are listening on headphones. Thats said Finland should be very proud, that was a strawberry floating amazine entry. He may not have 'won', but like Sam Ryder....he will have. We'll see more of him for certain. I strawberry floating love both songs.

We've a long way since Running Scared won for Azerbaijan my god.

Okay, so my favourites were Poland, Lithuania, and that creepy Moldovan one with the flute playing bunny eared chap.

Despite our song actually being genuinely decent, the staging was poor, and Mae did not sound all that good live (maybe a few more backing singers were needed?), so yeah, i'm not surprised we were marked down for that.

First time watching Eurovision. It was alright actually. Even the bad songs still put on a good show.
Finland felt like the sort of song you'd play 24/7 if you wanted to torture someone.
Sweden I liked the staging more than the song but it was definitely one of the better ones overall.
I quite liked Australia, and Belgium surprised me.

I love Euphoria just as much as anyone else, but Loreen shouldn't have won last night. Finland were robbed!

Utter embarrassment for the UK. I can't say I was ever a big fan of the song anyway, but the problem was the unambitious staging, which brought the energy down after some brilliant performances leading up to it. It felt like there was something off about the sound mixing as well, although I'm not sure if that was just down to a weak vocal performance.

Looked like a great party. So many people were clearly so mashed up, thrust in front of a camera and not sure how to handle it :lol:

.

Overall enjoyable, although I couldn't shake the feeling I'd rather have been playing Zelda the whole time :shifty:

Tattoo is a great tune and a well deserved winner. Finland's perhaps more catchy. Thought Norway and Belgium were good as well.
UK's was terrible, the song is alright but once again the performance/sound was awful.

In the public voting, NO country gave 12 points to Sweden. 18 countries gave Finland 12 points.

The UK’s 9 public vote points came only from Ukraine and Malta.

Wow what a great show. Wish I could have been home this weekend to feel the buzzing atmoshphere. So proud of my home city Liverpool doing the UK proud!
Even the Eurovision boss has said it should be held in Liverpool every year now lol.

I quite liked Spain's entry...very different kind of song.
I didn't agree with Sweden winning found the song to be very boring. But I guess the winning performance of the night was YNWA. Very suiting for Ukraine.

Those jury voters really wanted the contest to be in Sweden next year for the 50th anniversary of ABBA's win.

I really don't think they give a gooseberry fool, they just liked the song.

Historically there is one way to win Eurovision, get votes from every single country. Its what Maneskin for Italy managed or Salvador Sobral for Portugal. It doesn't really matter if you don't pick up 12s if every single country picks you. Indeed the only country not to give Sweden a full house was Finland who gave them a 0 in the televote!

It was a pretty low scoring win really, shows how competitive it was.
