Eurovision 2018: Live reaction to Grand Final televoting result | wiwibloggs 

HaoSeeN HauS juries are out of touch with public

Because people voted with politics in mind.

Italy: Jury 17th Televote 3rd.

Umm did you see Australia? That was fucked up

Check voting from ESC 2016. Poland was 25th in Jury 3rd in televoting :D

Adriana Vizinha 😍😍

Adriana Vizinha 😂💗

Ryan Spears It’s so weird! I like the song but I didn’t expect that

Sabrina Jaine yes exactly! I listened to that song so many times but winner? No freaking way🤣

yeah it was crazy. all the time I was wondering "did I miss something"😂😂

Indrani Das Hahaha yea me too😄 I was like "What's is happening?, How? Aus? Umm? What?" throughout the whole show🤣

Same. Like it's nothing special for me, totally forgettable. It's not bad but it didn't deserve this. At all.

Italy: Jury 17th Televote 3rd. wtf.

I'm still mad af

Adli Afghani yeah was so disheartened when juries gave Italy practically nothing. televoters understood this masterpiece

Yeah... wtf is wrong with the juries and Italy? And why Austria?

Juries are a disgrace! Once again Italy got robbed by the jury. I'm getting so sick of this -.-

This year really showed how disconnected the jury is from the people. I really hope this is a wake up call and something gets changed, but probably not.

Maybe it's the new system that mostly yards jurors' top spots? I'm pretty sure, it wasn't at the bottom of the list for most of the jurors but rather not high enough on anyone's list to make the cut. I assume, the same thing goes for Ukraine

If anyone is interested, I posted a cover of You Let Me Walk Alone on my channel ❤️

lilbean reb He was My winner!!!:)

After three really bad positions in the last 3 years, you deserved it!

Germany finally broke the spell of ending on low positions. Congrats on that! Totally deserved.

It was beautiful!! I love the song since it was released and I'm so happy for the 4th place! ❤love from Spain

I am for sure. Thank God

Nutzername92a sweden deserved the victory more than isreal

Sweden had such an unoriginal and generic chart song.. how the f did they get so many points from the jury?? So glad the viewers put sweden on their place

Sebastian Witheridge Considering that there were 43 songs in the competition, 12th place for this generic pop song from Australia is veeery high - especially with those horrible vocals. Try to find a logical reason why Jessica got 6 times as many points as Ann Sophie, Jamie-Lee and Levina from Germany 2015-2017 COMBINED. They had equally generic pop songs and far superior vocals, but ended up so low in the score. Or look at countries like Switzerland or Macedonia who never even qualify. Jessica Mauboy and Isaiah were hella overrated by the juries.

Sweden's televote was deserved. They were horrendously overrated by the juries. I don't think Australia was overrated by juries, or underrated by televoters. Jessica's vocals were off, and televoters don't like the idea of Australia participating.

Italy, Albania and Cyprus all had Albanian singers.

Maria Uro perea im from Israel and i loved Albania. We won despite cyprus edge that they get support from greece because they are basically the same nationality.

kuku blof Cyprus every year,if they qualify to the finals,basically gets points just from Greece so don't speak bullshit!Cyprus deserved to win this year and that's why they got so close to winning...Israel on the other hand has already won 3 or 4 times(I'm not sure) so who is the one that is usually underrated??And let's not forget that many Cypriot entries were trully good!!Chicken song is funny and all and we can't deny that Netta is a good performer with a great voice and skills but the song was not winning material!

So you are basically agreeing with me, that you have 24 points guranteed no matter what..

kuku blof 12 just 12 and that's pretty much it!Plus I think last year or maybe the year before that(I actually haven't watched Eurovision since 2009) the 12 points from Greece didn't go to Cyprus and vice versa...Look it up if you feel the need to!Israel is always in such better fate than Cyprus...basically Cyprus only has Greece to support their entries and Greece only has Cyprus while other countries exchange 12 points like no tomorrow!!Eleni got all those points cause she deserved to and back in 2005 Helena got all those points cause she deserved to as well!I didn't see anyone complaining about other countries exchanging 12 points but your problem is Greece and Cyprus just 2 countries...oh!well talk about some hate here!!

I think his comments made some people who were not going to vote for Israel vote in protest for Israel.

I think after the final he went home to make music with that old man :D And he just said, okay, I don't care, Europe came back to this... after one year simple music

Absolutely and I looooooved it.

Be True 😂

agreed

not only 2018

2019: interesting

We are :)

Cait Xox I am extremely happy

It was my favourite

Yes, we are. Such a great result for the most heart-warming song 😍

I’m visiting Germany in a month(im from Estonia lol) and i can’t wait to talk about this years eurovision with them and praise their song!!!

Iiduli exactly. but juries are to blame

More sweden hate coming soon ! 🖕🇸🇪

they deserved top 5

They are 23rd by televoters. Points are low too (except Denmark - 7; Lithuania - 4).

Sweden’s always overrated and im just over it honestly

Italy 3rd 😍

A great S H O W

I was about to cry when the incident happened :(

Tennis & Music Surie was amazing. Loved how she carried on despite that twat interfering. Love from israel.

He helped her! She was better afterwards.

She slayed after the incident , her attitude changed so much. Sorry for the ranking though , i think she was better , even better than Austria honestly

It is shame what happened to her, even tho I'm from israel I still think she did a great job and she's an amazing singer, she had a great song and great voice imo.

Aaron Ward whats the position? don't worry this will remain in people's playlist..its beautiful

Indrani Das we got 16th tonight, and haven't qualified since 2013, we came last in the final in 2013 and 21st in 2012 and 8th in 2011 so I'm happy ireland did good tonight🇮🇪 I really hope it does because the song is so nice! I hope Ryan represents next year

Lovely song, and 16th isn't bad at all. :)

I love the Irish song it was beautiful. made me cry.

Definitely not a result to be ashamed about. We also came 6th in the semi which is a fantastic result, especially after so many people said we had no chance of qualifying.

you are yourself ridiculous🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm think it Austria deserved win jury half hold

Erin Zammitt Absolutely.

Nicoiyf piss off

Juries rate high the quality entries. Ukraine's lyrics didn't make any sense, Italy is an overrated fanwank and Bulgaria didn't stand out that much. Televote fucked up everything, Austria and Sweden was too underrated same with Albania.

@@beniesc1504 Apparently lyrics from Swedish song had a lot of sense for juries to put it in a top 3

@@xander6467 duh, lol I know

please this needs to happen

I agree 80% but without them Albania would have been low so 😂😂

They should be because they put Israel, Cyprus and SWEDEN way too high

Paul Martin The televoters did the same.

Not with Sweden. Sweden is very low by televoters - 23rd. Some countries didn't vote for Israel or gave almost no points for it but most of them gave modest amount of points :(. People probably mostly voted for it as a joke. Also all countries voted for Cyprus (except Cyprus obviously). Men voted for it because it is very sexy musical performance ]:D.

France was 8th in the jury voting, while the televotes had them 17th, so the juries did France a huge favor... Italy though, oof, year after year the juries ruin their chances...

Ha11d0r99 Yeah thats right...but even then sweden was overrated...especially italy got fcked :(

Don't forget Denmark and Ukraine

Sweden isn’t overrated

@@m.molina5735 Sweden is literally always overrated. Benjamin never deserved 2nd in jury vote.

Our jury (Germany) gave 12p to Sweden. Basically it was because we had a young wannabe Justin Bieber in our jury who found Sweden really cool...

Nutzername92a Name pls I wanna have a good laugh

Tiki Taka His name is Mike Singer.

ok now I see what you were talking about ^_^

Tiki Taka But I actually need to defend him now after I saw the detailed rankings. He actually ranked pretty good (except for Sweden on number 1). He was the only one in the German jury who appreciated Albania. And he put Norway on last place. Also reasonable rankings for everything else. Now I'm actually a little proud of Mike Singer. He was literally the best one in Germany's jury this year. We had an old woman in the jury who put Albania on the very last place and Australia on 2nd place... I don't want to be rude, but sometimes I'm really wondering if the judges' ears work properly.

I also don't want the jury, but Italy would have been such a bad winner. We cannot only look at the "message". If we only look at the message we might aswell turn Eurovision into poetry slam. It simply wasn't good enough and forgettable and people voted for it's message, which is WRONG. I swear no one would remember how the song went, only what the message was.

Defuq are you even talking about? Are you deaf? I can only think that you heard the song in livestream to make such a judging, but even then a song like Israel's, while it isnt bad if you listen on record, the live really sucked at it was unbearable...Or maybe even worse, in the end the are truly some people who just like catchy songs.

Mycenaea "i swear no one would remember....." speak for yourself not "everyone". I will forever remember this song and how the jury fucked its chance to be atleast top 3 if not the winner. the biggest crime of ESC18 for sure. I will rember MetaMoro too. thank goodness people didn't think like u and voted better

Frazs "Defuq are you even talking about? Are you deaf?" Well if I am , millions of people in Europe are too, Israel was original , I get it , it was something different, but honestly, we have to find another way to stop political voting , but still let people decide, because I dont trust Juries, they are people like you and me and I really dont get why they're taste should be more important than mine or yours.

Mycenaea You misunderstood, its not only about the message, its about the whole package, but from a Jury, i expect them to vote more quality and honestly cheesy love songs are so hard to be qualitative in my eyes , i think we have to find a way to stop political voting without the juries cause their taste has too much weight on who is going to win, and in my opinion popular songs, which people liked, WITHOUT political reasons, should be on top.

yeah juries were bad to denmark too

Italy in the same situation. It's just a disgrace to the judges. Remember Poland

Rexhep Kameraj it was enigmatic for me too.

Rexhep Kameraj I would swap Italy with it but juries are to blame. and Albania should have been higher if not for overrated Sweden

Indrani Das yes that's what I thought. Italy at least deserved top3. And yes, I'm mad about Sweden because juries are always behind them and they support them, but I was happy when they got just 23 points from televotes (if I'm not wrong). I'm happy for Albania, 11th place is not bad even though I was praying for a top 10

Rexhep Kameraj yeah was so happy that jury atleast voted well for Eugent. aghh just a little more would have made him top 10.😂 I am greedy but Love him too much 😍

I love how people can still blame the jury for a country’s result even if the jury saved it

Shar Nay Well, that's your opinion. Bulgaria definitely deserved much more...i'm so mad.

The problem with Bulgaria is that that song requires them to outclass the rest with their voices for it to work. They did not do that.

I think Bulgaria didn't deserve more maybe one or two places(sweden, moldova should not have been so high) but thats it. the performance was underwhelming like so many in the 2nd half and their staging didn't help which I knew it wouldn't.

If you were right they wouldn't have got The Marcel Bezençon awards for the best song and best camera work. Eurovision is still not ready for this kind of perfection.

Shar Nay I'm happy that you are still so overwhelmed by Bones , which says a lot in itself. I'm also happy for you, believing in a idealistic life where Everybody Gets What They Deserve. We just have a different taste level for music, man. With all due respect to Bulgaria 2017, for me, they has been building up its Eurovision entries for the past three years. I hope they will continue to do so, regardless of the outcome.

LMFAO : I am so glad for France. Cause the juries voted for Israel and not for Sweden !!

Anna Belly Wait what ? I didnt understand you right there sorry :0

Homemade Dynamite I think Nettas performance was authentic to what she does, so why not

I'm new to the Eurovision scene, but WTG televoters for putting the best song on higher ground.

I agree. The useless jury only want basic boring pop songs like Austria and Sweden. The public is more intelligent!

Shar Nay eleni true queen of Europe and of our hearts

He packed his bags and went home when Malta didn't qualify to the final :P

He's seated at the far end of the table with Robin and the rest of the team

exactly. so unfair

Nathan Constable very fragile vocals.

semi was random order..

kuku blof The scores are online, Norway was actually first in their semi final!

Jens Rrr yeah with the point combined he was first in semi, which is really good. It was so fun he returned and I hope he had a really good time

Javier Akinde me too. She had the package to become an international star. Europe would have been proud creating the next beyonce

I agree but still bookies were so close!

It was disappointing for Austria too.

Juries are biased and always rank Sweden high, I'm sure there's a big black hand controlling the jury results, especially when Sweden owns the music scene in Europe with so many swedes doing and producing music all over the continent.

Dalyssa Sali15 SO MUCH MORE! They were robbed. If they went in the second half they would have done much better. MÉLOVIN was my favourite ❣️
