Well, I did really think that was gonna happen, I thought it wouldn’t be able to get much, as the performance was not so exciting and the song was too weird. And I honestly despise that song. My ear just hear Eaeaeaeaeaea! And I barely get a headache. But, good job Spain 🇪🇸.
Yes. There were two big screens on which the audience could watch the whole show like at home. However, when a camera pointed at any of them, they were switched off in order to "hide" them. Check out my video of Loreen's winner performance to see how it worked.
I wasn’t in Liverpool but have been to the Eurovision final a couple of times. It’s just amazing. Of course it’s first and foremost a TV show but the atmosphere in the arena is just electric.
I was there for the first semi final and paid around £70 (I think that was a mid-tier ticket, some were £100+). I'd definitely recommend going if you can, I was lucky enough to only live a short drive away from Liverpool but I want to go next year. Been to too many gigs and festivals to remember but Eurovision was just something else, the atmosphere in the venue and around the city was amazing.
@@laszlopunaflex6625i live in holland a small 9 hour drive to malmo and kinda made the statment'if its in malmo ill go' how do you recomend getting tickets and how does it all work
And by the way next year in Sweden is to celebrate the 50 years of ABBA... With “Waterloo” in 1974. It was the 19th edition of the contest, hosted at the Brighton Dome in the UK...
Keep in mind: last time there was such a huge gap between first place and the runner up after jury votes, the first jury place got around the same amount of points from the public (both votes were around 370 points). Portugal was an undiscussed winner, and while it has its haters no one has ever doubted its value. This time, however...
This kinda overstates the gap in the jury votes (only about 100 compared to the near 170 that Sweden had this year) Portugal also got quite a bit more than Bulgaria in the televote (roughly 40 points more), so the similarity between the televote is a bit overstated as well. The main thing is that Portugal won both the jury and the televote. That's likely why it hasn't been challenged: both sides actually agreed. Meanwhile this year Loreen led with an insane margin (with only 13 more points she would have the same as second and third combined, who only differed by one point). Realistically Finland needed a miracle to win with a 190 point deficit, yet that never came. Therefore we got the first scenario since the voting system split where the televote didn't choose the winner, but the jury did. The only other time this happened was in 2015 when Mans won with 1st in jury, 3rd in televote.
Without juries eurovision will turn into a giant circus because audience almost exclusively votes for the craziest. Juries have to be there, but the way they work has to be adjusted.
Remember in the 2000s when there were ridiculous gimmicks and bloc voting? That's why they reintroduced the juries. Get rid of them for a year and you'll be begging for them back. They shouldn't get rid of something because whiny fans didn't get their way. Also, no one cheated.
@@Musickt196 False. There has never beeen any block voting. People vote for the song they like. That countries close to each other also vote for the each other, Is that they have the same traditions, and like the same kind of music. It’s ridiculous that people can’t decide themselves, and are over ruled by 200 people who have no more clue than anyone else. Do you want juries to vote and correct the top of the charts too?
@@smallblueangel I wouldn’t say it’s rigged. The juries just have a huge preference for the more mainstream music every year. It’s not surprising she won the juries.
It's weird how everyone in these comments is complaining about Sweden's win and saying that Finland is the "people's winner", when you can clearly see in the video that the arena fucking explodes in happiness when she wins at 11:39 lol
i also hear booing and certainly no one was chanting loreen randomly the entire show unlike chachacha anyways props to her pair her up with any other winner of the past decade she wouldve won over anyone so like we all knew months ahead
I mean she got 2nd most amount of Televotes right? So besides Käärijä, she was the next fan favourite to win...and ofc she is Eurovision legend so even if ppl were disappointed that Käärijä didnt win, many cant feel outraged about Loreen winning
