EUROVISION 2024 - REACTING TO THE GRAND FINAL TELEVOTE RESULTS (CONGRATS SWITZERLAND!) 

I'm devastated for Norway. They were my absolute fav and I though they would get more from both the jury and the public. Now excuse me I'll go watch Ulveham on repeat until I fall asleep in my chair.

Although I wanted Croatia to win I had the feeling Switzerland was going to win. I'm so happy for Portugal and Ukraine. I expected France and Ireland to do well.

12th Place for Germany 🇩🇪 This is like winning for us 🤩 Thank you Europe!

devastated for Croatia. was rooting for him since the song was released, and i knew he had winning potential.

Norway was shocking. So glad for Silvestras 🇱🇹. 10th in the Televote and 14th overall. And my country won.

Thank you all for supporting Croatia🇭🇷 this year. Baby Lasagna is our national hero and treasure and today is gonna be big program welcome program for him and his team on Zagreb. I admit, I cried last night because he lost the victory, it was so emotional. He united all Croatia yesterday, among other participants last years in the ESC absolutely nobody managed to do something like this. After all, we have to be fair and congratulate Switzerland🇨🇭. Ok, it was expected that 🇨🇭 will probably win the jury, but I really didn't expect that that big margine over all the others (France 🇫🇷 especially). And my other, "secondary" disappointment is Norway🇧🇻. How the hell did they come last? My personal favourites is we exclude my own country. Absolutely shameful.

I'm really sad Italy didn't get a single 12 points from the jury. So underrated.

I don't know when will my country (🇭🇷) have another chance at getting so close to victory. I'm gutted and very sad...

Great reaction! I too was rooting for Croatia to win, but 2nd is a great result and the win for Nemo is deserving as well. And I wholeheartedly agree about Norway, they deserved so much more. Thank you for another amazing coverage this season 💜

Super happy for Nemo ♥️ but really devastated for Baby Lasagna 💔

Baby Lasagna won our hearts 🫶🔥 he won televoting and Nemo was 5th.

Croatia - the viewers champion! Glad to see France do as well as they did, too.

Baby Lassgna is the winner of the televotes!!! That means he has withdrawed the people in the world! And that is the most important!❤❤❤

Ireland 6th :') thank you everyone! 🇮🇪♥️

I’m dreading what Norway’s close will encourage for entries in the following years. I would’ve loved to see more Gåte-esque songs

I had a calculator on the side to count backwards. When everyone from Luxembourg to Italy had under 200 (except Ukraine), there were still almost 800 pts in play and I knew Switzerland was gonna win. Super happy to see Ukraine defy running order gravity, Croatia win over the silent majority, and Switzerland win of course.

TV: “They need 183 points” One second later Rachel: “I can’t do the math” 😂😂

A fantastic finish to a tumultuous weekend, I’m glad to see it, a great final 2, both deserved it. Thank you for the video 🌸

As a German I could not believe my eyes! 😂❤

During the time Croatia and Switzerland had their entrants’ faces in split screen, I aged quitted immediately after counting the total televote score (counter began at 2204) and each time televote scores are announced, the number is decreased from my counter. After France’s score was announced, my counter showed 226 points left for Switzerland to win (183 was required). So my hope for Croatia was lost and I left the live feed.

Thanks for your support of Bambie Thug and Ireland this year. Hopefully we will be "authentic " after their participation and presence in representing Ireland 🇮🇪 this year 🤗

Sad for Croatia.This was their big chance as a small country.

I really am super satisfied with this result! I would have been happy for both Croatia and Switzerland to win, but I‘m very happy, Nemo made it🩷🇨🇭 And as a German this 12th place feels like a f*cking victory, I can‘t believe we actually scored so high, it’s amazing🔥

So thrilled you still did your reaction! I've never had my personal winner win before so I was thrilled for Nemo, and even still my heart hurt for Baby Lasagna.

I think every Eurovision fan’s booty simultaneously unclenched when Ukraine took the lead. Like, “whatever happens next year, at least we don’t have to deal with THAT.”

Fun fact : this year is the lowest ever year (since 2009) where the 100 point mark is with only 13 countries , the highest being 2011 with 24 out of 25 (with new voting system)

Hi from Croatia and thanks for rooting for our boy! Meow! :)

Who had it on their bingo card that Latvia was going to make the final and comfortably outscore the UK and Spain in the televote?

Thank you for all your support for our dear boy BL! We Croatians are so proud!❤❤❤

Thank you for supporting Croatia

Portugal ❤❤❤soo beautiful voice and performance too ❤❤❤soo emotion

I am heartbroken 💔😭

It’s not the best result but it’s not the worst result either!

Thanks for your videos this season- and what a bizarre season it has been! See you next year 🇪🇺

When I tell you my friends and I were screaming at the TV. Switzerland was the favorite of the group so we were so happy!!!

I am extremely happy. I did want a Croatian victory but the contest already ended when Ukraine overtook the first spot. The people have already won there, no matter who the final victor would have been. Nemo did deserve it all the same, they are a lovely person and they spoke up for peace.

Devastated for Norway - love that song and Gate is a new mainstay on my Spotify playlists. Sad for Croatia because Baby Lasagna was just fantastic. Thrilled for Switzerland because what a deserving win. Overall, I'm just relieved it turned out the way it did. I would've been fine with literally anyone besides a certain country with how the past week went.

I have a question. Was Ireland’s contribution a song or an act? To me it was a great act but only an interesting song… Anybody?

Well deserved Nemo! It was flawless, perfect voice, difficult song, with so many genres and they did great in any of them ( rap is my favorite part) and so energetic. Croatia, would have been for me also a great winner, I would have been very happy as well, and second place, I mean it is great! I think if the Netherlands would have sing, he would have taken so many points from the public, I for instance love europapa so much, it was my winner!

I was very impressed with France: song was good,singer amazing. Strange he didn't win. I liked Portugal, Switzerland, Armenia and Serbia too.

such a deserving winner. Juries rewarded the artistic masterpiece that was the Code and Nemo :) so happy for them.

Thank you for helping us through this difficult (and sad, I’d say) season, Rachel! You are wonderful!

Thanks Rachel for all your videos and analysis of the songs ! What a season ! Nemo was my winner this year from the day I heard his song for the first time. Baby Lasagna did great and managed to gather so many people with his punchy song. I have to say that Norway coming last was a shock. I'm sooo fond of their song. Until next year 😊

Well, Rachel is my favorite Eurovision fan. I love your reactions to the songs. Take care of yourself and I'll see you next year. Always in my Spanish heart 😊

I’m just glad one of the peaceful countries won

Thank you for everything this Eurovision season, Rachel. Wishing you all the absolute best, especially given how difficult it’s been for us Eurofans over the past few months. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪❤️

You are just like me when I watch Eurovision, I can't help but stand and talk to the tv and clap

Thank you, Rachel! As a Croat, I'm grateful for your support! You are my favourite commentator ❤ I've been a follower for years and I appreciate your fair, well-argued videos! Don't stop, please ❤

I never thought that i would ever see my country win Eurovision live on TV 🇨🇭

Thanks for a wonderful season. Got exact same vibes, Baby Lasagna was my winner, but I'm ok about Nemo winning. He was a vocal beast, 100% deserving. Love your reviews and reactions (even when you don't like San Marino ;) ); hope to see more of you on Lugano 2025. PD.: I see what you did with Israel televote. Respect. :x

France was the best last night so sad for his 4th place. But congratulation for the winner

Thank you Rachel for your coverage and your priceless reactions and statements this year! 👏👏 The world really needs more people like you. But this Contest doesn't deserve you unfortunately. Lots of love and peace ✌️

Thanks for your amazing reactions, coverage etc. Love your channel! Can't believe we won.

I didn't care about Eurovision this year since most of the songs seemed kinda mid and nothing stood out to me in particular, but i still decided to watch the finals with my sister. Switzerland was her favorite, and sure enough, after seeing that performance, i was like "Ok, now i hope THIS wins." I think people underestimate how insane that performance was. Nemo was rapping and singing falsetto while running around the stage without even breaking a sweat. I could not believe my eyes and ears. The song is also dynamic and exciting in a way that nothing else this year was (except for Ireland maybe). Very deserving winner imo. Croatia had a fun rock song, which is enough to make most eurofans go crazy, but it's not the second coming of Maneskin or anything.

i'm devastated for croatia, but im THRILLED for switzerland honestly!!! nemo absolutely 1000000% deserves this, like i'm sorry but if you're getting 365 points from the juries and not winning then there's something wrong honestly. nemo's quite literally got the best jury score of all damn time, got enough public support as well, and you're gonna try and knock them of their perch for that??

Thank you for doing the reaction after all!

Bambie hugging Nemo was a beautiful moment. I never got The Code, but clearly many did. - UK floptastic! Rachel fantastic! 👍

I love you make this kind of live-reaction video R!! I was missing my favourite Joost but I am happy for Nemo, Ukriene and Baby L. The big NO WAY for me was Norway - they derserve a better place.

Thx. So nice a personal LGBT song won in this turmoil. There is hope for ESC going forward, despite all the mistakes. When Ukraine won in 2022, that was politids, don't kid your selves. But this ugly year is now behind us. Peace (around).

Croatia❤❤❤

I'm Belgian and although we had the best song of this year, I agree the NQ was deserved. However, consider this list: 2006: Kate Ryan - Je t'adore: semi final 2008: Ishtar - O julissi: semi final 2018: Sennek - A matter of time: semi final 2019: Eliot - Wake up: semi final 2021: Hooverphonic - The wrong place: 19th 2022: Jérémie Makiese - Miss you: 19th 2024: Mustii - Before the party's over: semi final Some of these vocals and stagings were on point. The real problem is France never votes for us...

I feel exactly the same as you about Croatia. I know I should be just happy that we dodged the bullet... but still stings a little to see Baby Lasagna coming so close after winning the televote, just like with Finland last year.

This eurovision was devastating, honestly this is what treatment croatia gets every time not what croatia deserves ❤❤❤❤

I loved all of the songs.They were so good❤❤

voting closed before austria had a chance, france barley had time also p.s. Georgia was so underrated

I felt Bambie deserved more from the televote but pleased my winners Ukraine ranked high if only they weren’t on second and I’m shocked that we got nill points, I have big questions on the legitimacy of the scores but I won’t go there because it’s not worth fighting over

I'm happy that you found the right enthusiasm to make this video. It's true, the jury has once again decided the winner; I too would have slightly preferred a victory for Croatia. But this year was different, I think the jury's vote recharged all of us with hope and reawakened our love for Eurovision. The final split screen with Croatia vs Switzerland was everything I wanted to see, and I think what we all needed to see after they robbed us of poor Joost.

The Swiss Jury gave Croatia 8 points, Swiss public gave Croatia 10 points. The Croatian jury gave Switzerland 0 points, the Croatian public 1 point.

Congratulations to Nemo! Im pretty disappointed Ireland didnt win though. I loved the song and the performance. Alot of effort was put into it! Well done to Switzerland though. And congrats to the other 24 countries 👏

Is there a reason why you didn’t react to Israel? No hate ofc girl, just wondering :) I was just shocked by the televoting this year

I watched this from 9pm/21 to 1am/1

Switzerland winning makes me emotional and ending the 36-year drought. So freakin' happy for Nemo!

guys marko did us proud like never seen before!!! ❤ we also dont have really good artists nor music so its better this way. i had some hope but knew switzerland would win. also so happy for nemo and bambie ❤❤❤ new discovered artist

Croatia was cool and funny, but the bigger talent is Nemo. Jury just could NOT not see it. I'm very happy for Nemo

I wanna thank you for your coverage this year again. You seem as passionate as the most dedicated of eurovision fans and always 100% real and genuine with positive energy always. ❤️

marko is sucha down to earth humble person. he did us proud❤❤

The outcome of the result would have been different if they didn`t throw out The Nederlands, I think the jury would have been more equal, and croatia clearly won the televotes, Croatia will be my winner even though the Swiss took it this year!

IM SO PROUD AND HAPPY, SWITZERLAND 2025 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭

It’s a travesty that Paskana was not in this contest.

Thank you for amazing Eurovision coverage.

They just rushed through them so fast we and the artist themselves didn't really get time to digest the points.

I’m so happy for Switzerland, Ireland, Ukraine and France

Didn't follow all your reactions but, as a person with musical knowledge, it kinda surprises me you are disappointed that Seitzerland won, when it seems like a more interesting song musically than Croatia to me.

Thank you for supporting Croatia! It was fun to relive it with you and it alleviated the trauma from watching it live 😂🫶🏻

At the end of all that drama, I am quite happy with how it turned out, and I did have a good night. Some of these results were, as per in the contest SUPER wack; - NORWAY!! WHAT THE ACTUAL F- - -Rance did well on both televote and jury, indeed the big 5 were mostly not disgraced overall. 0 to the UK hurts, but I think the staging, while very professional, was a tad too risqué perhaps. - Croatia getting their best result since leaving Yugoslavia, Ireland getting their best this entire century, Switzerland winning after nearly 40 years... Loads of highlights, happy for so many of these countries. - KEEP THE JURIES. We all know what would have happened otherwise. Happy to watch your reaction, Rach, I know it was one you weren't sure was going to happen. Hugs and till next season (or next music vid) ❤️

Looking forward to your post-contest review! I think it was a good winner but I had a slight preference for Croatia too. My personal favorite was Ukraine. They largely overcame the running order but surprisingly didn’t convince juries as much this time. I had a worry one particular result could have come to pass, which didn’t. I don’t know if you’ll address it later, but I understand if you won’t. Thanks for sharing your reactions, I love your yearly ESC series!

This is a repeat of last year. The juries chose a country, showered it with lots and lots of 12 points and then the winner of the public vote finishes 2nd (and a very close 2nd, closer than last year)... I wonder if people are going to be as outraged as they were last year over this situation...My heart says no, unfortunately. I admit, I'm pretty bitter about Switzerland winning, seeing it was only 5th in the public vote...

If you told me in March that Germany would be on the left side of the scoreboard and Norway would be last, I would have asked for your passport to delulu land 😅

It has been a turbulent edition, but luckily the three shows were OK and a few songs/performances left a mark. Overall I'm quite satisfied with the results (especially for France), except for Serbia's ranking. Greetings from Italy. 😉

Feel ashamed for Norway. In some countries Gåte was so close to points (like 12th in Poland and Latvia), if I knew I'd send more SMS for them😢

At least they avoided a disaster.

Joost Klein real winner

Thank you Rachel for your reaction to the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 televote results. I was shocked when Olly received zero televote points; I didn't think he deserved that. Mind you, his dancers who were topless, but wore red shorts, might not have gone down too well with viewers in other countries. At least Olly had some love from the juries. My reaction to those televote results is available here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5hSKFK_V9Bs.html

I honestly think without that certain country starting with I, things would have been different. To me it feels like the jury really tried to boost Switzerland to avoid a potential catastrophic ending, while the televote almost gave us that ending. This clearly speaks in favour of keeping the juries for me. I wanted Baby Lasagna to win (I'm also happy with Nemo), but the risk of having that other country winning was extremely high and we can see that. Also, without that country, I'm pretty sure the Netherlands would still be in and that would also have changed the game quite a lot. Honestly we can't really make conclusions this year about what the jury or the televote prefers because the extremely heavy political situation disrupted it all. I really hope big changes are going to happen, replacing people in charge of ebu and excluding that country, otherwise it's all gonna sink and I'm losing all interest in watching something where an artist is excluded for no good reason and another can manipulate the televote, break the rules, harrass the other artists with no consequences and almost winning. Enough of this sh*t

I was feeling yesterday exactly like you, I was begging to see Croatia winning, I still believe he deserved the win more than Switzerland. Thething that shocked me the most though was Israel getting so much support from the voting audience, I mean they ended up secon in the televote. I had never seen this coming, and to be honest I still have difficulty to believe it...

Great number from Croatia but my favourite overall was Frnace

I am absolutely over the moon Switzerland won! But...what the heck happened with Norway?! I really don't understand!

Well, I got quite a few of THOSE wrong, but I always said this year was tricky to predict outside of the top five or so. Two years in a row I've got the winner wrong now. I think we all have to start ignoring the betting odds. I was right about a certain country beginning with "I" getting a huge televote, and I wonder what it says about the UK as a Eurovision-watching nation that the public gave them 12 points. Germany and Portugal were nowhere near my predicted finishing positions of last and last-but-one, and Norway woz robbed! I thought Finland might connect with the public a bit more, but whatever - they knew they were taking a risk with that song. Also LOL at the UK - we're upholding our fine tradition of being rubbish in the eyes of the public once again 🙂

After all song sink, I knew it will be Switzerland thanks to Jury,

I thought they said 90 for Georgia:(
