Grand Final recap | Eurovision 2023 |  

*many

It was an amazing year. Loved it so much, even introduced many friends to it and they all loved it.

Your forgetting about Croatia

I'm gonna miss Eurovision for 1 more year 😢

Amazing entries? If you like and apprepciate crappy entertainment, sure. This short recap was beyond horrendous and painful to watch, from start to end. Like it has been for the past 20 years.

Denmark

@@francedajao8231 …. were not in the final 😬

@@katiekat470 u said entries not entries that went to go to the finals

Ok wait i just read it thoroughly, im so sorry hahaha i just skimmed it 😭😭😭

@@francedajao8231 “there really weren’t any bad entries in the 2023 final” 🤨

Its just 10% German 2023 60% Finland 2006 and 30% Italy 2021

4th place in 2018

​@@Asidders first place in 2010

They might need to send Lena again

​@@EmilieuxLena wird ganz sicher nicht mehr bei diesem Circus mitmachen. Sie hat Jahre gebraucht um aus dieser Misere heraus zu kommen und als Künstlerin anerkannt zu werden, die mehr als ein Lied singt. ESC ist scheiße.

Wasn't that good

And our songs visuals looked crap compared to the amount of work on the others.

Vocals weren’t there

@@jdefifathey mean the whole show not the uk entry 🙄

They had her backing vocals to loud and overpowered her vocal probably on purpose due to her comments against uk. Lol

Wait really?

​@@paca2058I certainly did

Why? Only cause of the rainbows?

@@WWessell the song man its vibes to listen to

​@@Benjamin-Riblandand the performance was fun too

@@WWessell Because it was the best song of the night.

Jury rate vocals and song at all.Finland: Cha cha cha ha ha ha SUPERSONG

our family was hoping your country would win. you should have seen the disappointment in our eyes when sweden won

Finland, Croatia and Israel 👍

finlands song was more of a performative song so it makes sense why the jury liked loreens song more but that doesn't mean you shouldn't disregard her win

@@maybe4283 Exactly 💯. The jury choose the better singer. The audience choose for a catchy performance.

I saw Mother Earth in Laureen song

​@@myself8843 , но Лорен в финале очень плохо спела

YEP

Yes, Sweden is WAY too overrated!

I disagree. I thought Loreen and Alika's performances were well observed by the juries. I loved Kaarija but the vocals were not at that level. I think it counts. The question is how much should it count. That's up for debate.

Just because I do love a good conspiracy theory, I'll leave you with this thought!! Personally, I absolutely love Australians, that's actually something you won't here many Brits say, but I love them dearly, I love their humour, sporting genius and outlook on life!! In spite of the fact that they're not situated in the continent of Europe, It's great to see Australia in Eurovision, I think they've contributed some great songs in the time they've been involved!! I agree with you, their song last night's was well cool for sure and should've faired a lot better than it did!! However, the powers that be will NEVER allow Australia to win the competition, not even if they dug up Elvis Presley, John Lennon, David Bowie, Jim Morrison, Kurt Cobain, Prince, Freddie Mercury, Whitney Houston, Michael Hutchence, Dame Edna Everage, Shane Warne and Skippy The Bush Kangaroo, formed a band with them and came up with the greatest song ever written!! Why?? Well because if they won, the following year the competition would begin around 5am European time and that would just never wash with a lot of people!! Wouldn't bother me, I'd still watch it, but too many people would be peed off!! What do you reckon??

@@andremcpherson1424 eurovision said that if australia ever one (unlikely) they would have to nominate a host country

Oh, right, I didn't know that, I hadn't heard, seems a bit unfair really doesn't it!! I mean part of the prestige of winning is that the victorious country gets to host the contest the following year!! Can't say I'm surprised though, I find the whole voting thing a bit dodgy to be honest!! So much so that every year I just enjoy the show, support the songs I like, admire the beautiful women (WOW!!) and try not to think about the logistics of it all, that works for me!! Peace!!

Really? Interesting. It was it the absolute worst song in the final for me. A boring pop song that tries to disguise itself as rock. But we all have different tastes :)

@@andremcpherson1424 you know that if Australia wins, the next contest won’t be held in Australia right? I admire ur story but they’ve already thought about that my friend 😅

Tattoo

Which Aussies, the upsidedownies or the Lederhosies?

@@Widdekuu91 aussies often means Australians

@@driesbaelen2221 Okay. :)

If you listen to the vocals, the song of Finland was nowhere near the quality of Sweden. It was just a catchy performance which the audience seemed to like. The jury did their job, Sweden had a way better singer, Finalen was the better performer on stage. The best singer luckily won.

@@AshwinRamdin I agree that Käärijä's vocals weren't brilliant. I just loved the performance and the instrumentals. Though Sweden's was good, it was nothing spectacular to me. I thought Cyprus, France and Israel's songs were better.

Everything went really good until the imbecile jury points came in

Honestly agreed, i like Sweden but this is getting ridiculous. I do hope the audience votes shake things up a bit

@@anonymous-zs9rn Almost... Almost.

​@@banananYEAHbruh i really thought finland would win 😔

​@@anonymous-zs9rn In glad that the jury vote made the difference. The audience vote for flamboyant performance, not the singing quality. The singing of Sweden was better.

Exactly!!! Eurovision is not what it used to be... haven't watched in years

Yes...

True, and worldwide audience voted Croatia to nr. 7

No. Televoting show us that professionals know better. They judges the singers quality, not the performance. Sweden was the way better singer.

Yes, the juries are looking for a song that is well composed and the singer has a good voice. Televoting is more about performance and entertainment.

No because televoters also thought Verka Serducka deserved to get second place despite not having any quality. Cha Cha Cha will join it in being played at every ESC as the annoying party song

Kinda must agree with You about the voting.

soon as we were half way with the Jury... I already knew what was going to happen

I wish we could forget about the voting and just have such a fun contest where everyone wins LOL

Cope

Yes, they were my number 5 in the top 5. I was honestly shocked, same with Austria bytheway. Austria was my number 2.

you can have Mae, finished one place above you - LOL !

tbf Austria got less points from the public than the jury tho

The prople loved Finalnd

​@@vulturesmusic1617 they went first :/

Finland wasn't robbed... it came second...

me too!

Она слишком сложная для такого конкурса

Tank you from Spain 🇪🇦❤️🇬🇧

Same

You have right, public votes shows reality

WHEN HAS IT EVER BEEN ABOUT THE PEOPLE? 😂

@@bakica_vangica Oh, oh, I know, that moment when the entire audience voted for Jann and they- oh wait....no, that was the opposite. .... ... ... ...AT DAWN WE RISE! LET'S TAKE OVER THE JURYBOOTHS AND STAY THERE UNTIL NEXT YEAR. WE WILL DECIDE FROM NOW ON!

In their eyes Finland didn't need to win. They have already joined NATO just recently.

Public vote is pathetic this year

Wow I am also turning 18 in august

ŠČ ❤️❤️👍👍

So unfair... Mimicat deserved much more❤❤

Agreed

SOARELE ȘI LUNA WOOHOO 🇷🇴❤️🇲🇩 🌞🌚

Moldova was so good 🌙 🌞

And we will return in 2000-2008 when the contest was boring

They will try to hack app. Maybe better if we pay for vote on app

​@@eryvneNo, you 're wrong

@@eryvne Because you're talking about the 2016 contest. In 2015 Slovenia opened the show.

@@sergi_esc oh yeah mb mb

Same here except for Belgium and Czechia. Substituting Sweden and Lithuania.

keep juries in eurovision*

and why we need juries

Yes nearly every jury gave sweden top mark. But no country on public vote gave sweden top mark

Agree, its only because we bank roll this show with Germany , France , Italy and Spain, its tax payers money for this drivel.

Not going too happen given they are the top funder for eurovision along with the other 4 that automatically qualify

@@janeslater8004 understand the comment, true - double standards equals no respect!

We came 2nd last year and would have won if it wasn’t gifted to Ukraine. This year we had a good song, it was a little generic arguably, but in fairness I cringed with that live performance. It did not sound good. We need powerful singers who can sign live like Sam Ryder.

​@@ch-p2861 agree, a, disgrace. First and formoste we need singers who can actually sing.

well she is off to Germany, may welcome her with open arms as they finished last !

@@ch-p2861 I don't know if she was nervous, but it was a crap voice......I could have sang better. I also thought the background visuals were crap.......there was just no passion. We've got some amazing talent in UK and it just embarrassing now........I mean UK should be top dogs in this comp every year with our history in music.

@@feelthelove8890 not just that, but decent songs......ok Sweden has produced ABBA, but the UK pisses over any other country in Europe when it comes to music

Germany deserved 0 points on this 1 tbh

@@Dancingsingingstars UK deserved zero points not Germany ahhaha

@@softeis1192 nah girl I love Germany but this was definitely not it. Looked creepy and satanic.

It was a sad attempt to reach the people who voted for Maneskin two years ago. But Lord of the Lost was not authentic enough I think. However, we had fewer points for better songs in the last years.

@@Dancingsingingstars Satan rules
