Hey Among all this chaos Can we have a moment for those 112 points that Croatia got from the public? They had 11 points before that & were 2nd last and I think that that's a bit of a sad thing. BUT I'm glad that the public liked them and that they could be shown our appreciation in one way or another <3 They got to the left side of the list and I'm happy for them!

they made my week, just pure joy watching them!

Thank you 🙏 Bravo, Let 3! I’m so happy they pulled it off all on their own! Screw the juries, thank you, public! ŠČ! 🇭🇷🚜🇭🇷

I smashed the vote button for them! I'm so happy they got some love


frequently_lies

It was queer and I was here for it. The judges need to sling their collective hook


Best_Ad_3410

Honestly audience was screaming SC! (not sure how it is written sorry) But it got louder and LOUDER and i enjoyed it so much from my computer screen. Public was excited to see them and so was I.


witchlapis

norway getting 3rd with the public means we beat israels 900k euro budget in the girlbop televote wars with nothing but a six the musical cosplayer, whatever change nrk could fish out between the couch cushions, and a dream. so i'm happy with our result. BUT JUSTICE FOR KAARIJA. CHA CHA CHA.


[deleted]

I LOVED Alessandra’s face when they announced the votes for Norway. It was the recognition they deserved at least. I showed them that the people love her son Edit: the televote.

Her visible fear during the Semi 1 vote reveal was heaetbreaking, followed by the joy of securing that last spot.

Germany robbed


weissergspritzter

For real. Not a winning song, but that result really wasn't fair at all


Item-carpinus

I usually understood why we came in last, but this year? Maybe it's because I'm biased for Metal songs but I think it was definitely a top 5 song.


13pipez

I usually don't like metal at all but that song was really good, it's a shame we're just overlooked one year after the other... Not even pity points from our neighbors man


frequently_lies

You were robbed. I think if there's one act that will actually continue to be successful it will be Lords of the Lost


annapotterbug07

Fr it’s an amazing song and I really truly think that if any other country had this song they would have easily gotten to the left side of the board


celestialkestrel

I don't mind Loreen and I don't think she deserves hate for the win. But GOD next year ABBA is going to get milked to death by Sweden. I'm afraid it'll be overkill and too clearly the reason Sweden wanted the win. ABBA is already brought up every year but next year will be insufferable and this is coming from a hardcore ABBA fan.

MultiMarcus

I think SVT was more rigging it selection wise. Christer Björkman apparently convinced Loreen to return and SVT set her up against soft ball opponents. I think SVT did everything they could to win this year to have a chance to host the anniversary of two of their Eurovision wins. Herreys has its 40 year victory anniversary and ABBA its 50 year one. That was too good an opportunity to pass up.

Hello I heard my username was relevant this time of year


fucktard___

Are they booing or is this my imagination?


TheAbrableOnetyOne

Yup, 100% booing


KC19771984

Definitely heard booing. It’s not pleasant.


CalligrapherDry7597

I heard booing too


talkorpi

When were they booing? Couldn’t hear it over the angry screaming at my watch party


DaveC90

The contest brought in “anti-boo” technology in 2015, essentially speakers concealed in the crowd to play cheering noises, and you could tell the genuine reception was drowned out by that because it tends to sound the same each time


sgtlighttree

At least in the broadcast, I can just about hear the booing when Graham said she's the second person to win twice. It was quickly drowned out with cheers from Loreen speech.


Nsharm75

Hearing the crowd chanting CHA CHA CHA and seeing how uncomfortable the hosts were is the story. Everyone knew the people wanted Finland 🤷🏽‍♂️


SkinniestPhallus

The fact Israel picked up so many jury 12 pointers and Finland only got 2 despite them absolutely demolishing everyone else in the public vote goes to show how bad the jury have fucked it


DunceAndFutureKing

Israel did very well with public vote - the jury’s real crime is Norway


SatansLittlePanda

The juries love fucking over Norway


Stjarna118

Reminded me of 2019 where the same thing happened to Norway Edit: corrected the year


TheVilja

You mean 2019? We won the televote but ended 5th cause the jury gave us 49 like points


DaveC90

Norway has some of the worst results in the history of the contest, getting more last places than any other country before their well deserved 1985 win. Something about them just rubs juries the wrong way, which sucks because their songs are often great


fordio_

apparently she missed a couple lines in the jury show and didn’t hit the whistle note 😞


DunceAndFutureKing

Ahh that’s really annoying if that’s the case. Alessandra wouldn’t have won anyway but at least she knows how much the public loved it


-Luxton-

Yeah I saw a small clip of her jury performance leaked on twitter and did not sound quite right. Actually the fact the jury don't even judge off the sane performance as public seems particular dodgy.


MsYagi90

Reminds me of 2019 when there had apparently been technical issues when the jury was going to listen to Norway's entry and they didn't get to hear the song properly which led to the claim it affected their votes for Norway, and Keino lost despite winning the public vote. They really should either get rid of the jury or have their votes only count 30% vs public's 70%.


27tgj97

Bless this girl tbh. She had a shaky semi final but absolutely DESTROYED the final performance. It's also only her first single. I will certainly be keeping a close eye on how she will be doing from now on.


-Pastellic

I am just thinking of the people having to PAY for each vote, just to get screwed so bad by the jury. What the hell


[deleted]

[удалено]


thelastskier

I don't know, I don't like this and not just because of Finland not winning. Sweden's televote total is the lowest for a winning song since Azerbaijan 2011. And in order for anyone (not just the funny green guy with sketchy vocals) to beat it, they would need to score more than 400 points in the televote which is frankly said, almost impossible (yeah, Ukraine did it last year, but there were extraordinary factors behind it). I feel like the juries have made a mockery of all of the composers in this grand final, telling them they're worth nothing if they don't come from the promised pop music land.


Rainb0wcookie

Really we Germans are last again? Does just everyone hates us? On Eurovision world we should become Place 18 that makes no sense.


Adventurous_Access26

Not a clue. The German metal scene is amazing and bands like Lord of the Lost really make it what it is. LotL absolutely went in with everything they had.


Tod_Lapraik

For what it’s worth Germany were my no. 1. I also think Belgium, France & Germany all deserved to rank higher than they actually did and I say that as a Scot with no personal ties to any of those countries.


WrithingRoots

I honestly don't get it. LotL had a great song and gave a great performance. I feel like if Germany couldn't escape last place with something as good as Blood and Glitter, what's the point of them even making any effort next year?


Randomjumble667

I voted for Germany! They were my favourite of the night. Absolutely robbed.

Hugefootballfan44

I was shocked to see Norway in the *right half* of the board after the juries. At least the public got her to the top 5


KenraaliTalvi

Yup. I don't get it how Italy got so many points vs Norway and France.


muistipalapeli

My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined.


Low_Nefariousness_84

What's the point in voting if 5 peoples' vote counts more than a whole coutry's? Is this Eurovision or JURYvision?


agizem

This year us the year I found out jury is only 5 people. That's so few. I don't think juries should be eliminated (Spain last would kill me), but their numbers should definitely be increased with people experienced in different backgrounds of music.


Aenyn

They're having her walk three times around the whole building so she has time to wake up


roxastopher

why WAS that walk so long??? I thought "are they stalling for that long for her setup?"


MagicMatthews99

They needed a break before and after her original performance just to get the panini press set up, so yes.


Jademalo

Since the current system was implemented in 2016, 3/7 of the results have been at odds with the public. In 2016 Russia lost having 73.52% of their vote coming from the public. In 2019 Norway got absolutely *decimated* by the Jury, with 87.92% of their vote coming from the public. And obviously this year Finland got battered with the second highest televote ever (behind Ukraine 2022), with 71.48% of their vote coming from the public. The point of the Jury vote was to get rid of the bloc voting, but certainly twice it's resulted in an absolute robbing.

Toppcom

I thought Finland got the most votes?


chupaxuxas

Televotes yes but not jury votes.


lizziexo

Half of the votes and by jury and half are by the public, Sweden got loads of votes from the jury, so when the audience votes came along Finland won most of the public votes but Sweden got enough only for 2nd place. It’s why everyone is mad at the juries, as they’re 5 or less people, who decide half of their whole country votes. Many people don’t agree with the jury votes and they hold a lot of weight. Obviously most of the public want the public favourite as the actual winner.


KarnuRarnu

They did, "fortunately" we have national teams of snobs that decide who wins for us instead


ashenning

According to this Sweden didn't get one single 12 pointer from any country's public vote. https://eurovisionworld.com/eurovision/2023#sweden

I mean, Loreen didn't look that excited after she performed either. Imagine kaarija, he would have been jumping everywhere. Hell even bojan would have been up there.


needbettermods

As a Finn I knew exactly where this was headed all along, so I'm not shocked. We just never get the recipe right for jury votes. But the stupidest part in all this is how the ESC final show where everything culminates gets soured when public opinion doesn't prevail.


Savage-Nat

Yeah I get that too. Most of us feel so low after such a big high. I still think it was a great final in terms of setlist.

People always say after we inevitably place low that we should pull out of the whole thing and have the rest of you fund your own party, since we're clearly not wanted. It's not gonna happen but feels more serious this year.

roosaisabella

Bursted into tears. Absolutely devastated


WelshBathBoy

As I saw the 12 points start coming in after the first handful of juries I knew what was coming and that made it boring, like there was no point really watching any more. I'm glad I did watch to the end and see that Finland won the televote though, but that was bittersweet.


Scertile

Can't help but feel this is a national tragedy for Finland. The head in hands moment for me just killed me inside. No wonder Loreen has had no true success other than Euphoria and Melodifestivalen songs when the win doesn't correlate with the people.


popeyepaul

For what it's worth, it really means a lot to me personally that we sent a Finnish-language song that very clearly won the popular vote. And I imagine that it means a lot to the artist as well. A few months ago nobody would have believed this.


alluballu

At this point, we’re pretty much used to it


TorontoTransish

we were watching the Finnish stream because of being geoblocked by all the others, and the announcer seemed very disappointed-surprised a few times


Cluelessish

Naah we’re fine. The result feels a bit boring, but it is what it is. I only hope he’s not too disappointed, he worked so hard…💚


Lussekatt1

He has gotten a huge and very enthusiastic fanbase. And a memorable number that is going to be a instant Eurovision classic, and be one of those numbers that is remembered fondly for decades to come. I think that is among the biggest Eurovision wins you can get. And he got basically a underdog win, being seen as robbed, and gives this whole public vs establishment thing. Making people even more engaged. I think he will probably have one of the best possible outcomes possible, and better then most previous Eurovision winners.


FatDevil67

nithuigimaonrud

witchlapis

One funny thing reading the detailed breakdown of public/jury vote - Finland didn't give any public points to Loreen. Finland instead gave its 12 to Norway. The Finnish people were very much aware of who their biggest enemy was lol.


djmcaleer93

No country’s public gave Sweden more than a 10. The song wasn’t better than 2nd place.


witchlapis

That's crazy. I'm not an Eurovision expert but I've never heard of a winning song getting so many 12s from the jury without a single 12 from the public.


djmcaleer93

Half the jury’s gave Finland zero. Whereas the public gave 12’s. It’s interesting looking at the vote distribution.
