That first one, absolutely no way, but that's mostly because I think 99% of the rap songs sound like "ear AIDS", as we would say on Dutch forums. The second one is awesome and genuinely made me laugh If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

rybak 2,761 Posted May 15, 2016 Author #453 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Congrats Ukraine for win! Although I'm not happy of this winner, for me Australia should win this, but my personal favourite was France, even if Amir sings not too good in final! Finally good position for us, third in televoting and eight in total! But jury killed us as always Time to throw out them from voting New system of presenting votes is good after all, few weeks ago I thought that it will be bad, but no I like it Let's if Russia will withdraw now from next year contest There was news few hours before Grand Final that if Russia will win this Ukraine will withdraw from 2017 contest, maybe this also decided for Ukrainian victory? Anyway I will still listen those songs by long time Greece Austria Latvia Cyprus France Hungary Czech Republic Ireland Iceland Montenegro Estonia Btw. How on earth Czech Republic have 0 points from televoting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG 2,207 Posted May 15, 2016 #455 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I just watched the replay of the whole final (couldn't watch live), I was completely unaware of this new voting system but I accidentally read an article that said "Ukraine eurovision winner" before watching. So I started watching and thought, as the countries were voting, "how the hell did Australia lose this?" The winner was very average, I can't see any reason why it got such a high televote other than for political reasons. Australia was so much better... but oh well, last two years the best song didn't win either (Netherlands 2014, Italy 2015), this is euroshitision after all. And I CANT BELIEVE how that weirdo from Poland got 3rd place in televote wtf (nothing against Poland, I liked their songs the two previous years). The televote is garbage, but we live in the age of social media and "the spectator is King", so there's nothing we can do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,232 Posted May 15, 2016 #456 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Really sad Australia didn't win, it was the standout song for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dezbee2008 809 Posted May 15, 2016 #457 Share Posted May 15, 2016 I'm not a fan of Ukraine's song, but they deserved victory. You can't hate on a powerful performance, plus I think it sounds better live. And even though I like Australia's song more, I'm happy they didn't win. But I'm extremely happy that Poli gave Bulgaria their best result ever! She may not have won Eurovision, but she's my personal winner and she'll always be in my heart. Oh, and Logo TV aired Eurovision here in the states for the first time and the commentators were shit. Absolute shit. And no, they didn't show Justin Timberlake here, so really idc at all.

The televote is garbage, but we live in the age of social media and "the spectator is King", so there's nothing we can do. Sure you liked their songs in the last two years Spoiler But yeah, I agree about the whole "what the hell is Poland doing in 3rd place" thing. Well it's obvious, Poland will always score high in televote even if they send the worst singer ever, simply because Polish are in every country and will vote like crazy to get Poland up high. They had a mediocre singer this time, with quite a boring appearance and an even more boring song (I only remember "what color is your life" or something)...as shown by the jury.

Agger 1,598 Posted May 15, 2016 #460 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Some pathetic news. One of the danish jury members (an old singer called Hilda Heick, whose housband has written lots of songs for the danish competition through the ages just as they have participated a couple of times) was wrong in the voting meaning she had Australia last when she wanted them as first.
