WTF are these results, Ukraine wasn't that good! Australia and Russia were ok but not the best, and the biggest WTF is Poland, sorry but it was the song I liked the least... And I don't really understand Germany being last because I quite enjoyed the song.

This new system is very weird!

I agree about everything, i was shocked that Poland got so many points from the people at home, but in the end its not too surprising. 3 eastern european countries got the highest scores from people at home (Poland, Ukraine and Russia), i dont think its a coincidence. We have 11 points more than last year, but still last, i dont think that we can do anything to get a better result, this competition is 100% politics. Even the german jury decision seemed to be 100% political, Israel was pretty bad but we still gave them 12 points and our jury said that they also liked Belgium very much, i guess they just have a different taste. I would be really happy if we would leave this contest and save our money, we shouldnt finance this contest anymore.

Well it's over and I'm really disappointed. Apart from that, I don't even have the courage to look at my bets yet because I think it's gone quite horrible :p

1. Ukraine --> Meh.....bad song, bad voice, bad show, lot of screaming

2. Australia --> Pretty good song, great voice

3. Russia --> Typical standard popsong, not bad (way better than Ukraine obviously), but absolutely nothing special

4. Bulgaria --> Don't really remember the song to be honest, but I remember thinking it was pretty ok

5. Sweden --> What the hell? Did they ever teach this boy to sing? He was singing "dance!" and all he did was slightly move to the right

6. France --> It was quite good I guess

7. Armenia --> Mostly male voters I suppose, easy song, but good looks

8. Poland --> After Ukraine winning, Poland ending 3rd in the televoting is the biggest joke of the night

9. Lithuania --> It didn't impress me enough to remember it

10. Belgium --> We were mostly wondering how they could end up so high

11. Netherlands --> Basically as expected, in fact, exactly what the bookmakers had expected

 

:p 

 

Germany being in last is pretty much expected with that "interesting" performance, Czech Republic 25th as well although I quite liked the Czech song :( 

More drama for UK, but I guess that won't ever end anytime soon. 

German result has nothing to do with the performance, Jamie-Lee is at least among the 5 best singers here, clearly better than the guy from Russia or the ukrainian girl, but this contest isnt about music.

But the main thing about this year's Eurovision. In general the lovest level of music that I can remember. Only one or two songs that I would consider listening to in the future. None of them were in the top 10 (Iceland not even in the final). I sure hope the music is better next year!

I forgot to say that I'm really happy that France is 6th, it's so good to not be in the last places for once :lol: And I liked the song so I'm happy with this result.

on tv they said that Turkey  dindn't participate because they don't accept this rule of  5 nations qualified directly to the final just because they pay much ( it's alos my opinion 4afc8701cb0e25e408dcd24fdd0da82b.gif)

Really sad for Australia, she was clearly the best in my opinion.
 

This new system was "great", in the way that showed everyone how horrible are the "people's vote", where the winners are allways the Eastern countries with the biggest number of neighbours....

None the less they are NOT European countries. I'm not confused at all, I just think it's pathetic how some non-European countries are different than others. I could mention Morocco as well who has also taken part..

I did as well think it was a weird idea when Australia joined, but things are changing and the contest is evolving. It is the EBU who decide it

 

And 100 % politics? What politics gave Måns the win last year?

Ukraine wasn't my favourite, but it really was much more interesting than the other favourites, and I'm personally happy that Russia or Australia didn't win this.

Ukraine only won because they had an anti-russian song, last year there was no song like that, so Sweden, a "neutral" country won. Sweden isnt doing anything at an international stage, so no one has a problem with them. If you want to win this contest, you should select a political song or some weird artist like Conchita Wurst or Lordi, please dont tell me that those are good singers ...

Even Lena is a horrible singer, but she had a funny song and was good looking, which was enough to win. You just have to look at the british entries to know that this competition isnt about music really, otherwise GB would win this competition with their best possible entries every year.

It's like Germany had the same thing the Dutch had until a couple of years ago: "let's dress her up as 'strange' as possible, maybe it'll score", it doesn't. I have nothing against Germany clearly, but I really found this song to be boring. Then again, that's what I thought of 80% of the songs of tonight.

    • 2028 Team Size Projection – Feb 2026 Update   Here’s an update to my 2028 Team Size Projection. Only February events were considered for this update. Sorry for the late update, I was quite busy in my personal life. While I touch upon major events changes may occur due to results in smaller events. Additionally, several sports released their qualification document so there may be cases where I have to update the projection. I will only include sports where there is an update.   Here is the link to the updated sheet.   Aquatics (Artistic Swimming, Diving, Water Polo) World Cup events were held for artistic swimming and diving. is now projected to qualify in artistic swimming over .   Diving saw some changes with gains going to (4) (2) and losses going to (2) .   Water polo had the European Championships. No changes to Olympic projections.   Athletics (Marathon & Race Walking) The Tokyo Marathon and a gold level race walking tour event in Taicang were held. In the men’s marathon and are now in a qualifying position at the expense of and . On the women’s side; (2) have moved into a qualifying position while are out.   In the men’s 20km walk, gained two quotas at the expense of and . For the women’s 20km walk it is who are in position while are out.   Badminton The African and Oceania championships took place along with other minor tournaments. The only change relative to last month was in the men’s doubles where overtook for the final spot   Baseball/Softball The qualification document was released. While a slight change occurred, no changes to the teams qualified were made.   Basketball A set of men’s World Cup qualifiers were held this month. Angola’s loss to Mali is something to consider, but given how close it was I still consider Angola to still be the favourite to qualify. On the other hand, Argentina’s loss to Uruguay is enough to consider a change. After some shuffling around is now on the inside while is out.   Cycling (BMX Racing, Road & Track) Major events held this month include various continental championships.   In BMX Racing, gained a quota over in the men’s while is in a qualifying position over for the women.   In road cycling, on the men’s side; gained one quota over respectively. On the women’s side; gained one quota over   Track cycling see changes in the men’s individual sprint/keirin ( gain over ), men’s Madison ( gain over ), men’s omnium ( and gain over and ), women’s team sprint ( gain over ) and women’s individual sprint/keirin ( x2 over and ).   Equestrian (Dressage & Jumping) Several World Cup events were held this month. In Dressage; gained an individual quota over respectively. While in Jumping the team quota saw gains for over inversely, Colombia and Portugal will gain an individual quota, replacing the vacated Mexico and Spain. Additionally there are gains for over   Fencing (Foil) The Turin Grand Prix was held this month among other events. No changes in any of the foil events.   Field Hockey The Pro League continues. No changes in terms of Olympic projection.   Golf The Pebble Beach Pro-Am and Genesis Invitational were the main events held on the men’s side.

No changes to the teams qualified were made.   Rugby Sevens The World Series event in Perth, Australia and the second tier event in Nairobi, Kenya were held this month. No changes on the men’s side while on the women’s side there was some shuffling, but ultimately no one fell off. Argentina did make a case by winning the SVNS 2 tournament while Brazil finished 6th which included a 28-17 win for Argentina. While a good start, I don’t think it’s quite enough to make the swab just yet.   Shooting The Asian Rifle/Pistol Championships were held this month. No updates to the qualification projection.   Sport Climbing The Oceania Speed World Championships were held this month. No updates to the projection.   Squash The Windy City Open among other events were held this month. On the men’s side is now in a qualification position over . No changes on the women’s side.   Surfing The qualification document was released. There is now less emphasis on the World Surf League and the priority for the continental qualifiers have changed. This has caused some changes to the projections. For the men; are now in qualification positions causing to drop off. On the women’s side; are in and are out.   Table Tennis The qualification document was released along with the Singapore Smash. Relative to my estimations a few changes occurred. Quota changes include losing men’s quotas. They are replaced by :MDA. On the women’s side, are replaced by .
