Finland was the only country to not give Sweden any televoting points. Yeah nice and fair country Finland is. :facepalm:

 

Btw grow up people Sweden won fair according the rules both 2015 and 2023. Only kids are crying about the rules when they don’t win :rolleyes:

Yeah maybe but not a single televote gave Sweden 12 points. Must be really awful when whole Europe wants someone else but few jury members award you the win 😉

Don't understand why they don't do like they Did some years ago, presenting a combination of the jury and people votes per country. I like transparancy but Why make it so obvious if the winner gets less votes from the public.

Actually everything is much more simple. To calculate and validate all the combined votes used to take around additional 30min, so viewers would get disengaged watching random interval acts and show would run much longer (a.k.a. more expensive), hence why EBU decided to start announcing jury votes to get the ball rolling, while at the same time they are validating points from televoting.

The whole point is that it's a mix of televoting and jury, so I really don't get what exactly the problem is with Sweden winning in that regards (other than my own personal opinion of thinking the act simply is nothing special). If you win one but not the other, that's fine, the entire point is you are the best overall instead of either just the most popular or the most 'professional'...

 

If it's mostly televoting, we'll get complaints about acts scoring high just because of sympathy (hello Ukraine) or diaspora or something (hello Turkey) and 'we should have judges award points too' :p

And also: televoting had Norway in third, which suggests televoting is not fantastic to have as the main deciding thing. I mean, I adore the song and before this week I really wanted to vote for Norway, but it was performed very disappointingly :(

Nothing spells caring like the Danish jury awarding 8 to Finland, 10 to Norway and 12 to Sweden. :cool:

You should be happy. It was a jury giving their top points to the 3 most popular songs ;)

    • Atalanta is probably playing the most beautiful football in Europe right now: spectacular and effective. It's nice to watch and they don't have to spend a lot of money for it.   Inter is playing very economically. It's not impressive but it's consistently collecting points. It's also the only team in the Champions League that hasn't conceded a goal this season.   Milan played very poorly yesterday but they won. They have 9 points and are close to qualifying for the play-offs.

    • Unfortunate, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm looking forward to Thursday evening, when the team captain's meeting is over and we have our very first World Cup start list of the season. Always a cool moment to see who's there and everything  
    • Today I unpacked some of the boxes in which we have put my way too many books to move to our house, and I came across these beauty's I hadn't seen for a while     Absolutely recommended, tough to get for a decent price, but they are such an interesting read with lots of very interesting little stories! Still looking for at least 1900, 1904 and 1906, but not really in the right moment to spend money on that now, so the wait goes on
