What do we all think about Ukraine winning then, their song was pretty good tbf
Also, so many ballads and sad songs wtf. Very few countries understood the assignment this year in my opinion

It was good fun, but yeah there wasnt a lot of eurovision madness, which I think helped ukraine get such a high score as well.

I haven’t been able to see anything yet, but I received a live commentary from my parents & honestly I’m still in shock that the UK actually managed to come second lmao

Ukraine was obviously going to win no matter what their song was, so that was a bit boring, but their song was actually alright so I don't mind as much.
I like the UK song too but I was hoping it wouldn't do well because now the UK knows they don't actually have to be nice to other countries to get any points so they have one less reason to try.
I'm normally not a massive fan of the really dramatic ballads, but I like the sad/calm songs. Netherlands was my favourite this year.

I don't really care about Eurovision but did Ukraine won merely because of the war? lol

The way it works is 50 percent of the vote is from the official jury of the countries, the rest is a public vote by phone
Ukraine got lots of points from many countries (I think Poland, Romania, Latvia, Moldova and some more all gave them 12 points) but they also got a MASSIVE public vote.
It's kind of a solidarity thing from the rest of Europe. Not that it'll make a difference but its a nice gesture, they had a good song and I think they deserved to win
Obvs blatently political tho, which is fine, but then why was Iceland fined for a (silent and peaceful) pro-palestine protest in 2019?
