I have friends that went to the final and trust me, is INSANE the people hating her, and the technology they used also was used for Russia when they participated because the public was angry with them the last years... i hope the next year this situation ends because it was a sad moment and can enjoy the contest 😟

 

I'm very happy Switzerland won!! the performance, the voice and the song is the best combination of the night and they deserved, the people don't understand that a 50% jury 50% televote means that some years wins the public, other the jury favourite and other none of these two but had more points at the end, let's see in which city they want to host it in switzerland, i hope for Bern or Zurich

 

The UK getting a 0 from the public with a INSANELY famous person LOL haha

 

 

 

Exactly, fans need to stop saying it's rigged because the public vote was higher than the jury vote.

 

The UK getting zero again is not good and they will have try harder in the future.

The boos started for Russia because of their invasion and takeover of Crimea in 2014, soon to be followed by their incursions into Eastern Ukraine, and their attempt to push westward.

 

People seem to forget that Putin's war in Ukraine didn't start 2½ years ago.  This war is now over 10 years old, with Ukraine repelling every effort by Russia to encroach deeper within.  The straw that broke the camel's back was when he used Crimea and the Black Sea to take the southern part of Ukraine, and rolled tanks into Southern Belarus (apparently with Lukashenko's approval, as if he really had any choice) to take Northern Ukraine.

 

The EBU sat on their hands as the tanks rolled toward Kyiv, even after Ukraine demanded action; until at least 9 other countries (including Iceland, Ireland, the Netherlands and the rest of Scandinavia and one or more of the Baltics) gave the EBU an ultimatum:  Either Russia goes, or we go.

 

The EBU had no choice, as surely more countries would have withdrawn from the 2022 contest, possibly forcing its cancellation.  Russia was kicked out.  They soon withdrew from the EBU.  By their association with Putin's war, Belarus has not been invited back.

Global Spotify


#17  Switzerland
#25  Netherlands
#45  Croatia
#69  France
#116  Ukraine
#124  Italy

 

Netherlands even being eliminated is a huge success!! and no sign of Israel... it seems the public vote of Israel is not only because the people liked the song...

 

And in Croatia... Baby Lasagna very emotional and told to the people to forgive him for not winning 😭 but the best thing is he was eliminated at first in the Croatian selection and because one of the contestants withdraw, he entered haha

Israel's song is that type of The Voice performance that people love on the show because at the time it's emotional and strong vocal, but don't listen to it outside of the show because it's not the typical song that most people would listen to normally.

This tells you that social media isn't reality. Nemo's video with 11M views has 125k likes/120k dislikes. A vast majority of the 36k comments are negative. There are comments with 10k, 20k, and even 50k likes that said he didn't deserve to win.

 

But all that doesn't mean anything in real world because he did indeed win.

 

 

 

Is very usual the people complain about the winners especially when they didn't win the public vote, last year with Loreen happenned with her 2nd victory the same and if you watch only his spotify Tattoo almost reach the 500 Million and it was Number 1 in almost every country last year, the juries in eurovision mostly are profesional music industry people so they prefer a performance with great vocals, simple concept but at the same time outstanding and very commercial or iit has a very special vibe. For curiosity Nemo made history, is the highest percentage of jury points per country but only counting the score Salvador Sobral (Portugal 2017) still got it, but that year were 5 countries more voting.

Yes, when i'm watching the voice this could be the kind of performance for that, but this is eurovision and Israel song no one mentioned during the pre-season, yes some people liked it, but is the typical situation that the people say in normal circunstances " What a great voice and the song is not bad, is not my favourite I prefer X or Y but I hope it do well" later in the voting no one voted for her because the people only voted for their favourites and the favourites that received most moves are impactfull songs, the song from Israel we hear that a lot of times before and i think would had ended in the bottom 5 with the public but higher jury score than she received at the end,see the results from American Song contest as an example or watch the top songs from the public vs the top from juries in other years from eurovision.  There are much interesting ballads like Serbia 2007 or Ukraine 2016 or if you want something more "basic" United Kingdom 2009 "wrote by Diane Warren and Andrew Lloyd Webber" Australia 2016 or Russia 2015 (Polina Gagarina, some people says she is one of the secret lovers of Putin, and her eurovision song was sang in the 2018 world cup ceremony), here i leave the performances.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a very interesting thing, in 2009 Israel send a duo, Noa and Mira Awad and Israeli-Palestinian duo (16th place), now 15 years later see how the story goes...

Israel's Hurricane song is charting higher than Switzerland, France and Croatia's songs on iTunes Canada.

She's at #65 in us. I checked the list, and none of the other Eurovision contestants are in the top 100.

Let's wait, but it seems the public vote of Israel was motivated by the Israel government

 

 

But now that everybody knows, many other countries (if not all of them) will try the same thing next year.

And that's why they will have a meeting the next month to create something to evade this because the EBU noticed that and they can eliminated that votes for the next years, maybe a limit of votes per song because actually is 20 votes, maybe a lower limit.

top 100 spotify in eurovision, the video is in Ukranian but is easy to understand, at the bottom the name, country, placement and million of streams, up the place of that year, Snap and Arcade reach the 1000 Million mark. The top 100 start at 1:45, top 50 at 6:05 and top 10 9:38.

I want to see ranked-choice voting next year.  ONLY ONE VOTE per line (!!), where each voter ranks their favorites from 1st to 10th.  Their top pick obviously gets 12 points, while their 10th favorite gets one point.  All the points are added in each country, and whichever performance gets the most points gets 12 points for their country.

 

This might prompt the incentive for those hell-bent on vote-packing to use burner phones.  But burner phones are waaaaay more expensive than a simple €0.99/$0.99/£0.99/¥99 call; and if a burner phone can be tracked and identified as a burner phone (the area code and signal source do not match), then the votes from that phone can be thrown out.

I prefer to only select 3 or 5 songs and give them just 1 vote or make like in melodifestivalen give a score for each song from 0 to 5 in an app, but the problem of the problem in eurovision need to know the location when you vote for which country counts the vote and the moment to give the points so maybe this situation make to think about this, let's see how the meeting with the delegations very soon bring some changes
