Geopolitics win the day and not for the first time. Really this is why I love Eurovision so I can't complain :lol:

Polish diaspora all over Europe, everybody knows it.

Putin not happy tonight.

Terrible song. Aus did well.

it wasn't that...it strong only in England and Ireland ...

Maybe we can have a song about shirtfronting next year!

Sucks that we got so close and missed out. Dami did great though. Really didn't like the Ukraine song, I don't think it would have won if not for the political sentiment. Ah well!

What an anti-climax. Poor song choice as the winner. Should've been either Australia or Russia....or anyone else.

#eurofail

Ukraine song was about the war in Ukraine...and both the jury and pubic believe it was worth winning base on those events....i'm shocked how much the pubic voted for Ukraine, we knew the Jury give Ukraine very high votes, but we didn't think the pubic would

Send an aboriginal next year to sing about the stolen generation and we're on a winner.

Poland had a big fluctuation.

Jury of knowledgeable industry people voted pretty accurately. We killed it.

The public vote was a popularity superficial political contest. Weak year anyway.

I really don't understand the anti-Russian sentiment that exists in the world today. What is it based on exactly??

i agree...she has a great voices

what is there not to understand..Russia special forces pretending to be pro-Russian demonstration taking over Crimea airport and Crimean parliament , and with in 8 weeks, Crimean are voting in a sham election where they tell us that 97% say yes to join Russia , 97%

we know they was Russia special forces pretending to be pro-Russian demonstration, because Putin told the world they was Russia special forces

Russia then try to do the same thing to south-East Ukraine, but Ukraine with only about 500 troops and another 500 volunteers start fighting as soon as Russia special forces try to take over Donetsk and Luhansk...but this time Putin say this is not Russia troops fight, but farmers and miners , some how the farmers and miners have found more tanks then what all EU army's have combined

lets not for get the all the practice nuke bombing runs that Russia airfoces is now doing to the Scandinavian countries

shooting down MH17 and killing all those Australians ...

Oh yeh, it was a great song and should have done better in the voting.

i bet for Cyprus to be in top 15...to bad

Great that Ukraine won with their song about the criminal Russian deportations of the Tatars from Crimea.

I hope that causes Putin to choke on his teledinner!

Is Putin dead yet or what?

It was a top 5 performance imo.

It was very upbeat from a good band, but the voters didn't go for it.

Australia should have won. But happy Ukraine did and not Russia! :lol:

yeh...i was really massive on Australia to win, i thought she was home ....but i happy for Ukraine, it be very big thing for them to win

Politically, it's massive for Ukraine.

'Strayan innovation. YouTube 'Party Boys 1987 He's Gonna Step on You Again' for more

I doubt a lot of European people know what that is.



Yeah no classics this year, for sure.

Apparently under last years voting system we would have won #robbed

yes...

No, under last years voting system Russia would have won. Australia would have finished 3rd (or was it 4th?)

Edited by BrisbaneBhoy: 15/5/2016 11:31:27 PM

there no way Russia would have won, because they finished so low in jury vote...Russia was the same as Italy last year, italy won the public vote. but came 6 in jury vote to finish 3rd over all

we don't know for sure, on till Eurovision will give both jury and public vote in all countries

this is not 1st year of jury and pubic voting, it just 1st year of giving 12 points to both jury voting and public voting.

Will Australia participate next year?

I thought it was pretty rough on Australia as far as the public vote went.

It was a good song.

But how Cyprus came 21st has me flabbergasted. That was a great Heavy Rock number that deserved better too.

Just goes to show, it's not about picking the best song.

Nothing guaranteed yet.




Or it goes to show that other people may have different musical tastes and opinions to your own.

Sure I can accept different tastes in music and that it is all subjective. Not a problem.

But 21st? Nothing subjective about that.

Countries vote in blocks, and for political reasons as well. It's probably why Ukraine won. I am not going to take that victory away from them though because if it helps the Ukrainian people in their hour of need, then I'm all for it.

Oh I've been named guilty of stealing aboriginal children overseas. Apparently we all do it. I don't need to resort to such nonsensical generalisations.

but this is why they brought in jury voting, other wise Eastern Europe would win every year

she had to to win the jury vote by a big margin on Russia (which she did) but there was very big support for Ukraine form the pubic vote away from Eastern Europe ...

Australia can't win Eurovision with out winning the jury vote by a big margin, Australia just doesn't have the voting blocks
