Sorry, maybe this needs some explanation. In Austria, the finance minister said the government has to save money, so they’ve raised prices on essentials like IDs and cut other things. The running joke is that we can’t have nice things because we can’t afford them. So now, every time something nice happens, we just go, “Oh my god we can’t afford this.”

Pathetic that Israel nearly won.
Also, no huge thread during the festival ?

Where did all those votes for Israel come from? Was a bit surprised
PrimaveraEterna on
If it wasn’ for the jury… who would have won? Israel? Estonia? Or I missed sth else?
Jazzlike_Art6586 on
Israel got waay to close to win this with a medicore song.
They should be banned for next year.

Another year, another Eurovision result I don’t understand.

I mean, I saw in the artists’ face. Everyone knows this felt rigged af. I truly hope EBU looks into Israel votes, and they have been [found to rig Eurovision votes last year](https://archive.is/ySaYp) (archive link). Some are already furious Israel is afforded a place in Eurovision in the first place.

Thank fuck. that’s all I’m going to say.

>However, for the second year running, the UK received no points in the public score.
I don’t understand how this is even possible

Never have I supported Austria so much in my life. That 290 points from public about Israel is total bs. It deserves investigation

Ban Israel. Thank you Austria!

Austria’s victory with JJ’s ‘Wasted Love’ marks their third Eurovision win, and the UK avoided nul points with Remember Monday, which placed 19th. Austria’s win was confirmed by multiple sources, including CNN and the BBC, while the UK’s performance was notably better than previous years, where they often scored zero points.
Austria stopped Israel from winning, and that’s what matters most.

Israel bought many votes for nothing.

Israel shouldnt even be in this, if they had won it would have been sch a shut show.
Why do people vote for such a fascist state? Might as wel get russia back in.

UK public gave Israel 12 points. We cannot be trusted to vote.

I couldn’t even remember Israel’s song. Definitely rigged that they nearly won. Luckily Austria stopped that from happening. Also, UK weren’t the best tonight but zero points from the public again? Really?
NoteChoice7719 on
Switzerland in 2nd place after the jury then zero points from the public? This isn’t legit…..

Another Eurovision, another jury bait song win. I hate it when a song wins that’s specifically made for Eurovision jury machinery.
Kreol1q1q on
Didn’t like Austria’s song, but that voting and ad buying shit Israel keeps pulling should get them disqualified.

I often find these votes baffling. Did that many people love the Israeli song? Every Eurovision watcher type person I know in the UK despises them! Kinda feels like there is a groundswell of support or it’s been abused!
And it wasn’t Wannabe or anything but 0 points for UK? I thought it was a pretty decent tune well sang? (One of the few I can imagine could chart somewhat without Eurovision if it got lucky, most are way to niche and wail-y!)

The bookmakers were a complete joke this year, and I think they’ve never been this off…
Sweden had a 49% win chance, more than double of the next candidate. They ended up 4th. During the first semi-final, Belgium had a 88% chance to get through. They didn’t. Portugal had a 86% chance to *not* get through. They still made it.
These people have no idea what they’re doing whatsoever.

The far right voters suddenly watching Eurovision to vote for Israel is almost ruining the fun. 2nd year in a row this is happening.

There was a Eurovision already this year? Shit, I remember times when this contest was actually popular.

Eh, the UK still got 0 points from the public.

It feels a bit hypocritical to ban Russia from the competition but at the same time allowing Israel to compete.
But i’m very glad Austria took it home today, the lad deserved it.

My god the shit show here in the comments regarding Israel is top notch, good thing I brought popcorn.
TGX03 on
Well the UK still got zero points from the audience.
But they took it with humor, and to be honest I don’t think it deserved those zero points.

In Austria we say “Jetzt hat uns der den Schas gewonnen” and I think that’s beautiful!

Thank fuck Austria saved the day. Tommy Cash deserved to be second. And fuck Israel. Fuck them all. Free Palestine.

Austria having a good day – Oliver Glasner becoming the first Austrian manager to win the FA Cup, giving Crystal Palace their first major trophy in their 100+ year history and now this!

We can’t afford this
