GoGo Yubari Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Just now, Benji said: How long have they had seperate jury and people votes? That ruins the entire thing for me. Couple years. It has some led to some really hilarious moments once the people's votes are revealed (the run of like five countries in a row getting 0 votes from the people like two years ago was great) but it makes this part of it feel interminable.

If nothing else she's making this process more manageable. As did the Icelandic result reader. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benji Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Wtf they absolutely ruined public votes too. This is shit 😕 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Ellis Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 2nd bottom, that's the UK Eurovision performance we know and love. Sam Ryder coming second was just unnatural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris2K Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Oof. UK bottom of the public vote it seems. I'm sure the disappointment will be over-ridden by the money she'll make from streaming given how much airplay it's getting. EDIT: Second bottom to Spain it seems.

Hellraiser Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 (edited) Last place for Germany again. I really thought that this year we had a chance to at least make it to the 2nd column. I figured the juries wouldn't appreciate Metal but I hopped the audiences would enjoy it more than they did. Oh well. See y'all again next year.

Hellraiser Posted May 13, 2023 Report Share Posted May 13, 2023 Well, we might have lost. But there is at least some good news: The bland commentator who has done Eurovision here since 1997 will retire after this year's edition. So at least there is that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigerstyle Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 The judges are so dated. The fact UK gave Finland nothing but got the 12 from the public is really telling. Swedens judge vote was insurmountable. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benji Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 I haven't watched a Eurovision live since Wogan left, and I was left enjoying the show but absolutely baffled by the voting system, it's God awful. Norway and Finland deservedly shooting up so high after the peoples vote made me so angry about this dumb jury system they have now. The Sweden song is an absolute rip off of an ABBA song, and it's a blatant effort from the people in charge to make "ABBAs 50th" a thing next year in Sweden. I'm actually really annoyed at the corruption of Eurovision, what has my life become? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cymbols Posted May 14, 2023 Report Share Posted May 14, 2023 Tbf, the new voting system led to some suspense right at the end which you wouldn’t have gotten the old way. That said, Finland was robbed. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
