@ the juries top. 2 cliché votes, I mean really... Australia again? Just like in senior ESC... this country is really treated on its own pedestal... the song was alright (can't say the same about the Maltese entry which had no quality imo)... but c'mon EBU... it's a European children contest, why then scoring the two wailing wannabe American Idol entries that try to be all adult and that don't have any European to them the highest scores?
We see the same pattern as in adult ESC... not that I care about jESC much tbh, but it's just sad...
Anyways, the public didn't agree (thankfully!)...
Poor
though , one of the few stand-out entries and "big ballads" of the evening that actually had something local and interesting to it unlike the juries top.2 picks, seems like the juries just had to make sure that they didn't end up top.3 ... I guess EBU didn't really want to risk having a Kazakh success in jESC which potentially could open the door to the adult version... oh well...
Poland was a well deserved winner in the end I think, fairly catchy song and pretty good quality for being a jESC entry... ironically better performed than the Polish entry in adult ESC this year... although I personally prefer Ukraine's entry as it was musically more interesting and had more character to it...
