Not all Lithuanians. Тhe government, their yes-men and brainwashed zombies.

For a second I was sure that we will win! I was like OMG I CAN WATCH ESC LIVE and... Mans anyway, eveything happens for the better. Not this year, but maybe next one? I just want to thank Europe for voting for the song, ignoring the fucking politics against . THANK YOU!

 

[Joyride]

Russia got 12 from Gemany, 10 from France, 10 from Belgium, 10 from Denmark, form countries that are SO ANTI RUSSIAN atm in politics, and the 0 from Lithuania, hahahaha they saw that Russia will win this year when it receives such a high points from the west so suddenly they changed voting a bit..

You should be happy that Russia received a lot of points from countries that - in your opinion - are so anti Russian which proves it's all about music and not politics.

Additionally, the votes are transmitted to the host BEFORE they read the results. So just because connection was lost (annoying, I agree) doesn't mean the points weren't already in Austria. YOU are naive if you believe the presenters get the points in that moment the spokespersons are reading them. ;-) There was no possibilty for Estonia to replace given points.

But it's okay, it's your opinion. Don't be sad! Next year will maybe be better for you! xcrossed

Congratulations Russia. Second place was really well deserved. Her voice was amazing and her performance was from the best.

I don't know what else to say she was amazing and the result was totally reasonable

Some people are in some hardcore extreme denial. I can't believe after last night there is anybody who thinks the EBU isn't tinkering with how things play out

It was set up as big bad Russia stealing Eurovision and then the good guy hero coming to save Europe from the dark plague...everybody knows that

They did it to play with Polina's emotions? To make sure they had her on live television and see how she acted being interviewed by Conchita? So fanboys can laugh at the Russian being so close to the bearded drag queen? It was disgusting NONO

 

[Chorizo]

And once again, thank you EBU and thank you Europe cuz you are assholes. You talked too much about tolerancy and human rights, is this your tolerancy? Is this way how one beautyful and talented girl need to celebrate in own succes

I thought her tears were supposed to be tears of joy because she was overwhelmed with being in the lead.

The voting is done with an algorithm based on the jury voting, to make it excting. Considering Latvia edged out Russia in the jury voting, the initital leader the algorithm decided could even be Latvia and not Russia.

Plus, even the hosts of the show had that little message that people should be there judging the songs and not the politics of the countires whil Russia was in the lead, you just ignored that?

 

[GWTW1939]

They say a lot of things that are complete bullshit....they have to give the appearance of being fair even when they know full well they aren't

All the press is Russia almost wins but Sweden pulls it out in the end. Thank god we were spared homophobic Russia from hosting and we are safe in paradise Sweden. That's the storyline they wanted

 

[Chorizo]

Now Polina's fans think a conspiracy is the only possible explanation for Russia not winning.

 

[GWTW1939]

No, its not about Russia not winning, its about the storyline they purposely created for their "exciting show" that has Russia fans pissed off

Or at least it does me because I never expected Polina to get as close to winning as she did, so for me 2nd is amazing

 

[paddyirl]

Agree I expected Top 5 but that was all, 2nd was a great result for her.

When the voting is like in 2012 or 2009, people complain that it's boring and predictable and that they want a closer result and more exciting voting. When they get it, it's only fun for those, whose favorite wins. I guess, you cannot have everything.

This year, they created real drama and it might have been too much of it.

People will always find a reason to complain, no matter what.

In the main Russian newspaper is still trying to understand why Lithuanians give a big fat 0 to Polina as well..

It is clearly stated there that it is because of anti-Russian jury

And that is very close to reality IMO. I can't find any musical reasons for the Lithuanian jury to put Polina on 20th position.

No. I didn't expect from Polina to win. I was hoping for a 2nd place and she got it and I'm happy.

 

[Guitarhero]

She is the moral winner 2015, no doubt. In spite of how rude the audience and commentators were (booing etc) she were still enthuiastic, friendly and smiling during the whole competition.

 

[FilipFromSweden]

I think Polina deserved to win just as much as Måns did. But I think she is a bit relieved she didn't win. Imagine the controversy if Eurovision would be hosted in Putin's anti-HBTQ Russia? The EBU would have a hard task in front of them. Conchita seemed to like Polina thought so did I. I think she really didn't deserve the boo-ing, she seemed so sweet and genuine.
