I mean, Australia and Sweden again saw most of their votes come from juries.

Austria had a great song, and was clearly jury friendly. Not surprised or mad at all at its placing.

Theres nothing to hate. This Voting was perfect. Australia "only" 11th was nice to see, and only a Bit overrated.

Austria is just a joke.

And not appreciating Italy is the biggest joke once again.

Back on topic, I'm not here to *hate* on the juries, more just to express shock at how absolutely merciless the televoters were with their favorites. Nothing to add, just...wow.

:at: and :se: scoring so high with the juries makes me think jury votes are rigged. #conspiracies
(I like :at:'s song, but objectively speaking, there were many more deserving jury winners)

Couldn't agree more, Sweden again pushed like crazy by the juries and doing an Australia from last year. I even like Austria as well, but I can't believe the juries thought that and Sweden was the best.

Well, if you are a producer of pop songs, than I really understand why Sweden and Austria were the best. But the televoters will not vote for that. They just vote for show and emotion. In the end televotes are way more important in Eurovision, so it doesn't really matter.

Guys just get over it. Almost everyone here had :at: in the bottom 5 in the prediction and yet it did so well...

We are no :au: or :se:, we also had quite a decent televoting result (with out having any clear allies and no diaspora)

50% is juries, 50% is televotes, so they're equally important

The correct top 2 succeeded in the end so luckily the Juries didn't do too much damage. If anything the public had a more "professional" music taste than the actual juries.

In theory, yes, practically no. Juries are way more devided, so they decide way less than televotes ;) But It's not that I care

It's like Australia last year. It seems they went with the quality of the track and not on the actual performance. Even then I don't believe that It was far and above the rest to win the jury vote, but better that Austria won it instead of Sweden (although that drama would have been delicious)

Just goes to show that in anything that is judged there will always be some people with more political pull than others.
