Remove the juries for the final too

 

[MopManMoss]

Ezio come back a gay asian man has won for you nation please i need to see how you are doing

 

[Hatari2600]

We better get rid of juries AND televoting next year.

 

[Dark]

Estonia beings top 3 with the juries is a piss to the other acts.

 

[jatojo]

Imagine a two hour concert with that guy. Yikes.

 

[blue00eyes]

that's pretty much a given, no?

Oh no here we go again

 

[ekzuu]

1p from top 2 I am screaming

Omg what we almost won

 

[Sabrewulf238]

We better get rid of juries AND televoting next year.

Just pull the winner out of a hat.

 

[yuki_vamp.esc]

Hahaha can't stop laughing because JJ being too emotional is such Filipino

 

[Preuss]

Yes congrats Austria, worthy winner for sure!!

 

[Harry]

Joined by the Swiss song with zero televotes, that song actually got the Eurovision composition award before the show but that didn't help them with the televote.

I full on shouted WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK when that happened. Literally, absolutely awful!! The public are a disgrace

 

[I bims]

This is so dumb. Just scrap having Eurovision in a hall with an audience if you mute them the whole ass time and use fake applause anyway.

Go have it in a tiny bunker in Israel and have a great time with it. This was a shitty viewing experience.

 

[Ajeje Brazorf]

Remove the juries for the final too

Without Juries the podium would have been Isreal, Poland, Estonia or something like that. Televoting sucks so hard nowadays.

Austrian Eurovision singer faces backlash over his support of opera star who praises Russia's war against Ukraine - Euromaidan Press

Social media investigators have uncovered that Johannes Pietsch not only praised Anna Netrebko, who performed in occupied Ukrainian territory and openly supports Russian aggression, but also credited her as direct inspiration for his competition song.

thanks, I see. I'm not delighted over this, but I don't think it necessarily means he's pro-Russian

 

[Biste]

Adorable winner's reprise though!

 

[GermanBango]

So we are just gonna keep doing this …. Year after year … trying to dodge the Israel bullet?

 

[Simon]

Finland only 11th?!

Hope to see Erika as a guest in future shows.

 

[Iker]

So it's a high-pitched winner once again. Depressing. No way this will be played on the radio.

I personally don't care what's played on the radio save for a few radio stations of choice. Most music I listen to is never played there, like for instance industrial.

 

[ekzuu]

The dynamics are offfff tho
Jury decides winners
While televote is handicapped by israel
I WANT TELEVOTE FAVES TO WIN TOO

 

[0scar]

meh I really don't like Wasted Love. So artificial and calculated for a win. Not enjoying this tbh.
