With all the Ukraine stuff, pre- grand final social media news about the contest is even more toxic than usual.

Are u surprised ?

 

[Gitte]

Are u surprised ?

No, mainly very frustrated. I honestly WANT it to be over now just for it to end.

No, mainly very frustrated. I honestly WANT it to be over now just for it to end.

Honestly I don't care about these comments, people will always complain !

Now let's just enjoy the show, it's our moment of the year

 

[gingerale]

Can´t believe it´s almost over again. You wait the whole year and then the ESC week feels like it lasts only hours because it passes so fast.

I'm kind of relieved. My sleeping pattern is totally fckd up right now.

 

[mauve]

what am i f going to do with my life before 9pm CET

I actually just was cleaning my room.

I'm kind of relieved. My sleeping pattern is totally fckd up right now.

Same here. Glad I don’t need to ruin my body after the GF any more.

I'm still not sure how to vote tonight. I have 8 favourites and don’t want to vote for all of them because that would be useless.

I think I will vote for 3, maybe 4 countries. Do I vote for my top 3 personal song winners or do I vote for countries that deserve it or to countries that have never won… questions…

 

[banana]

If Ukraine really wins, I a bit doubt that EBU would like to hold ESC under slogan "Let's try not to die together!" somewhere in the west part of my country Even if we win another contest, taxpayers won't be happy about extra spending for entertainment show. So the question of who comes second is probably more important tonight.

Voting order for tonight's grand final. What do you think it means results-wise?

From UK to Italy are all jury favourites themselves (except for Czech Republic probably), that's weird to see.

I'm not sure it can reveal something since 2016... Now that jury and televote are splitted, there is suspense anyway.

The bulk of countries that probably have voted for Ukraine and will do massively jury+tele again are probably in the last 5. So if Ukraine hasn't ran away with 800 points, they'll prob get a lot from the last 5. It's probably also in case Ukraine gets a "it's about music not war" from the televoting, the leading song will prob switch around 3, or 5 times with the last 5/6 countries.

 

[AlekS]

I'm 100% sure we will be pawned by the jury. Again.

 

[grazy2266]

I'm 100% sure we will be pawned by the jury. Again.

I'm not so sure, fingers crossed they dont.

 

[Bobjan FR]

I'm 100% sure we will be pawned by the jury. Again.

I don't think, but we'll see. In fact, when seeing that juries usually don't reward well song with rap inside, it would be logic... But I have the feeling there will be an exception this time.

You will know if if it’s jury, public, either or both. I suspect both.

That’s all true but it’s actually a pretty awesome final. Can’t wait

[goncalovieira]

What are we doing on 3rd place?

 

[Lietuvis]

I have no clue why so many people get their panties in a bunch. Ukraine's song would be a contender any other year, and this year especially with so few good songs around.
