What lessons was given to you at this years ESC?

- In my point of view Italy was glitter, it was "let's put the most italian clichés in one act". Big soapera and that's why i didn't like it, it's hard for me to find any "elegant" or "classic" side to this song. let's say taste differs.
- still, Russia didn't win because it was Russia. If it wasn't Russia (and that great actress), i'm sure they would have won.

It is called bel canto.

I've realised that sometimes I can be terrible at predicting. Apart from that, I've learnt that in the end what matters is that ESC should be won by a country able the organise this sort of show, it's painful to see a bad final.

I will tell you, but you must promise not to tell the guards that I left a mess and that I can't undo what has been done

Also: banking most of your song's selling points on "our singer can really sing" is really, really dicey because singers can implode at any moment.

I learned that Austria sucks at camera work and that ESC should never be hosted by ORF. Ever! x0s
I learned that Lithuania has a jury that votes based on the politics instead of the song or the performance x0s
I learned that Lithuanians are hypocrites. x0s x0s
I learned that Belgium and Latvia can actually send a decent act.
I learned that the juries have to go.
No matter how much people hate on Russia, it still will be in the top 10.
I learned that Greece always has a great performance no matter how shitty their song is
