Amazed how low the Israel public vote was. Only 220 vs 297 last year.

I think this was my worst ever Eurovision. I missed out on about £40 late on when I hadn't realised I'd run out of available balance.

That was a very enjoyable but very surprising Eurovision.
Regarding the jury vote, we have never seen such a wide spread of point allocation. Usually the jury vote concentrates on a top 3 to top 5 of big hitters attracting the biggest percentage of points. Not this time. It felt like randomness was messing with the usual dynamics. There are many countries who in a normal year would never have received 12 points from any jury, let alone Malta (3) and Poland (4).
There are a lot of traders, bloggers and punters scratching their heads for sure! Can't wait for next year!

It makes bit of a mockery of the jury votes now, when even the very highest act (Bulgaria) receives just over 200, yet the public vote was well over 300!
The days before phone voting were the heyday for me, when it all hung on the individual country votes and people like Cliff Richard lost by a single vote.
As for a UK act singing in GERMAN!... Was never going to end well.
...And as for that mess of a BBC Trans-ideology-pushing sleazy bloke in women's clothing who presented our votes, well I think it's no wonder that so many have now stopped paying the licence fee.
