And no that's not because I'm overwhelmed or anything, but I was just too lazy.
First of all thanks a lot tho everyone who voted for us and gave us our best result since 1993!
Being from a country that's recently very unsuccessful and then suddenly getting 4th place felt so unreal.
The actual results:
It was clear that he was never going far up the scoreboard. But I still haven't expected him last.
The
from the televoting was a shock too.
Deserved
Tbh. I've watched so many reaction videos and it looks like the people who are the happiest about the
are the Germans themselves.
But well it came unexpected to me (like all
we had in the last few years) although their performance wasn't the best...
expected
That was a good song and only 22nd.
I expected him around 15th or so, but what he actually got is undeserved.
Before the first semi she was #1 in the odds for winning the semi as well as a potential top 10 entrant in the final. After her performance on Tuesday I was pretty sure this wasn't going to happen at all. But 21st...
I'm positively surprised by this. Thought he wasn't going out of the bottom 3, but then actually reached the top 20 was amazing.
This was so bad like srsly. The only good thing in his performance were the moments when the guitar (dis-) appeared. Generally an overrated one imo.
and
Both ended in the region I expected them to.
Michela was a contender for the top 10 too. Looking over it all again, 16th is a deserved ranking imo.
Well that was a shock.
Especially her receiving only 32 televoting points. Never had I expected her to get only 15th.
Guess sending a copy of last year's success didn't pay off in the end.
Imo it's a bit underrated. However for me it all went a bit too fast here.
Omg yes! They definitely deserved to get up there. I'm happy that a song like that scored a top 15 and even move since Slovenia isn't the most successful country.
That came unexpected.
But it was a cute entry and I like that Leonora got this.
First of all congrats for the first ever
.
I'm also happy for their 11th place (although towards the end of the jury voting I expected for a top 10) and even more since I expected them at like 18th place.
Had so high hopes for Hatari ending up like 6th or so, but also deep down in me I knew they weren't going to the top 10 (my actual prediction was somewhere between 6th and 14th). At first I also thought they just missed out, but earlier this morning found out that Iceland managed to just sneak in. Just like Slovenia that's an amazing result and even more since it's not a mainstream song either as well as after Iceland's flops over the last few years very deserved.
Let's be honest Kate does not deserve the same rank as Isaiah... Thought she was going higher than that... But it's great to see Australia finally getting something also from the televoting.
Wow! Where did that one come from?
My own prediction for Tamara was 17th - 19th and that's why I didn't really pay attention to her performance. But congrats for a new best result!
Tbh. his rising in the odds throughout the last few weeks was a surprise to me. His performance was good, but I knew he wasn't finishing top 5. 7th place is a good result. Also Azerbaijan now only needs a 6th place and they'd have all from 1st to 8th lol.
Ofc this had to be up there. It imo actually deserved a top 10 result, but much lower imo. Btw. despite writing this I hoped for a 4th place for John because Too late for love is much better than their last 3 entries, but I didn't want it in top 3 lol.
Guess we all knew Keiino weren't going to score too high with the juries. The more I was happy when they suddenly received almost 300 points from the televoting.
All in all a surprising outcome tho.
Tbh. I feel like I haven't seen Russia through the voting at all so I'm a bit shocked that he got up there.
It's all in all more or less expected.
In spite of the fact that the full hall was clapping along being amazing, I was absolutely not into that performance ... But just the song deserved to get there.
I swear I was rooting so hard for this especially when it was only Duncan and John left lol (especially since it was so obvious that Sweden wasn't going to win). And when John received his points (my dad and I had no idea how many it was) I was jumping on my dad like the football players tend to do (I just forgot the word lol).
If I'm being honest, it's definitely a deserved win (also wtf did that take you so long?), and I'm just so happy for Duncan.
In the semis I'm sad for
Poland's elimination by
(but at least they weren't too far either). I'm surprised that
did so well and
so bad. The bottom 2 are very expected. In the second semi, however, I'm surprised by
and
.
I enjoyed the shows a lot overall. Being honest I'm surprised that the Palestine incidents happened so late.
And talking about Madonna: Ever since I first heard that Madonna was going to perform 2 songs, I really didn't have any high expectations at all - which were actually met. The second song was pretty bad btw. and even more since it feels like she sang only 2 sentences. I very honestly don't think that we're ever going to hear that track again.
