I don't like Europop and I didn't like the UK entry which seemed to me to have been written to appeal to a Europop audience.Ā I liked the Moldovan entry which didn't do well but the UK public vote was 1. Ukraine (obviously)Ā 2. Poland (well done the Polish community šµš±)Ā 3. MoldovaĀ If the people who decide on the song set out to write a Euro song well done to them. They got it spot on.Ā Although I didn't like the music and I don't usually like talent shows I actually enjoyed the night. I must be getting old.....Ā Edit - unusual voting patterns identified in 6 countries š¤ Edited May 15, 2022 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
priceyrice 123 Posted May 15, 2022 Good on Ukraine for winning. How anyone could have hoped or expected anything else is beyond me. The fact we came second is truly beyond my comprehension;Ā so used to seeing us in last place. Our song is also a pile of **** so really well done; the power of social media I guess. Also pleased to see Germany and France suffer over their lack of support for Ukraine.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
How I Wrote Elastic Man 1,187 Posted May 15, 2022 (edited) UK - Europe doesnĀ“t hate you. It never did. ItĀ“s all about having a decent song and good performer. The UK has the best music in the world. I could get a band out of any town in England, even Ipswich (ENT, Stupids), who would put up a good show Iceland - See that? ThatĀ“s what happens when you donĀ“t send the best band youĀ“ve ever had. RVKDTR have been ripping up Europe for years, and would have smashed Eurovision Russia - Big mistake not having a Russian entry.Ā ItĀ would have been a perfect platform for PĆŗssyĀ Riot Edited May 15, 2022 by How I Wrote Elastic Man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
