Eurovision 2022

You'd have to be a miserable fucker to say that wasn't a good result. Decent song got the jury vote and the public vote was only ever going one way.

Hopefully they can put a show on in Kyiv next year but if not I guess it'll be here.

The golden hat-trick.
Ukraine win.
UK 2nd.
Russia disqualified.

Putin will be incandescent

Next year I suggest a two way tie for the win featuring the new NATO entering Finland and Sweden

^He's probably been told that Russia won with 12,000 points.

Snooks,it is a bit like Kim Of North Korea being told thar rhe NK soccer team were winning at the world cup when actually they were being beaten!!

so what happens now IF Ukraine can't host it?

The points of the juries
Austria gave us 12 points
Germany gave us 12 points
France gave us 12 points
And Australia gave us sweet FA.

And Cyprus gave their 12 point to....

What's the reason for the following comments?

Konstantin Kosachev, Russian MP: "Music lost, because victory clearly did not go to the best song, and the contest lost because political attitudes prevailed over fair competition."

Elena Drapeko, Russian MP: "The result is unjustified and hard to accept. It's partly a consequence of the propaganda war of information that is being waged against Russia."

Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister: "The Russian government is fully aware of what happened in the Eurovision song contest. This outrageous action will not remain without a response."

Bitterness over Ukraine winning? Well yes, exactly that, but these quotes were taken from 2016 after Ukraine won Eurovision that year (in a close contest Russia finished 3rd).

The thing is that Eurovision is almost insanely popular in Russia, so Ukraine's victory in 2016 was hard for them to stomach. They must be in complete meltdown this time.

Didn't realise that the reason they went to the organiser for the votes from Azerbaijan, Romania and Georgia was that they detected they had been rigged, so used scores based on what would have been expected from those countries if the war hadn't happened.

Also the organisers were warned of massive DDoS attacks from Russian sites, and managed to intervene before the event. This didn't affect the UK because it didn't allow text or online votes unlike other countries.
