Sam Ryder’s song Space Man was released on 22/2/22. Performed 22nd in the running order and placed 2nd in the final? Bloody hell that’s a lot of 2s… #Eurovision
@esc_tim The reactions to that post and the jurors that didn’t vote how they wanted are exactly why there shouldn’t be that level of transparency unfortunately..
@bosdovja92 The show hosts may not be great but the city of Vienna has put on a fantastic contest week seemingly enjoyed by all of us who went. Would happily go back again!
Had a blast 🇩🇰 🇦🇺 #Eurovision
Some thoughts:
- We ended up with a really strong final
- The crazy voting sequence was wild to watch
- Bulgaria coming out of nowhere 2 days before the final 👏 👏 👏
- Vienna was fantastic - 2nd best fan experience for me (euroclub/city/village)
@CalmAfterTheTim@TheJoeyJason It’s not really that weird - Ukraine has their highest solidarity vote in 2022 just like Israel did in 2024. Last year there was a whole story behind Yuval + it being a weak year overall hence the higher televote.
@bosdovja92 The televote being open from the start actually benefits Greece more than Finland but they’ve done what they can to get Finland a high jury score. Imagine Denmark came 3rd in the semi like a lot of the show openers have done so can hopefully squeak a Top 10 still.
@eurobirdo They usually record on the third run through so she’s already done the full routine twice by this point with like 60 seconds break between runs
