You can look at how the vote was split and how horrible this system really is. For instance, the most popular televote in the UK was Poland, yet they received no points from the UK when it was combined with the jury vote.


VIDEO PEOPLE. VID. E. O.

I must say, even though I'm late, that you've been given the video several times and you simply closed it and got angrier.
I think you should read before you post. I'm rewatching the voting from the final right now from that link.

You can easily go back in time on the live feed, though. I did that during the feed, too.

Meh. They also broadcast it live here for the first time but didn't bother advertising it.

My point was that you should take a moment to look before making quick conclusions. It only took you two minutes to respond to Elke and Elba, time in which I wouldn't have even entered the site. :P

I didn't watch the show, but I saw the winner. So cheap. I mean maybe she was good, I have no idea, but that beard thing was so cheap. The Eurovision is all just a fake from year to year, they try too much, but show no talent. Maybe the voters just wanted to troll a little "for the lulz"?

I don't speak Russian but presumably they're going apeshit about a transgender winning. Maybe they don't remember 1998...

Also, did you see one of my recent post edits? We had it broadcast here.

You didn't miss out on much. It was just 11 minutes of "This is the end of Europe!", "The Russian girls were the real winners anyway" "Eurovision is just a massive money making scheme for the EU" and so on. But the best one was: "I can diagnose Europe. She has blood ridden diarrhoea!". All this asspain over a song contest.
Which is funny because 90% of all Russian male pop stars are wildly effeminate closet gays.

The man you saw at about 50 seconds in was Vladimir Zhirinovsky, Russia's local village idiot politician and self hating Jew. Why they thought his opinion was relevant to Eurovision, I will never know.

Also, I'm on the side of the ditch.

Oh, brilliant, it's Zhirinovsky! He's always fun, and the fact that his party is called the Liberal Democrats brings even more hilarity.

Millions of people all suddenly decided to vote for Austria 'for the lulz'? :lol2:
The only lulz I see are my amusement towards people that try to find a reason why Austria won. Austria won because it had the best entry. That is what Europe believes.

Conchita didn't do the beard thing only for the contest. The entire drag persona has always been like that.
If you have no appreciation for talented artists, go back to your own music. I'm sure your artists are more talented. :)

No, I got the link that people thought I wanted. Respawn gave me STV's coverage, which was a good video, even in Swedish.

I know. I was talking about it being broadcast in NZ. Apparently both semi finals and the grand finals were on UKTV.

So you refused the official and accepted the STV one? That's what I don't understand.
Anyway, there was no reason to get angry if the official wasn't the one you wanted. You could have just asked for the same video from another site, and there you go. :)

Seriously, I'm convinced the jury is loaded with 2deep4u elitists who only look for superficial things like "talent" and "meaning" whilst failing to take into account the whole performance (the personality, special effects, lighting etc). I don't want Eurovision to turn into an X-Fator with flags where everyone has to play nice. Eurovision has never been about that.
Ding.

Eh, not a particularly Russian reaction, tbh. The German media flipped its shit over the Lordi win way back when, too. Eurovision is kind of taken serious by middle aged conservatives. Why, I don't know.
