Honestly the jury votes was the most exciting this year compared to the televotes, because most people expected Ukraine to win the televote, so that excitement to see who'd win wasn't there. But it was generally exciting to see the voting process this year because there was multiple favorites!

[@MissMars2022]

Hope we gonna see the reactions from Sean & Gabe as well! Can't wait to see their faces, when UK gets all the points. So happy for y'all!

[@Soniab42]

Yes have they uploaded yet ?

[@Soniab42]

Thank you for all that you have done @escunited! I hade followed you since 2017 and I have listened to all livestreams! Amazing work You do ! Hope the EBU charges their mind about their latest release !🌷

[@mattb1571]

I was 2 when the UK last won, my entire memory of Eurovision has been the UK flopping in the votes. It's never been about winning for me, but last night, the rush of getting points, seeing the UK do so well.

[@gamerboi-ag132]

This was the highest finish that I've ever seen one of my nationalities achieve at ESC!

[@eurovisionfan7067]

I thought I was dreaming that the UK was leading the ESC!!

[@rayzorhead]

So the public became POLITICAL

[@lannalisa2925]

Yes, we planned to vote massively Ukraine by whispering ear to ear. It's a Escgate

[@joelfernandes6865]

Australia give 0 to UK and Spain 0 to Portugal is criminal 😂😂

[@mikolaj2698]

Same Ukraine to Poland

[@hortensimon5416]

Italia 0 a España.

[@ddloopproductions9682]

and same to albania to greece

[@franciscojavierpacheco5563]

How many times did Spain vote for Portugal and Portugal didn't vote for Spain??? perhaps it is that Spain this year had a superb proposal and deserved the 12 points. Anyway, that was the jury's score, the Spanish televote did.

[@slitherzither]

I was happy to see the UK do so well. Sam gave a fantastic performance, and his song was one of my favorites this year. Also it's fun watching this the day after and being like "oh just wait" when Matt says "it's not going to be Ukraine". :) I kinda felt bad for Germany getting 0 from the juries this year. I don't always like Germany's entries, but I thought Malik had a good song, and he gave a good performance. I mean, I didn't expect it to be up there or anything, but maybe a couple of points.

[@HeyThreshold]

Would have helped if you named who was giving votes each time cause it's seldom clear from the distant audio.

[@nerdzik2796]

Voting for torn war country is the same good reason as voting for country with a sexy singer. But every year no one complains about voting for friends, neighbours or just sexy ppl.

[@stateofdreaming]

I LOVE seeing people like you who thought the juries weren't gonna vote for Spain because of past voting patterns getting wowed by the result. The truth is, Chanel WAS the full package and I'm glad both the juries and the public saw that, the best entertainer we've seen since Loreen I'd dare to say. If it wasn't for Ukraine sweeping she probably would've taken the whole thing because Sam Ryder didn't get nearly enough televotes as she did and the final difference between Spain and the UK was only 7 points.

[@cagucinho]

Portugal getting 10 points from Ukrainian Jury. It felt like 12 points as for some reason I always "knew" the 12 points would go to the UK but it`s ok because Sam song is good. As a Portuguese I`m so happy Portugal was 5th with Jury and 9th on final scoreboard. Well deserved. Could be a bit higher but it`s not bad. Congrats to UKRAINE.

[@jennyesc8615]

I'm so happy for the U.K

[@Dim4323]

16 time 2nd place

[@sannev8407]

When Ukraine came 4Th, you knew they would win the contest! It's proof that their victory isn't underserved! and I'm SO happy for the UK and Spain!

[@alipanroosendaal9503]

I doubt that assessment. Rap songs, or songs containing a rap element, never receive jury points. Suddenly one gets 4th place. Coincidence? I don't think so. Jurors were (maybe subconsciously) more sympathetic. Plus, the countries involved in the semi-final vote-rigging had their votes transferred and averaged, so we don't even know the accurate final jury score. With respect, your comment smacks of confirmation bias.

[@sannev8407]

@@alipanroosendaal9503 Not all rap songs do bad with the juries, btw this not a rap song only, it was a good song that combined cultural and modern elements that can be played on the radio, with a very well-executed performance, and the juries rewarded that. It's no sympathy. I mean, they placed Italy's rock song from 2021 4th AND Soldi also 4th, which was also kind-of a rap song. It's not THAT weird. with respect, you're talking nonsense. The jury score is the accurate final score given. Those 6 juries DID make agreements to vote on each other so it's only fair they were removed. And the points were not 'given' to Ukraine, but were aggregate results given, and the most part of them went to the UK actually. And it's not like those few extra point they got would have mattered, since they had a fair amount of points before the 5th place

[@markmd9]

Wow! I just find out Romania gave 12 points to Moldova and Eurovision banned that vote and gave nothing to Moldova. Also bans was given to the jury from Azerbaijan, Moldova, Georgia, Poland, Montenegro, San Marino. So I don't think there were technical difficulties with Romania or Azerbaijan connection.

[@afer4431]

Wow! Is this confirmed?

[@markmd9]

Yes, how can someone imagine Romania giving 0 points to a song sang in their language, with elements of their folklore and that's about a trip to their capital.

[@mgv12100]

I don't think it's the case with Poland. Their spokesperson with the Ukrainian flag pinned announced 12 points to Ukraine. I guess that how the jury voted

[@bryanng8599]

The EBU said that the 6 countries have voting irregularities and that's why their juries vote were overturned...

[@mikiathens819]

Guys SERBIA 🇷🇸 WiNNER can't you just see!!!

[@Dim4323]

Uk are now 16th time 2nd place

[@gindrobelgindrobel6660]

oh yeah, such a surprise, lol.

[@gavingerard2053]

Where was Sean ??

[@pajor77]

For years in my opinion many countries used this competition to demonstrate their political sympathies. I'm not talking just about Ukraine winning this year. Each year we see some countries giving the highest points to the countries they favor. It's a shame. And it has made this competition quite boring. Next year I'll just watch it for some good music, and will turn off when the political show begins.

[@grfreeman]

Is there an issue with Sean and Roy? How come they havent been with Matt in the press room? It is very strange that throughout the week the rest of the team chose to be away from Matt on those key events. Is there a split of the channel coming?

[@ESCunited]

This has been discussed for months on our channel. We were only given one onsite accreditation this year. The rest of the team was in Turin but they were unable to enter the press center unfortunately.

[@grfreeman]

@@ESCunited how come wiwi had 6 and u guys only 1? Is it a funding issue or connections?

[@gheorghii9441]

Moldova love 7 😢😢😢

[@danfrost3043]

Why goes Germany keep getting zero points?

[@Dim4323]

At least This one got a slither of dignity

[@axwleurope9519]

Chanel would have won in a regular year

[@България-ь6ш]

UKRAINE WON POLITEUROVISION! OH, WHAT A SURPRISE! HO HO HO! "Please help Ukraine, Mariupol. Help Azovstal now.", vocalist Oleh Psyuk called from the front of the stage after the band's performance. According to this statement, if PolitEurovision followed its own rules, the Ukrainians would have to be disqualified. But since Eurovision has been PolitEurovision for years, this could not have happened. Ten years ago, in an interview with "Metal Hammer", the great Ian Paice said something that applies in full force to what Ukrainians presented to PolitEurovision: "Technically, it's music. Musically, it has nothing to do with music!" However, when politics enters music (and sports - the upcoming Wimbledon), it does not lose politics. Last night's porn on PolitEurovision proved it!

[@catrionacolville2192]

Shut the hell up. Why did you even watch if you knew this going to happen? People can vote however they wish, and the juries saw the quality of the Ukrainian song.

[@catrionacolville2192]

Oh Matt, 4:43 did NOT age well.

[@blacq_4345]

Political shit !!!!!
