The Portuguese table was my favourite apart from wiwibloggs this year! Everyone was so nice and friendly! I had to convince each and everyone of them that Portugal would win haha, they were so nervous and superstitious to think about a victory before the Grand Final! My love goes out to each and and everyone of the Portuguese press who are now still celebrating.

[@ninapinto7222]

Thank you!

[@Liiiiiooon]

Italy, Portugal or Bulgaria. ^^ The German jury loved Portugal. ^^

[@marialameiro4489]

That's amazing to see that even JK Rowling is supporting Portugal, as she wrote on the Twitter! Many thanks and she is a star, too!

[@gordianus7602]

JK Rowling lived in Portugal some years see the connections of harry potter and Porto (Oporto).

[@marialameiro4489]

I know that but doesn't interfere with her choice!

[@anddz]

Well thank goodnes we actually have what we call a a SONG in Eurovision which won i am sick of political voting sick of chart sounds and dance beat music in a Eurovision it is about the song and yes Portugal got it right a sweet ballad type old sound song which was the best out of all the countries .i am tired of the UK entering year in year out with rubbish and yes its mainly political for once i am happy with this years well deserved winner and yes to the moaners i am from the UK and fed up with pop dance crappy entries we do each year.. maybe some one might get their act together and learn.

[@ShankaraOm]

oh i'm with you against the dance beats music that is like poison to my ears! And thank you for supporting Portugal! Hugs

[@fionag1207]

SO HAPPY MOLDOVA GOT 3rd!!!

[@impossiblesoul]

Tom Schilling ik im suprised their are the dark horse of the year

[@ShankaraOm]

well everybody talked about the funny music of italy, but i guess the fun of it was only on the lyrics, because for me the whole song was not pleasurable, while the moldavia song was actually fun and catchy, so congrats for your 3rd place!

[@petark4855]

BULGARIA! 🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬

[@SPisme24]

[@nathancassidy981]

[@user-jv7lr2es7w]

Vote for Hungary

[@al258]

[@wielerkoning]

Best voices, Great story! They deserve to win!

[@t0mbiv]

Adored this video haha William you're too fabulous for words! It's interesting to see people's predictions back, some people nailed it! I was still convinced it would be Italy vs Bulgaria for the win, the tides turn quickly on Eurovision week

[@Wiwibloggs]

Thank you for watching! That tide does turn fast, doesn't it?!

[@justynap9017]

Poland 💋❤

[@jessicafairley6998]

Bulgaria to win 🙌 🙌

[@tenebrisangius7635]

Portugal

[@МариХуана-ф8ч]

Go Italy!

[@vojtav6636]

Bulgaria

[@hasmiko]

why is israel shutting it down ???????

[@escJackMK]

The government are splitting the broadcaster into two. And both the new broadcasters aren't on the EBU yet and they don't host the news so it may take some time to get an active membership

[@hasmiko]

the way the votes announcer said it, sounded like they will never be back

[@wohdinhel]

well it very well might be. it entirely depends on whether the Israeli government wants to seek EBU membership for their new network. they probably will but like escJack said, it could take a while to make that happen

[@madlad1391]

escJack UK does this mean that we could potentially have a new country enter eurovision in Israel's place?

[@escJackMK]

Maybe! Lebanon tried to take part in 2005 but withdrew because Israel was in the competition. So now Israel is out we might see Lebanon or Morocco in ESC :)

[@stratoincendus3869]

Was that Anja Nissen in that red dress when you talked to the Portuguese blogger? 😉

[@kurcop3]

Bulgaria must win, eurovision should not be a freak show.

[@HilaozaKalanall4mom]

Israel 🇮🇱 ❤️❤️❤️ Netta is amazing!!!
