Eurovision 2023: Final results live reaction

[@sashpet]

That kid is going to be a Eurovision genius! 👍🏻

[@twin3290]

I AGREE LOL

[@julyriver8851]

11:10 Your sweet kid singing "Due Vite" was beautiful ✨💙 With passion too and a good pronunciation I must say 😊

[@stellacambridge8951]

I was so rooting for Finland😢😢

[@escahmet7487]

Me too 😢😢😢

[@tosvus]

My heart is with Norway but since she didn't win I hoped for Finland.

[@RedTrance]

Awww the kid sung "DUE VITE" 🤩

[@o-b-1]

Typical eurovision: Sweden first, Germany last

Sweden was second in televote, not third. Blame the game not the players.

[@EclipseHighroller]

She came 2nd in the televote.

[@johnny11415]

yeah I felt exactly like you guys the differences between jury and televotes for so many countries was unreal obviously what the jury looks for it quite different from the public.

[@mr.meatsoup5639]

Yeah they look for "oh its Abba 50 year celebration next year, we have to give it to Sweden".

[@simar797]

spain the lowest televote feels so unfair 💔

[@lassam333]

I was rooting for Italy Israel and Croatia. Happy that Swden won instead of Finland.

[@fortuna7469]

💚from Finland. It was astonishing to see people from other countries to love Käärijä so much.

[@alexisinthelab]

Hello all the way from Canada! I was rooting for Käärijä with all my heart and was so upset when he lost! We all heard the public, everyone wanted him to win and he won the world! 💚

[@carlosfro9770]

the way we collectively gasped when Spain was given 5 points...

[@DimosESC]

Sweden came second in the televoting with 243 points. Third was Norway with 216.

[@MrRolle81]

Sweden and Finland were both good in my opinion, maybe Finland will win next year, everybody has there taste and there can only be one winner,and now we have jury and televote and thats the way things are, we cant forget that this is a moment for us all to unite with music, thats the most important thing ❤💚

[@henriikkak2091]

The result was rather divisive. That's a shame because the UK did a great job hosting. And there was a fair bit of musical and cultural diversity which I liked.

[@peterjacobsson3505]

she came second in televoting not third

[@brandnewrock8375]

Im so glad Finland didnt win, its a music contest, not a clown costume show ! Sweden does at least have a real song and a professional show !

[@frylineful]

I´m from Finland. Thank you so much for your support

[@-_YouMayFind_-]

Yes also because people get bored or Tattoo because it has been played way too much even our TV showed Loreen as the winner. As if they already knew and wanted us to vote for her as well to make her the televote as well to fit a certain agenda, but it could be me. In the end we are all being played. Because the juries has the power to place Finland low enough to give it no chance at winning. And they did. It was really suspicious that Sweden got that many points. It surprised many people actually. At this point I don't see the point of having juries because juries continue to vote for neighbors and they are putting the Eurovision in a position were they have power to decide how can or can not win. They removed the juries in the semi's so why aren't they doing that in the finals?. I wonder if they will next year.

[@aleksandereide7538]

i feel for you, just like the juries also screwed us in Norway in 2019 with keiino, being top 1 in the televotes and 6th overall

[@frylineful]

@@aleksandereide7538 i voted for you in 2019 so much. I was happy that netherlands won but i think you deserved it more. I still listen Keiino, they are amazing!

[@metulj]

So cute when your littleboy starts to sing italian song....and knows the wkrds...adorable...

[@Juhani96]

rules are rules. Even having huge majority of televotes doesen't mean victory in eurovision. Better luck next time

[@reader2012]

What a sad reaction. I get that your dissatisfied, but it wouldn’t kill you to say congrats but I wish it had been X. Her song was first in jury and second in televote, so clearly she was a favorite song globally enough that people weren’t willing to tank her results and still voted her second. It’s not vote for one, so results vary. Käärija should still be incredibly proud of his accomplishment, and his career can now explode if he wants it to. But both songs were very middle of the road elevated by a conceptual artist and an extremely charismatic Finn. Looking at the charts, Tattoo is also overall far ahead in streams on Spotify. They both deserved to win, but the social media push for Käärija in the last week before the show has created a toxic fan base that would rather tear down the Loreen than support Käärija who expressly said he doesn’t support that vitriol. It’s fine to be disappointed, but in the end it isn’t that serious, it’s a song contest. I personally think Czechia was my favorite, then Norway. But I’m still happy for Loreen

[@miketore6500]

i’m shocked how your baby is so right about every single country 💀💀

[@escahmet7487]

Finland ❤❤❤

[@guillermolledowolkowicz7085]

I see the same in all reactions. The biggest shock is with the points of Spain. The highest high is with the points of Finland. The biggest upset is with the points of Sweeden.

[@denispolonioroldan5107]

Loreen came second in the televoting, not third.

[@nocturne7371]

Sweden came 2nd in the televoting, not 3rd.

[@TumbleTower]

It was difficult to tell who placed where in the televote, unless you were logging the results in a spreadsheet and sorting it as they were being announced. I couldn't find the official ranking of the public vote online, even after the closing credits ended, and therefore had to make some guesses / assumptions in the messages I posted online before bed. I think it was sometime during Sunday 14 May 2023 daytime when I found the full ranking of the ESC 2023 Grand Final public vote, and concluded that Finland was first and Sweden was second.

[@In_my_own_mind]

I really like your family, all of you is fun to watch and listen to. Thanks for supporting Norway. Its the second time Norway has been screwed by juries. This year 3rd in the televote and 17th in the jury. In 2019 we won the televote and came 18th in the jury. The jury always overrate Sweden and destroy our chances. 😡

[@tdmegabro5144]

That kid reminds me of my younger self

[@WienerVL]

I have to correct you! If Sweden had 186 they would win because they have much more 12 points from the jurys!

[@mumblic]

At the end hearing "Peter van de Veire" in the background was very surprising to me. ;-))

[@henriz.l]

Imagine being the most popular song in 18 countries, getting 133 more televote points than the winner, getting second highest televote score ever ( I believe in this point system ) and having almost the whole audience screaming for you, and STILL not win!! Sweden is the first winner to not getting a single 12 point televote in any country.. 185 people counts more than millions of people who actually pays to vote.. No, not fair. And I liked Sweden’s song as well. But this was not right. The jury should remain, but with less power than they have now. Anyways, enjoyed your video, what a sweet family 😄

[@juliomoscoso2990]

Stop crying. What about when the televoting chose a winning song last year just because of a war… please next…

[@mr.meatsoup5639]

@@juliomoscoso2990 Nice mature comment there... You dont seem to understand what Eurovision is about. Its a celebration of music and love. Ukraine won and deserved it, the people chose them. Dont be toxic.

[@captainswedish6808]

no one from finland gave anny tel voting points to sween while we voted like hell on finland. Betrayl

[@Stonefeather53]

That was so unfair. I was rigged and took all the fun away.

[@sebastianniittyvuopio5017]

Pyrrhic victory 🇸🇪!

[@elifan06]

As a Swede, of course I am happy Sweden won but I do feel sorry for Käärijä as he almost beat Loreen

[@leduchiep]

I love your family and watch your reaction every year! I was rooting for Finland as every else and so disappointed when they didn’t win. The emotions on your faces when they announced Sweden points is not what fans should feel after Eurovision. EBU failed the audience this year.

[@-_YouMayFind_-]

. I voted for Spain and also my dad. It was unrealistically low. I think Spain shocked the most people with that result. I am really curious what will happen next year. I hope a country wins that hasn't won that much before. That would make it nicer for all these countries that barely win or haven't even won ever. That also makes it more exciting to watch when it's not certain who wins. I was already annoyed that my country on TV were so many times mentioning that Sweden was going to win and that it was the favorite. Sweden focusses itself on the juries. This is why this is happening. Sweden knows very well how the juries vote. That is the problem. Because most other countries don't do jury voting from other countries in their national selections as Sweden does. So Sweden always has an advantage so actually every country should do the same to make it fair with the juries at least. Or just remove the juries that is the simplest way to solve this. Because it happens quite a lot.

[@escfuego]

I’m from Spain, sadly I know that we will never send a traditional/cultural song ever again because europe doesn’t seem to appreciate our traditional music

[@blee1997]

Y'ALL need to face the reality of that year's competition. You have a contestant that was one of the most beloved in Eurovision history. How are you going to not feel the love Loreen brought to you. If Loreen is in Eurovision, its an INSTANT win for Sweden for Eurovision. Yes I understand you want Finland to win but LOREEN IS THERE.... YOU CANT GET AWAY FROM HER. There is a REASON why its 50:50 in jury and televote

[@knockonrock7013]

Hope you guys win next year in Sweden..that would be top

[@stoned8034]

portugal had a decent song, 1 of the only countries who sing in theyr language, and they just won 16 points?

[@henriikkak2091]

Yes. I wish to see more of that. It was a shocker that it wasn't appreciated.

Loreen was so much better than Finland in my opinion

[@In_my_own_mind]

It doesnt matter what you think. People wanted Finland to win (millions of people who voted), while 185 random people in the jury made Loreen win. 🤔

[@listonheinz9103]

@@In_my_own_mind It’s important to have a counter balance in the system, since a big part of the public can easily be fooled by cheap gimmicks and distasteful joke songs, like Finlands entry.

[@joniahti9714]

@@listonheinz9103 your opinion, remember that. only your opinion.

[@listonheinz9103]

@@joniahti9714 If the jury wasn’t there, the competition would be filled with variations of green goofballs running around using pink cha cha dancers as human horses. The song itself is almost as monotonous as a song can possibly be, no key change for the first 2 minutes, quite unbearable to my ears and probably to several of the jury members as well. When he stars to sing in the last minute, it isn’t pretty either. The jury is there to judge composition, vocal performance among other things and he should therefore consider himself lucky to be as high as 4th place after the jury vote. A more accurate score would’ve seen him mid table.

[@joniahti9714]

@@listonheinz9103 So thousands, maybe millions of people are wrong with their music taste, and you and your Jury is right? Everyone else has bad music taste. Loreen was third in Televote, with 240+ votes, is that wrong too? Or are you saying, what is right and what is wrong opinion to have? In my mind, Televotes are often quite accurate, what people like, and people will listen to. But im sure you hate Finnish entry, it shows, quite a lot. Chill.

[@artashs9062]

Unfortunately most European country, don't want to put politic aside, and let the show run smoothly the way it should be, Specially in England. The way Jury vote for Sweden, they wanted to make sure, she will win, why, because Sweden joined the NATO. Believe at beginning of Eurovision I knew, either Sweden or Finland will be winner. Both wanted to be in NATO. Even if Finland won, I wouldn't be this mad. Did you hear people's chants (cha, cha, cha) I know it is entertaining, but better to stop watching the result, because people vote really not matter. They playing with numbers. When he says all voted are counted and "validated", it means, yes, we have what we wanted. When you compare televote in semi finals and final, you will see those numbers don't ad up. There are much better songs and singers deserve to win. I don't want to be disrespectful to Loreen, but she had her chance to win Eurovision 12 years age, and she did. She shouldn't participate this year. Anyway whoever was instead of her, still she or he was a winner.

[@mr.meatsoup5639]

Sweden did not join NATO because they allow burning of holy books and other sacrilege in public. Finland joined NATO. Other than that, i agree with you. It really wouldnt have mattered who was Sweden's representative, Loreen just was the most believable choice. She might not have fully known what was going on, but her team certainly did judging by their reaction when they won(calmer than a lake on a warm summer evening).

[@lighthouse620]

Estonia is the worst song in the final??? Poland, Serbia and UK exist
