This guy deserved the trophy more than anyone else. He: - sang in his own language - blew everyone away in the arena - got the most points from the people by a significant margin - conveyed an awesome message; don’t be afraid of the world, embrace your individuality. What else could someone do to win? Loreen is talented, but Tattoo was no Euphoria.

[@tobias97erdt]

I came here to understand why so many people voted for a song and a stage performance that i found gross. Reading comments like this makes me guess: People celebrate this guy for embracing this freaky (and for my taste awkward) style and having the balls bringing it to the public. If you think he deserved the win you do you but 1 question I still have: how is the arena crowd singing the song an argument for the own vote? It's like : because others find it cool I find it cool too?
