We also saw this with Alexander Rybak in 2018, who did fairly well despite having a bad song (he even won his semi). And still, 340 points from the jury gave her way too much of a lead for anyone to have a realistic chance, regardless of who's favored and not...

U see if in some country 10 million people vote finland and 1 million vote Loreen and the rest get less, Loreen would still get 10pts from that and Käärijä 12pts. Now how is that fair at all.

You could see how shattered Käärijä was because even though he scored the 2nd best televote result of all time it wasn't enough to win. And Loreen saw by the audiences reaction that Käärijä was the majority's favourite and she went from one of the most beloved winners to this... (though its not her fault that the jury's and public opinions are so different) Btw did anyone else have the impression that so many people left the hall before she performed as a winner? At least the front part looked half empty to me.

Still I am happy for them. :) And well my third favorite... I am german liking my own country this year. After this I just cried for half an hour. I really liked that song, voted for them in the national selection followed their journey, loved every cover they made from the other songs to appreciate the artists... and I really started to dream about a Top 20 result. I think I could even live with a 25th place. But that Playback got more points than them... You made me a little bit happy writing they don't deserve the last place ❤ However they still gained many new fans, have many sold out concerts and will go their way 😁 It is just... I am really worried that Germany will withdraw. I can easily live if they decide to get out of the Big5 and pump that saved money into the staging or the selection process. But withdrawing. I have the feeling we are on the right track (even being last we got this year more points than in 2021 and 2022 together). NOW withdrawing would really destroy many german fans here.

How did Czechia get few votes, hell even Croatia added spice to the Final like COME ON!! I mean congrats to Loreen but I cannot understand why so many people are being so hostile and being so hateful towards her….yes I get that she won a Eurovision already but at the same time there is no need to be hateful towards her. And yes I did get very upset when Finland ended up in second place, and in my opinion they should’ve taken the whole thing home, but it didn’t came to the point where I’m sending hateful messages towards Loreen.
