The biggest crimes of 2019 - The Juries ranking most non English songs low - Hungary, Romania and Portugal not qualifying - Iceland’s and Norway’s Jury scores - Norway’s Camera Issue - Israel and Spain placing last and second to last with the Juries - Matthias broken Ear Piece in the Final - Hatari being mistreated by the Airline after the contest - Juries preferring mostly Pop Songs again - The Televoting giving only 7 points to the Czech Republic - Albania being 2nd in the running order of the Grand Final instead of Germany - Maruv - The Corruption of the German and Belarusian Preselections - Estonia’s Camera Issues

[@AAngerJ]

On the jury show, Norway’s entry suffered severe technical issues. The screen went in black, 3 times during the performance. As the only entry to experience this. The Norwegian Broadcasting, immediately protested, and requested that Keiino, should be allowed to sing once more, at the end. This was rejected “The performance wasn’t ruined enough!”. - A total disgrace. - Further, due to a so-called technical issue, with Belarus voting in the semi, all their votes in the finale were rejected. Norway lost further 7 votes. Then they copied the voting of a neighboring country. Coincidentally this country gave Norway zero, but Sweden 2. Just enough for Sweden and Norway to change final placing. Norway won by a landslide by the televote.

My biggest scandal is that the Big 5 don’t perform the entirety of their song in the semi finals. This gives their songs less exposure to the public/time to build familiarity ahead of the grand final. If you like statistically at when the UK for example started to do consistently worse in the competition it was after the introduction of the televised semi final stage.....

If you have lightning in a bottle then you're going storm it and also I'm here because I was gripped by those acts and many others on the night then.

My top 10 crimes of ESC 2019 in random order: - Non-English songs that stays in SF1 were underappreciated (Especially Poland and Portugal, but also Georgia & Hungary), and predictable songs like Belarus & Estonia go through instead 😢 - With the exception of Italy & Iceland, non-English songs that were in the final marked down by a big margin (especially Albania, Serbia & Spain) - Too many opening & interval acts that kinda put the focus away from the competing artists. And don't even start with Madonna's performance. - Of course, the whole MARUV and UA:PBC/Ukrainian government drama, resulting in Ukraine's withdrawal - Televoting crimes in the final: Czech Republic, Greece, Malta - Jury voting crimes in the final: Spain, NORWAY (televote winner), Sweden (again overrated by juries) - Possible inverted voting by the Czech (SF1) and Swedish (SF2) juries, resulting in Poland and Lithuania to NQ - Fatal mistake at the Belarusian AGGREGATED jury votes in the final, that made: > North Macedonia the jury vote winner, but wasn't so in the live show > Israel celebrating false 12 points from Belarus in the live show > Norway out of the top 5, replaced by Sweden - The new televote distribution method. I think the 2016-2018 method was already spot on. This was just cruel to the televote winner.

[@justarandomperson225]

My top 3 crimes: 1. Ukraine withdrawing (I loved their song!!!) 2. Belgium not qualifying 😭 the song grew on me and Eliot was so good! 3. Spain coming DEAD last in the final. WTH Public! That song was amazing

[@ilovebeingprecious]

OofGalaxyGacha Owo Eliot had weak vox in the SF which was sad

[@Stevehuw]

I’m loving Deban’s shirt!

[@Тём-Тёмыч-д5х]

The biggest crime is that Deban and William didn’t film their recap of ESC 2019

The UK was bland. It wasn't bad - just bland. That's why it didn't do well. Not Brexit. For heaven's sake... The biggest crime, for me, is the juries punishing Iceland somewhat. They might not have liked the song in general, but technically they did their job really well. They should have awarded their artistry higher than they did. Also, Norway... Goddammit, juries! We don't even have to talk about Albania...so great! Juries should have loved this. I loved all of these songs, but apparently the juries didn't. Spain doing so bad this year really, truly surprised me. For once, I liked it. I thought Portugal would do well with the juries but being hated by the general public. Surprised me that they were disliked in general. Was apparently very divisive I always like these videos, because you mention things that I'm not always aware of, so I can't really disagree with your list. :)

[@maltamonument]

Top crime: San Marino getting so many points by the public and Malta only 20 points (amongst others)

[@Samsilk_]

Say na na na

[@partylikeits1066]

Public votes can't be a crime, if people don't like something they don't like something. It's hard to say that's not fair

[@maltamonument]

​@@partylikeits1066 public votes always butcher countries like Malta. Thank God theres the jury for us

[@creature__]

San Marino qualifying was also a crime.

[@GabyvantHart]

Deban laughing about all the voting errors is honestly me, like is it really surprising

[@sunoolee9467]

The new way the televotes were presented this year was a bad idea. It didn't add anything to the show in my opinion in terms of drama and excitement and it robbed acts that did well in the televote such as Keiino and Serhat of their moment of glory. The EBU should bring back the 2016-2018 system.

[@meltrain]

When that system was used this year, it was earlier known that The Netherlands had won. Russia was fouth with the televote (244 points), Italy 3rd (253 points), Netherlands 2nd (261 points) and Norway 1st (291 points). So, at the second that the name Italy was announced (even before announcing tha actual score), everyone would know that The Netherlands would be the winner, because they already had more points from the jury and more points from the televoting. And yes, Norway wasn't announced yet at that moment, but they needed more than 400 points and everyone knows that that was impossible.

[@sunoolee9467]

@@meltrain most Eurovision viewers don't keep track of or pay close attention to the televote scores and how much is remaining so it wouldn't matter

[@meltrain]

@@sunoolee9467 That is true and if you did it this year (and I didn't), you 'd figured out that Sweden could only have 93 points. But that is not my point, I mean that everyone could imagine that Norway needed 400 points to win and that was just impossible.

[@tamcon72]

Am I the only one who has noticed that MARUV _can't sing_ ? She's attractive and has that BDSM lesbian persona that seems en vogue this year and top notch music production, but I doubt that song would have been a serious contender after an anemic live performance like in the finals in Ukraine. I do not think she should have been excluded from the contest, mind you.

[@Cassie_kitten90]

Crime #1: Kate Miller Heidke finished 9th. WTF Crime #2: Sergey Lazarev finished 3rd again Crime #3: The winner is predictable before the competition begins, based on journalism.

[@mrlazykoaxla9535]

You mean Australia should have been higher or lower?

[@Cassie_kitten90]

SzyMix 123 she should have finished higher. How did she go from 1st in her semi to 9th in the grand final?

[@vukanbozovic6105]

What do you mean predictable based on journalism?

[@meltrain]

Being the favourite with the bookmakers normally means that you are not going to win since people like to vote for theunderdog. And I agree, Australia should have been ranked higher and Russia should have been ranked lower.

[@Cassie_kitten90]

meltrain I’m okay with Russia because I love Sergey Lazarev. His song was amazing, even though his staging was meh compared to 2016. Kate definitely needed to be higher. Still don’t understand why Duncan. His song was okay but staging was lacklustre compared to Australia and even Switzerland

[@12321Gustav]

Didn't Norway file several complaints to the EBU because of a camera incident?

[@heidihval4915]

They did but it didn't help...;(

[@ivantan42]

heidi hval And guess who rejected it, Bjorn, the SWEDISH producer!

[@alberttjacobs3990]

Wow...number 9 really opened my eyes....thanks guys 😊

[@Alfred-F-Jones]

I am still so sad about Norway getting screwed by the jury and after the correction not even coming top five.

[@umetnikmina]

Wait, not even top 5!?

[@Alfred-F-Jones]

@@umetnikmina Nope, sadly the correction pushed Sweden into fifth and Norway into sixth.

[@nexahs1]

It is interesting how Michael Rice came 24 with public, 25th with juries, and last overall with a song written by John Ludvig, who himself came 2nd with juries and 9th with public. If John had sang bigger than us for Sweden it would have come higher. This isn't to say brexit has anything to do with it, it's the fact the juries are so corrupt. Norway 2019, Ukraine 2018, Russia 2016, Italy on so many occasions, etc.

[@jjj_8886]

It is clear that this is the most unfair and scandalous year of Eurovision. Just hope the next one will be much more positive! But still I'm thankful that it brought the new artists which I will be follow & listen to: Mahmood, Conan Osiris, Katerine Duska and perhaps Hatari). And thank u wiwibloggs for ur job, you are doing it very enthusiastic !! ♡ ♡ ♡

[@azaadsadiq1890]

Mark Inn In terms of songs this year was great but the contest and what surrounded it was MESSY

[@maedotm5658]

the way William looking at Deban is everything

[@Emilyfreeman234]

Poland and Lithuania should have automatic qualification if it turns out they both should’ve qualified instead of Denmark and Belarus

[@TH2714]

Yes!!!!

[@Cristo2893]

Instead of Denmark?, no way!!

[@olgap1440]

I'm happy Belarus qualified.

[@ximuta7707]

Am I the only one who thinks they should remove the jury votes entirely?

[@ScEd21]

For me, one of the biggest crimes is Zena being third-to-last 🇧🇾 ... And quite honestly Norway coming 6th while winning the public vote somewhat puts the existence of juries itself into question.

[@ScEd21]

I remember watching Eurovision back in the days of 2007 or 2008 when everyone was complaining about block voting etc., so people would want juries because then „music experts“ would rate the quality entries better than the public. But now what happens - in some countries the juries do even more block votes than the public (for instance Greece - Cyprus), and they tend to upvote generic pop songs in English. I just have doubts that the juries are really that independent and open-minded.

[@lala7701]
