Yes, I know, I'm over 50, this isn't my first rodeo and I am not so far gone that I can't remember
I think a better way would be to announce jury results and then public vote from that country maybe? Rather than all the jury votes then all the public votes.
I dunno, just I don't find the current way particularly satisfying.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Also, just how po-faced do the respective juries look for how many votes they gave (or, didn't...) to Ukraine?

Well, that's the end of Ed Sheeran.
His songwriters will all be working for Sam now

What the fuck?
Well thank fuck I'm not "normal" then.
Do some of you never think how your comments could be hurtful?
AverageJoe
...
Oh shup up.
You're trying to start an argument over Eurovision ffs. Get over yourself.
Go and get butt hurt somewhere else.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Seriously? Point was made, counterpoint was made, that was kinda that until you came in flinging crap around.
Calm down, laddy.

I'm not trying to start anything, I'm having a conversation on a thread and you call me weird, it isn't me trying to have an argument.

Fair enough.

And counterpoint was completely right. Utterly crass for the loser to barge onstage.

I didn't mean for Sam to barge onstage, but it would have been nice to see him give all the hugs to the Ukrainians.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Well, now, if Sam had taken to the stage in full Chelsea kit, including shin pads, I might have to revisit my stance, for the sheer absurdity of it all.
Oh, wait, actually, given Chelsea's recent ownership, again possibly not a good idea either, really, even in the name of absurdism.

Nah. You step aside and allow the winner their moment. It's not about you now, it's about the winner.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Maybe if Ukrain's path to the stage had taken them past Sam and co.? Just offer a hand or hug or something as they pass?
AverageJoe
...
I know. But it would have been nice if he had raced to their table to congratulate them.
That's what I was trying to say.
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
Of course, metaphorically that's exactly what happened
Lord Camomile
Yipchaa!
As I say, totally get the sentiment, but even then it would almost certainly still be seen as Sam inserting himself, precisely because he'd be going over to them, him active, into their space, them passive.
Plus, can't get away from how it'd look for the UK act specifically, given how many view us courtesy of historical and current stuff.

It's ok, Europe loves us now, second most popular country in Europe!

Yup, finally get Eurovision to accept us again, and what are plenty of people doing on Twitter? Carping on about "oh, so it's a sympathy contest now?" and "the UK clearly should have won".
Back to nul points again next year, folks!

Next, the argument over who hosts the contest next year. Poland is keen, but I'm sure the BBC will make a claim.

I’m not British but have never been more upset about the UK coming second in a contest. The move a few years ago to split the vote 50:50 between judges and the public was a genius and much needed more, but in view of the results tonight perhaps it should be 75:25 going forward.
And perhaps review the impartiality of the judges in each country while they’re at it. The ‘death and taxes’ expression should really be ‘death, taxes, and Cyprus giving Greece twelve points every year in Eurovision’ (among a few other country pairings). Ukraine’s entry was mediocre at best ffs.

right after this urgent rest
Loved the contest again this year, all the haters can go fuck themselves as I loved sweden, U.K., moldova, greece, Finland and a few others I’m forgetting already. 
I woke up with Jezebell! screaming around inside my head 
No one else saw Måneskin lady’s wardrobe malfunction? More cheeky than the Spanish arses.
I don’t resent Ukraine benefiting from a sympathy vote, but it’s a shame when the best song doesn’t win a music contest, but that‘s Eurovision ain’t it?
I really like the unpredictability of the split jury / public voting system. roll on next year, can’t wait

This morning I discovered that Serbia's lyrics were actually about Meghan Markle! 
I figured it was just a Serbian phrase that sounded like "Meghan Markle"
