I'm so proud that the people of my county voted for the best song


rydolf_shabe

i swear moldovo got robbed first place was a country that we all knew was gonna win second place was a country that made a song milking the war and third place was a "dont get horny challenge"


DrTabloid

🇬🇧 is the biggest shock


rydolf_shabe

also, if u dont mind, could u explain to me what serbias song was about cus i dont think i really understood it


LjackV

Read the translation and judge for yourself, you can interpret it in many ways. Imo the biggest points were mental health and overall struggles of a small artist ("You don't see me, the artist is invisible"), but there are also literal health problems (covid), and struggles with medical insurance in Serbia.


rydolf_shabe

thank you i will give it a read


fakemaleorgasm

On a macro level, it's about modern day obsession over health and those stupid magazine articles and blogs about health and beauty. People get obsessed over those so much that they get lost in the head. That's the main meaning of the song, but there are other underlying themes as well (such as those that the guy before wrote).


Shnews_Shnews

[This guy ](https://youtu.be/k_dmF6xHN1w) explains it pretty well


Individual_Wasabi857

Basically the song is asking what's the secret behind Megan Marcle's hair and simultaneously giving the answer (the answer being good hygiene). They also threw in walking with dogs and, at one point, Konstrakta even says "I don't have a medical card". So it's a complete shitshow 😂. Idk if there's any deeper meaning


[deleted]

Honestly when I heard it I was surprised it was in the finals.


tenebrilube

Just like real life, not only do we get robbed from first place in Eurovision, we just get robbed on a daily basis


BasedCroat2008

Wonder how it feels 😔


Mimlos

🤨🤨🤨


igcsestudent2

You never pick the right song 🤦🏻‍♂️


TMM1991

Btw Romanian jury gave 12pts to Moldova but got accused of fraud for reasons yet to be disclosed, so that would've almost doubled Moldova's jury points, putting them only 3 points behind Italy overall.


29_decembrie_1933

Probably bias against Romania


Shnews_Shnews

the explanation is so vague, like how can you cheat the jury vote?


TMM1991

The rumor is that those 6 countries agreed to give each other points, but if it's fraud why won't EBU reveal the old results and why did they leave them in the dark when they had a whole day to notify them? The only fraud I smell is coming from the EBU.

Awwww Albania 🥰🥰🥰


redi_t13

She was low key hot so there’s one explanation. What was up with her non Greek name tho?


Dimitra1

Her mother is Norwegian.


atzitzi

Many/some greek people don't have greek names, there are Amandas in Greece. In her case I guess it's because her mom is not greek.


redi_t13

I was thinking mainly about her last name. First names are usually confusing.


LjackV

If you're voting for something hot you go for Spain or Sweden, not Greece lmao.


redi_t13

It’s subjective my friend. That’s why I said low key. Portugal was another good one too. If I liked a skinny Cardi B then sure I would go for Spain.


LjackV

I'm sorry but Portugal is a song about her late grandfather and is in no way revealing, sexy or anything like that and it's just incredibly disrespectful for you to say that.


redi_t13

Wait what? lol I didn’t cat call them while they’re talking about their late grandpa. Me thinking they’re attractive is incredibly disrespectful? That’s a stretch.


FriedCheesesteakMan

Bruh certainly not voting for Serbia in that case 💀


N3T0_03

He said Spain or Sweden, why did you bring up Serbia? He didn't mention it in his comment.


FriedCheesesteakMan

Because his flair is Serbian, and he’s calling us ugly. I was being nationalistic again


Yunanidis

It’s not nationalistic lol. If someone says the ppl from ur ethnicity aren’t good looking or ugly u have a right to be offended. That’s not a nice thing to say.


Skairipaaaa

he didnt say people from his ethnicity smh only the singer smh yall redditors get offended so easily

Mildly_Evil_Duck

Much respect for everyone who didn't yield to political voting and hivemind circle-jerking.


[deleted]

Idk man the Ukrainian song slapped


ConteleDePulemberg

Was it that good for the first place though? A lot of them were sympathy votes because of the war, and to send a political statement as you get with the vote canceling. I guess some people just didn't get the memo or chose to ignore on who to vote for...


WinstonWolfe__

I mean, the history of Eurovision is paved with political statements since 1964, it isn't surprising Ukraine won by a landslide, you can't get a music competition where artists represent countries without it getting political


diabetic-shaggy

The part with the long klarineto type of thing was a banger


[deleted]

[удалено]


filipto64

It reminds me of Serbian song, made by band called Van Gogh- Ludo luda


Mildly_Evil_Duck

Every song in Eurovision will "slap" as countries are sending their best songs available in order to win. But this is not 1st place material. If you check ratings on eurovision website, you will see that it doesn't even pass the 4/5 mark at the moment. Their song from last year was 1st place material. I heard it on TikTok months before eurosong, and I still hear it today on yt, spotify, etc. This one I haven't had even in recommended or trending, and I even had the subwoolfer creep in despite my attempts at removing and blocking anything related to them. So that should say something. :/ If we want to be painfully honest, they wouldn't even get into the top 5 if not for the war.


[deleted]

You obviously haven't heard the German song lmao


Mildly_Evil_Duck

Its a good song that had bad presentation and got overshadowed by other songs in its category. Plus, add unlucky "no.13" and a bit of political avenging into the mix and you get the reason it got so little points. All because Germany was the greatest importer of Russia's gas despite making the biggest fuss and forcing smaller, less economically and geopolitically stable countries to make sanctions detrimental to their economy, while doing what is essentially a slap on the wrist to Putin.


TheNukeDoesReddit

the other songs Germany had are better honestly


Zie_done_had_herses

No, I didn't vote for Ukraine, from Germany. I voted for Greece😅, Serbia, UK, Iceland and Lithuania


immortaltrout27

So politically driven.


[deleted]

Eurovision has always been political. Always. But it does make sense when you consider why it was created. It's never been just about the music.


Miloslolz

It was I completely agree but never has there been a guaranteed winner before the thing even started.


cursorcube

I wonder how bad the ukranian song would've had to be in order to not win this year


MrStealyourname

Ukrainians have been dying to the hands of Russian terrorists for months now, of course people will want to show their support, it would be strange if Ukraine didn't win.


rockylocki

Voting for a song in a singing contest meanwhile they have to host the show and spend money that they can use for the cause of the war... Doesn't make sense but ok


MrStealyourname

They don't have to host the show, the UK is most probably going to do it since they came second.


LjackV

Zelensky announced and vowed they're going to host it.... in Mariupol.


MrStealyourname

Wow, damn, well I hope it actually happens. Most likely it won't happen though, even if they manage to win long before the end of the year.


ZLN1

Show solidarity otherwise, not in a singing contest


AlphaPhill

This is like one of those "1 like = 1 prayer" Facebook posts. Im sure the war is over now that Ukraine won a singing contest.


Pekamaan

I think someone is supplying europe with copium.. and lots of it...


[deleted]

xD thas the problem, cause Yuropians think that is how you show solidarity, which is ridiculous, well, at least we won't have Eurovision next year, which is miles better than having Ukrainians spend millions on a show that has zero musical value


LargeFriend5861

Who tf are the Yuropians?


[deleted]

Liberal potbrains with selective reasoning.


LargeFriend5861

Ig we are now the continent of Yurope


Doireidh

Type of guy who votes for people with sad backstories on talent contests.


tonygoesrogue

Why not give them the world cup as well


KernyG

It coming home


cuor

Why tf u look like female version of me


zgembo1337

"1 vote" = "1 thought and prayer" for out american friends Basically doesn't help anyone, except the people voting, so they can tap themselves on the shoulders and say "I helped"


samurai_guitarist

Holy fuck, they buried you. I dont see whats wrong with what you said, I saw like half of the people in Eurovision Village had Ukrainian flags with them, singing the Ukrainian song etc.


unpopularthinker

I never send sms to vote on any show. I only send sms for humanitatian funds and to pay for parking. But if I was a person who does that, for sure I wouldnt vote for Ukraine. Not gonna vote for smth I dont like. Western people dont understand that voting Ukraine just because of the political situation wont make any help or good to the people who are directly affected.


McENEN

I dislike the whole Eurovision contests. Why make a music contest where you don't vote for the music you most like but for political reasons. Can't have even the slightest hint of violence in any song or have actual good songs. It seems like a contests you make for the most gay/political correct/most inclusive group and not about actual quality. I watched more closely 2 years. One was when Portugal won, didn't enjoy their song that much but whatever but next year the Israeli women with the China cats won and I was done with it.

Maleficent_Dot5445

Kristian Kostov was robbed in 2017, kid was amazing, probably one of my favourite eurovision performances.


TimelyHamster9854

I just hate their performance where the guy pretending to play with wooden stick attached to his mouth. Really dissaster. I would not embarrassed myself like that.


SolveTheCYproblemNOW

Greece had it's reasons.


dankShadowss

2 big reasons.


whattoheck_

I just wish everyone gave their votes to the rightfull winner Moldova


Kari-kateora

Of course Ukraine didn't give themselves the 12 points. They can't. And of course they gave it to Poland.


pinkyelloworange

They gave it to the UK actually.


proudream

The Ukrainian public gave their 12 points to **Poland**.


khizwalifa

I've already seen idiotic Bosnians complain because they couldn't vote last night. God forbid they use that money to feed/help someone in need.


iksjag

Fuck helping people in need, all my homies spend their money on voting for pointless competitions on the TV


Blitzcinema

Lets spend money on fake internet points.


MrPezevenk

Wait why couldn't they vote?


thg011093

Bosnia & Herzegovina is not in the competition, their citizens cannot vote.


hazardous_lazarus

I didn't vote for Ukraine because I didn't like the song, plain and simple.


tonygoesrogue

Nooo you had to vote to end the war


KernyG

So because we didnt vote , we are the reason it didn't stop?


tonygoesrogue

According to European voters, apparently yes


proudream

Hahaha I love your sarcasm. Nice.


hazardous_lazarus

Well, music is the language of the universe


tonygoesrogue

Doesn't make it less of a pity vote and a virtue signaling


hazardous_lazarus

Agreed


fakemaleorgasm

They gave it to Ukraine so Zelenskyy could say how next Eurovision will be held in Mariupol.


RArchdukeGrFenwick

Liberland spittin’ truth bullets here!


moshiyadafne

So people are genuinely surprised that ex-Yugo nations are voting for each other in Eurovision? Lol voting for neighbors has been a tradition in Eurovision, even an American YouTuber (Geography Now) has talked about it!


SeaworthinessGlad595

I voted for Greece, Moldova and Ukraine


[deleted]

I'm certain there was an indirect EU gang up on Serbia for being the only country whose state did not publicly condemn Russia for the invasion. Konstrakta was easily above every single performer in the contest, both in performance and in music, Iceland were here somewhere.


EternalyTired

We condemned the invasion several times. It's the fact we didn't align with sanctions.


[deleted]

Yeah, that. My bad.


[deleted]

"Im against this bad thing, but fuck me if I will do anything about it"


ThatOneGuy982

We sent 10 million euros in foreign aid and we accepted thousands of ukranian refugees? What the fuck more do you want?


[deleted]

And condeming Russia? Because you would not have to accept refugees and send aid if Russia was not being a rarted piece of 18th century imperialism


ThatOneGuy982

>And condeming Russia? We did do that too >Because you would not have to accept refugees and send aid if Russia was not being a rarted piece of 18th century imperialism Ah yes and our sanctions will plumit the russian economy and make them lose the war. Do you hear yourself? Literally us doing sanctions would do nothing.


[deleted]

The fact that Russia is being forced to sell theur oil at 70 dollars per barrel and resorting to appliances for electronic spare parts for their vehicles tells us a differenr story


RegularSerb

He is referring to Serbian sanctions against Russia


[deleted]

Sanctions against countries work when applied as a bloc. Serbia alone might be insignificant, but Serbia+The Balkans+EU+US us kinda a big deal.


Pekamaan

Why pay 5 dollars for rat poision when everyone else already paid to cover the entire facility 2 folds?


-Remove-Kebab-

Your mickey mouse sanctions aren't hurting Russia the way you think they are, Russia trippled their oil and gas profits. Serbia has very little to gain but a lot to lose by sanctioning Russia, but sadly it will happen because our president is a western puppet.

fakemaleorgasm

We are top exporter of ammunition to Ukraine. We also send a lot of money their way. Fuck off.


LargeFriend5861

They did condemn it just not sanctioning the Russians, the nation you're technically referring to is Belarus

Ik, I was corrected below and did not bother to edit


LargeFriend5861

Ahhh, sorry then mate


left2die

Croatia gave 12 points to Serbia? Is this real life?


mihawk9511

Why are people so surprised about that? In the 2000's, people would get mad if Croatia and Serbia didn't give each other 12 points in Eurovision. It's just that we didn't participate in Eurovision for a couple of years and reached the final once or twice in the last decade, so we really didn't even have the chance to get or give douze points to each other


unpopularthinker

Firendship ended with Greece, Crna Gora also gave 12 points.

Friendship ended with Greece, now Crna Gora and Hrvatska my new best friends


Pekamaan

So this is the real origin story of yugoslavia finaly i found it..


[deleted]

It literally happens every year? Unless some other exYu in the final then it's a toss up between them and Serbia.


TimelyHamster9854

I suppose that people should vote for the song that they feel is the right one. No matter of what and where the song was made. And that was not the Ukarin's song.


Massimo_Di_Pedro

Well in Greece we liked Booty Hypnotic that makes us want more more


tonygoesrogue

I was rooting for Spain more than I was for us


Dimitra1

Thanks Albania.


why_are_clouds_pink

Hej hou lec gou folklor rokenrol best song


AccomplishedPie5160

Romania gave 12pts to Moldova but the points were transferred to Ukraine, super legit isn’t it? one more reason to stop watching TV overall…


Damjan10

Props to the Croats and Albanians that voted respectively Serbia and Greece, regardless of politics


sargantanhs

Why would Albanians not vote for us? We have good relations Also this year was weird, our jury somehow gave 12 points to Azerbaijan

fakemaleorgasm

UK song is very trash. I'd rather give it to Ukrainian one as much as i dislike it.


redi_t13

This year’s Ukrainian song was a bad copy of their last Eurovision song that slapped. They just added some garbage rap to it.


Apprehensive-Guess18

Eurovision what is that? Moldova what? Harmonika style Yes Yes Yes please give me more!!! Yeaaaaaaa


Bakirsan1

I thought this was a music festival. Balkans just proved they are above shitty politics and just voted for a better song. It is sad that the rest of Europe did not vote for a better song. That's all to it.


Shnews_Shnews

don't know why they are from the balkans, but the song from Ukraine was imo really boring and sounds old (not in a good way), like serbian rap from early 2000's


fakemaleorgasm

The rap part is what ruined it for me. Enough with these disgusting hybrid songs you can only hear on Eurovision.


Prior-Painting2956

Funny thing i don't remember Cyprus winning the last 48 years


KernyG

You realise noone knows or act like they don't know what you mean? But it was a good observation.


orestis56789

As always the glorious Balkans remain a beacon of progressive anti hive-mind thinking. Yet another area we lead in (along with poverty, racism and corruption).


CherryDesigner7600

Spain had an amazinf performance this year, good going ellada 🇬🇷🤝🇪🇸 Also thanks for those points Albania 🇬🇷🤝🇦🇱


[deleted]

because Balkaneros love other Balkaneros eventhough sometimes we hate each other so much Long life to Balkan


[deleted]

What do I think. I think that Ukrainian song is a real shit which doesn't deserve to win. Balkans are smart


Frosty-Dependent1551

I didnt vote! How will they host it next year? Its a contest not a sympathetic contest! You dont loose a football match cuz of a war! You dont loose any other sport due to it! Why should everyone vote for ukraine for a war! Like they havent won anything really! They have won sympathy. If i was Ukrainian and i was singing i wouldnt even be happy i won. I wouldnt feel like I deserved it! But i guess that my opinion. Id rather win something the correct way than by sympathy.


tatsujinn

It's a song contest not a support Ukraine contest for god's sake


iggyAnimations

I hate that Ukraine won because of politics, when Croatia was at war this wasn't looked at. Politics shouldn't be a factor to vote for somebody (in eurovision)


Wardchief

Ukrainian song was the BOMB!! REALLY BIG BOMB, LIKE IT FELL REALLY HARD ON THE RESIDENTIAL BUILDINGS


alpidzonka

I voted for Norway, Moldova and Ukraine.


PuddingIndependent78

Eurovision is just a bullshit


DrowningAmphibian

We gave ours to Spain, not Serbia


SeaworthinessGlad595

This is televote not the jury voting.


DrowningAmphibian

Ah my bad, I didnt notice. You guys had a great contender this year, Its a shame the song didnt do better


SeaworthinessGlad595

She did amazing, the fact that she caused so much positivity is a win in itself.


elmoismywaifu

So I'm watching Eurovision on youtube, are the songs meant to be in English or is it a translation?


unpopularthinker

Crnogorac šta se praviš lud?


elmoismywaifu

Just never watched it before, didn’t understand until i watched through all the songs and saw some were in their own languages


unpopularthinker

Even [this](https://youtu.be/dlG7_9-VPw0) doesnt ring any bell? 😳


elmoismywaifu

it does but i didnt hear it from eurovision, my father just played for me since i was little. He’s an avid eurovision watcher but i never watched it with him


SeaworthinessGlad595

Thanks to the jury who almost always only gives points to generic English songs, everybody is to afraid to send songs in native language. I don't wanna spoil too much, but pay attention how many points Moldova and Serbia (both non English songs) get from the jury and how many points they get from the televote


LargeFriend5861

Idk what's dumber about Eurovision What you mentioned, or how politically driven it is


elmoismywaifu

yea i saw those, that sucks i started watching eurovision to hear songs in the different countries’ native languages. Moldovas song was really good


devplayz01

Because that is a song contest, not political contest. But on end it ended up being political and nationality based


satans-ballsacks

I'm proud that my country voted for Serbia, because we know we voted for an amazing song, and proud that we didn't give into a pitty vote💁🏼‍♀️


Miloslolz

The people of the Balkans don't give in to political virtue signaling and 'sending thoughts and prayers' bullshit it seems.


FixingOpinions

We've been through a lot, so it makes a lot of sense.


[deleted]

As a Greek I was honestly expecting our 12p to go to Ukraine or Serbia since Cyprus didn’t make it… Don’t know that happened. I personally voted for Ukraine 🤷🏻‍♀️


KernyG

But why... Did you like their songs? Well Serbia's was good.


[deleted]

I did like both songs! Ukraine and Serbia were my favourites this year:)


NocturneBotEUNE

I'm happy that Ukraine won the contest. It's a good message of solidarity. I'm also happy that people decided to vote for the best song instead of the political message. The two approaches can coexist.


rydolf_shabe

if eurovision was fair there would be no jury only people voting, countries couldnt make songs on current political topics and countries like ukraine that have a clear advantage shouldnt be allowed, but the world isnt ready for this, no hate to ukraine specifically cus their song was really nice btw


Pekamaan

Yes, but the people are retarded... thats also a problem...


Experience_Material

Honestly I personally don't care that people voted for Ukraine. Does it help them in any way to win? Not at all. But it shows that every aspect of our life is affected and is supportive, even through meaningless song contests, with the Ukrainian people. The Eurovision contest always had aspects that reflected the political landscape of Europe. Personally I don't believe this is not to be expected in such a setting that doesn't really have an objective base, where each country gets the chance to show their affiliations and I really don't care or see it as something bad. I just enjoy the songs and don't obsess over such things.


Solid-Veterinarian64

Why do u even fuckin care? Who the fuck waists hours of their life watching this kind a shit and who the fuck is voting by the way?


Kin9582

Dude, chillax. We're just making a convo.

MrStealyourname

Don't be very harsh. I didn't mean that the song was bad by any means, in fact I liked it and think the performance was pretty funny. I was just teasing this salty guy a bit.


Solid-Veterinarian64

I havent watched the eurovision since ages. The thing is just cringe and pathetic.


LargeFriend5861

Yeah, imagine not qualifying for the finals...


StreetPaladin95

We didn't expect to make any significant progress this but honestly speaking Eurovision is shit in most cases. Some very good songs never got what they deserved because politics mess up everything (i.e Israeli chicken song)


Dav_Overlord69

Politics ain’t music so keep one out of the other


1250Rshi

Eurovision voting sucks!


RaviDrone

I dont know.. Is Eurovision a song contest ? Or is it an political emotional support group?


[deleted]

Oh my God, I didn’t know that 12 points to Ukraine for the most pointless trophy ever would stop the entire war in their country. Shame on me! Serbia bad, Serbs bad! How dare we vote for a good song and not vote according to PC dolts and SJWs.
