Reacting with jubilation to their win at the Eurovision Song Contest. Amazingly after 2 years of scoring not a single point, the UK won the jury votes and was only pipped to second by the public votes overwhelmingly and quite understandably in support of Ukraine.
A great result all round - just heartbreaking that it's because of the current horrific war. It was just my sort of thing - a mashup involving traditional music and modern (rap).
We watched the whole thing for the first time in ages - couldn’t believe all the points we got from our European neighbours. Thought Sam Ryder was great but it was forgone conclusion Ukraine would win.
Wasn’t it a great night? A bit slow to get going & you had to endure some of the songs but great fun & so exciting at the end! Good that our guy won the jury vote hands down but that Ukraine won the popular vote!
Why are we drawn to watch this awful program? Most of the songs are dreadful, the scoring continues to be political & the Brits usually get a bashing! ( though not last night) but we still feel compelled to watch it! Even I stayed up!
I voted for Norway, first time in my life I made a vote but I loved that song! Ukraine are worthy winners (I wouldn't want it any other way), and although the UK did well, I couldn't stand the song, ooops! All good harmless fun :-)
Eurovision is always a good watch , live TV, some amazing costumes , songs ranging from bizarre to brilliant then Mika stealing the show with his intermission performance :)
