Ukraine didn't deserve the 400 and whatever votes they got but they were right about Serbia.

I fucken voted, I do it every year. It's actually a big deal where I live, I could lean out the window and point out 4 more voters

Just thinking about the fact that if Putin hadn't decided to invade Ukraine, the UK would have just won Eurovision.

The Ukraine's extra sympathy votes would've been spread out in a way that's hard to predict. A very small gap btw UK and Spain.

xp It's true! Also the Ukraine song is better, and not the sort of thing which would normally be in with a chance.

Just looking at the full vote breakdown now. The following countriesโ public votes gave Ukraine 12 points:๐ฎ๐น Italy ๐ซ๐ท France ๐ฎ๐ช Ireland ๐ฎ๐ธ Iceland ๐ช๐ธ Spain ๐ฌ๐ง United Kingdom ๐ฉ๐ฐ Denmark ๐ฉ๐ช Germany ๐ฆ๐น Austria ๐ช๐ช Estonia ๐ฑ๐ป Latvia ๐ฑ๐น Lithuania ๐ต๐ฑ Poland ๐ฆ๐ฟ Azerbaijan ๐ง๐ฌ Bulgaria ๐ฒ๐ฉ Moldova ๐จ๐ฟ Czech Republic ๐ฌ๐ช Georgia ๐ธ๐ฒ San Marino ๐ฆ๐บ Australia ๐ง๐ช Belgium ๐จ๐พ Cyprus ๐ณ๐ฑ Netherlands ๐ธ๐ช Sweden ๐ฎ๐ฑ Israel ๐ต๐น Portugal ๐ณ๐ด Norway ๐ซ๐ฎ FinlandMy beloved Moldova got 8 points from the UK public, proving my votes for them didnโt go to waste.They got 12 points from Romania and Serbia, which amuses me because I saw a comment on YouTube by an excited Serb talking about how the video distilled the experience of taking trains in the Balkans and when I ran this by my Serb mate she was like โunbelievably otmโ & โone time I saw a group take a suckling pig on the trainโ. Any other year, theyโd be reaping in the end of evening drunk votes but they still did very well!Obviously there were some Bizarre Voting Irregularities, Sharivari to thread etc

Turns out that you can loop the 32 bar acapella intro of "Stefania" all the way through the break in Madonna's "Hung Up" - the keys match perfectly.
(Fucking hell, wait till she realises. There'll be no stopping her.)
