Her song Vidlik from last year was a banger.

I've never needed any validation, I'm Eurovision till I die.

Belgium is good! Azerbaijan also ok. Didn't mind UK. Unfortunately, I can see Sweden or Croatia winning. The Croatia and Romania were a little bit batshit, so there's some typical Eurovision.

Wonder who will get 12 points from Greece...

haha
― Odysseus, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:01 (six years ago) link
Croatia is getting very few points which can only be due to the singer's fucking horrible personal opinions. I think it'd score high otherwise.
― kraudive, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:01 (six years ago) link
portugal fuckin sucks
― ToddBonzalez (BradNelson), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:03 (six years ago) link

how do they assign specific numbers of points from the votes? it wasn't like this in my day
― kinder, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:30 (six years ago) link
I hate the viewers vote.

Everyone pissed off Portugal won?
I think it's quite good considering they've never won it. Crap song tho..

Great to see Hungary coming through at the end. idk how Europe decided Australia was worse than Spain but Austria getting nothing was very welcome.
I had Isaiah at 11/4 to finish in the top ten and he just about held on.
― Wag1 Shree Rajneesh (ShariVari), Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:55 (six years ago) link
oh right the voter points are still based on the ranking 1-12 points
― kinder, Saturday, 13 May 2017 22:55 (six years ago) link
I remember when I was first watching all the songs/videos two months back I was thinking that Portugal had the virtue of being thoroughly atypical compared to the rest of the field, if nothing else, and here we are. I do wonder how much the medical backstory played into a sympathy vote and all.
Great to see Hungary coming through at the end.
That one quietly grew on me over time.
My two real favorite results -- Belgium placing fourth (would have loved it to beat Moldova at least but I'll take the rest) and Spain getting so completely trashed.

his backstory and portugal's -- and he sang it really well and the arrangement was nice (very 50s strings, like an eartha kitt record or something)
i fear it will create a tsunami of badness next year, assuming the second korean war doesn't take us there first

As I said upthread, it reminded me of Harry Nilsson a bit, but it was a pastiche though, it kept threatening to turn into another song.
