Norway win the popular vote. Scrap the juries

Racism, I presume.

Bullshit way of presenting the scores.
― Ned Caligari (Tom D.), Saturday, 18 May 2019 23:02 (four years ago) link
that was a very american idol-esque finish, complete with flickers of racism
― maura, Saturday, 18 May 2019 23:03 (four years ago) link
I like seeing the disparity btw the jury and public vote

Norway got 12 from UK voters! tt voted Iceland but her top 3 were the UK top three as well

The Australian entry from a few years back had a great jury score but the public only gave him 2 points & I absolutely thought that was racism

I don't think a black singer has ever won, right?

I thought Sweden won with a ... non-white singer?

I don't actually know what ethnicity she was though tbh.

Sweden track needs a better chorus. Fun backing vox though.
Britain giving max to Norway pop is reassuring tho

Loreen is of North African descent, I think. That's the only time a non-white person has won, right? Or does Jamala count?
― Tuomas, Saturday, 18 May 2019 23:13 (four years ago) link
Was listening to Loreen in the car today

I can't remember, has Norway or Sweden ever sent a Sami singer before to the contest? I know Finland hasn't.― Tuomas, Saturday, May 18, 2019 10:21 PM (two days ago)
