#eurovision2016
First of all, PLEASE stop talking about politics! This is a SONG contest, and it just so happens that Ukraine and Russia had both good SONGS this year.
Second, I really hate how betting has slowly ruined the fun in Eurovision. I was a betting favorite in 2009, and I hated it back then, too! ESC should not turn into a hype- and popularity-contest, and everyone should be given a fair chance. Belgium, Netherlands, Armenia, Spain amongst others suffered from being underrated in the betting. It will never be fair as long as there is betting.
Third, no reason for bitching about the voting system. It's the same 50/50 that has been for years since Moscow 2009. Last year, Italy was the televiewers favorite, but came 3rd because the juries didn't think the song was good enough.
Let's face it: The audience will always vote for the best overall impression, while the juries are there to make sure the good songs (which maybe can't afford an expensive show) get a fair chance too. It just happens that MÃ¥ns had both an amazing song and act. Good for him. So.. WINNER: Ukraine was both a viewer's favorite and a jury favorite because it spoke to all cultures. And believe me, this victory is VERY important for the future of Eurovision, as people now see that it's possible to win with a serious song. Obviously, I'm not against party songs or power ballads, but I think already next year will be much more diverse because of Jamala's success. Bravo!
TELEVOTING WINNER: Sergey won the most hearts, and that's the artist's dream! The music was typical Eurovision, but that's why I watch Eurovision! Also, having the richest producer and the most expensive promo campaign and show doesn't help if you don't do a great performance. And Sergey's performance was AMAZING! With a more updated song and some better (please) lyrics, you can definitely win again, both the jury and the people!
JURY WINNER: This is the best voice I've heard in Eurovision! Thank you, Australia, for sending us real quality!
MY WINNER: When all participants
