I feel sad for Croatia but also so incredibly proud for Marko and his incredible work! He achieved Croatia’s best result EVER! And William gurl, YOU GOT ME AT THE END! 😂😂😂
Nemo didn't break the code, he broke the trophy!!! Heaven shows us that the trophy does not belong to him! Only 5 th by puplic votes! And only 4th by puplic votes in the 2. semi final! Not deserved winner!!! Nemos voice is amazing! But not the song! It's a song contest not a Singer contest!!! Then the name of the contest is wrong
So, today Croatia showed love for Baby Lasagna by showing up in thousands on main square in Zagreb to welcome him home... This is what counts for me more than any trophy.
@@leogrigori4729 Swiss aren't that much into Eurovision as other nations like Croatians are... Switzerland has a lot more things to worry about than Eurovision 🤣
So happy to see some people celebrating even when their fave lost. I wanted Belgium, and then I was kinda getting on the Dutch train. In the end Switzerland was my winner but I loved Baby Lasagna and I definitely feel for all of Croatia that was so invested in getting that first win. It was an exhausting season and I'm just glad that the top three are so good. And how about that Ukrainian staging, so stunning.
@@frostflower5555 Lol, bro, you've sought out a wiwiblogs video to complain about how you think all of eurovision is garbage. How sad is your life??? Pull yourself together man.
Isn't it quite hilarious in hindsight how so many were bashing Latvia for barely scraping into the Grand Final and "stealing" some other country's place whereas Latvia was 7th in the televote in the Semi and Norway was the one scraping in 😅✌️ By the way, absolutely loved Norway and happy they got in but it just shows that sometimes bookmakers and our "narrow" thinking of Eurofans, about what the average viewer might like, do not always fit. HAPPY 16TH PLACE, DONS AND LATVIA! 🥳👍🇱🇻🎵
We should just be happy for both, both had amazing performances and were rewarded for it. Eurovision only has 1 official winner, but in practice there can be many more. Last summer I went to a festival and got to see both Go_A (finished 5th) and Dadi Freyr (finished 4th ) live on stage. Both artists have seen their careers blossom even though they didn't win or come even close to it. I'm confident that Baby Lasagna will be just fine.
Isaak has an amazing voice, he's clearly talented, it was a good song. Staging wasn't my favorite; he had this entire video led screen at his disposal and didn't make use of it... and what did it symbolize ? Him sitting in a chair... If he's "on the run" then maybe he should ACTUALLY be running, no ? 🤔 Sometimes people don't vote for your country because mostly you send boring songs 🙄 and maybe last year people thought LOTL was a joke entry just like Jendrik, so they didn't vote for it, I guess ? 🤷♀️ (I voted for them 4 x)
So glad for that, Isaak had a great voice and sang with passion, the song was not the strongest but decent enough and wouldnt deserve one of the last places that Germany (sometimes undeservingly) gets.
THIS! Nobody was rooting for him, even the Germans were still mad. But I'm so proud of Isaak, he was amazing, very resilient and didn't care what other people thought about him.
As a german that does make me happy 🙂 I wish we had more public points though….basically because I hope that Isaak can make a real career out of it. But that only works, if the public likes him….they buy the music.
I'm so proud of Marko! Second place is great and Nemo is a worthy winner. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sad. 😿 But when I see Isaak with his 12th place, I feel better. 🙂 Greetings from Germany!
What's the difference between 2 and 26? It's not a win. He lost thanks to cheated jury votes and Mr. Metler was the only one to win, being only 5th overall. Fortunately, Eurovision doesn't count anymore
I'm so heartbroken for Marko, but I'm also so proud of him and so happy we got to meet him and enjoy his music. ❤ 🇭🇷 I really wanted a first-time winner this year! Nemo is a worthy and very talented winner, but after two years of having the jury winner snatch the trophy by a huge margin, I'm not sure I'd want that to happen again next year.
I honestly don’t think Croatia could even bring anyone better. He was everything I think and its hard to even bring anything better then that. I guess we just have to choose someone LGBTQ next time 🤷♀️ idk how else cus the performance was amazing the song is great and catch and a very peoples song.
@username_creates6991 No, LGBTQ is not the secret to gain jury votes. You definitely don’t need to belong to that community to get public votes (could be an obstacle for some people). The jurys are professionals from the music industry and they evaluate the musical qualities and as some of them are from radio stations, maybe also the radiofriendlieness. Switzerlands song was musically more challenging than the Croatian one. The range of Nemos voice is definitely bigger than Marcos….and so on. That doesn’t mean a wide range alone helps (last year you guys sent a group with an amazing range and a really weird song…. I 😊). I loved Croatias song choice this year, but I feared from the beginning that it would not get so many jury points, because the musical arrangement is not so challenging. If Marco would be homosexual or whatever, it still would not make a difference.
The jury didn't "snatch the winner." The juries have *_ALWAYS_* played a role in who wins. We're just seeing what that role is by _how the scores are announced._ If the EBU flipped how scoring was announced, having each country give the televote-details and then do a in-reverse-order reveal of jury totals, people would be complaining that the "televote is corrupt!" when their favorite act didn't win.
He will be fine, he is such a down to earth guy that he is aware that he is not the greatest singer there. He will receive a huge reception on the main square in Zagreb today because Croats adore him. I am sure he will have a great music career. When once asked if he prefered to win Eurosong or have a concert at Wembley, he said "Wembley, of course" without hesitation. He is so happy that he won the televote, that is what counts to him.
@@ImBojackk Israel got second most televotes. So a lot of people did want Israel to win. It was mainly the pro-establishment (jury, and the brainrot people) that were opposed to Israel winning.
I don't have anything against Switzerland, I kinda like the song, it is catchy, especially the woah-oh-oh part, but the same situation from 2023 happened - Juries undermining the public favorite. Nevertheless, it is Croatia' best result since our independence and we are very proud of Marko!!!❤❤❤ And I am very happy to hear so many people supported Croatia this year. 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷And like Marko said, it's public that matters, because it's not juries who will be coming to the concerts in the future.
Hopefully you guys get a fully crowded Eurovision afterparty in June 🎉 but congrats on winning televote. We all know the true winner, just like last year (even in Eurovision Village Käärijä from last year still draws massive crowd)
The juries didn't "undermine" anything. The juries just reflected the tastes of their C-Suite Music-Industry-Corporate Masters, who go for whatever makes them see💰🤑. If we went by just the televote, or if the televote was announced via individual points at the beginning, you'd all be complaining about how political the televote was and how good musicians were constantly trashed due to politics. Look, this was a *_strong_* year, with lots of Excellent Musicians from across many different genres. 4 songs from this year I will be playing well into the future, and that includes BabyLasagna and Nemo. Personally, I want the current juries replaced with past contestants [let's say, from no earlier than 2 years prior], with a very rigid set of scoring criteria by which they assign points. I also want the EBU to start _requiring_ every national broadcaster to display captions of the lyrics _in the broadcasters' native language_ during the performance. That will level the playing field when it comes to acts in their own language.
It would be bad if one jury diverted the public vote but this time it was different. Outstanding and decisive amount of juries voted for Switzerland and trust me, I'm also music professional and I knew this song is going to win 100%. How smoothly they went for at least 5 absolutely different genres yet they achieved one big assembled, complete and the most original piece Eurovision ever had. It never happened to me before that I knew the future winner for sure.
Thank You Wiwibloggs, spacialy William (who ist wearing btw t-shirt "Branka" from Baby!) for all support and wonderful interviews all around this Euro journey! Love & hugs from Zagreb, Croatia!
Overall, satisfactory results despite the tumultuous year. My winner was Baby Lasagna, but at least he got first in the televote, and that's the most important fanbase and career longevity-wise. Nemo was also wonderful, and even though it's 2023 all over again, I can sort of understand why literally everyone learned towards that. It was unique, energetic, and showed off versatility. And Voldemort didn't win in the end! That's super important!
Interesting how Croatia was so marginalised by jury. Some, like Spain and Belgium gave Baby Lasagna 0 points. 0... points. For a song that took world by the storm. One has to wonder what is going on.
Yes, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Norway, and San Marino too. 0 points. Georgia gave 1 point, Czechia 2, France 2, Albania 3. I just wonder what are the juries (composed of professionals at least in theory) taking into account? Is it only technical ability of the voice? Composition? Catchiness? Staging? Interaction with audience and performative qualities? Charisma? What is it? Its like juries are on a level of primary musical school and listening to voice only. Eurovision is a competition of performances, not only voices. 0 points is just ridiculous when his performance is compared to other performances. A big shame. But in the end, maybe Croatia dodged a bullet by not hosting next year. I’m just sorry for many countries not being able to afford participating in Switzerland. And also, Croatian jury not giving any points to Switzerland was a dick move and I’m sure BL would never support that choice. I understand that they were scared that this will happen but still, they had the duty to vote at least partially fair.
Thanks to the audience for the clear message about who the winner is (Swiss song is in 5th place according to audience votes). But even more thanks to the jury of almost all countries, you also sent all parents homework with several tasks: 1. Explain to the CHILD that the world is not a fair place 2. Teach him that a MINORITY like that Mysterious Jury is loud and has enormous influence 3. You don't need to be the first to be a winner
My personal winner is also Croatia. Beautiful lyrics and strong performance! But Switzerland is also high up there on the list because of vocals, the sic beat and their light show at the end was my fav for the night. This was indeed a strong year.
it speak volumes actually about the Nemo! Bambie, Marina, Iolanda and Slimane all come to cheer Nemo, it obviously speaks about the quality of the person Nemo is.
Gutted for Norway. It was definitely NOT the worst song this year. I thought their performance was breathtaking. Should have been on the left side of the scoreboard imo. But So happy for Switzerland! And also Croatia for getting such a great result (although I understand they're disappointed for being so close to winning). I am also sooo happy for Ireland finally bringing something amazing to the show, and a great end result :)
The fact that Baby Lasagna "only" came third in the jury vote is fine. BUT the fact that Nemo received so many points from the juries when there were so many other good singers is more than unrealistic. You have to consider one thing: Baby Lasagna came 1st and 3rd while Nemo came 1st and 5th and yet Nemo wins the competition. That's very weird!!!
@@dasmysteryman12 Good point! There must be transparency within the jury voting and the criteria by which the performances are judged must be standardized and binding for all participating juries. The selection of jury members must also be based on standardized criteria and procedures, if they are not already.
There were many good singers there. Maybe because it is a song contest. And (1+3):2=2 and (1+5):2=… wait…what!?! Not 1??? You genius just broke the code. Oh oh oh.
i think disqualification of Netherlands impacted voting and final outcome would've been different because some 12 points to Switzerland would've ended up on Joost Klein's points count. and winner would be different
I think the Netherlands would have taken televote points from Croatia, as Nemo was a bit different comparing to them, more a "vocal-talent". Nemo was definitely the winner of the juries, and it seems to be that the jury always wins. :/ They have too much power.
Yes, agreed. Very strange. But I think we must stop to think of the Eurovision as a SONG/MUSIC contest. It is more of a SHOW contest. The show part seems to count more than the quality of the music in it self. I would love if it was mandatory for all the participants to present their song acoustically and unplugged on stage.😂
Ja se strinjam. Sem Slovenka in je res lahko sram naso zirijo😝😝. Vendar, ce v ziriji sedijo taki clani, ki bili cisto zadnji na eurosongu drugega ni za pricakovat od njih. V Sloveniji nas vecina glasovala za vas in to steje. Klinc gleda te vse te zirije🤣🤣🤣🤣. Vazno, da ljudje skupaj drzimo.
Congrats to Croatia. The real winner of ESC 2024❤. Winning public vote in the hardest year ever for public vote. But sadly we still got the same results as last ESC
@@19LAKing94 lmao not at all. People voted them 5th. I repeat 5th. I agree they are top 5, but not even close to first, the first and winner was our Baby Lasagna
My heart is broken.💔😿 Literally. The Serbian and Cypriot jury were the only one with balls, the others bent down. Marko is the true winner, both as an artist and as a human being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your immense love and support. Baby in our hearts forever. 😻❤️🔥
Congrats to Nemo, but my heart has been shattered into gazillion pieces - really not trying to sound overly dramatic. I felt it in my bones from the get-go that Baby Lasagna had that magic eurovision sauce...certain rules, such as jury vs televoting percentage, should be seriously revisited, just sayin`... the world meowed back!!!
With my respect to Switzerland, it is another year when I am very disappointed by the results because the actual winners never will win. I am massively against jury because let’s accept that ESC was never about the vocals but the emotions that we get and Croatia was just amazing. It was obvious that jury did not want Israel to win but just have a courage and remove the country out of the competition. Otherwise the results really looked very made up as it is hard to imagine a case when a country can receive 300 points more from public than jury. And overall the big difference between the jury and televotes is not always fair. CROATIA THE ACTUAL WINNER TO ME😢🐈 Congratulations to Nemo who is a good artist 🎊
So you blame Juries when Israel won over 300 from the public ? Like, at least when Ukraine won, they had a really great song. Israel did not. So I don’t know if we can really criticize the juries and not the public
I'm sorry, but this WAS absolutely a deserved winner. This is not like last year's "let's just go for Loreen again". This was an amazing song, message, artist and act. Croatia would also have been a deserving winner but don't throw shade on an amazing act just because you're sore your favourite didn't win.
This is last Eurovision that I watched and followed. Many thanks to crew of Wiwibloggs, for suporting and promoting Baby Lasagna and Croatia. You all deserved at least 15 days vacation in Croatia for free. Greetings to all of you 5 especially for Cinan...hvala bratko
last night 🇮🇱 israel broke the record for the biggest difference of points between jury and televote in eurovision HISTORY - the public gave eden golan 271 points more than the juries 🥴 the silent majority won't be silenced, europe spoke yesterday 🎗🫶 even if you guys are stupidly silence
The jury CAN be "fixed" with more transparency. This year it was publicly selected in Ukraine and their results align pretty well with the televote without being identical. Both gave Switzerland 12 pts and both also favored Ireland, Croatia, Lithuania and France
Yeeeees! "Luktelk" was amazing, it deserves more love and appreciation! There were more mediocre pop songs which did better... There was something more true, melancholic in "Luktelk", yet it's very catchy song. Lithuania should be proud of Silvester!
you actually not gonna say anything about the televote's 2nd place (15 countries gave it 12 points!) and the amazing difference between the jury and the televote on this one?
Why do you keep proning Israeli's televote results when it is clear that it is a result of state political operation and not because of a quality of the contender?
@@petarpero958 the contender was easily the best vicalist, the song has houndred of thousands even millions of views on youtube and it is top 20 on spotify. So, no, it is not only political, it was good.
@@REL513 I didn't say it was not good. But it is not the song that should get the most points from the jury in the history of the contest. They wanted to prevent Israel from winning and they chose Switzerland to be the winner.
@petarpero958 I wasn't claiming Israel should have won, but it was clearly misjudged. A Norwegian judge even confested that he didn't vote for israel because of the war.
Croatia was gorgeous, a little bit mess, a little bit show, a little bit love and shyness those all together make Baby Lasagna, wow, just wow and all the best from Poland❤️❤️❤️
I want to thank all the wiwibloggs crew for the effort to bring Esc closer to us (the viewers). Good job guys! Most appreciated. Congrats to Nemo. He served a worthy performance last night. I don't want to take anything away from him, but I think we have a jury problem in this contest. It feels a bit unfair having a winner that came only 4th in his semi and only 5th in the televote (the people's choice). Opposed to that, Croatia won their semis, won the televote and finished third with the juries and still didn't win. It feels very wrong to me. Cheers
Croatia overall was very strong song, the rhythm, entire vibe, staging - it will definitely make the charts. It is one of those songs that one listens and remembers it - Switzerland's song was also strong but it was not totally one of those songs will stay with you. Additionally, I am not sure of one of the songs which had huge votes from public - something odd with that.
Thanks to all who supported our Marko, CROATIA! Marko, the winner of our hearts! Simply the best forever! Wiwi, thank you so much and greetings from Croatia! 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷❤️❤️✌️✌️😻😻😻😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷❤️❤️❤️
Last year Käärijä had a massive concert afterwards and the tv station shared a link to watch it live online, hope Croatia does something like that to support Marco as well. Congrats on winning televote 😊🇧🇪
So Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Norway, and San Marino gave 0 points to Croatia. Georgia gave 1 point, Czechia 2, France 2, Albania 3. I just wonder what are the juries (composed of professionals at least in theory) taking into account? Is it only technical ability of the voice? Composition? Catchiness? Staging? Interaction with audience and performative qualities? Charisma? What is it? Its like juries are on a level of primary musical school and listening to voice only. Eurovision is a competition of performances which include a full package, not only voices. 0 points is just ridiculous when his performance is compared to the rest of them. A big shame. But in the end, seeing all the drama - maybe Croatia dodged a bullet by not hosting next year. I’m just sorry for many countries not being able to afford participating in Switzerland. And also, Croatian jury not giving any points to Switzerland was a dick move and I’m sure BL would never support that choice. I understand that they were scared that exactly this will happen but still, they had the duty to vote at least partially fair. If BL got 7 points on average from each jury, that would be a sure win, and that would be fair. Did they even watch the show? I’m soooo gutted. 😢
The whole issue about the hosting ability after having won the contest I must inform you is a pure urban legend and it's really the least interesting dimension of the matter a juror can estimate to reach a final draw, Jurors mostly come to a final decision after judging a song from its overall impression to them and how it is able to influence their personal sentimental status (using musical or unfo non musical criteria). Ireland''s song for example was in fact anon song and highly repulsive, so painful to watch that I can sustain jurors' intention to place it last. I know it'd be my 26th place.
Israel song by profession Jury got only 12th position? And more than 20 countries gave 0 points to them, seems a little unprofessional. Maybe they should change name of jury vote to some sort of amateur/propolitical jury or whatever, but definitely not professional in music industry.
It just proves that these people can't be professional. what if Israel has won? they would completely ignore the winner? ban the ESC for next year? they're such a joke.
Switzerland won the very first Eurovision Song Contest and perhaps also the last, rumors are that many broadcasters want to quit after the contest fixing in Malmo
They should quit after this bullshit edition, one country was DQ bcs of a threating gesture????? And the other country can be a part of this meanwhile they have a case in the Hague bcs of war crimes.. but hey eurovision is not political right? I hope the Netherlands can fight this and get their revenge from EBU but I understand that countries want to pull out of this **** show.
Nemo‘s win feels bitter sweet. Really love their song and performance, but they got massively pushed by the juries, it took out all the suspense from the announcement of the results. I was so hoping for the results to be a little more surprising with Baby Lasagna becoming first. So frustrating that it felt almost exactly like last year, so I get why people are angry. And with all the mess going on around this finale, I guess a lot of people are so not into celebrating Nemo as the winner, EBU‘s like ‘hey we know there’s a lot of tension around this contest right now, but look we got a queer winner!‘ Well, doesn’t help that Nemo‘s mostly been preferred by the jury…
Maneskin changed everything After their win Jury knew they need to make bigger gap beetween their favourite and televote favourite so their could always win.They faild Barbara Pravi but made Loreen and Nemo winners because of them
I believe that there'll be more creative ways to avoid the problem. Maybe the Swiss fandom should make a move and reorganize themselves to form a net of hosting people for a couple of days???? Let's call this an alternative year when a little bit of loss of indipendency in living won't hurt anyone in the end.
There will always be someone who is dissapointed or even angry about the results, but this year (as opposed to last year) I can totally get why the jury voted one song so high. Switzerlands performance was outstanding, daring and very difficult. The song itself is very unique and creative in combining so many different genres. And that is exactly what the jury is for: to vote for creativity and musical quality. Of course this does not mean that a quality song will be liked by the public. And while Baby Lasagna is the first in televote, he is not the CLEAR and incontestable winner. He is only 14 points ahead of the second and 30 points ahead of third. So at least to me this year feels totally different from last year where Käärijä won the televote by a landslide (133 points ahead of second), but the jury voted for a good, but not outstanding song. I personally could not decide on ONE favourite this year. There are so many songs I could see winning, but Nemo and Baby Lasagna both were high on my list, so I am happy with the actual results.
Im happy for Switzerland I liked the song it was in my top 3 but it sucks that the juries constantly hurt my favourite songs first norway in 2019 then finland last year now Croatia 🙁
That’s cause everyone focused to vote the countries with the highest chances of winning in order to avoid Israel winning. So people who would have normally voted the counties they actually liked, thought that I’d be dangerous not to give the points to the potential winners.
@@Bluestarferies absolutely! Again it feels like a redux of last year with the televote strategically rallying around potential winner(s). Although this year I understand the motivation. So sad for the artists who got very little from the televoters when they deserved to do so much better 😭
How was UK and Spain rated higher by jury then Norway, Slovenia and Georgia? The audience had a better ear than the jury and at least redressed this injustice a little. You got political points from the jury.
@@melissacorbett4180 Even sadder because this year was a _strong_ year, with really good musicians and a wide variety of genres. But let's face it: With half of Ukraine living outside of Ukraine, they're basically going to be able to circumvent the "no voting for your own country" rule until that damned war is over. And that's going to badly skew things for _years_ to come.
Just to make it more original ..haha. My vote was for my boy from Croatia. I feel he sould've won for many different reasons. I will not discredit Nemo's win. He did fantastic ! I however don't think it was as strong as Croatia. I'm very very sad they Baby didn't win but this launched his career to the top and he's gonna be everywhere signing autograph's very shortly if not already. I'm from Portugal so i have to say thank you for the kind words on Iolanda and Portugal. Much love to all ! Congrats to Nemo ! Oh ! And shout out to Isaak !!! Jesus.... that voice was beautiful and the song was awesome. Its going into my playlist for sure.
If juries were actually 'experts' they would get Norway without a problem, If you cannot understand what is really just a form of folk metal music and European ethnic vocal style and dare call yourself an expert, you're a clown. If they can understand Bambi Thug, they can understand Norway, in fact Norway is more accessible. I think what they were rewarding in Ireland was actually the pronoun stuff.
They are experts in the most mainstream way possible. There's no thinking outside the box and seeing someone like Norway as this beautiful and artistic performance. It's straight down the middle most obvious choices.
But we've heard metal/rock/folk and we know it, Nemo was far more creative with music and staging (have you ever seen something like that? No. Also even Norway contestants love Nemo, they sung it yesterday) My country isn't very tolerant to pronouns thing but still Nemo had points form us (televoting), it's TALENT, you have to be blind to not see it.
Thank you Will and all the Wiwi team for your commentary this year. Ever reliable and ever cheerful. Post Eurovision blues about to set in here.... have a great summer y'all
Shame to EBU who DELIBERATELY put Ukraine to perform 2nd to decrease the chance of winning despite Ukraine almost won 1st semi final. 🇨🇭 was only 4th on the second semi final. They should have been in top 3 but definitely not an overall winner. 🇺🇦 is a 🥇
Did not expect this year to be so top heavy , only the top 7 got points and only 13 reached 100 which is the lowest ever . still hug congrats to Switzerland for winning with such a great song and respect to Ukraine and Croatia for not giving any points to Israel in the televote
Als Ukrainer Schäme mich, das Ukraine Israel, keine Punkte gegeben, Danke dass Deutschland 12punkte gegeben, Schweiz, England, Spanien Österreich 10Italien
Croatia never give a good points to Ukraine they forgot it who was help them with armoury when they fight with Serbia ....now they friends look like ? yes its nice ))))
@@j.h.6031 Switzerland deserved 3rd place. Baby Lasanga deserved 1st place. All the people,press and staff in the arena and the whole eurovison village was going insane on RIM TIM TAGI DIM everytime it was played. This was never ever seen before. You gonna wait now for a long time until another song makes people crazy and together like this one. Clear televote winner against Nemo. Nemo performance after the winner ceremony was a joke in front of silent crowd just like his every other perfomance. 150+ points in front of the favorite , higest ever jury vote in eurovision history like Elvis Presley himself came down from the skyes. Clear jury bribe. Obviuosly eurovision is in hard times, with all this wars and politics going on and they needed a neutral and rich country to organize the next competition which can handle a this mess they found themselves in. But yea. Nemo winner is a big unjustice
I'm Cinan and Suzanne here cause I'm trying to be happy about winner but Markoo 😭 Also jury is needed and helps a lot but a feeling when an actual crowd favourite wins is like no other. 2022 was unique but we didn't have that feeling since 2021. and Maneskin. Hoped it would be back with Baby Lasagna this yeat but it didn't happen
I was so proud for ONCE of the UK jury giving the 12 to Portugal which was my favourite of the more emotional songs, our juries for once had a great range of taste and rewarded both the fun and the serious because they all deserved a fair assessment. Instead of my usual horror at our jury that honour went to the televote instead but let’s put that behind us and hopefully move forward with more clarity from the EBU. I’m going to be following with interest what comes of the next few days because honestly from start to finish this year’s contest was, besides the music, an unmitigated disaster and I expect the EBU to be held accountable in a way that can see actual change. Resign, Österdahl. Thank you.
I live in Strasbourg, so happy I will finally be able to watch the eurovision song contest next year in Switzerland! I hope there will not be drama and bans anymore, because so unfair for everybody
It has been an another insane journey with you guys, i love and will always adore wiwibloggs! Keep being awesom. Your comments were on points for the deserving top 4, i wish Netherlands was in it and then we would have a deserving top 5. Hopefully next year, thanks again!
Croatia should be proud and I'm convinced that in the coming years they will win the contest. They are on the right track. It reminds of The Netherlands. After a decade not going trough to the finals. Anouk made it in 2013 to the finals a year later we became 2nd and 5 years later in 2019 we won. Croatia went to the final last year after years not qualifying and this year they became 2nd, so a victory in 2029 is written in the stars
No-one should be surprised if the voting doesn't match your favourite. As usual 3 of my top 5 didn't even qualify: Poland, Czechia and San Marino. This is what keeps us fascinated by ESC and glued throughout the contest ❤
I'm Belgian and although we had the best song of this year, I agree the NQ was deserved. However, consider this list: 2006: Kate Ryan - Je t'adore: semi final 2008: Ishtar - O julissi: semi final 2018: Sennek - A matter of time: semi final 2019: Eliot - Wake up: semi final 2021: Hooverphonic - The wrong place: 19th 2022: Jérémie Makiese - Miss you: 19th 2024: Mustii - Before the party's over: semi final Some of these vocals and stagings were on point. The real problem is France never votes for us...
Doing a Top 5 recap without the 5th place? How does that work? Eden proved you all haters wrong! By disregarding her, you are part of the minority losers! AM ISRAEL HAI!
I was so happy to see Nemo win! They were rewarded by both strong support from the jury AND televote. Croatia have a new BEST showing and they should be rightfully proud of Baby Lasagna too!
I was also surprised that we (Slovenia) didnt give Croatia 12 points. But we dont give it every year. Alot of time we give it to Italy (they are also our neighbours). But this year it went to France. If you ask me well deserved. But I am sad for Italy. She was so good! 7 place is not desrved at all. Top 5 for her
Definitely not happy for nemo breaking code would've rather see France or Italy on the spot. But Baby lasagna shouldve been winer if only the jury is not biased . Well he's public winer and at the end of the day that's what it counts for every artist and gives much more value to it in their career progress . Btw uk wasn't my cup of tea but 0 public votes?! Isn't it suspicious..erm I don't trust much this Eurovision machinery tbh
@@or5645 Getting the most jury points in history of eurovision for his spinning microwave chicken perfomance making it the best eurovision perfomance ever is rigged to the moon. Croatia did vote unfairly, but dont forget that other 35 countryes voted unfairly for swiss. Dont come here teaching about moral 😂😂
When someone doesn't give single point to overall favorite that means they don't judge, rather pushing their favorite. 6 countries did that. Those aren't objective jures. They are supporters!
My heart is still broken. It hurts. They stole his victory so shamelessly and cruelly. Damn those little sold souls. This will never happen again. Maybe one day in the future Croatia will win, but it won't be MARKO. That's the point. He is irreplaceable and unforgettable. 💔😿💔😿❤️🔥😻
I feel sad for Croatia but also so incredibly proud for Marko and his incredible work! He achieved Croatia’s best result EVER! And William gurl, YOU GOT ME AT THE END! 😂😂😂
I've got a cake to bake!
@@Wiwibloggs greetings from Italy I am Italian
Oh my gosh, thank God he didn't carry the joke more than a moment - 😂!
Baby Lasagna 😢 The people's choice, his win would've been massive for Croatia, all of Croatia was dancing and behind him 🇭🇷
Just a sampled song, so completely unoriginal 🙄
He should still be extremely proud. Finishing 2nd doesn’t change any of that.
People also chose Ukraine's very average entry back in 2022. Thank God we have juries.
Nemo didn't break the code, he broke the trophy!!! Heaven shows us that the trophy does not belong to him! Only 5 th by puplic votes! And only 4th by puplic votes in the 2. semi final! Not deserved winner!!! Nemos voice is amazing! But not the song! It's a song contest not a Singer contest!!! Then the name of the contest is wrong
It's still massive for us. We got silver that shines like gold. 🇭🇷❤️🏆🥇
So, today Croatia showed love for Baby Lasagna by showing up in thousands on main square in Zagreb to welcome him home... This is what counts for me more than any trophy.
and nemo wasnt even welcomed back.. says TONS about people's choice
Croatia's silver shines gold 🥰
@@leogrigori4729Nemo has won……accept it and get over it!
@@leogrigori4729 you have no idea how Swiss people are do you
@@leogrigori4729 Swiss aren't that much into Eurovision as other nations like Croatians are... Switzerland has a lot more things to worry about than Eurovision 🤣
Baby Lasagna is MY winner, but all my respect to Nemo. Congratulations to the top 3. Well deserved
So happy to see some people celebrating even when their fave lost. I wanted Belgium, and then I was kinda getting on the Dutch train. In the end Switzerland was my winner but I loved Baby Lasagna and I definitely feel for all of Croatia that was so invested in getting that first win. It was an exhausting season and I'm just glad that the top three are so good. And how about that Ukrainian staging, so stunning.
So true, and honestly - Baby Lasagna and Nemo are my 2 favorites to win 2024 ESC....
Yes, Ukraine was amazing, top stage design!
All pure garbage. No class whatsoever
@@frostflower5555 Lol, bro, you've sought out a wiwiblogs video to complain about how you think all of eurovision is garbage. How sad is your life??? Pull yourself together man.
Isn't it quite hilarious in hindsight how so many were bashing Latvia for barely scraping into the Grand Final and "stealing" some other country's place whereas Latvia was 7th in the televote in the Semi and Norway was the one scraping in 😅✌️ By the way, absolutely loved Norway and happy they got in but it just shows that sometimes bookmakers and our "narrow" thinking of Eurofans, about what the average viewer might like, do not always fit.
HAPPY 16TH PLACE, DONS AND LATVIA! 🥳👍🇱🇻🎵
I was really happy for latvia they deserved that so much
Well observed!
I was actually quite impressed with Latvia. 👏
I was SURE Latvia is going through same like Slovenia
Happy for Nemo, sad for Baby Lasagna. 😢 My mind says Switzerland but the heart says Croatia!!!
They both Slayed it!
Same
Happy for a rigget jury win? Nobody else won beying only 5 by prople
We should just be happy for both, both had amazing performances and were rewarded for it. Eurovision only has 1 official winner, but in practice there can be many more. Last summer I went to a festival and got to see both Go_A (finished 5th) and Dadi Freyr (finished 4th ) live on stage. Both artists have seen their careers blossom even though they didn't win or come even close to it. I'm confident that Baby Lasagna will be just fine.
Why no one talks about the fact that Germany for the first time in years is in top half of the board and not the bottom 5
Isaak has an amazing voice, he's clearly talented, it was a good song. Staging wasn't my favorite; he had this entire video led screen at his disposal and didn't make use of it... and what did it symbolize ? Him sitting in a chair...
If he's "on the run" then maybe he should ACTUALLY be running, no ? 🤔
Sometimes people don't vote for your country because mostly you send boring songs 🙄 and maybe last year people thought LOTL was a joke entry just like Jendrik, so they didn't vote for it, I guess ? 🤷♀️ (I voted for them 4 x)
So glad for that, Isaak had a great voice and sang with passion, the song was not the strongest but decent enough and wouldnt deserve one of the last places that Germany (sometimes undeservingly) gets.
THIS! Nobody was rooting for him, even the Germans were still mad. But I'm so proud of Isaak, he was amazing, very resilient and didn't care what other people thought about him.
yes! I'm so happy for Isaak and Germany!
As a german that does make me happy 🙂
I wish we had more public points though….basically because I hope that Isaak can make a real career out of it. But that only works, if the public likes him….they buy the music.
So SAD and PROUD ... Sad, because of jury. Proud because of Marko 🇭🇷 Marko, thanks for everything ❤️ We love you ❤️
I'm so proud of Marko! Second place is great and Nemo is a worthy winner. Nevertheless, I'm pretty sad. 😿 But when I see Isaak with his 12th place, I feel better. 🙂 Greetings from Germany!
What's the difference between 2 and 26? It's not a win. He lost thanks to cheated jury votes and Mr. Metler was the only one to win, being only 5th overall. Fortunately, Eurovision doesn't count anymore
I'm so heartbroken for Marko, but I'm also so proud of him and so happy we got to meet him and enjoy his music. ❤ 🇭🇷 I really wanted a first-time winner this year! Nemo is a worthy and very talented winner, but after two years of having the jury winner snatch the trophy by a huge margin, I'm not sure I'd want that to happen again next year.
Exactly this! ❤🩹
Yeah, Finland last year and now Croatia... It's corruption
I honestly don’t think Croatia could even bring anyone better. He was everything I think and its hard to even bring anything better then that. I guess we just have to choose someone LGBTQ next time 🤷♀️ idk how else cus the performance was amazing the song is great and catch and a very peoples song.
@username_creates6991 No, LGBTQ is not the secret to gain jury votes. You definitely don’t need to belong to that community to get public votes (could be an obstacle for some people).
The jurys are professionals from the music industry and they evaluate the musical qualities and as some of them are from radio stations, maybe also the radiofriendlieness. Switzerlands song was musically more challenging than the Croatian one. The range of Nemos voice is definitely bigger than Marcos….and so on.
That doesn’t mean a wide range alone helps (last year you guys sent a group with an amazing range and a really weird song…. I 😊).
I loved Croatias song choice this year, but I feared from the beginning that it would not get so many jury points, because the musical arrangement is not so challenging. If Marco would be homosexual or whatever, it still would not make a difference.
The jury didn't "snatch the winner."
The juries have *_ALWAYS_* played a role in who wins. We're just seeing what that role is by _how the scores are announced._ If the EBU flipped how scoring was announced, having each country give the televote-details and then do a in-reverse-order reveal of jury totals, people would be complaining that the "televote is corrupt!" when their favorite act didn't win.
My heart is broken. I wanted Marco to win so much 🥺
He will be fine, he is such a down to earth guy that he is aware that he is not the greatest singer there. He will receive a huge reception on the main square in Zagreb today because Croats adore him. I am sure he will have a great music career. When once asked if he prefered to win Eurosong or have a concert at Wembley, he said "Wembley, of course" without hesitation. He is so happy that he won the televote, that is what counts to him.
He did himself and Croatia proud, and he won the People’s hearts. ❤
@@tatjanarad Marko is so great, by far the fan favorite of this contest. I am so happy for him and hope he will have great career
He is winner. Millions of people > 180 biased juries
Televote

The winner getting 5th with the public is insanity
Even last year at least Loreen was 2nd
Politics. Transformers trash
@@ImBojackk Israel got second most televotes. So a lot of people did want Israel to win. It was mainly the pro-establishment (jury, and the brainrot people) that were opposed to Israel winning.
It's not that insane. Israel and Ukraine got votes because of the war. There also was a campaign to vote for Croatia so Israel would'nt win.
Israel does not count there for obvious reasons
@@Chasfondue17you really think lasagna have vote points because campaign? Dont be silly...
I don't have anything against Switzerland, I kinda like the song, it is catchy, especially the woah-oh-oh part, but the same situation from 2023 happened - Juries undermining the public favorite. Nevertheless, it is Croatia' best result since our independence and we are very proud of Marko!!!❤❤❤ And I am very happy to hear so many people supported Croatia this year. 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷And like Marko said, it's public that matters, because it's not juries who will be coming to the concerts in the future.
Hopefully you guys get a fully crowded Eurovision afterparty in June 🎉 but congrats on winning televote. We all know the true winner, just like last year (even in Eurovision Village Käärijä from last year still draws massive crowd)
@@JadedKate ❤️
The juries didn't "undermine" anything.
The juries just reflected the tastes of their C-Suite Music-Industry-Corporate Masters, who go for whatever makes them see💰🤑.
If we went by just the televote, or if the televote was announced via individual points at the beginning, you'd all be complaining about how political the televote was and how good musicians were constantly trashed due to politics.
Look, this was a *_strong_* year, with lots of Excellent Musicians from across many different genres. 4 songs from this year I will be playing well into the future, and that includes BabyLasagna and Nemo.
Personally, I want the current juries replaced with past contestants [let's say, from no earlier than 2 years prior], with a very rigid set of scoring criteria by which they assign points.
I also want the EBU to start _requiring_ every national broadcaster to display captions of the lyrics _in the broadcasters' native language_ during the performance. That will level the playing field when it comes to acts in their own language.
It would be bad if one jury diverted the public vote but this time it was different. Outstanding and decisive amount of juries voted for Switzerland and trust me, I'm also music professional and I knew this song is going to win 100%. How smoothly they went for at least 5 absolutely different genres yet they achieved one big assembled, complete and the most original piece Eurovision ever had. It never happened to me before that I knew the future winner for sure.
Thank You Wiwibloggs, spacialy William (who ist wearing btw t-shirt "Branka" from Baby!) for all support and wonderful interviews all around this Euro journey! Love & hugs from Zagreb, Croatia!
Cinan also was wearing it under his shirt. :) You can see it.
@@perlaserrano1791 Oh, yes, now I see! Thanks!
Metler won because rigget jury votes its not a winner
Overall, satisfactory results despite the tumultuous year. My winner was Baby Lasagna, but at least he got first in the televote, and that's the most important fanbase and career longevity-wise. Nemo was also wonderful, and even though it's 2023 all over again, I can sort of understand why literally everyone learned towards that. It was unique, energetic, and showed off versatility.
And Voldemort didn't win in the end! That's super important!
F C K NEMO and Politic Vision! 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎
Interesting how Croatia was so marginalised by jury. Some, like Spain and Belgium gave Baby Lasagna 0 points. 0... points. For a song that took world by the storm. One has to wonder what is going on.
Well Croatia gave 0 to Spain and it was not a worse song. The contrary
NEMO ❤
Croatia gave Switzerland 0 points.
Yes, Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Norway, and San Marino too. 0 points. Georgia gave 1 point, Czechia 2, France 2, Albania 3. I just wonder what are the juries (composed of professionals at least in theory) taking into account? Is it only technical ability of the voice? Composition? Catchiness? Staging? Interaction with audience and performative qualities? Charisma? What is it? Its like juries are on a level of primary musical school and listening to voice only. Eurovision is a competition of performances, not only voices. 0 points is just ridiculous when his performance is compared to other performances. A big shame. But in the end, maybe Croatia dodged a bullet by not hosting next year. I’m just sorry for many countries not being able to afford participating in Switzerland.
And also, Croatian jury not giving any points to Switzerland was a dick move and I’m sure BL would never support that choice. I understand that they were scared that this will happen but still, they had the duty to vote at least partially fair.
Juries are so f bad
Thanks to the audience for the clear message about who the winner is (Swiss song is in 5th place according to audience votes).
But even more thanks to the jury of almost all countries, you also sent all parents homework with several tasks:
1. Explain to the CHILD that the world is not a fair place
2. Teach him that a MINORITY like that Mysterious Jury is loud and has enormous influence
3. You don't need to be the first to be a winner
Bulgaria was robbed 3 times, it came 2nd, 4th and 5th. So dear Croats, we feel you 🤣😘
And Croatia should pull out now.
Pozdrav, braćo Bugari
I’m still in shock that Bones didn’t do well
Still hurt about Salvador Sobral?
How can Metler win and Gjons Tears not? Can me explain someone that?
Yall get real, if jury was not there we Israel could have won, the difference between Croatia and them was like 10 points...
My personal winner is also Croatia. Beautiful lyrics and strong performance! But Switzerland is also high up there on the list because of vocals, the sic beat and their light show at the end was my fav for the night. This was indeed a strong year.
It was so nice of Marina, how happy she was for Nemo. The same when Slimane went to cheer Nemo. I wish, the fans could react the same....
it speak volumes actually about the Nemo! Bambie, Marina, Iolanda and Slimane all come to cheer Nemo, it obviously speaks about the quality of the person Nemo is.
Gutted for Norway. It was definitely NOT the worst song this year. I thought their performance was breathtaking. Should have been on the left side of the scoreboard imo. But So happy for Switzerland! And also Croatia for getting such a great result (although I understand they're disappointed for being so close to winning). I am also sooo happy for Ireland finally bringing something amazing to the show, and a great end result :)
🇭🇷 1st SF, 1st televote, 3rd jury
🇨🇭 4th SF, 5th televote, 1st jury
....
The fact that Baby Lasagna "only" came third in the jury vote is fine. BUT the fact that Nemo received so many points from the juries when there were so many other good singers is more than unrealistic. You have to consider one thing: Baby Lasagna came 1st and 3rd while Nemo came 1st and 5th and yet Nemo wins the competition. That's very weird!!!
Switzerland also came 5th in their semi so that makes it even weirder
The juries need to be reformed
@@dasmysteryman12 Good point! There must be transparency within the jury voting and the criteria by which the performances are judged must be standardized and binding for all participating juries. The selection of jury members must also be based on standardized criteria and procedures, if they are not already.
@@hannahbarley97 That's a good point too!
There were many good singers there. Maybe because it is a song contest. And (1+3):2=2 and (1+5):2=… wait…what!?! Not 1??? You genius just broke the code. Oh oh oh.
i think disqualification of Netherlands impacted voting and final outcome would've been different because some 12 points to Switzerland would've ended up on Joost Klein's points count. and winner would be different
I wonder how the televote would’ve been effected if the Netherlands was still allowed to compete 🤔
@@hannahbarley97 also jury votes would be different
@@hannahbarley97probably would have "taken" televotes from Croatia making Israel the televote winner.
I think the Netherlands would have taken televote points from Croatia, as Nemo was a bit different comparing to them, more a "vocal-talent". Nemo was definitely the winner of the juries, and it seems to be that the jury always wins. :/ They have too much power.
Nemo is the deserved winner. The end.
I’m happy with the overall results, but I still don’t understand how can a serious jury put Norway last. I really don’t.
Yeah...Norway was seriously CLASS!
@@Wiwibloggs why avoid jury rigged questions? Swiss jury record votes, best song ever???? 5th im publici, and would be 6 if joost was there..
Yes, agreed. Very strange. But I think we must stop to think of the Eurovision as a SONG/MUSIC contest. It is more of a SHOW contest. The show part seems to count more than the quality of the music in it self. I would love if it was mandatory for all the participants to present their song acoustically and unplugged on stage.😂

The Serbian and Cypriot jury were the only one with balls, the others bent down. Marko is the true winner, both as an artist and as a human being. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your immense love and support. Baby in our hearts forever. 😻❤️🔥
Serbia only did it because they are allies. I dunno for Cypriot tho.
Congrats to Nemo, but my heart has been shattered into gazillion pieces - really not trying to sound overly dramatic. I felt it in my bones from the get-go that Baby Lasagna had that magic eurovision sauce...certain rules, such as jury vs televoting percentage, should be seriously revisited, just sayin`... the world meowed back!!!
With my respect to Switzerland, it is another year when I am very disappointed by the results because the actual winners never will win. I am massively against jury because let’s accept that ESC was never about the vocals but the emotions that we get and Croatia was just amazing. It was obvious that jury did not want Israel to win but just have a courage and remove the country out of the competition. Otherwise the results really looked very made up as it is hard to imagine a case when a country can receive 300 points more from public than jury. And overall the big difference between the jury and televotes is not always fair.
CROATIA THE ACTUAL WINNER TO ME😢🐈
Congratulations to Nemo who is a good artist 🎊
Exactly. 5TH, I repeat 5TH public vote got the trophy. Completely undeserved and rigged
I don't agree. This is how it works. Nemo did an incredible job.
So you blame Juries when Israel won over 300 from the public ?
Like, at least when Ukraine won, they had a really great song. Israel did not.
So I don’t know if we can really criticize the juries and not the public
@@shiminisillters1848 did israel win public. No. So who cares about them, Croatia won public and Croatia should have won entire thing
I'm sorry, but this WAS absolutely a deserved winner. This is not like last year's "let's just go for Loreen again". This was an amazing song, message, artist and act. Croatia would also have been a deserving winner but don't throw shade on an amazing act just because you're sore your favourite didn't win.
This is last Eurovision that I watched and followed. Many thanks to crew of Wiwibloggs, for suporting and promoting Baby Lasagna and Croatia. You all deserved at least 15 days vacation in Croatia for free. Greetings to all of you 5 especially for Cinan...hvala bratko
last night 🇮🇱 israel broke the record for the biggest difference of points between jury and televote in eurovision HISTORY - the public gave eden golan 271 points more than the juries 🥴
the silent majority won't be silenced, europe spoke yesterday 🎗🫶 even if you guys are stupidly silence
The jury CAN be "fixed" with more transparency. This year it was publicly selected in Ukraine and their results align pretty well with the televote without being identical. Both gave Switzerland 12 pts and both also favored Ireland, Croatia, Lithuania and France
Hhere never was a bigger gap between jury and the peoples votes !
Judges clrrupt !
Corrupt !
Austria had amazing performance . We need more songs like that in Eurovision. And Lithuania 🇱🇹 - Luktlek 🎉
Yeeeees! "Luktelk" was amazing, it deserves more love and appreciation! There were more mediocre pop songs which did better... There was something more true, melancholic in "Luktelk", yet it's very catchy song. Lithuania should be proud of Silvester!
you actually not gonna say anything about the televote's 2nd place (15 countries gave it 12 points!) and the amazing difference between the jury and the televote on this one?
They agreed to ignore 🇮🇱 at all cost because apparently it iso so controversial to back a good song. Wiwiblogs are disappointing big time.
Why do you keep proning Israeli's televote results when it is clear that it is a result of state political operation and not because of a quality of the contender?
@@petarpero958 the contender was easily the best vicalist, the song has houndred of thousands even millions of views on youtube and it is top 20 on spotify. So, no, it is not only political, it was good.
@@REL513 I didn't say it was not good. But it is not the song that should get the most points from the jury in the history of the contest. They wanted to prevent Israel from winning and they chose Switzerland to be the winner.
@petarpero958 I wasn't claiming Israel should have won, but it was clearly misjudged. A Norwegian judge even confested that he didn't vote for israel because of the war.
Croatia was gorgeous, a little bit mess, a little bit show, a little bit love and shyness those all together make Baby Lasagna, wow, just wow and all the best from Poland❤️❤️❤️
I want to thank all the wiwibloggs crew for the effort to bring Esc closer to us (the viewers). Good job guys! Most appreciated. Congrats to Nemo. He served a worthy performance last night. I don't want to take anything away from him, but I think we have a jury problem in this contest. It feels a bit unfair having a winner that came only 4th in his semi and only 5th in the televote (the people's choice). Opposed to that, Croatia won their semis, won the televote and finished third with the juries and still didn't win. It feels very wrong to me. Cheers
When will Croatia get a chance again? I'm sad
Wow this is reminding me Germany 1940 when Jews get ignored
There is a difference between jews and zionists
Croatia overall was very strong song, the rhythm, entire vibe, staging - it will definitely make the charts. It is one of those songs that one listens and remembers it - Switzerland's song was also strong but it was not totally one of those songs will stay with you. Additionally, I am not sure of one of the songs which had huge votes from public - something odd with that.
Thanks to all who supported our Marko, CROATIA! Marko, the winner of our hearts! Simply the best forever! Wiwi, thank you so much and greetings from Croatia! 🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷❤️❤️✌️✌️😻😻😻😻😻😻❤️❤️❤️🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷🇭🇷❤️❤️❤️

Last year Käärijä had a massive concert afterwards and the tv station shared a link to watch it live online, hope Croatia does something like that to support Marco as well. Congrats on winning televote 😊🇧🇪
My heart is broken.. Marko has done such a great job!! Congrats to Switzerland.. but for me Baby Lasagna is real winner!!❤
So proud to gave my support to beautiful Eden Golan's voice . It was hard but worth it. She did amazing ❤️❤️❤️
So Spain, Belgium, Portugal, Greece, Norway, and San Marino gave 0 points to Croatia. Georgia gave 1 point, Czechia 2, France 2, Albania 3. I just wonder what are the juries (composed of professionals at least in theory) taking into account? Is it only technical ability of the voice? Composition? Catchiness? Staging? Interaction with audience and performative qualities? Charisma? What is it? Its like juries are on a level of primary musical school and listening to voice only. Eurovision is a competition of performances which include a full package, not only voices. 0 points is just ridiculous when his performance is compared to the rest of them. A big shame. But in the end, seeing all the drama - maybe Croatia dodged a bullet by not hosting next year. I’m just sorry for many countries not being able to afford participating in Switzerland.
And also, Croatian jury not giving any points to Switzerland was a dick move and I’m sure BL would never support that choice. I understand that they were scared that exactly this will happen but still, they had the duty to vote at least partially fair.
If BL got 7 points on average from each jury, that would be a sure win, and that would be fair. Did they even watch the show? I’m soooo gutted. 😢
The whole issue about the hosting ability after having won the contest I must inform you is a pure urban legend and it's really the least interesting dimension of the matter a juror can estimate to reach a final draw, Jurors mostly come to a final decision after judging a song from its overall impression to them and how it is able to influence their personal sentimental status (using musical or unfo non musical criteria). Ireland''s song for example was in fact anon song and highly repulsive, so painful to watch that I can sustain jurors' intention to place it last. I know it'd be my 26th place.
Israel song by profession Jury got only 12th position? And more than 20 countries gave 0 points to them, seems a little unprofessional. Maybe they should change name of jury vote to some sort of amateur/propolitical jury or whatever, but definitely not professional in music industry.
Y‘all are nasty for not mentioning Eden Golan. It says a lot about what kind of people you are.
I am so disappointed of them
It just proves that these people can't be professional. what if Israel has won? they would completely ignore the winner? ban the ESC for next year? they're such a joke.
Switzerland won the very first Eurovision Song Contest and perhaps also the last, rumors are that many broadcasters want to quit after the contest fixing in Malmo
They better do quit. Eurovision NEEDS a rehaul.
They should quit after this bullshit edition, one country was DQ bcs of a threating gesture????? And the other country can be a part of this meanwhile they have a case in the Hague bcs of war crimes.. but hey eurovision is not political right? I hope the Netherlands can fight this and get their revenge from EBU but I understand that countries want to pull out of this **** show.
R.I.P Nova Festival Angels 👼
I am sorry but this blog has becoming too annoying and biased, you have lost your credibility.
They have opinions, imagine that!
A huge thank you to the Irish public for awarding ten points to Israel!
The ending of this video had me shook for a second, please don't ever retire from Eurovision William 😭😭❤
My wife and William Lee Adams agree on Norway. Not a Eurovision-type song but overall, it's a great song!
So sad about that last place finish!
That was one of the saddest surprises! Way better song than what was in the 5th place...
It’s the same case as france 2022 a good song but just doesn’t fit into Eurovision
I am pleased that Eden Golan ended in 5th place! ❤ Israel ❤
Nemo‘s win feels bitter sweet. Really love their song and performance, but they got massively pushed by the juries, it took out all the suspense from the announcement of the results. I was so hoping for the results to be a little more surprising with Baby Lasagna becoming first. So frustrating that it felt almost exactly like last year, so I get why people are angry. And with all the mess going on around this finale, I guess a lot of people are so not into celebrating Nemo as the winner, EBU‘s like ‘hey we know there’s a lot of tension around this contest right now, but look we got a queer winner!‘ Well, doesn’t help that Nemo‘s mostly been preferred by the jury…
After Maneskin Jury is making bigger gap beetween their favourit and televote favourite so their always wins.Done with Loreen and Nemo.
I just don't care for this year's winner. It's not a song I would voluntarily listen to.
OMG 😧 HOTEL for a week in SWIZERLAND 2000€
Hotel in Zagreb also for a week 300€ 😢
Weather in Zurich 10 grad
Weather in Zagreb 25 grad
You could go to the Eurovision afterparty in Croatia in June.
Weather in Geneva : 25 degrés ❤
Your only chance is to hope that Basel is hosting it so you can pick to stay in Germany or France.
Switzerland came 5th not 4th in televote ! France finished 4th !
But the difference is 1 point 😅
Maneskin changed everything
After their win Jury knew they need to make bigger gap beetween their favourite and televote favourite so their could always win.They faild Barbara Pravi but made Loreen and Nemo winners because of them
I wanted Croatia to win but I wasn’t disappointed when Switzerland won. Well deserved win🇨🇭
👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎 JURIES WON AGAIN!
Good luck with the hotel prices in Zurich next year. You may need to remortgage your house.
😭 We are already crying.
I'm glad that I already live here 😅😅😅
Not sure yet it will be Zürich. The delegation is also in talks with Basel to host. And Geneva would be a further option. 😊
I believe that there'll be more creative ways to avoid the problem. Maybe the Swiss fandom should make a move and reorganize themselves to form a net of hosting people for a couple of days???? Let's call this an alternative year when a little bit of loss of indipendency in living won't hurt anyone in the end.
There will always be someone who is dissapointed or even angry about the results, but this year (as opposed to last year) I can totally get why the jury voted one song so high. Switzerlands performance was outstanding, daring and very difficult. The song itself is very unique and creative in combining so many different genres. And that is exactly what the jury is for: to vote for creativity and musical quality.
Of course this does not mean that a quality song will be liked by the public. And while Baby Lasagna is the first in televote, he is not the CLEAR and incontestable winner. He is only 14 points ahead of the second and 30 points ahead of third. So at least to me this year feels totally different from last year where Käärijä won the televote by a landslide (133 points ahead of second), but the jury voted for a good, but not outstanding song.
I personally could not decide on ONE favourite this year. There are so many songs I could see winning, but Nemo and Baby Lasagna both were high on my list, so I am happy with the actual results.
Im happy for Switzerland I liked the song it was in my top 3 but it sucks that the juries constantly hurt my favourite songs first norway in 2019 then finland last year now Croatia 🙁
Televote: UK ZERO points,REALLY????????;Spain only 11 points;Portugal only 13 points...........ESC:☠☠☠☠☠☠
Strange things happened this year, or should I say every year? Eurovision will never be like years ago...
Shame on you, EBU!
That’s cause everyone focused to vote the countries with the highest chances of winning in order to avoid Israel winning. So people who would have normally voted the counties they actually liked, thought that I’d be dangerous not to give the points to the potential winners.
@@Bluestarferies absolutely! Again it feels like a redux of last year with the televote strategically rallying around potential winner(s). Although this year I understand the motivation. So sad for the artists who got very little from the televoters when they deserved to do so much better 😭
How was UK and Spain rated higher by jury then Norway, Slovenia and Georgia? The audience had a better ear than the jury and at least redressed this injustice a little. You got political points from the jury.
@@melissacorbett4180 Even sadder because this year was a _strong_ year, with really good musicians and a wide variety of genres.
But let's face it: With half of Ukraine living outside of Ukraine, they're basically going to be able to circumvent the "no voting for your own country" rule until that damned war is over. And that's going to badly skew things for _years_ to come.
My top 3 favorites were 1) Italy 2) Israel 3) Germany amazing amazing songs so underrated.
Difference here is Croatian song will be the one ppl listen, long after euro ends.
Just to make it more original ..haha. My vote was for my boy from Croatia. I feel he sould've won for many different reasons. I will not discredit Nemo's win. He did fantastic ! I however don't think it was as strong as Croatia. I'm very very sad they Baby didn't win but this launched his career to the top and he's gonna be everywhere signing autograph's very shortly if not already. I'm from Portugal so i have to say thank you for the kind words on Iolanda and Portugal. Much love to all ! Congrats to Nemo ! Oh ! And shout out to Isaak !!! Jesus.... that voice was beautiful and the song was awesome. Its going into my playlist for sure.
If juries were actually 'experts' they would get Norway without a problem, If you cannot understand what is really just a form of folk metal music and European ethnic vocal style and dare call yourself an expert, you're a clown. If they can understand Bambi Thug, they can understand Norway, in fact Norway is more accessible. I think what they were rewarding in Ireland was actually the pronoun stuff.
They are experts in the most mainstream way possible. There's no thinking outside the box and seeing someone like Norway as this beautiful and artistic performance. It's straight down the middle most obvious choices.
But we've heard metal/rock/folk and we know it, Nemo was far more creative with music and staging (have you ever seen something like that? No. Also even Norway contestants love Nemo, they sung it yesterday) My country isn't very tolerant to pronouns thing but still Nemo had points form us (televoting), it's TALENT, you have to be blind to not see it.
@@analitycznie Nemo was not far more creative. Nemo was the safe straight down the middle choice.
@@basquat76 Yea, right, because combining opera and rap is not creative. You are such a specialist :D
@@analitycznie Wait what? Rap and opera. I need to hear that song again cause all i heard was the usual straight down the middle pop song.
Thank you Will and all the Wiwi team for your commentary this year. Ever reliable and ever cheerful. Post Eurovision blues about to set in here.... have a great summer y'all
Shame to EBU who DELIBERATELY put Ukraine to perform 2nd to decrease the chance of winning despite Ukraine almost won 1st semi final. 🇨🇭 was only 4th on the second semi final. They should have been in top 3 but definitely not an overall winner. 🇺🇦 is a 🥇
Did not expect this year to be so top heavy , only the top 7 got points and only 13 reached 100 which is the lowest ever . still hug congrats to Switzerland for winning with such a great song and respect to Ukraine and Croatia for not giving any points to Israel in the televote
Als Ukrainer Schäme mich, das Ukraine Israel, keine Punkte gegeben, Danke dass Deutschland 12punkte gegeben, Schweiz, England, Spanien Österreich 10Italien
@@elisdolovac8878… Israel is a reformist state just like russia to your country
@@elisdolovac8878And what Croatia 4. is ashamed of Ukraine. Remember and return.

Croatia never give a good points to Ukraine they forgot it who was help them with armoury when they fight with Serbia ....now they friends look like ? yes its nice ))))
@@elisdolovac8878 It warms my heart that some decent human beings still exist.
For me Baby Lasagna winner❤❤❤❤
You dont have a 4th . He was 5th in televote final and 4th in the semifinal. Sorry but this feels like a bad a joke
So happy has juryvoting and not only televoting. Switzerland deserves so much to win💯
@@j.h.6031 Switzerland deserved 3rd place. Baby Lasanga deserved 1st place. All the people,press and staff in the arena and the whole eurovison village was going insane on RIM TIM TAGI DIM everytime it was played. This was never ever seen before. You gonna wait now for a long time until another song makes people crazy and together like this one. Clear televote winner against Nemo. Nemo performance after the winner ceremony was a joke in front of silent crowd just like his every other perfomance. 150+ points in front of the favorite , higest ever jury vote in eurovision history like Elvis Presley himself came down from the skyes. Clear jury bribe. Obviuosly eurovision is in hard times, with all this wars and politics going on and they needed a neutral and rich country to organize the next competition which can handle a this mess they found themselves in. But yea. Nemo winner is a big unjustice
Hvala srce zlato ♥️🇭🇷🐱
Baby Lasagna is my winner!Absolute KING!❤
I'm Cinan and Suzanne here cause I'm trying to be happy about winner but Markoo 😭
Also jury is needed and helps a lot but a feeling when an actual crowd favourite wins is like no other. 2022 was unique but we didn't have that feeling since 2021. and Maneskin.
Hoped it would be back with Baby Lasagna this yeat but it didn't happen
I was so proud for ONCE of the UK jury giving the 12 to Portugal which was my favourite of the more emotional songs, our juries for once had a great range of taste and rewarded both the fun and the serious because they all deserved a fair assessment. Instead of my usual horror at our jury that honour went to the televote instead but let’s put that behind us and hopefully move forward with more clarity from the EBU. I’m going to be following with interest what comes of the next few days because honestly from start to finish this year’s contest was, besides the music, an unmitigated disaster and I expect the EBU to be held accountable in a way that can see actual change. Resign, Österdahl. Thank you.
Yes, Portugal was fine Art.
I live in Strasbourg, so happy I will finally be able to watch the eurovision song contest next year in Switzerland! I hope there will not be drama and bans anymore, because so unfair for everybody
Not gonna happen
well hope be more respect from artist to crew of Eurovision and less ruZZZian supporters like Germany and Norway .)))
Well deserved win in my opinion 👏 congrats
You are warmly welcome in 🇨🇭!
It has been an another insane journey with you guys, i love and will always adore wiwibloggs! Keep being awesom. Your comments were on points for the deserving top 4, i wish Netherlands was in it and then we would have a deserving top 5. Hopefully next year, thanks again!
Croatia was the best
CROATIE IS THE BEST!!!!!!!! WINNER!!!
baby Lasanja. SIMPEL THE BEST!!!!!! WINNER
CROATIE. WINNER 2024,,,,,,!!!!!!!
Croatia should be proud and I'm convinced that in the coming years they will win the contest. They are on the right track. It reminds of The Netherlands. After a decade not going trough to the finals. Anouk made it in 2013 to the finals a year later we became 2nd and 5 years later in 2019 we won. Croatia went to the final last year after years not qualifying and this year they became 2nd, so a victory in 2029 is written in the stars
We will have to wait so many years to see a crowd reaction like they did for Baby Lasagna.
Polished is a good word, as Sweden last year. Sad that countries like Croatia are not given the chance.
CROATIA IS THE BEST
Croatia and France were absolutely great.
No-one should be surprised if the voting doesn't match your favourite. As usual 3 of my top 5 didn't even qualify: Poland, Czechia and San Marino. This is what keeps us fascinated by ESC and glued throughout the contest ❤
Agree with William about the UK.
Too sexual staging. The song in itself is also too much a Pet Shop Boys copy.
I'm Belgian and although we had the best song of this year, I agree the NQ was deserved. However, consider this list:
2006: Kate Ryan - Je t'adore: semi final
2008: Ishtar - O julissi: semi final
2018: Sennek - A matter of time: semi final
2019: Eliot - Wake up: semi final
2021: Hooverphonic - The wrong place: 19th
2022: Jérémie Makiese - Miss you: 19th
2024: Mustii - Before the party's over: semi final
Some of these vocals and stagings were on point. The real problem is France never votes for us...
Doing a Top 5 recap without the 5th place? How does that work?
Eden proved you all haters wrong! By disregarding her, you are part of the minority losers! AM ISRAEL HAI!
I was so happy to see Nemo win! They were rewarded by both strong support from the jury AND televote. Croatia have a new BEST showing and they should be rightfully proud of Baby Lasagna too!
Nemo deserved the win and I'm happy that Croatia had also a very good result. Proud of them both ❤
I was also surprised that we (Slovenia) didnt give Croatia 12 points. But we dont give it every year. Alot of time we give it to Italy (they are also our neighbours). But this year it went to France. If you ask me well deserved. But I am sad for Italy. She was so good! 7 place is not desrved at all. Top 5 for her
Definitely not happy for nemo breaking code would've rather see France or Italy on the spot. But Baby lasagna shouldve been winer if only the jury is not biased . Well he's public winer and at the end of the day that's what it counts for every artist and gives much more value to it in their career progress .
Btw uk wasn't my cup of tea but 0 public votes?! Isn't it suspicious..erm I don't trust much this Eurovision machinery tbh
Thanks guys you are incredible.. Love you all much!!❤❤❤
shouldn't anyone talk about croatia's jury not giving switzerland a single point? foul play
@@or5645 Getting the most jury points in history of eurovision for his spinning microwave chicken perfomance making it the best eurovision perfomance ever is rigged to the moon. Croatia did vote unfairly, but dont forget that other 35 countryes voted unfairly for swiss. Dont come here teaching about moral 😂😂
Shouldn’t we talk about how many juries gave Croatia 0 points? Seven. Seven countries gave 0 points to a public vote winner.
@@juresibenik5281 poor whataboutism.
@@juresibenik5281 poor losing.
@@or5645I don’t ask you. Public votes speak enough.
Baby Lazanja WON THE HEARTS OF THE POEPLE!!! WINNER!!!
When someone doesn't give single point to overall favorite that means they don't judge, rather pushing their favorite.
6 countries did that.
Those aren't objective jures. They are supporters!
And Croatia giving 0 points to Switzerland... hm.
@@adrial1997 Monkey see, monkey do...
Our jury knew what was going on.
My heart is still broken. It hurts. They stole his victory so shamelessly and cruelly. Damn those little sold souls. This will never happen again. Maybe one day in the future Croatia will win, but it won't be MARKO. That's the point. He is irreplaceable and unforgettable. 💔😿💔😿❤️🔥😻
