"We should withdraw. It's just political

UK was rubbish!

There is that… but don’t let that get in the way of his rant!

Some of the public votes scoring surprised me… especially Malta! well you had Iceland down to win

The uk public gave 10 points to Iceland and 12 points to Lithuania… so a lot of people agreed with me….

I think what we saw tonight was definitely a rock vs indie vs cheese divide…. And this year rock won…

"

Iceland didn't win , get over it

We would win it with a Ska song.

We're trying too hard to be popular.

Plus it would reflect our diverse culture.

Besides the winners never carry on being big hit wonders, they are forgotten till the next review.

The nil pointers are always remembered....weirdly.

True statement like where are all the winners from previous competitions it just goes to show how rigged the system is sure one year blue a well established band couldn't win it the proof is in the pudding there

I know they have been doing it for a few years now but how does the public voting work.Did no one call to vote for the UK song is that why he got 0 points.I think Italy got over 300 points in the public vote and Iceland got 180 points does that mean 180 people called to give Iceland there vote.

I think there must be some rounding going on. Either up or down. Someone must have voted for the UK. His family and friends

We came last in 2019. Third last in 2018. And now last in 2021.

Prior to these, we had top 2 finishes 20 times.

Our song was acceptable, certainly not the worst. I thought it was good enough to get near the left side. Our stage presence was dire.

Joke voting again. So predictable in places.

How much do we actually spend on this these days? Maybe time to join the pack and take our chances in the semi-finals.

And I never want to hear the winning song again. It is dire!

It will be a system similar to that although I have no idea how many real votes count as one Eurovision vote. The UK obviously didn't get the minimum amount of votes to chalk up one point

This looked exciting. I wish I’d watched and joined in this thread. It seemed so much fun to share along the way.

I heard a Norway’s and Italy’s entry last night. Very different but both were good. The staging was amazing. Not at all like Eurovision of the past. I think the last one I had a glimpse at was in the early 90s.

Wasn’t Norway’s named after someone in the Forum....?

There will always will be politics when you talk about different countries, but the winner always have something that stands out. Now if UK would have been in top 10 - THAT would be political, because the song was rubbish

Sort of… basically it is the same as the national jury votes added all 38 voting countries together….

So for example… the uk jury made up of music professionals gave their 12 points to France and 10 points to Switzerland … but the uk popular vote of us normals gave our 12 points to Lithuania and 10 points to Iceland…

So basically the music professionals 1,2,3,4 was Switzerland, France, Malta, Italy ……. But the popular vote 1,2,3,4 was Italy, Finland , France, Iceland

Why are they wasting their money? They pay a pittance and in the process get hours of programming with big figures. The cost of this for the BBC is a fraction of what it costs for an episode of Casualty

She WAS dreadful. Her attempt at actual Dutch (goedeavond) was horrendous, but then the "c'est la vie". Crumbs. We've both learned beginners Dutch and it's really not that hard

His family and friends would have to be outside the UK to vote for him. You can't vote for your own country.

Bill Bailey has said he'll do it next year. I hope the UK selectors take him up on this. He'll write something original, play it straight (for laughs) and he'll have his show for the next tour written on the back of it.

My favourite was the Ukraine song, it was manic, stomping, a proper drinking song after coming back from slaughtering an army of Wiblings.

The lead singer looked amazing like the bride of Dracula from another dimension.

One of the best Eurovision's.
