    Staying positive, Poli Genova coming in the top 5 was the opposite of a crime. She totally deserved it.

    The major crime is the "professionalism" of the juries, which is a blend of politics and their unsolicited opinions.

    Totally agree with the top crime from Wiwi - a deliberate and cold blood sinking of the true winner. Mind you it is the second year in a row when 'professional' jurers voted down a crowds favourite and a winner of the televote. i actually don't think they were trying to get Ukraine on the top, I think it was supposed to be Australia as per the grey cardinals plans (just think whose merchandise was on official sale in the Arena, right Sweden and Australia). However it joys my heart that it is Il Volo and Sergey who are in the biggest demand and their commercial success will reconfirm true winners.

      thats why we understand in Russia now, that its useless to send the best Russian artists, the jury will never let Eurovision happen in Russia again. Sergey, Polina will not come back. there is no sense....50 % is too much for juries.In the semi final they gave Sergey good points, but in the final they changed their points, not giving even 1 or 2 points, it would be enough for him to win! didn't he deserve 2 points or 1 point from the experts? was he so bad? half of experts gave him zero in the final only!!! it was the biggest crime for sure!

    • @discoheavenxx
      @discoheavenxx 8 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Exactly! Russia has stepped their game up and the televote has proven it. We're ready for another Russian victory. The public has left political bullshit aside (the televote from 2014 to 2016 prove it) but the juries haven't! The juries need to get axed or at least shift some of the power to the audience...50% is way too much power for five people per country.

    IMHO, the worst crime is that 37 out of 41 national juries gave Australia points. especially comparing to 21 and 17 juries not giving Russia and Ukraine a single point respectively. Australian entry was good, but not that overwhelmingly good to get such an appreciation. To me it was obvious that they were helping Australia win. and that was not just a disgrace - it was corruption. A real crime.

    • @pomina5653

      The juries placed Australia first because Dami's vocals are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G and she managed to transform a good song into a great one. If they wanted Australia to win just because it's Australia they would have placed them first last year too.

    My top 5 crimes:
    1. Czech Republic got only 41 points total (and 0 televoting points). However: I voted for Russia instead of CR because her staging was horrible in my opinion. I prefer her song over Russia's but the staging was too weak and so she became "only" my number 2.
    2. The voting resulted in a winner who wouldn't have won a pure tele- or jury-voting. A song which nobody wanted to win won in the end because the juries have robbed Russia by voting it down so massively. This was the second time the juries prevented the televoting winner to win this thing (in both cases by a huge margin) but this year it was even worse because even the jury-winner didn't win. I didn't expect that Russia would win the jury voting. For me the song was ~ 2nd or 3rd. But I also didn't expect that they would rank this song so low that it wouldn't have a real chance to win.
    3. Juries were rude to Poland.
    4. Juries killed Kaliopi (didn't expect this, I was sure they would rank her much higher than the televoters).
    5. Estonia became last in the semi-final (however Jüri's performance was horrible and let him appear like a big asshole)

      Yes, he showed a very high level with his cheesy, dated, generic and trashy europop song. And of course let's not forget the gimmick the staging was. Your comment makes me laugh XD
      Trust me, Eurovision would have been even better without him.
      The REAL countries that showed high level this year: Iceland, Norway, Italy, Switzerland, Poland, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Armenia, Australia, Israel, FYROM, Bulgaria, Serbia and Croatia. These are quality entries and we need more of them at Eurovision. Don't worry, we can survive without Russia's cheap rubbish.
      Last year you sent an amazing and meaningful quality song performed by a great singer and I'm happy you did better because it would have been a shame to see Sergey doing better than my beloved Polina. Please send something similar again and you will deserve to win. No more generic songs for the victory. For a good result yes (if they are good), but NOT for the victory.

      As an American, I was very disappointed when they blocked the TH-cam livestream. I was saved, however, when they actually played it on tv. I thought that it was so nice to be able to watch it on tv, but my biggest crime was the American commentators. They made me want to rip my hair out. They related EVERYTHING to LGBT stuff (now don't get me wrong. I still support the LGBT population, but they were going off for ever about the singers who either supported LGBT rights or were LGBT) and during the voting process, they bashed the returning stars of Eurovision (Marayya from Slovenia and Nina S. From Georgia) by calling them show offs and dissing their style. Overall, they knew nothing about Eurovision and only focused on the LGBT parts of it.

    • @michelsennett5375
      @michelsennett5375 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I would expect nothing less from Carson Cressley. I don't know the other commentator, but they don't have the experience and knowledge that the European broadcasters have. I watched it here in Norway from the Swedish and Danish television and they were great and balanced. The Danish commentator was bummed that Denmark was not in the final. I was even at the Telecom arena to watch it live at a big fan festival. I'm glad that Eurovision supports the LGBT community but that is a spoke in the big wheel of Eurovision.

  • @MrMike855
    @MrMike855 8 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    You always mention how politically driven it was that Sergey got shut out from half the juries, but you never seem to mention that Jamala got nothing from 18 juries. Also, you guys admitted in the Wiwi jury that Sergey's song was cheesy and dated, but you still loved it. The only thing the song had going for it was the stage show (which took many influences from previous songs) and Sergey's vocals (which, thanks to the aforementioned staging was good but not great). The lyrics are borderline meaningless and, considering that it did about as well as 1944 afterwards, was not radio friendly. So there are plenty of reasons why juries shut Russia out. As opposed to Jamala, who gave a very chilling performance, staging that conveyed the song's message, meaningful lyrics and a very unique, memorable beat. Its only problem was that it didn't remotely sound radio friendly, but it wasn't designed to be. So, overall, it was far more surprising that Jamala was ignored compared to Sergey.

    1. Ghost last place

  • @michelsennett5375
    @michelsennett5375 8 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Has anyone forgotten Norway.. or was the song and Agnete so forgetable? Sure she didn't wine and dine with the media, but not qualify? Romania should blame itself and not the EBU for betraying Ovidiu. But as I see from the comments, there are a lack of comments about this! So I agree with 4 of the top five kids.
    Other 'crimes':
    1) Only 3 songs were performed entirely in a language other than English. We all know that English is the language of pop music, but please!
    2) to add to number one.. France used English! Sacre bleu!
    3) Latvia coming in 15th place when it was a top 5 buzz on all TH-cam channels before the contest aired!
    4) Freddie 'singing' English
    5) Italy using English
    6) The first semi-final interval act with the refugee theme. A dose of guilt anyone?
    7) Justin Timberlake not on the DVD
    Sergey deserved much better.. hope we see more of him!

I mean i dont think its just about the song or the performance, i think its also because its just Spain and not Sweden or Russia, if this song and performance was exactly taken as it is to Stockholm representong Sweden, it wouldv placed much higher!
