Eurovision Song Contest 2022 #3

[welp]

to be fair Eurovision is always virtually a 50 % a political voting (and it used to be 100 %), so I dont think it's very fair to pretty much put a asteriks on it because of the war.

Now look....

I'm going to say it...

Maybe whoever comes second should host next year if Ukraine are unable to

 

[Lilu22]

Not ready for Sam to not be our representative anymore

 

[TheRtHonClaraStoker-Daly]

I love you all, btw. Thanks for an amazing two-months of fun to the die-hards. You know who you are.

Should’ve been a thing that if Ukraine won whoever was second hosted next year imo (as long as the second place country was willing to host)

Yeah, going to be a bit tricky hosting Eurovision in Kyiv next year.
Since we came 2nd and Zelensky is big pals with Boris we may end up hosting it in support of Ukraine.

 

[Penguin86]

Would have won if stuff wasn't happening in Ukraine

 

[Geexoxo]

And stop with 'it's coming home' attitude. Please. You guys do yourselves no favours

 

[LoopyLou47]

So next year its hosted in a war zone?

I think its either Sweden or UK have offered to do it.

 

[Motherofboys]

So…..
Are we hosting next year?

 

[Yellowfairy]

How is Ukraine going to manage to host it next year?

 

[calmyourritas]

It’s like the Euro finals all over again 🥲🥲

 

[WordsFromReuben]

I think we ought to host next year as we would have probably won this one had it not been for Ukraine.

hrmm not sure about that I feel we have gone up in a lot of countries estimations because of the support we are giving Ukraine

 

[BubbleDuck]

It’s worth remembering that Sam won the jury vote, and still did amazing in the public vote . Yes Ukraine got more public votes than they may have done in another year , but it’s still a decent enough Eurovision song . The whole point of Eurovision was to unify European countries after war, so it seems fitting that Ukraine have won

 

[Shesaidwhat?]

So…..
Are we hosting next year?

We can’t we won’t be able to put the lights on

 

[Scragbags]

And stop with 'it's coming home' attitude. Please. You guys do yourselves no favours

 

[Beaversabout]

I am emotionality exhausted from all this.

 

[LadyMuck]

Tbh the song isn't that bad

 

[Lilu22]

Sam came 6th in the public vote? Pretty good going

 

[HelloHeyHi]

We can’t we won’t be able to put the lights on

We’d have to use torches

I liked the Ukraine song anyway, but they were always going to get the sympathy vote. Sam will be coming back to the UK a star. Those boys will be conscripted into the Ukrainian army to fight for their lives, so good for them that they had a lovely night and won.
