I'm glad France is getting some love. I thought the part where he stood back from the mic and just sang on his own was absolutely stunning.Don't know about your algorithms but based on my tiktok and songs trending there, France won
Sometimes the simple stuff (much like when Duncan Lawrence won) really stands out and is very impactful.
Normally I don't tend to enjoy the standard French ballad that they like to send but they knocked it out of the park this time.
My friend sent me this
France was the one song that I think was genuinely a good song not just a good Eurovision song. The same way I felt about Sam Ryder and Spaceman.
Donāt get me wrong, I love a good Eurovision song personally but I donāt think they have the same broad appeal as stuff like this yearās French entry hence the reflection in what trends on TikTok etc.
This came up on my YouTube for some reason, last time Switzerland (a then unknown Celine Dion won). RTE went on to make a documentary of the making of the show entitled 'And finally France'. (I've just given away the ending)
Nemos number in the making. Same choreographer done several Eurovision number, for example Cha cha cha and No Rules for Finland and Heroes with MƄns Zelmerlƶv. He must have great imagination.
Yeah I think that might be me.Don't know about your algorithms but based on my tiktok and songs trending there, France won
Told you all he was fabulous
I agree, same with his acting. He basically played himself in It's A Sin, and pretty much everyone else outdid him. I think he is mostly hype and PR with very little substance
I think if he'd have competed before Sam Ryder (The Human Labrador Puppy) the UK public would've been delighted with his 49 points (even if it was zero public ones) - it would've just been the same old "nobody likes us, we'll never win blah blah blah".
Unfortunately for Olly, Sam proved that we absolutely could win (even though he didn't) if we send the right person with the right backing and the right staging.

This is so cool to see
I class Sam as having won to be fair. Nobody could win against Ukraine and their vote wasnāt about the music, Ukraine got the support to me and Sam won the contest hence us hosting it. (Though we have a history of stepping in to host so I donāt agree with those who say it was a fix to make sure we came second to host - I think even if weād been last there was a good chance the contest would have been in the UK not Ukraine unless the second place was another of the big 5).
We can definitely win, just need to get someone decent again with good staging. Less Olly Alexander and more universal appeal - or just send Sam again for his chance to shine properly!

despite the whole situation with Ukraine I genuinely think Kalush are one of the best winners. Their whole discography is pretty damn good
If you're talking previous entrants who have a great discography, Little Big is a very good shout. Especially if you like odd eastern European techno disco beats.
Samās song was ok imho; he has a great voice but that song was a typical jury fave. He placed only fifth with the audiences. He could have won over Ukraine if he had come at least second. I know that Ukraine got even more votes than usual because of the war, but the claim that Sam would have won if it hadnāt been for Ukraine, is a bit unfair. Moldova, Serbia and Spain all had more public points than him and thanks to the jury votes he managed to get second place over Spain by a mere seven points.
Iām sorry, I just donāt like people dismissing a very successful Eurovision country like Ukraine, just because UK for once sent a song that juries found radio-friendly enough to vote for

They are a very successful Eurovision country but I really donāt think theyād have won that year if it wasnāt for the war - whether it was Sam who won instead or someone else. The same for their elevated public vote again last year and this year, I doubt theyād have placed as well as they did either year without it.Samās song was ok imho; he has a great voice but that song was a typical jury fave.

The same way the UK are a very successful Eurovision country overall but there was no way in hell we were going to place well this year
. Saying one entry wouldnāt have done as well as it did isnāt dismissing Ukraine.I mean, yes, 5 victories in 66 years is very successful (Germany for instance has won only twice), but UKās last win was in 1997 (!!) when much less countries took part.
Ukraine was already getting very good results - including wins- before 2022, within a relatively short time of participation, thatās all Iām saying

I donāt think anyone was saying they werenāt tbf, just that they probably wouldnāt have won that year without the sympathy/political voteI mean, yes, 5 victories in 66 years is very successful (Germany for instance has won only twice), but UKās last win was in 1997 (!!) when much less countries took part.

Stefania is a banger and deserved to win. Also Ukraine weāre robbed the year before because Shum should have won.
