They're probably all Muslim. They got 2 points from the Irish jury. Because of last year's cancellation, all performers were at least 18 years old this year. I didn't watch the Brits on stage, as male performers are no interest to me. But the high point of the night was when it was announced they got 0 points from the public. It's the first time since the change in how the votes were announced in 2016, that a nation got 0 points from both the public and jury votes. So it must have been truly awful. Italy won for the first time since 1990, when they edged us out late in the voting. That was a song back then, but if the reprize is anything to go by, this was basically a three minute version of Lordi, without all the gear. Not my cup of tea. Ireland got 4 points from the European public, and 20 points in total, finishing last in the semi final for the second time running, 95 points away from 10th place Norway. Malta won that semi final. The announcement of the public votes is incredibly tense. Maybe it's time to extend that to the jury votes also. They are the opposite of exciting and they take too long to go through them all, especially when they come from Greece and Cyprus and all the "thanks for a wonderful show" comments. We know it's a wonderful show, that's why people watch it, but it's gone midnight or even 1am at the venue, just give them the votes asap so they can all go home for another year. |

I think this video supports the fact Newman was only there for the craic James Newman, take a bow lad.

I'd hold off if I was you. Videos surfacing of the Italian bucko snorting Charlie and a bag of the stuff on their table. How dumb would you have to be...

That's a way to get me hopes down! I don't think James Newman knows about the result, everytime the camera was on him he was holding 2 pints in his hand, he was definitely there for an excuse for a massive bender.

As usual, the best night of the year. Few drinks, few laughs, perfect. Hopefully try to get to it next year. The wife is already looking for hotels in Rome. Probably end up being in Turin or something.

Voting is the best part of it. Bringing back the juries alongside the public vote has helped immensely and cut down on all the Eastern European and Balkan shenanigans
