    I wanted to, but since I was watching with family I had to watch a Polish channel with a terrible commentator, who couldn't even translate...

    Very sad that in fact, according to the people, Italy would've won (and Russia would've been second place). It's because of the judge votes that they have won. =\

    Personally, I didn't like Sweden's song. The visuals were nice, but the song itself was very blah to me. I preferred so many other songs than this one. I'd have been okay with it if the people wanted this to win, but seeing that Italy actually got the most votes via televoting makes me a bit sad and annoyed about Sweden's victory.

    Personally, I'd have loved a lot to win, there were a lot of much better entries in my opinion, such as Estonia, Latvia, Norway, Romania and Russia.

    I didn't like Sweden as well. And besides, Mans has made some pretty nasty homophobic remarks earlier. He apologised eventually, but the harm was done.

    I love his commentary, a worthy successor to the fantastic Terry Wogan.

    The funniest this year has to be

    Cue this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTyi2XeeoJU

    Naughty, naughty Graham! *slaps wrist*

    True. The effects where very cool, cannot remember the song at all though.

    Unlike their previous winner Loreen who had a brilliant song combined with a brilliant performance.

    Yeh, he apologised but still, it would have been nice to see someone else win. Plus you do have to question whether he apologised strategically to avoid his chances of winning being damaged.

    I liked the special effects but thought a lot of countries did better. I didn't watch the entire thing but like Greece a lot.

    Heyo, OP here. My favourite song out of all of them in the grand final was Serbia's Beauty Never Lies. It has a great message, and Bojana has a very strong, empowering voice. My top 5 would probably be:
    1. Bojana Stamenov - Beauty Never Lies (Serbia) which got 10th
    2. Nina Sublatti - Warrior (Georgia) which got 11th
    3. Ann Sophie - Black Smoke (Germany) <- This got 0 points, what??!!
    4. Guy Sebastian - Tonight Again (Australia) which got 5th
    5. Elina Born & Stig Rästa - Goodbye To Yesterday (Estonia) which got 7th
    I have other songs I like, but I wanted to keep it short ^_^
    I liked Heroes tbh, it was a good song, but I liked other songs more.
    My 6th would be The Makemakes - I Am Yours (Austria), which also got 0 points :frowning2:
