I love how its the same every year. First everyone is excited for Eurovison and than everyone is pissed because of jury votes😂😂 but you still watch it every year and care

[oikok]

I strongly believe that there should be a separate trophy for the public vote's winner. And if the participant wins both juries and public, it's a golden trophy.

[oikok]

As is almost always the case in Eurovision: 1st place wins the trophy, second place wins our heart.

Luke Black running to the Finlands place in the background at 0:56 just warmed my heart

[SAMBLlNK]

I can’t imagine how embarrassed she was when she got 12 points but then the crowd started shouting for Finland💀

[henriz.l]

Well, Sweden is the first winning country to not get a single 12 points televote from any country.

[gabzonss]

people shouting cha cha cha through all the finale says it all 🇫🇮

[FishAndKid]

Imagine getting the third most votes ever by the public and not winning because 10 jury members decided Sweden would win even before the show.

[babuhaka]

Imagine getting 12 televote points from 18 countries and not winning. Versus getting 0 times 12 televote points and winning. Just saying.

[BillyTalent]

the audience shouting cha cha cha during the points says it all.. sweden only won the juries.. but finland won the heart of whole europe + australia

[leahrowden]

0:24 Swedish commentators: Oh my gosh! Loreen did it! She rewrites history! It is the first time since 1987, that an artist manages to win Eurovision once again!

[marcopastorino]

The final grade must be decided 60% by the public and 40% by these secret juries. Better still do 70% - 30%.

[zaihoupersonal]

The crowd was very unimpressed. The party was killed with this jury decision.

[sodsqvs]

The awkward moment when people are shouting 'cha cha cha' while loreen is winning Eurovision proves only one thing: that the voting system is a joke! Loreen doesn't deserve that for she is a great perfomer, but people should be able to vote directly for their number one without the ugly intervention of a jury!!!

[saine]

A winner that didn't have the people behind her for the win. The jury that knowbody knows who they even are had Sweden in their pocket... Finland got more than 100 points more by the people. I rather be on that side than a biased jurry with special interests.

[mickystuart]

As soon as i realized portugal wasnt going to win, i stayed to root for finland...i am usually not a fan of noise music and its not the type of song i would listen to in a daily basis but i do acknowledge that eurovision is for festival and party songs, i wanted energetic song to win. People have fun while listening to it, this is what we need...it should've won.

Looren has an amazing voice but honestly im tired because all of their songs sound the same, i didnt want israel to win either tbh...its like carbon copies of everything we have saw before and it doesnt mean its bad it just means its predictable and boring no matter how much energy they put into it

[randomstranger]

Someone should start a petition to make jury votes have less impact 💀

[TheAprilsgirl]

Did anyone even congratulate her? Luke ran straight to Kaarija, completely ignoring her 🤭

[rrjk]

Finland won the people’s hearts and that’s actually way more iconic than winning Eurovision. Käärijä, Europe loves you 💚

[mkfin]

They were literally shouting cha cha cha when she won
