Unbelievable that not even 376 televotes were enough to win the contest. Second highest amount of public votes ever. Jury has simply too much influence with an equal 50% vote as millions of people.

[TeddiACular]

I’m happy for Loreen, she has a good song but the juries make my blood BOIL. True winner tonight was Finland, who actually achieved second best televote result in history of Eurovision. So unfortunate that jurors buried them. Something has to be done about the juries because they ruin everything every single year.

[ignaciotorovillacura]

If other country have send this song, the jury would not give them that exaggerated score

[Nikki-txkh]

You're conscious this is literally the second time I have to see my favourite's televote win going to waste because of the juries weird thing with Sweden, aren't you?

[capecccc]

With all the televotes Finland got from thousands of people, the jury really made us feel small and insignificant.

[viivijarvenpaa]

There was such a big gap between sweden and the others that it was almost impossible for others to win. I feel like the jury has too much power, we all heard whose name the whole crowd shouted… it says it all. 💚

[diamondhands]

What a nice juryvision we had. Well done.

[fluberx]

Next year, let juries have 25% of the votes and millions of european people - 75%. That's would be more fair.

[lfamvs]

I really hope you guys get to interview Käärijä as well, I’m curious how he feels after ending up second❤

[ftgm_finsuth_]

Finland, receives the highest proportion of televotes in Eurovision History, and yet loses to the most recognised and famed previous Eurovision winner having received the most Jury votes in history with a lead of nearly 170 Jury points above the second highest scoring country (Israel). Let alone Sweden NOT having any 12 points from televoting in each country. Disgusting, unfair and absurd System which needs to be reviewed by the EBU.

[kaseykellums]

Welocme to the Eurovision-Generic-Pop-Song Contest, where interesting, culturally unique songs get over-shadowed by the judges' taste for diet-euphoria.😊

[Mistermies]

I hope this raises some serious discussion about the competence of these juries. A perfectly fine pop song with good performance was twice as good as the next best song? In a contest with this many quality pop songs this one stood out this heavily?

How was this two times better than Israel for example? This year's juries seemed to be "slightly" biased and they should be professionals.

Grattis till segern Sverige!

[Kauppamopo]

and how was this average radio pop hit the best song according to juries and with a record-breaking 163pts difference to 2nd, last 8 years average difference has been some 52, 25pts with lowest being 6pts and highest 114pts while median was 24pts

[anthonymc]

Lol what? There was NO JOURNEY. Juries had decided that she needed to win, hence the unreasonably high gap of the jury vote, because also juries knew how popular Cha Cha Cha was... they were anticipating it by giving Loreen too-much-to-be-true gap.

[MiloSkanemane]

@loreen is the best artist in the world!! She's won the Eurovision Song Contest 2 times!

[Vilhomatto]

Such timing to win with Jury loved performance as Sweden can now celebrate Abbas 50th year Anniversary with hosting Eurovisions in their country.

[jewelwinxffxffx]

I hope they will bring back the 2016 hosts next year, they were my favorites !

[RafaelSilva-wste]

She really went from being one of the most beloved winners to one of the most hated ones... It is a shame that this win feels rigged.

[idah]

There is no journey here to celebrate, it was calculated move and arranged by jury. Finland has insane statistics, winning both semifinal vote and the GF televote. Käärijä quite literally ranks the second in the most televotes list just behind 2022 Ukraine.

[splattrick]

The maximum number of televote points a country can receive this year is 37 x 12 = 444pts (you cannot vote for your own country). Kaarija scored 376pts which is like basically 84.6% and results revealed that he was in the top 5 in scores of all countries. Meanwhile, the juries which are supposed to balance out the popular vote all chose to dump their 12p's on Loreen... I have nothing against Loreen and congrats on the well-deserved victory, but I can understand public frustration about the overwhelming disconnect between the jury and televotes which just makes everyone doubt the relevance of jury votes. Loreen's 246pts is 55.4%, a far cry from Kaarija's 84.6%.

I know nothing can be done about it now and while Kaarija was my champion I accept the results. But it still sucks that juries chose an entry that was much less controversial than highlighting an entry that was much more bold, had more impact and originality.

So yeah nothing against Loreen but everything against the juries. Because this kind of voting makes us worried that artists will play it safe and deliver commercial bops like Unicorn instead of experimenting and making the show more interesting. Most ESC fans are here for diversity and we don't want the juries to get in the way of that. Juries should encourage entries that are fun, bold, and not afraid to be different.

And yea just balance out the votes instead of sending all possible 12p's to one country sheesh.
