WOW I still can't believe Poland made it from last place to 8th those votes changed the leaderboard a lot!

Jury gave only 7 to Poland but Public 222 :D:D:D:D:D:D OMG ! Poor Poland :(

[adak.]

It's funny how some people say that Poland got all those points because of a high number of Polish immigrants all over Europe. We've been taking part in ESC for over 20 years and if it was true, we would have always been in top10. Surprise, it hardly ever happened, even when there only was public voting which counted. And in addition, we've got two 12s - from Austria and Belgium, which are not the most common destinations for Polish people, compared to e.g. UK.

Ukraine, Poland and Russia - is Epic.

Something is not right, country which had 7 points from the jury, was in the top 3 ppl votes.

Polish singer has beautiful VOICE, he doesnt need special effects, but this show is not about music, but about politics

[justinhamilton]

I can't believe Europe almost lost Eurovision

[dominikadamowicz]

Tell me how it's possible :) ? Poland only 7 from jury, how such a difference can be ?. It's not the only one. This year we know how it exactly works.

POLAND - THE TRULY WINNER OF THIS YEAR ESC 2016 .
Song- artist and singing - were the best.

[iVoofficial]

I'm loving this new voting presentation system! It was so intense last night!!!

[JolajnaLoja]

Wow, I'm so grateful to those who voted for Michał :) From 7 to 229...

Hungary and Poland were two of my several favourites but the jury didn't like them. And everybody knows why. It's disgusting how politics ruin things like friendship between people etc.... While I saw in comment sections of a lot of video how people like these two songs (along with others, of course). We can see the big difference between our and the jury's voting. (And just a thing about Australia: it's a good song but why the hell is it so overrated? It's EUROvision.)

[ja]

I already know the results, why am I still tense.

[blajdzik]

They should eliminate the juries vote. As you can see they are strictly political! People really know what is the best song!

[mdgsk]

That contest should be about talent and the best song not politics. The jury definetely was biased.

[mitsukosuki]

Poland is the best! To be honest his song wasn't very good but Michal Szpak is an amazing singer with such a powerful voice. Just listen how he sings 'dream on', it will blow your mind!

[joe_ita]

Poland was criminally underrated by juries that year.
