the booing was nonsense.
poland was god damn bad. we got a good winner who even did get points from israel and ireland i mean what in the wooooooorld. wow. overall a great evening with a big surprise imo
Germany made me happy though, and gave Poland 10 points!

The crisis in Ukraine, drag queen winning and the gay marriage stunt comes to mind as some of the non-music things that I think this will be remembered for. The booing certainly didn't fit, but if you want a live audience you have to deal with people doing inappropriate things.
Well, of course you have to deal with it. But it's still terribly harsh for the two girls. And I was kinda impressed how well they performed today after the booing in the semi-finals tbh. They knew nobody liked them and still they got to perform once again...
And the ESC shouldn't be political, since the singers aren't responsible for the crisis...

even though i didn't like it, you can't expect people to not be affected by the information they get from the media.
and a lot of hate went through the western media towards russia lately, of course rightfully so but still.

Absolutely. It is very unfair to the girls.
In the perfect world ESC is not political, but that has never stopped it from being so before and it won't stop being it in the future. As sad as it is, policy will always play a role in any competition.

Classy way would have been if the host had after the initial booing before the second performance mentioned the 'Yes, boo 17 year-old girls, that'll realllly show Putin' line.

I'm curious, and this might be the correct place to ask. What is the name of the "host" for the Russian votes? She is a beauty!

Well, then make it political, but avoid blaming the people on stage for the shit they're government is doing. There should be other ways to show the denial of the government's deeds than booing some 17 year old twins, which should have had the greatest day of their carreer. If that's the only way someone can raise his/her voice against something, they should better just shut up.
I don't expect the people not to be affected at all, I expect them to have at least some sympathy for the PEOPLE on stage. And I expect them to be able to differentiate between two 17 year old girls and the government in their country - and I don't think that's too much to expect...
It was really ironic that after something like that, Conchita Wurst concluded the event winning and with her "Tolerance Speech".

They are still representing their country, a country which is doing quite a lot of dirty deeds as of late. I hope the girls don't take it personally, but I am very happy that the crowd boo'd Russia.
And I atleast liked the Austria song, infact it was pretty much the only song I liked. It's kind of funny, I always go into the ESC thinking "god that icelandic song sucks" and then I hear the rest of the songs and go "we might have a shot!"

About this whole booing thing: the strange implication that it actually matters is amusing. I bet my non-existent money on that girls did get the explanation what booing meant or understand it straight away (now that's something i dare to doubt) and the supposed target of booing does not really care for he knows what everyone thinks about it already.

4 points are remaining in my head after the show
- a draq queen with a beard winning
- an audience who is booing to 17-years old twins, who did a flawless performence ...
- france getting like no points at all
- and that denmark has a leonardo dicaprio
overall the quality of songs was pretty high compared to previous ESCs, which made it a bit boring aswell

I thought it was fun. Best song for me was Norway's. Other ones I liked were Sweden, Azerbaijan, Armenia, Iceland.
Cringe worthy were France, Italy and the one with the circle piano.
Cool that we got second. They certainly deserved that. Since last year we actually send out competent singers to these things.
I mean.. before 2013...

I agree, the government of Russia 100% doesn't care what an arena in Denmark does or does not do. That being said, it still shows support for Ukraine and might show Russians how some parts of EU feel about them as it stands, I feel those reasons are good enough to support the booing.

it also gives the russian gouvernment the opportunity to act like they are the victim in the whole crysis.
another point is that for me personally being originally from russia it scares me that russian citizens who absolutely have no impact on the political decisions their country makes get hated only because they are from russia. this intolerantial behavior is what makes europe look like the win of this man is only a facade they can hide behind.

I obviously don't think people should be disturbing normal Russian citizen, but when people are representing their country all bets are off. You get praises aswell as criticisms, and you just have to take it. Ofcourse it'd have been better if the representitive of Russia was older, but I assume being able to go on stage infront of 180M people, you can take a bit of booing.
Intolerence behaviour against a nation invading another nation? Yes, well I think I'm going to have to disagree with you, being intolerant against that kind of behavior is quite positive.
