My predictions:

 

1. It's either Croatia (good ending) or Israel (bad ending) to me

2. France will serve a Switzerland 2021 result at MOST

3. Ireland will pull a Go_A and end up in top 5-7 at least

4. Switzerland is giving a televote bomb sadly, judging by the YouTube views and the engagements after SF2

5. The UK will flop

6. Ukraine top 10 (duh) and serve the best result in a death slot (#2)

7. Juries will tank Netherlands and he will be chanceless to win. Still top 10 though (if he's even going to perform tomorrow)

8. Italy are chanceless too after that hideous staging. But her charisma will get her to top 10 too

1. I flopped

2. I ate x1

3. I ate x2

4. Idk??? Top 5 in televote is pretty good. But for a winner it's not really good so I ate x3

5. I ate x4

6. I ate x5

7. -

8. I ate x6

Karlita is snatching PZE next year. Serbia kinda the blueprint for hyperpop at ESC if you think about it

only if you want a person as insufferable as E*en G*lan

Poor Olly

 

[Kummercell]

The Code is growing on me after the win  my heart said WINNERS only, IsraLOSERS not allowed

[JennyWayne]

Kaleen's performance was really serving

 

[velocity]

i didn't realize that olly is the guy from years & years until today

 

which makes the mess even worse because how do you have several successful albums under your belt yet turn out to be the worst vocalist of the night lmao

So whats people thoughts on the Jury I think it's needed to stop what was happening before which was people just voting for Neighbors, also the Jury basically stopped Israel winning. 

 

If Joost was able to perform I think he would steal votes for Switzerland which would probs allow Israel to win the public vote.

Poor Spain, only 11 votes from televoters  I expected at least 100 from public, our ZORRA deserved better

Why would we do that?

I want a messy and delusional host city bidding like Netherlands in 2019. I lived for that drama.

Jury voting felt rigged/influenced by some other factors. Yes, Switzerland was good and one of the TOP 5 favorites. But to get 12 points from like 30 out of 37 countries, even some no one ever expected them to give them to Switzerland is very questionable.

 

Thank god they stopped israhell from winning but Croatia was snubbed by the juries hard.

Same. I thought she would get 150+ points and end up in the top 10 

 

However, I was right when I said Slimane would get over 200 points while some thought he would only get 40. Talent always wins

Germany had 7.98 million viewers yesterday for the broadcast, they will never leave.

that was so fun lol

I remember one of the cities that applied for hosting had a venue that was just a big square concrete warehouse 

[Kummercell]

I was looking at arenas in Switzerland and I think the only arena that could be used is PostFinance Arena in Bern, everywhere else is just too small/too old

[Imagine Dragon]

Released viewership numbers so far

 

Germany – 7.98 million viewers – 36.8% share

United Kingdom – 7.64 million viewers – 56.3% share
France – 5.396 million viewers – 36.8% share
Italy – 5.341 million viewers – 35.96% share
Spain – 4.886 million viewers – 41.8% share
Finland – 1.2 million viewers

Nemo said in the post-winner press conference that they wanted their hometown Bienne to host

It has a population of 55k

 

[ZIVERT]

Viewing figures stayed consistent or went up in all the countries that matter, welp

 

[Atlantis]

Complaining about the juries this year is weird because that country would've literally won the whole thing without them (obviously if Joost wasn't DQ'd) and Eurovision would be over. Croatia was 3rd in the jury vote (higher than most of us expected) so why act like they tanked it. But let's talk about the Croatian jury giving 0 Switzerland and only 4 points to France.

Hallenstadion in Zürich has a capacity of 13.000, which is roughly the same as this year's arena

Some of my friends forced me to sit through this last night. Was as terrible as I remembered. 
 

Only really liked Cyprus. Unsurprisingly was towards the bottom of the ranking while yet another ridiculous moment wins the whole thing.

Slimane's performance in the finals was pretty much flawless and he would've probably do even better with juries if his voice was on point for the jury show. He was constantly getting undeserved hate from the gays. He was literally one of the best last night and should have been #3 instead of Ukraine.

I saw that one too but its last renovation was in 2004, it's been quite some time

Swiss Life Arena in Zurich could work but it has a smaller capacity
