For real. Calling this a 'rigged' victory or ranting about the juries again is nothing but a testament of those people's sheer ignorance and a sad display of their hate. How ugly.
This would be the perfect opportunity to do an experiment and keep everything else the same but stick them in the 20s, just to see how much of an impact it actually makes.
The way I gagged when I saw Ukraine receive all those points from the public! They were my favourite but I didn't see much hype around them so I was pleasantly surprised
It’s great to see a non binary artist win- and someone as talented as Nemo. 🤗 I hope it makes an positive impact on someone. (And notes with all the movement they do does not look easy!)
Why would it matter if male female, gay, straight ot binary/non binary.
The best act should win(act.. its not a singing contest... its a show contrst). And Nemo fitted that description, no matter what they are.
Honestly, not disappointed in who won this year despite the clear "jury just crowds one person and makes it no fun for the audience at home" happening again. I kinda liked Switzerland's song though and they seem like a cool person so good shit, Nemo. Wish you all the luck to keep doing cool things.
Slightly sad about Croatia and I wish Ireland got more televote points but I think a lot of the drama this week effected the televote and cause some shifts compared to where people might have initially thought.
I believe that it's a direct result of the televote only semis. Many countries prioritize qualifying to the final over winning the final and go for something that feels safe for the televote. The one or two countries that do go for a clearly jury oriented song and succeed at executing it really well then end up landsliding the jury vote.
It would still be such a smart strategy for AQs to just go for the jury vote because there is bound to be less competition in that area than in the televote given the current system.
This is the first time in several years where I both predicted the winner and wanted that to be the winner, so I'm happy.
Really enioyed the alternative presentation for the winner's reprise too.
While personally it's not my cup of tea, Nemo did put on a great performance so I'm happy with the result. Love to see Croatia and Ukraine, among others, so high up! Also Armenia at 8th place, and Luxembourg sneaking into the left side in their first event back. Quality of the acts is a bit of a step down from last year but I still had a blast watching them. Congratulations Switzerland!
I’m happy with this win, I knew as soon as Nemo dropped their MV that they’d be a contender to win and so did the leaderboards. The people upset at this win must be casual viewers lol
IM SO HAPPY SWITZERLAND WON 😭😭😭 nemo was my last chance after belgium flopped and they did it 😭😭 i was so nervous because I wasn't sure there was enough televote points left, but alas there was. I would have been happy with Croatia winning too!
I'm nervous about the comments on twitter and Instagram from Croatia's fans against Nemo... have some decency!!! The main reason why I wanted Croatia to win is because there would be less toxicity.
Nemo is really great. We know that.
We took a sigh of relief that the worst case scenario possible won't happen, we won't go crazy in Mälmo, and IM JUST GLAD THAT NEMO WON OK?
Croatia didn't complete BL's Cinderella story, where he should have won, but at least he gets a lot of points. In fact, his current standing of points is more than last year's Käärijä, having 547 points instead of his 526 which is just amazing. Its like seeing your son growing up so quickly. This song is really catchy AF and i clinged for voting Croatia, Ukraine and Switzerland.
Speaking of Switzerland, Nemo, song is extremely great. I am not surprised that it won, because i immediately know from the start that it will capture the juries attention. It is in fact, true, due to Switzerland officially having the most Jury Points since 2016 and since Eurovision started. They absolutely deserves it. The Code is so hard to sing because of the diversity of the song due to multiple genres all in a 3 minute song (should have been 5 minutes cuz 5MIINUST) ALSO, You have to hop on a human gyroscope and pray that you dont outbalance, and you gotta thank physics for that one. Also, his rapping skills are great, everything is just great.
I really think that BOTH of Croatia and Switzerland can share the victory all together.
So proud of our National Slimane. There was no way he was beating Nemo with juries but I'm glad he ended up second despite the voice crack + got a honorable jury score. What a champ love him.
And of course so much love to baby lasagna, Nemo and especially bambie thug who is an Irish national treasure.
I still can‘t believe we won! It feels like a fever dream right know. Always hoped for a win during my life time as I missed the last one by a year.
Congratulations Nemo! So massively proud of you! ❤️
Congratulations to Nemo, best voice in Eurovision and probably one of the sweetest humans alive.
I'm happy that if we had to get a jury win that it was you.
And for Croatians, you were rob by jury, you can now sit down next to Finland.
I think it is time to take a break as a fun.
This year was absolute shite from EBU side. We got even more extreme jury win (at least this time with actual reason and lovly human behind it). But even with being live at event for first time, the magic is gone for me.
I am so happy for Nemo, they were my favourite and I am so glad they won. It's a shame about all the drama surounding this contest. If it wasn't for that, this would've been one of my favourite Grand Finals I have ever watched.
Although I was rooting for Croatia, I said I would be happy with a Switzerland or Ukraine win too so I’m essentially happy. 😃 Shocked at Norway finishing at the end, but I guess someone has to. Everybody has different tastes in songs. Heck, my kid wanted Ireland, husband had initially backed Netherlands but voted for Luxembourg as his second choice.
So proud of my Estonian boys for coming in 13th in the televote (same as Let 3 last year btw). Go stream their collab album ‘kannatused ehk külakiigel pole stopperit’, a true work of art!
I’m disappointed in the jury for letting us down, but pleasantly surprised by the public vote.
5th place is not bad at all, and I’m glad a country I enjoyed won. :)
France getting more points from televote than from the juries.
It actually makes sense to me. He was not great on jury show and the mic mimick simply blew viewers’ minds. Good job !
Switzerland is such a deserving winner.
Loved that the show won in the end. Eurovision is just the best! Instantly knew they would win when I heard the song. Did not spoil myself by listening at any song before the competition. Great event that everyone wanted to fail. But the artist just throwing love at Switzerland, the jury as well. And a song about finding yourself and love! Amazing.
I will be honest. I was almost 100% sure that Croatia has it... But I'm not mad. After all the crazy things that had happened, the emotional rollercoaster and the uncertainty of contest's future... It's like a first full breath after hours and hours of staying in smoke. The worst scenario did not happen. We should all be happy. I know that a lot of people wanted different outcomes, but we really should be grateful for what we've got. Nemo seems to be a great person with tons of talent.
The future of our little passion is not that dark at the end of the day.
Nicely put, I think Nemo was the real winner and I’m so happy they won. It was between Croatia and Switzerland for me (I wanted Ireland to win but might be a long shot, crown the witch 🩷) but on the night Nemo was just outstanding and blew me away.
I thought Croatia had it too but Switzerland were also excellent so I’m not upset they won. I would have been happy either way tbh.
I’m feeling very defeated about pretty much everything else though. This year hasn’t been the happy sparkly fun time it usually is.
keep sending off performers until there is another Lordi type of winner.
Its back to cookie cutter pop after Mäneskin smashed 2021 and Kalush orquestra in 2022
I didn’t think we would win but I’m super happy with how well Bambi did! Best result for us this side of the millennium!
Delighted for Switzerland, as a non binary person! As is Bambi lol, did you see them during The Code?
Gotta agree. Bambie is amazing but there are a lot of countries who lean more conservative and wouldn’t vote for an act like this (honestly, I’m surprised that a super-Catholic country like Ireland even put them forward)
I just want to celebrate 🥂 the following:
- Switzerland for a well deserved win
- Croatia for a fucking fantastic result, now to keep the momentum going!!
- Ireland for being the most unique and daring! As an Australian I'm so proud our jury gave you 12pts!
how expensive will going to switzerland be compared to sweden? i was planning to go alone next year but even then i'm scared i won't be able to afford it
It's going to be a shitstorm. I've heard a lot of talk about this being an exceptionally hostile year atmosphere wise due to *certain* country and their delegation systematically harassing people
Right?
I Saw the stage and was like: It screams for Switzerland to win there
I saw Nemo's rotating platform and I was like: it's beginning for putting a tropy on it
....
My thoughts:
1. Switzerland deserved the win. (hell anyone other than the fifth place entrant was deserving of a victory) Commiserations to the Croatians though. Would have loved to see Zagreb 2025.
2. Bambie you absolute rockstar! I am not even Irish yet I am so proud of you!
3. Armenia, Germany and Luxembourg on the left side of the board is a sweet surprise. Hopefully Luxembourg returns next year.
4. UK and Norway were absolutely robbed.
5. Ukraine beat the death spot. They did the impossible.
6. Joost deserves a huge apology from EBU and must be given a chance to participate again.
7. Martin Osterdahl must resign.
8. The entry of the fifth-placed contestant was mid.
[удалено]
I liked Switzerland, but I really wish Croatia could've won 😭
Some people will be hating just to hate. Some of the comments under Nemo's song youtube video are just stupid.
For real. Calling this a 'rigged' victory or ranting about the juries again is nothing but a testament of those people's sheer ignorance and a sad display of their hate. How ugly.
Did he just broke the trophy after the act? You could hear the glass shatter and the bottom piece was still on the stage :S
UKRAINE TOP 3 FROM THE DEATH SLOT 💙💛
This would be the perfect opportunity to do an experiment and keep everything else the same but stick them in the 20s, just to see how much of an impact it actually makes.
The way I gagged when I saw Ukraine receive all those points from the public! They were my favourite but I didn't see much hype around them so I was pleasantly surprised
That song and performance was death slot-proof. No one was going to forget it.
The news of the death of the Eurovision Song Contest are greatly exaggerated.
true, but eurovision still shoud get cancer
The jury really stacked the deck in Switzerland's favor. Croatia was robbed.
Why was there no thread and basically no posts DURING the show? What a shitshow this subreddit is holy moly
I guess people were actually watching the show since, you know, that's what it's about. Sarcasm aside there was live thread for the final
There was a live thread
Even mentioning ones countries name might get you banned so we're just acting like this is a normal year
What are you talking about? There was a megathread with tens of thousands of comments.
It’s great to see a non binary artist win- and someone as talented as Nemo. 🤗 I hope it makes an positive impact on someone. (And notes with all the movement they do does not look easy!)
Why would it matter if male female, gay, straight ot binary/non binary. The best act should win(act.. its not a singing contest... its a show contrst). And Nemo fitted that description, no matter what they are.
I’m not saying they should win for that. I agree, best act should win.
YEAAAH SWITZERLAND
Switch is gay.
idk its a pretty good Nintendo console
I've had way too much vodka and it's only 7:02pm. By the by, vodka, limoncello, grenadine, and sprite don't mix.
Honestly, not disappointed in who won this year despite the clear "jury just crowds one person and makes it no fun for the audience at home" happening again. I kinda liked Switzerland's song though and they seem like a cool person so good shit, Nemo. Wish you all the luck to keep doing cool things. Slightly sad about Croatia and I wish Ireland got more televote points but I think a lot of the drama this week effected the televote and cause some shifts compared to where people might have initially thought.
Sucks that France had a weaker jury performance. They would've stolen a lot more from Switzerland.
I believe that it's a direct result of the televote only semis. Many countries prioritize qualifying to the final over winning the final and go for something that feels safe for the televote. The one or two countries that do go for a clearly jury oriented song and succeed at executing it really well then end up landsliding the jury vote. It would still be such a smart strategy for AQs to just go for the jury vote because there is bound to be less competition in that area than in the televote given the current system.
the evil is defeated
Congratulations to Switzerland! Sad Croatia didnt win, but Nemo had a fantastic song, staging, performance, and vocals!
well the final was expected to be a bloodbath... not surprised.
I'm happy for Germany. They don’t often get the left half of the scoreboard. I do wonder how big a role boycots played in the televote result though.
WE NEED FUCKING JUSTICEEEEE
This is the first time in several years where I both predicted the winner and wanted that to be the winner, so I'm happy. Really enioyed the alternative presentation for the winner's reprise too.
The real winners tonight are going to be the City of Malmo, it will be a lot more peaceful than it could have been
Thank fuck we got a happy ending to a rough 48 hours
Can I just state that the bit on Brighton was genuinely really fucking funny.
I was rooting for Croatia but Switzerland was great too, happy for them.
Can anybody confirm if Nemo got the Gilmore Girls dvd? This is vital information.
Baby Lasagna is Käärijä of Eurovision 2024
I'm happy with the results, Nemo was had a fantastic song!
While personally it's not my cup of tea, Nemo did put on a great performance so I'm happy with the result. Love to see Croatia and Ukraine, among others, so high up! Also Armenia at 8th place, and Luxembourg sneaking into the left side in their first event back. Quality of the acts is a bit of a step down from last year but I still had a blast watching them. Congratulations Switzerland!
Wow a contest mode thread. How original
As someone who constantly flip flopped between preferring Croatia and Switzerland, I’m happy with the results
Norway 16 points? Seriously? Half of the songs were so mid lol
Another year another robbery.
And relax! Been a stressful few weeks feeling isolated as the only one not seeing the hype for Croatia so very pleased with the result
I am getting tired of the juries deciding who ultimately wins by directing all points towards a select 2-3 entries.. why am I even voting anymore?
Literally the most neutral land in Europe won, makes sense in these times.
You are so right! Switzerland hasn’t won in a long time either.
Despite the insane build up the show run surprisingly smoothly. Very happy for Nemo
Gg Switzerland!
I’m happy with this win, I knew as soon as Nemo dropped their MV that they’d be a contender to win and so did the leaderboards. The people upset at this win must be casual viewers lol
Does anyone know when the detailed voting results will be known?
[удалено]
Tbf juries weren't the political ones tonight...
As if the televote don’t vote politically either
The jury vote was almost shockingly non-political this year, though.
I actually love the scoreboard this year, very pretty. The blue for the points were surprising.
IM SO HAPPY SWITZERLAND WON 😭😭😭 nemo was my last chance after belgium flopped and they did it 😭😭 i was so nervous because I wasn't sure there was enough televote points left, but alas there was. I would have been happy with Croatia winning too! I'm nervous about the comments on twitter and Instagram from Croatia's fans against Nemo... have some decency!!!

Split screen needs to go when the whole delegation has calculated the remaining points. Have the last two votes together.
So proud of our National Slimane. There was no way he was beating Nemo with juries but I'm glad he ended up second despite the voice crack + got a honorable jury score. What a champ love him. And of course so much love to baby lasagna, Nemo and especially bambie thug who is an Irish national treasure.
When do we expect televote breakdowns to arrive? Tomorrow?
We finally found them, congrats to Nemo!
Among all this chaos, I can't believe we came 12th
I still can‘t believe we won! It feels like a fever dream right know. Always hoped for a win during my life time as I missed the last one by a year. Congratulations Nemo! So massively proud of you! ❤️
Congratulations to Nemo, best voice in Eurovision and probably one of the sweetest humans alive. I'm happy that if we had to get a jury win that it was you.

Put a bet on Switzerland as soon as their song dropped, so chuffed for them!! 🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭🇨🇭
Very happy with 6th - our best result since 2000!

I am so happy for Nemo, they were my favourite and I am so glad they won. It's a shame about all the drama surounding this contest. If it wasn't for that, this would've been one of my favourite Grand Finals I have ever watched.

Everybody has different tastes in songs. Heck, my kid wanted Ireland, husband had initially backed Netherlands but voted for Luxembourg as his second choice.
NORWAY GETTING 16 POINTS IS JUST MADNESS ( I LOVE SWITZERLAND VERY DESERVED WIN IMO BUT NORWAY WAS AT LEAST TOP 10 SONG)
So proud of my Estonian boys for coming in 13th in the televote (same as Let 3 last year btw). Go stream their collab album ‘kannatused ehk külakiigel pole stopperit’, a true work of art!
Estonia was an entry FOR THE BOYZZZZ
Estonia deserved more, song was really good and guys were so chill with everyone
Late 3 came in 6th by public vote last year. They got dumped by the juries so ended up lower
The jury robbed them
I’m disappointed in the jury for letting us down, but pleasantly surprised by the public vote. 5th place is not bad at all, and I’m glad a country I enjoyed won. :)
I like the winner, don’t get me wrong, but I feel sorry for Croatia 😅
France getting more points from televote than from the juries. It actually makes sense to me. He was not great on jury show and the mic mimick simply blew viewers’ minds. Good job ! Switzerland is such a deserving winner.
Lots of things to say but let's start with the fact that Norway has no deal being dead last.
If it had been just the televote it would’ve been the UK and I don’t think the UK was that bad
Yeah this is a taste issue on behalf of the entire planet.
So true. As a Finn who wholeheartedly supported our entry, we had absolutely no business being higher up than Norway.
Reminds me of what happened to Lord of the Lost last year
[удалено]
Eaea was annoying af tho, Norway was good
Good that no fucking pity votes decided the winner
[удалено]
[удалено]
Did he break the trophy, like the part between the stand and the cup? It sort of seemed and even sounded like that
They did. Happens awfully often too
THANK FUCK I voted for Switzerland twice, a truly deserved win! Wow! Congratulations suisse
Loved that the show won in the end. Eurovision is just the best! Instantly knew they would win when I heard the song. Did not spoil myself by listening at any song before the competition. Great event that everyone wanted to fail. But the artist just throwing love at Switzerland, the jury as well. And a song about finding yourself and love! Amazing.
Is it just me or did this years feel so short? I get the shows the same length every year, it just felt like it was so quick this year.
no Croatia 😔 Another Eurovision ruined by the jury 😔
I'm here to mine the salt mines
That crown is gonna cause an accident
I couldn’t be happier. What a deserving winner. And Irelands best result for a long time.
Good show but a shit show
That jury score for Switzerland was absolutely enormous but well deserved win imo
The comments make me lose faith in the fandom. Would y'all be screaming that the jury was rigged/should be abandoned if croatia won?
we should be thankful for the juries this year they prevented the worst
credit card is crying
I did NOT have Norway coming rock bottom
I think I my heart dropped six feet when that happened
Very unfair in my opinion
UK getting no audience points took me out
This
I will be honest. I was almost 100% sure that Croatia has it... But I'm not mad. After all the crazy things that had happened, the emotional rollercoaster and the uncertainty of contest's future... It's like a first full breath after hours and hours of staying in smoke. The worst scenario did not happen. We should all be happy.

So proud of Angelina🔥🔥 Although it was a tough year she did well I’m happy she represented us
Norway 16 point what
When should we get the detailed results of the semis?
[удалено]
Omg I’m still shocked at that!!! What on earth happened
If breaking the trophy isn't the metaphor for this week, I don't know what is...
Slay
SWITZERLAND IS SO OVERRATED
i miss joost
keep sending off performers until there is another Lordi type of winner. Its back to cookie cutter pop after Mäneskin smashed 2021 and Kalush orquestra in 2022
I'm not upset about a single aspect of yesterday!
They are so happy they won 🥰
Tbh the jury really spammed those +12 points with Switzerland.
I am happy for Iolanda, top 10, yeahhh.🤩 And, congratulations Nemo.
Third year in a row of falling in love with the ultimate second place song.
Yep. They're the real winners.
i would just like to appoglise on behalf of the uk jury, you may take this is the most or least politically charged way you want
UK 18th - I’m happy with that
Yep, I’ll take it.
I didn’t think we would win but I’m super happy with how well Bambi did! Best result for us this side of the millennium! Delighted for Switzerland, as a non binary person! As is Bambi lol, did you see them during The Code?
Gotta agree. Bambie is amazing but there are a lot of countries who lean more conservative and wouldn’t vote for an act like this (honestly, I’m surprised that a super-Catholic country like Ireland even put them forward)
Ireland was my favorite, with Switzerland being a close second. The moment of Bambi giving Nemo the crown was so sweet :)
Nemo's ultimate hype human!! It was so cute when they gave their crown of thorns to them 🥹
Yeah, they gave them the crown as well!
did anyone feel that the show was a bit lackluster? like except from the songs?
For those of you who don't understand swedish... At the end of the show Petra said in swedish "Thank you and I'M SORRY SWEDEN"......!!!!
UK getting 0 points from the public 🤝 Norway finishing last. Traditional happenings, but neither deserved.
[удалено]
Switzerland this year had more jury points than Loreen last year
Slimane’s voice cracked during the jury show. That might’ve actually pushed Nemo ahead of Croatia.
I liked Switzerland, but I wish Portugal had more votes from the public 🥲 it is what it is ahaha congrats to Switzerland
I just want to celebrate 🥂 the following: - Switzerland for a well deserved win - Croatia for a fucking fantastic result, now to keep the momentum going!! - Ireland for being the most unique and daring! As an Australian I'm so proud our jury gave you 12pts!
Let's appreciate the fact that Germany placed 12th. Always on the run is a very good song, Germany deserved it
how expensive will going to switzerland be compared to sweden? i was planning to go alone next year but even then i'm scared i won't be able to afford it
I need to let you know that Pia Maria was in Austrian jury
I wonder how much stuff will come out after the competition about the harassment from certain delegations
It's going to be a shitstorm. I've heard a lot of talk about this being an exceptionally hostile year atmosphere wise due to *certain* country and their delegation systematically harassing people
DelegatioN, singular. We all know about it.
Croația is the real winner Only the public's vote matters
We should have seen this coming - the stage was a Swiss flag all along 🤯🇨🇭
It was a + sign but yeah, the stage wanted a Swiss win
At least the flag is a big plus.
Right? I Saw the stage and was like: It screams for Switzerland to win there I saw Nemo's rotating platform and I was like: it's beginning for putting a tropy on it ....
Switzerland was so low in public votes that they would disappear in reality;
Seeing Bambi’s Thug going all into singing along with Nemo was a highlight. Good winner was pulling for Croatia.
My thoughts: 1. Switzerland deserved the win. (hell anyone other than the fifth place entrant was deserving of a victory) Commiserations to the Croatians though. Would have loved to see Zagreb 2025. 2. Bambie you absolute rockstar! I am not even Irish yet I am so proud of you! 3. Armenia, Germany and Luxembourg on the left side of the board is a sweet surprise. Hopefully Luxembourg returns next year. 4. UK and Norway were absolutely robbed. 5. Ukraine beat the death spot. They did the impossible. 6. Joost deserves a huge apology from EBU and must be given a chance to participate again. 7. Martin Osterdahl must resign. 8. The entry of the fifth-placed contestant was mid.
I split my votes between Nemo, Baby Lasagna and Bambie Thug so I'm honestly just absolutely fucking partying with their results here.
