   Came from the future to say the UK still sucks year after year and Brexit effect is surely fading.

   it is neither a song contest or a popularity contest it is a political arena where the voters are under the thumb of the all powerful pc brigade

   The UK literally came 2nd in 2022! So no, Europe doesn't hate the UK. It just has sent uncompetitive songs.

   Last night it was sympathy votes because Ukraine's entry was bang average. Most of the songs were better than that

   Yes it's political, look at the results this year look at the situation in Ukraine, Russia isn't there at all because of politics not because they have no performers or an Inability to think of a song

    If it was up to cluster voting Balkan countries would win every single time, having so many neighbors . But as we all know that's not the case, so Britain has nothing to complain about when their songs are just awful. 😀 😀 And it's pathetic, cause usually outside of Eurovison terms there are some really good artists making really good songs in Britain. But when it comes to Eurovision, you just send sh*t. 😀 😀 So don't be crybabies blaming it all on other countries and Brexit. No one cares that you left the EU. I mean, there are some political neighbor voting, yes. (usually because a lot of ethnic spillovers over the borders, example, a lot of Albanian expats live and work in Italy, so they vote for their ethnic homeland ) But it never determines the winner. OK so here is an idea: Why not Britain let Scotland and Wales secede and give Northern Ireland back to the Irish and maybe you'll have neighbors that like you and will vote for you… then you might not be such crybabies 😀 😀

    As an Australian I can say in confidence that the UK does poorly because they send terrible performers. Every time Australia has sent someone good, Australia did well, every time Australia sent someone bad, Australia did bad….

    That being said, Sound Of Silence 10000% should have won 2016 Eurovison and I am still incredibly salty about it. like WTF, in the semi-final it got 50 more points than the Ukrainian song but in the final it lost by 20.

    Andorra wasn't in the competition this year. Germany has a ton of neighbours and yet only did well when they sent a quality Ed Sheeran style singer three years ago. Do alliances have a role? Sure but it's probably only that certain countries don't get nul points or bottom places but even then….Latvia is part of the northern voting block and more often than not these days comes dead last even if they've never had a nul point score. Even Italy, this year's winners who usually place in the top ten, did badly when the Sanremo winner declined the offer to compete and the artist they sent wasn't great. France often don't do well either sometimes the fan community think they actually don't do as well as they deserve. It's more complex than this presents it as, has a lot to do with culture and shared culture, fame of the artists in certain eras – the Serbian act this year are apparently huge in the Balkans, the Moldovan entry was written by an Eastern European Svengali and Greeks and was a huge hit across Eastern Europe, the Norwegian contestant is a huge star in his home country so it's not inconceivable he has a fair few fans in neighbouring Sweden and Denmark. Then there's factors like regional musical preferences for example the Georgian jury gave Italy twelve points because Georgia tends to like it's rock music and has sent quite a few rock entries over the years. Then there's diaspora votes the British Isles are home to quite a few Lithuaninans or those with descent from that country who will vote for that country although this year that country's entry was good and other places had them top of their televote. We were just very bland and not that great in a contest which featured two really exciting rock bands who were both seasoned performers and ergo able to slay on stage, a full on Edith Piaf performance from the French performed to perfection, a spine tinglingly excellent singer from Switzerland, two quirky pop acts with endearingly daft dance moves both excellently well sung. One of them – Iceland creating more buzz in the British media than our own entry even before the contest happened and they did a lot better than we did. This was because the Icelandic act was so charming that few can't help but love them. Their staging was top notch too as was Russia's who usually do well as they absolutely excel in that area and send quality artists. The one year they didn't they didn't get past the semis. Ukraine also has good staging and quality artists and this year they felt like a revolution with a genuinely innovative song that introduced a style that would be utterly unfamiliar to western Europe and western Europe mostly lurved it. We don't take risks – Italy and Ukraine did and they got rewarded with huge televote scores including points from every country.

    The map at 3:40 debunks the whole premise, the graphic is just made so convoluted that the audience is supposed to not notice it. Ukraine's votes came from its "neighbours" which apparently includes France, Italy, Israel, the Baltics… and Serbia's sphere of influence apparently also spans a "small neighbourhood" from Greece to fucking Switzerland.

    EDIT: Also, if the cluster theory is true, then the UK should have a massive advantage given that it's in the northern and western cluster, two clusters that consistently produce winners. Maybe just pick a either a better or at least a more interesting song next time.

    You have the chance of being a European or global channel.
    This kind of content will only make you smaller, just as brexit will, and showcase the English struggle when it comes to accepting their decadence within a West in decadence.

    UK got no points because they weren't great this year. The UK does not have a distinctive language to different themselves like France or Italy with makes its performance forgettable

    you can tell me whatever you want, I will never stop believing that this contest is purely political. Ukraine winning when Crimea got annexed, that trans person winning to wave a imaginary rainbow flag all across Europe and Italy wins right after they got hit so drastically by Covid.

    Yeah, there is a reason why you can usually manage to guess the winners even before hearing their songs.

    Britain should submit separate national entries – I mean look at ex-Yugoslavia. Wales has a tradition of fine singing talent in both English and Welsh/Cymraeg. England +Scotland too of course. As Brits we LAUGHED at zero points for UK. It made the night complete for us.
    To be honest the UK entry deserved NEGATIVE points. No-one here had ever heard of that fat slob before. There wasn't even a domestic pre-selection contest.
    To think we have Ed Sheeran, Adele, Little Mix, Robbie Williams, Dua Lipa, One Direction, Coldplay and and and…. Bit sad for Europe really. They shouldn't be allowed to sing in English at Eurovision but only in their own tongue(s).
    Ukraine should have won in 2007 (came 2nd – my all time favourite). Also Gina G in 1996 and Poland in 2014 – it was fixed for that Austrian clown to win to 'embarrass' Putin. Anyway by all accounts 2021 featured some fabulous songstresses in particular. The winning act from Italy was cringeworthy. Inserting mention of Brexit shows how inward looking these self-styled EU obsessives are. They should get out more.

    the UK takes Eurovision as a total joke, doesn't take it seriously whatsoever, yet then complain when we don't win…..
    The UK actually took Eurovision pretty seriously in 2009, Jade Erwin actually went across Europe promoting the song —- and guess what, we came 5th!

    I know, they started a huge marketing campaign for the song contest but I really wonder why it is still relevant. Now, I'd understand if each country would send a real artist with a real song but the only people participating are third rate wanna-be artists and the "music" (I hesitate to call that crap "music") is just bad.
