lol... UK gets 3 points from the public vote. Last place no matter what else happens.

God damn that was trash. 99% of the songs written by ed Sheeran. Curry was nice though.

Aye - all of the best UK artistes are out releasing albums in their own right.

Well, it was a great show.

I didn't like the top two songs though.

Norway & North Macedonia for me.

The Aussies were pretty radical.

Well in the end I liked Australia and Denmark. 

Mostly surprised by how poor Madonna’s vocals were

For me the Dutch song is hands-down the worst winner I can remember. Nothing good to say about it at all. 

Thought Spain were harshly done by, disappointed for Norway and Italy.

Optimistic interpretation there. I took it to mean: "fuck those arrogant Brexit wank rags" 

UnclePsychosis

Oh, and sad to see how far Madonna has fallen.

Absolutely butchered one of the greatest pop songs of all time and then followed it up with a dreadful autotuned cod reggae number that would have threatened to steal last place from the UK had it been entered in the contest.

Time to retire gracefully methinks.

What happened to Madonna, she looks like a cross between a pirate and the bride of chuckie

That's the excuse people make, but would you buy the UK song, would you go find it and click on the link? I thought it was the 2nd worst song in the competition.

Only that it wasn’t as shit as Sweden. The Swedish guy was so full of himself it was untrue... the look on his face when he didn’t win was priceless.

Norway won the public vote which says a lot, and I didn’t understand why Spain did so badly in the jury votes either.

And Madonna... just why?

On a side note, I love the fact that this is in Off Topic, rather than Music. Seems entirely fitting.

Madonna... if she’d just turned up in her jeans, t-shirt and a band it’d have been, ‘you had a bad night luv, don’t worry, it happens’ but when you dress as Robocop and surround yourself with the Death Star chanting monks you’d better have a voice that can live up to the occasion.

Awful. The day that music died....

Which saved my bacon in the bet with Mrs G: Norway was absolutely nowhere after the jury votes.

Sweden and North Macedonia both did terribly in the public vote.

I saw that the Icelandic band whipped out "Palestine" flags in the green room when the camera was on them. The cameras cut away quite quickly, of course.

This and Game of Thrones....guess what? I've never watched either.

She reminded me of Kurt Russell as Snake Pliskin in Escape From New York.

I really didn't like the Swedish one, but apparently it was a hit so it was a bit of a surprise that he failed in the public vote.

I quite liked the Madonna performance.

So is Madonna’s career now.
