the ukraine song slaps but I do think they won due to sympathy votes. it's hard to say, I'd call it top 3 but not sure if it was *the* best song.
surprised that UK came second, the song was okay but I wasn't that big a fan. could they have won if not for the war?
and I amazed that sweden, belgium, australia, portugal, france and a few others got anything above 0 points. some really lame low effort songs

It's not a sympathy/pity vote but a solidarity vote. A vote to show we love them and Russia can go fuck themselves. A vote to show we care and love Ukraine.

Eurovision was made to bring Europe together, and voting for a country currently forced into a terrible war is the most "eurovision vote" you could make.

But yes, as I mentioned before, is insane we in the UK went from standard bottom place to would have won it, if not for the war. Hopefully we can keep it up in the future, as shown we are fully capable of sending something good now.
