The most mediocre song to win in a long time, I have no idea who or what makes up the Jury and their votes, but the public voted hugely in favour of Finland, who are the people's champion, and my champion
I do have to say, though, the Liverpool and the BBC (staging the event) has done really well, I might not always love the commentary, but the show was a spectacle.
I do think there are UK artists with an international following that should give Eurovision a go, with the right kind of catchy tune.
Edit. I may be slightly pissed, after the voting drinking game.

I agree, but they’ve got successful careers already, that they probably don’t want to jeopardise.

I do think that's where the UK gets it wrong a bit.
Even if they don't win, it's memorable and decent song, how well are songs like Cliff Richrds' Congratulations remembered?
I don't have a particular artist or group in mind, but, even some of those involved in greatest hits tours must have a song or two that they think would work.

Yeah it's done wonders for Sam Ryder - suspect a lot of popular signers on TikTok etc who haven't quite gone mainstream would fancy it, like he did.
The scoring system is a nonsense. Why spend an hour faffing about with jury votes only for the public votes to turn the whole thing in its head? What even is the point of the jury vote?

Honestly, it's very clear that the people of Europe have very little time for the UK, Germany and France. There have been UK entries with huge international followings that have barely faired better.
It just comes across like a big fuck you from Europe every time.
I said earlier, I hoped that maybe there would be some good will considering we basically won it last year, and we offered to host on Ukraines behalf - not a chance. must have been bottom of the public vote. Not liked or respected in europe this competition is about sticking it to "the man" as far as they are concerned.

Apart from last year of course, when it was a good song and a likeable guy?

last year when it was won by the best song that everyone loved.

It's a weird way of announcing it. All the build up for the jury vote (which goes on for ever as the announcer exploits their 15 minutes of fame), only to then rattle through the public vote.

There may be some resentment to the bigger countries who pay for it.

The bookies were 4/6 Sweden before any votes were cast. What a waste of money this “contest” is.

That really shocked me too! I know the Cypriot entry was an Aussie but Greece always give 12 to Cyprus
Italy 4th (He apparently is a continental superstar, his songs sell in millions)
France 16th
Spain 17th
UK 2nd last
Germany last
No such thing as a free pass in Eurovision.
