Answer Totals
No 1,740 60.42
The lady from Israel could sing but it was a poor song. The voting was weirder than usual this year. Some really strong songs were seriously undermarked 1 0.03
I do not understand why Russia are banned but Israel are still allowed to perform. The Israeli singer was very talented and it was a good song, but they should not be allowed to participate while they are starving and bombing the people of Gaza. 1 0.03
👍🏻 1 0.03
Sweden was robbed and the UK was responsible for maltas bad result due to making her remove the word Kant so we deserved to loose. 1 0.03
It was the worst Eurovision so far. Acts were not exciting enough and they push lgbtq too much. It looks like as long as u r trans u r going to win! Not gonna watch again 1 0.03
As usual, it's political. 1 0.03
Interesting that uk public gave Israel 12 points 1 0.03
It is not a competition, it's just another form of exploitation capitalism and politics 1 0.03
It’s too political 1 0.03
Very dull contest all round 1 0.03
Pile of expensive nonsense 1 0.03
Israel’s song was good and sung very well, however with the geoncide going on by them they shouldn’t have been allowed to take part or sponsor the event etc.? 1 0.03
The right one won. Didn't understand what the UK song was about and the title was offensive but they sang extremely well. Austria was brilliant. 1 0.03
Isreal should have been banned 1 0.03
Bbc was shockingly against isreal 1 0.03
It is clear to me that Eurovision is not really about music, it is about politics. A ridiculous song won. Russia is banned from participating, yet Israel is welcomed and apparently receives so many votes it comes close to winning. It's all a sham... but an enjoyable sham, I admit. 1 0.03
Anyone caught booing should be thrown out 1 0.03
Israel should have been excluded, along with Russia. Right wing views are worryingly prevalent 1 0.03
Too much hype beforehand 1 0.03
Shocking resullt 1 0.03
Generally not a good year 1 0.03
I enjoyed it but the public voting was wild because of all the rogue votes for Israel. Definitely political because it was a very average song 1 0.03
Either make it Europe or the world 1 0.03
The jury vote makes things less interesting and I'm not sure that they are credible judges. Glad i didn't bother watching the results portion of the broadcast yesterday evening given the results. Well done to Estonia though. 1 0.03
Israel should not be allowed to compete while they murder innocent women and children by the thousands and we as a nation and a world do nothing, this is abhorrent behaviour. But we cannot speak out for fear of being labeled anti semitic, when Israel are carrying out a holocaust of their own, they wish to cleanse Gaza and the West Bank of the native population and we let them. It's disgusting how we pander to this supposedly civilised nation. They are nothing of the sort, they have done nothing but kill and murder Palestinians since they illegally invaded over 70 years ago. I in no way support Hamas but I can understand why they do what they do, I have experience of Northern Ireland during the troubles and I can see many parallels, although the British kept the indiscriminate murder of women and children to a minimum. 1 0.03
Free Palestine, Zionists are garbage. 1 0.03
Same rubbish as usual, should end now. Out dated. 1 0.03
Political as usual. High time it was scrapped. 1 0.03
Run on politics not talent 1 0.03
A lot of classic Eurovision songs this year, enjoyed 1 0.03
Too long and drawn out. I had to record it and finish watching this morning 1 0.03
Israel isn't in Europe. They shouldn't be in it. Same goes for Australia. The whole contest is a waste of time, and a waste of BBC money. Time we pulled out. 1 0.03
Why do the UK bother to finance part. The voting is always political & no reflection on song or performances. 1 0.03
Fun 1 0.03
Needs to be more silly and less long 1 0.03
Israel should not have been allowed to participate. And the whole 'political flags are not allowed' is a nonsense: Eurovision always had been political, and the fact Israel placed so highly in a competition sponsored by an Israeli oil company says it all 1 0.03
It shouldn't be treated as a political exercise 1 0.03
All very "same" 1 0.03
Great quality 1 0.03
The voting is clearly political but I love it anyway and I don't think the rest of Europe is wrong to judge the UK so harshly. 1 0.03
Australia should have been in with the milkshake man!!! 1 0.03
it seems its now for women with beards and and gay people what ever happened to lulu and sandy shaw proper people proper singers with talent 1 0.03
Same story year after year 1 0.03
Weak song choices compared to previous year or 2 1 0.03
Underwhelmed compared to other years. Think Israel shouldnt be there and their presence puts a damper on festivities. Good on Austria - not my pick of winner but that's okay. I wanted Sweden! 1 0.03
No thanks 1 0.03
Stressful 1 0.03
Staged well. Didn’t seem very cheesy compared to normal. Less songs were in English I think compared to other years 1 0.03
Why is it called Eurovision? Clearly not all countries are European 1 0.03
I couldn't watch a lot of the songs as too many flashing/strobe lights. Very uncomfortable to watch. 1 0.03
It's become political over the years 1 0.03
Very strong field juries did well. 1 0.03
Oi 1 0.03
I think it's amazing how the former Eastern Bloc and Baltic states get so many votes, I think there is some fiddling going on. The Australian entry (although not European and should not be in the competition) was far better than the likes of the entry from Sweden yet did not even qualify for the final. Yet you still get the likes of the lard arse from Denmark (who thinks honestly, that parading around in tight lycra when you morbidly overweight is a good idea, sounds like fat shaming, so what , perhaps it should have happened to them earlier in their lives by their doctors. So overall, the Europeans do not like us, so why pay for the perenial slap in the face, sod em, pull out and let them pay for it themselves as with Nato et al. 1 0.03
Noa! 1 0.03
There should be a divide between politics and Eurovision competition once the entrants are in. Leave the politics for the entry list. 1 0.03
Not as good as previous years 1 0.03
Something needs to change. I don't believe that Israel scored that highly with the voting public. Second year in a row. And in the UK, really don't think it would genuinely be the top scorer. 1 0.03
only watched the points at the end 1 0.03
No as it’s all just very political 1 0.03
All acts were really good standard and presenters superb enjoyed it all, didn’t like UK entry no passion or real fun. Israel should not be there if Russia is not both are making war. Seems votes were rigged for Israel Thank goodness for JJ and that awesome rendition Please get rid of that rude self obsessed twit Graham Norton 1 0.03
It’s a shame the public votes only count if the country makes it into the top 10 choices - lots of countries would have picked up smaller amounts of points, and no-one would left with 0 from the public, when anyone can see the broad appeal of their performances in the arena. 1 0.03
As usual very biased towards the uk 1 0.03
It’s absolute rubbish compared to years ago 1 0.03
It was great 1 0.03
Time we stopped giving it money 1 0.03
It should always be about the music, never the politics 1 0.03

Israel is not in Europe so should not be Eurovision, same goes for Australia. 1 0.03
Utter bollocks 1 0.03
Israel should not be allowed to take part if they are still attacking Gaza next year 1 0.03
How was Israel even allowed to compete. Political song contest it should be called. 1 0.03
Israel was good but it would be difficult to hold a safe contest next year if they did 1 0.03
Politically motivated audience results. But, not a thing you can do about that. 1 0.03

Waste of time. 1 0.03
Who tf is voting for Israel 1 0.03
It’s rubbish and voting is political 1 0.03
It's more political than a music contest. Maybe we should pull out, save some money. Have our own song contest where Wales, Scotland, N Ireland and England take part and other countries who don't do well in euro vision. I felt sorry for Iceland, they, like us should have had more points. Far too much strobe lighting and flashes. If song is good it doesn't need special effects or scantily dressed singers. 1 0.03
A bizzare winner 1 0.03
There was far too much use of strobe lighting. Some performances such as Austria and Armenia, were unwatchable and distracted from the strength of the actual songs. 1 0.03
What the other European countries have against uk is beyond me, but I feel this all gets a bit too political and not the music contest it should be 1 0.03
UK spend too much money for it for little benefit 1 0.03
Israel should not have been allowed to compete. Russia was banned for a lot less 1 0.03
Political judging, like always 1 0.03
As always, there's lots of political voting and neighbouring country voting 1 0.03
There were several novelty acts - more so than other years 1 0.03
It was a better competition than usual 1 0.03
Poor quality year 1 0.03
Hypocritical that the EBU banned Russia over the invasion of Ukraine but haven't banned Israel over the genocide in Gaza. Austria wasn't my choice of winner but thank god they beat Israel as I think a lot of the broadcasters would've quit if it went the other way. 1 0.03
There were a lot of songs worse than UK and they received more than us. Talk about voting for your neighbor 1 0.03
USUAL WASTE OF TIME FOR THE UK ENTRY 1 0.03

It's getting too political which spoils it very much 1 0.03

It's a shame politics still plays a part in voting. I always end up thinking the rest of Europe has no musical taste! The Latvian entry was sublime. 1 0.03
entries not as good this year 1 0.03
Bit boring - need more songs about wolves and bananas 1 0.03
I thought that the staging of the UK entry was a bit boring they needed a better set. 1 0.03
More fun needed 1 0.03
Thoroughly enjoyable entertainment. 1 0.03
Public voting system needs to be reviewed. How can a mediocre song that was 15th after the jury vote, receive such an enormous public vote. Vote fixing? 1 0.03
Great watch, as usual 1 0.03

Israel.should not have been allowed to enter, it's only allowed for financial reasons as they back it 1 0.03

Eurovision has become too much of a freak show and too politicised 1 0.03
It is a joke voting wise but annoyingly a must see event. 1 0.03
I loved it! A great winner. Although Remember Monday have exceptional voices, it wasn’t the right song or staging for them. Next year we will do better! 1 0.03
The BBC should stop funding the competition. It is clear from the last two years where the UK have received no points from the public vote that the rest of Europe don't like us. Our songs, whilst not good enough to win, deserved a few votes 1 0.03
Terrible 1 0.03
utter rubbish - worse than ever - the presenters looked frightened like deer in headlights, had no real idea what was going on, the acts were atrocious 1 0.03
Same old same old 1 0.03

It’s getting a bit boring now. 1 0.03
Very political in judging as always 1 0.03
I only watched the results part 1 0.03
It's rigged and too political. Israel should be kicked out for a start because they're warmongers. Over sexual numbers should not be encouraged such as Finland and Malta. It's not really a singing contest now it's who's got more power and political might contest. The whole system of voting should be overhauled. 1 0.03
It is a competition about songs not politics so Israel and Ukraine are on the same level as everyone else. 1 0.03
The politics of county votes is more and more evident every year 1 0.03
Wouldn't be surprised if some of the voting was rigged 1 0.03
Audience appeared to be very sedated not as excited as usual , the visual were amazing , hosts boring 1 0.03
I want them to go back to judge the voice not the theatrics and silly clothes I want pure talent. 1 0.03
Yes they should listen to other contreys better 1 0.03
The UK should stop paying it's way in and just go through the quarter and semi finals like the other countries 1 0.03
Too much! Flashing lights, and stage settings. What happened to the original songs????? 1 0.03
The UK need to do far better, the song choice was dreadful 1 0.03
Nothing has changed - it’s still very geo-political. No point in us being in it anymore. 1 0.03
I think it's definitely political the uk need to work on their relationship 1 0.03
Did not like the marking system. I like to see exactly what each country has been awarded from each other country 1 0.03

It wasn't as fun and entertaining as usual 1 0.03
Fed up with the politics. It's a music competition, for goodness sake. 1 0.03
Feel less people voted as could not vote by text or online. No reason as to why we can't vote online or by text in this day and age of technology 1 0.03
Just as bad as always and Graham Norton doesn’t need to be so sarcastic when commentating 1 0.03
It’s very political and I don’t believe it’s entirely the public vote without any alterations 1 0.03
The uk need to select better, in both semis and final uk entrants were off key 1 0.03
The fact that Israel came second and the UK appeared to give 12 points in the phone vote makes me believe it is fixed as their song wasn't that good in my opinion 1 0.03
No, they’re all rubbish 1 0.03
Israel should have been bann 1 0.03
Same old same old. It’s all a load of political bias 1 0.03

Rubbish with too much strobe lighting 1 0.03
It's difficult but each country's song should be judged on merit rather than the political situation 1 0.03
Seems fixed 1 0.03
Shouldn't have as much news coverage as it does 1 0.03
About time the UK pulled out and left 'Europe' to it. Political voting as usual. The public vote is not transparent enough to see what has gone on 1 0.03

What a load of rubbish ! 1 0.03

Been watching since I was very young I’m now in my mid 50’s and this was the worst year yet for Eurovision if I’d never watched before I would not watch again 1 0.03
It needs to be stopped. It has become too political and is the most boring programme on tv 1 0.03
It should be about the song and nothing else. No politics, no lgbt promotion, etc. 1 0.03
Countries always vote for neighbouring countries....including jury votes so its an unfair competition. 1 0.03

A waste of time and money. 1 0.03
The UK should not be in it anymore 1 0.03
Nt it's best year 1 0.03
Every year it is won by the most awful song sung by someone completely different to the average person. Except the year Ukraine won. Otherwise it seems it’s just the more outrageous wins 1 0.03

I dislike splitting the votes from judges and public. Public votes seemed to make no sense and didn't correlate with what had been popular. Israel shouldn't even be allowed to compete. 1 0.03
I don't think Israel should be allowed to compete - it's tacit support for genocide. 1 0.03

Most of it wasn't that good 1 0.03
Why is Israel allowed to compete if Russia isn’t? There is a precedent for them not being included espy when Eurovision was started to promote peace. Switzerland hosted it well - I liked the focus on music and past Eurovision songs. 1 0.03

It’s too political. 1 0.03
The true audience reaction to Israel's entry should have been broadcast, and not replaced with false cheering. That is compounded by Graham Norton not being permitted to describe the actual reception, and then him being criticised for daring to suggest that it was not met with universal delight. 1 0.03
Israel should not have advertised for votes in the US. Other countries can’t pay for things like that. 1 0.03
Not sure why I bother watching it 1 0.03
No real standout sing this year, but Austria was one of the better ones. When are the UK ever going to take it seriously and finally pick a song that's worthy of winning? 1 0.03
I think the United Kingdom should stop participating in the eurovision song contest as it is clearly political and not about the singing. 1 0.03

It was really diverse yet entertaining this year. I was surprised when I heard Austria's entry, it was quite different, so that improbably what stuck out having a boy soprano giving an operatic performance. He wasn't the best singer in the final, he was different. 1 0.03

Fuck Israel. Absolutely fuck them. Disgraceful that they're still even allowed in the competition after committing a highly documented Genocide. I made a large donation to Palestinian medical aid before the event and am APPALLED at the votes for Israel 1 0.03

Israel is not Europe- should not compete! 1 0.03
It was disappointing 1 0.03
It feels as though Israel’s position as not being in conflict with another Eurovision country is assisting the opportunity for Jewish diaspora to (ab)use the voting system to exploit a loophole to get 10/12 points for their song, irrespective of whether it’s a good song or performance. 1 0.03
It's a joke 1 0.03
well presented 1 0.03
Pointless entering based on current scoring system 1 0.03

Too much drum and base; too many young people and as usual older people are ignored. The UK should have a good quality entry and stop expecting to win with trash. This years was like watching three 5 year olds singing as there was just something very childish about it. As usual our entry was just boring and ordinary. Eurovision should be fun and most countries forget that. I do not take sides with Israel and Palestine as wrongs on both sides, but wonder why Israel is still permitted to enter when their country has committed war crimes - the song was very boring anyway. I wish they would have a presenter that would stick to presenting and not 3 ridiculous women who think they are funny when they couldn't deliver a line to save their life. When delivering the votes the people from each country should stop talking nonsense and just give their results as it is so false and pointless. Bring back Katie Boyle I say! 1 0.03

I enjoy Eurovision and think it is an interesting contest and a good thing. Britain’s representatives were good singers, but I didn’t particularly like the staging, presentation or song itself. 0 points is harsh but if a song isn’t someone’s favourite, it won’t get voted for. I wouldn’t have voted for it even we could. 1 0.03

This year's Eurovision was very clearly corrupt, as was last years. Israel's participation should not be happening due to their constant rule breaking by means of their government funding campaigns to win. The point's they received for a lackluster song is suspicious and I wouldn't be surprised if not farms were used to call, I doubt the UK gave 12 points without input from the Israeli government. Having been an avid Eurovision watcher since I was 6 years old (28years) I won't be watching next year until the use of funding by Israel to secure favour (Moroccan Oil being a main sponsor needs to end) is investigated and ended. Eurovision is no longer fun and is just an embarrassing show of corruption. 1 0.03

Yet again the Zionist lobby used their undue influence to ensure that Israel were in the competition, and nearly won it.

Israel bought votes and encouraged people to use different countries credit cards to make more than 20 votes. It's a joke that they're allowed to perform. Over 60k dead women and children at their hand and no one can criticise them or they're called antisemitic. Disgusting. Their government is corrupt as hell and committing genocide and no one is stopping it. 1 0.03
As always it isnt about the music, it is too political 1 0.03

Political voting and not reflective of the artists performing. 1 0.03
The double voting is ridiculous, jury voting isn't necessary. Also it's a song contest so all songs sung in a language other than English should have subtitles, like Italy had. Finally, whoever picked our act really doesn't get Eurovision. It's the song, not the act that we should be voting for. It wasn't catchy at all. 1 0.03
Genuinely thought israel’s song was bad - no political statement from me 1 0.03

It's obvious that the 'people' of Europe don't like the UK as there was no reason for our song to have received nil points. We should withdraw all aid money that we as a country give to others as it clearly, by that result is not appreciated, I know it shouldn't be political, but it clearly is. I'm furious! 1 0.03
I don't enjoy anymore. Its too political and should be scrapped 1 0.03
Why are Australia in a European contest.? 1 0.03
Too many clowns trying to politicise the show. The singer from Israel had a great voice and sang in three languages. It was a good performance and a far better song than the winner, Austria. Austria’s singer was clearly fantastic at singing but the song was incredibly boring. 1 0.03

How Israel was allowed to compete when just the day before they once again bombed Gaza &any civilians were killed or injured. It is right that Russia is not allowed to compete due to its invasion and war with Ukraine. This should be the same for Israel 1 0.03
No, it’s all just for fun really. 1 0.03
Countries that are currently committing war crimes should not be able to take part 1 0.03
European diaspora makes the public vote completely pointless. I would also point out that Israel should not be included in any events outside of there own country as Russia. They fact that my country gave Israel so many points saddens me greatly, iam a white Scottish male of Irish decent and I cannot believe the treatment of the Muslim community in this country and across the world should be so sickingly obvious on a stage such as the European song contest. 1 0.03
The public vote is very strange. Even the 2nd placed country got 0 1 0.03
The issue has been pre and lost show “commentary”. Israel’s right to compete is no different than Ukraine. Both were invaded and attacked and are victims or horrific crimes perpetrated against them. The biases of commentary teams and of pundits had been shocking by virtue of their different treatment of these two competing nations. That said. The show itself 👍🏻👌🏻 1 0.03

Yet again a politically fiddled competitoon 1 0.03
I do not think that Isreal should have been allowed to enter. Whilst I have no issue with the Israeli contestant as a person, and have empathy for the horror she went through, the Israeli government is committing war crimes and crimes against humanity and therefore should not be allowed a place in the competition. 1 0.03
Clearly the public voting is completely hijacked now. It should be European countries only, both competing and also able to vote. There should be no worldwide voting allowed. I have watched it for years. We accepted that neighboring countries would vote for each other. But then that was also to do with having more similar tastes or having heard each others songs on the radio more etc. But this mass voting for Israel is just outrageous. I will not watch it again, until something major changes. 1 0.03
No way UK should have got 0 votes from audience vote when rubbish acts got votes probably due to Brexit & nations seeing Britain as no longer a European partner. But then Australia gets votes - good Russia wasn't included this year 1 0.03

I thought Israel should not have been allowed to take part, given the atrocities they are perpetrating in Gaza. It makes no sense when Russia has been excluded. The fact that they polled so high in the public vote casts serious doubts on the validity of the voting system. 1 0.03

In all honesty, the majority of the acts didn't do anything for me. I get that it is supposed to be non political, however if Russia is being excluded, which I completely agree with, it's extremely hypocritical to not exclude Israel. 1 0.03
It was pretty boring with not many stand out performances. It's a song contest not a political one so I didn't have an issue either the singer doing well. The big problem would have been if she had won. 1 0.03
