Macedonia are world masters in ruining good songs with a horrible staging and bad live vocals.
William 2018: put a moat around the stage!! Italy 2022: okay!
Lost And Found's staging was the biggest crime. They killed my favorite song. But probably wouldn't have ever done better than Fuego's improval.
My biggest crime is Estonia and Bulgaria so underrated ! The so called jury of "professionals" not ranking them on top is SHAME!

The juries didn't like AWS because of the constant screaming. They aren't excluding it just because it's heavy metal, they are giving it low points because it doesn't fit their style of music, which is more consisted of calmer music, such as ballads.

TE - Fil you are right the screaming is probably why they did not vote for it. But that just shows that they are no music experts. A real expert would apreciate that vocals because it is just another type of singing which is not easy to do. If it was only screaming then everybody could do it. Also juries should vote for song, vocals and the overall package and not for genres 🤔
I always love the different ways Deban does his hair.
The biggest crime is that a lot of the material was (and still is) blocked for a lot of countries; is the first time I could not get over Eurovision by watching the performances on KZread; we still can't, and I'm really pissed off about that fact.
My biggest crime is discovering that San Marino uses a fake televote because the have the same line of my country Italy,having to listen for the second year in a row to incompetent commentators during the semifinals (I don't know why we can't have the same ones of the GF for all the shows),SuRie's stage invasion,Greece and Belgium out,my country being robbed by the juries with such a beautiful message,France not getting at least top 10,Estonia not getting top 5,Sweden being overrated for the 4th year in a row and Filomena Cautela,that should've got a bigger role because she is amazing!

My personal biggest crime is Switzerland failing to qualify. I would have left out Lithuania to make room for the Swiss, but the semi was so strong, it's sinful that a mere 10 songs became finalists!
I think these real results are: 1. 🇨🇾 2. 🇪🇪 3.🇮🇱 4.🇺🇦 5.🇧🇬 6.🇱🇹 7.🇭🇺 8.🇨🇿 9.🇫🇷 10.🇮🇹 11.🇸🇪 12.🇩🇪 13.🇦🇹 14.🇩🇰 15.🇫🇮 16.🇸🇮 17.🇦🇱 18.🇦🇺 19.🇮🇪 20.🇷🇸 21.🇪🇸 22.🇲🇩 23.🇬🇧 24.🇵🇹 25.🇳🇴 26.🇳🇱 And they deserved the final 🇭🇷🇬🇷🇦🇿🇧🇪🇧🇾🇨🇭🇲🇹🇱🇻
Looking back on last year, what I consider the biggest crimes: (In no particular order) - SuRie's stage invader - Portugal ending in last place in the final - Switzerland not qualifying for the final - North Macedonia's performance, staging and vocal performance alike - Sweden's jury score - The first semifinal being about 5 times as strong as the second one - Ukraine getting last with the juries
My biggest crime is that people act as if Cyprus getting 2nd place is not an amazing placement. Yeah she didn't win but come on, 2nd place is an incredible achievement. Netta deserved to win, and Eleni getting 2nd place is very well deserved. End of discussion.

Sweden got low public vote because of the singer's personality and performance. He got high jury votes because the song itself is very commercial, its something you could expect to hear on a top 40 pop station anywhere in the world. Basicly - the public rebuked him as an artist and the jury rewarded the song itself as being commercially viable. ,

PennyWise Lauderhill I knew nothing about his personality but didn’t vote anyway. The song is commercial and the staging is stylish, but all of it was generic and not passionate. And his movements were too silly😂
I actually think it's a problem for the show in general, that for people who see the performance for the first time doesn't get some songs content and intentions, for example, Azerbaijan about her dead husband and Hungary about the front singers dead father. In Sweden the commentators just said about Hungary: it's about death and they are screaming... and about Ukraine only focusing about Mélovins make up made him look like a vampire... I think it would be nice if the "postcards" could include both something about the host country and the performer, even if the commentators babbling something fun about it, you will still get the chance to come closer to the artist.

Louise Eriksson absolutely in Germany our commentator told us in the semi that hungarys song is about pain and death but not that its about his father which i dont understand because our entry had the same topic. In the final he did not say that and just mentioned that they are going to wacken open air 😁 I think they should talk more about the meaning especially if the song is not in english 🤔
I'm still angry about Switzerland not qualifying :(
Yes putting Portugal last was a crime
Why no one talks about AWS? 😤 Our boys deserved better🤘
Translation for MELOVINATORS --ПЕРЕВОД ДЛЯ МЕЛОВИНАТОРОВ: Переходим к преступлению номер 9 Дебан: Что находится под твоей лестницей, Уильям Ли Адамс? Уильям: Под моей лестницей много всего. Магический огненный вампир с великолепным голосом и прекрасной мелодией. Дебан: Но жюри не оценили его. Уильям: Да! Что, черт возьми, это вообще было?! Серьезно?! Евровидение - это о креативности, так ведь? Итак, Украина, с одним из самых креативных выступлений в этом году, с музыкальностью, сценографией - оказалась последней?! Дебан: Это выносит мне мозг... Уильям: жюри поставили их в конец?! Дебан: выносит мне мозг! Уильям: ты же говорил с ним недавно в Киеве.. Дебан: да, можно я коротко расскажу о том концерте в Киеве. Я никогда не видел так много людей, стремящихся попасть в здание. Этот парень такой шоумен! Это все не сильно ранило его (ситуация с жюри). Как он сказал, я - принадлежу народу, людям, которые хотят купить мои диски. Жюри делают свою работу и я их уважаю, но в конечном итоге они ни на что не влияют.(с) Уильям: да, я думаю, часто жюри совершенно 'не въезжают', мы зовем их музыкальными профи, но эти профессионалы так пекутся о своих карьерах, что не могут голосовать сердцем, они вынуждены голосовать разумом, думая о том, как их голосование все потом оценят. Это, честно говоря, не такая уж справедливая система, есть недостатки и в телевоуте и в голосовании жюри, но я всегда говорил, что влияние жюри должно быть меньшим. Дебан: и от этого вдвойне удивительно, что жюри хорошо проголосовало за нашего любимицу - представительницу Австралии.....
How was Malta not mentioned? It was literally the biggest crime imo

SWITZERLAND SHOULDVE QUALIFIED TOP 5
I have only two words to say: Saara Aalto 😭😭😭😭😭 My personal winner of 2018! 💜💜💜
I've waited SO long for this... finally it's there ♡♡
Semi Final 1 was the absolute crime. When I saw which countries were in that semi final, I immediately called it a nightmare because majority of the songs were great
The worst crime was Belarus not qualifying tbh
My biggest crime is Norway not coming DEAD last in the semi
6:22 That became true
Been waiting for this so long!! Finally! Great crimes! Agree with you fully!
I love the idea of this episode thank you again!
I am here 3 years late but I need to say this. I am a big fan of Benjamin (Sweden) and listen to his songs after the contest but the jury overrated him a lot while the televotes underrate him. In my opinion, realistically, he would finish around 10-15 position considering the songs that finished around that spot.
If it was 4 men hosting no one would bat an eyelash. There were 3 white male hosts in Kyev in 2017 (and no female hosts) yet Deban didn't have a problem with their "diversity". But when it's 4 women - which is historical, never before did we have a female only cast, it's all of a sudden an issue of "diversity". Deban, just say you're misogynistic and go.
Regarding Sweden. I think it's a big plus for the team and Benjamin that his performace looked as if it was filmed for some people. But it was a real time performance. What to say more. Great job!!! He was one of my favorites in ESC 2018.
Georgia finishing last in semi two was an outrage.
Love these videos! My biggest crime of 2018 is Armenia How Qami didn't qualify will always be a mystery to me
The biggest Eurovision Crimes were: Ukraine (Last by the Jury? 17 place? Wtf) He should have entered the Top 10 at least !! Voice, music and performance, All Perfect !!! Italy (17 place with The Jury, Seriously?) A song with such a beautiful message and sung with such mastery! Thank God there was the Televote to be fair to them! Switzerland (They not qualifying for the final was so unfair) The power of ZIBBZ's performance and their music will forever be remembered !! Bulgaria in 14 place was Super unfair too!! They deserved so much better with that Amazing song and voices!! But perhaps the biggest crime is that Songs like Sweden and Australia end up so high in the Ranking thanks to the Jury, over quality songs and creative songs, which is what Eurovision seeks is not it? I like the songs, but they are much generic! Israel brought something almost unheard of and super exciting, so it won !! Ukraine, Italy, Bulgaria, France, Switzerland, Greece, Malta, Hungary, Denmark!! This is new!! This is Eurovision!!
Melowin was really a great crime of the Juries!

Dear Wiwi, I hear you guys a lot about Italy almost being overrated by a enthousiasm for the language. However I voted Italy this year because it had a very strong message that I guess a lot of people fellt or heard about from commentators. I did not plan to vote for it but on the night it touched me! Perhaps more people felt this way... Thats what I think ;) BTW your videos are amazing. ESC would not be the same without you! Kisses from The Netherlands!

The moment when salvador handed the trophy over, that was awkward to watch 😂
This is the first time I comment on the subject, despite having followed the drama from the beginning. When Salvador, last year, spoke about all the stuff about fast-food music, the first thing that comes to my mind it is not the genre of the music, but rather the process of making a song. Then I remember a documentary that I saw that was speaking about a music program that create "songs". If I remember correctly it said that for each 30 "songs" created, only one was enjoyable (sorry i don't remember the title of that documentary). That is what I call fast-food music, when most part of the process of making music, cames from a machine and not from human criativity. So basically, when I heard people said that Netta's song was a fast-food music, i do not agree. Just because a song is kinda pop/techno with a accelerated rhythm, that doesn't mean that it hasn't a soul, as long it is created with passion. And let me say it, I didn't like Netta's song. I liked it for a couple of hours and then I got tired of it. But I would never call it a fast-food song considering that Netta is a great artist and the amount of criativity that she has. Btw, i like Salvador's work, despite his personality ahah, and i apreciate that kind of music better (sorry, it is my taste), but i never agreed with his speach on the final, if he meant in that way, of course. Music, the same way human beings, comes in diferents ways. And for each way there will be at least one person who will love that type of music, and for me it is enough :) bye p.s. i cannot wait for 2019 yay!!!

Actually Sweden was fast food music and Australia was just a horror show as far as I am concerned. Had it been down to me to decide I wouldn't have any of them in the final. But I totally agree that Finland, Ukraine and Italy were robbed ( Italy and Ukraine by juries and Finland by... practically everyone)!
the really crime was the saging of Spain, alfred and amaia were great and the song is amazing.... so...
As a portuguese and because here we see more intervews with Salvador, I can say that he is a very genuine person and he doesen't say the right thing, he say what he thinks about it. He was just making their point about Neta's song and I think that if more persons was genuine like him we make a better place because we would not have to pretend to have an opinion that was not our true opinion only to our point appear correct for society. That's just my opinion... Thanks.
Will you make a 2018 recap?
Love you 2 ❤️❤️
The biggest crime for me was that I couldn't vote in Semi 2 because of technical problems in Italy. Speaking in general, how about juries underrating Georgia so much?? Their song was great and particular, and well performed. I'm still upset about that last place! And about Italy, I don't think our current political situation would impact much on a possible Eurovision hosting (or at least I hope so)
Biggest crime was when the host mistakenly said in the end of the public vote that Cyprus is in the lead.
I agree with the number two crime. They will need to triple their security for future competitions by tasing a stage invader before they even get on the stage and to be automatically sentenced to six months in local jail.

Organisation-wise, the biggest crime was the EuroVillage on Grand Final night - we queued for 4 hours both to get in and to get a drink in the scorching sun, it was horrific!

Biggest crimes for me in no order: 1. The first semi final being so much stronger than the second and causing many more deserving acts to not qualify while bad acts from the second semi made it. 2. The juries snubbing Ukraine 3. Surie’s stage invasion 4. The horrible staging and styling for FYROM and Belgium causing two amazing songs to not qualify 5. China’s homophobic censorship 6. The whole Russian act. I went from hating Yulia to feeling bad for her, you can tell her team didn’t support her properly Also, I think it’s overdramatic to criticize the hosts for lack of diversity. It’s literally just four people, diversity is important but you don’t know who was available or eligible to host

The trouble is, the semi-final allocation draw always takes place late January . At that time, the majority of the countries have yet to pick / publicly announce their entries. It just so happens that the countries which were drawn into the first semi-final ended up choosing songs which were stronger than the countries which were in the second semi-final.
I thought Jon Ola Sand discussed #9 in a video. Every country would receive some amount of votes. It isn't the strict 12, 10, 8-1 points system for the judges/televote. Every country would receive at least 1 point. It would just be weighted differently than in previous years.
wiwibloggs where is the eurovision 21 recap

Loved Daniela!! Filomena was also amazing!! The other two did well! All four did well!
True, many people couldn't vote here in Italy (me included) however Romania still got our 1st place in the televote, thank god since I love the song! :D
Why did you didn't publicate this video before?
France and Bulgaria had to be in the top 10!
Tele votes didn’t reflect the iTunes Charts
