Good on Latvia for proving everyone wrong and almost qualifying instead of coming near last like odds suggested, people actually heard the song and recognised the quality instead of just tossing it off! Hopefully this close qualification doesn’t turn Sudden Lights off from continuing their career, they’ve got a huge amount of support (that 8 points from “rest of the world” says a lot about their reach). Also hoping Latvia qualifies one day again!

I think the odds are a fun metric but I think people tend to misinterpret and overvalue them a lot. First of all, the odds are for "who wins" or "who gets top 3" or "who gets qualified", which means that rankings are not showing a predicted final result, thus rendering 90% of this video a fun excuse for listening to all the songs again but there's not much more to it. But more importantly, people think that the odds are some kind of scientific prediction of Europe's opinion - no. The bookies adjust the odds solely to balance supply and demand for individual bets so that they make a profit regardless of the result. If a lot of people are betting on an entry to win, their odds will go up, i.e. the expected win for being right goes down. If there's too little people betting on an entry to win, the bookies increase the price for taking the risk, which means that the entry falls a few places in the odds ranking. This means that the odds are basically just the predicitions of British Eurovision fans who have enough money to bet.

Spain and France absolutely robbed, Portugal underrated

I'm happy that it ended like this and not as the people thought of. My favorite songs of the edition still didn't get the first positions, but in my opinion this is just the rightest order that i could get.

2023 was such a strong year! There were so many great songs.

My personal opinion about the final performances: 1. Austria - I adore this song and vote for it, but the live version still lacks something. Energy level also could be higher and Poe Poe part louder (maybe bad TV translation). 2. Portugal - it was a stronger performance than in Semi. Everything depended on personal taste, but Mimicat created winner vibes! 3. Switzerland - nothing special, catchy rhythm and easy meaningful lyrics. Wanted more vocal variety, because he is capable. 4.Poland - great visual performance and catchy song. She made the best she could do, still the vocal is weak. Song created for masses, expected a good televote result. 5. Serbia -good visual performance, but... in semi I heard him better, in the final was hard to understand the words. Maybe sound translation problem, but you can't vote for a song which you don't hear. 6. France - all the song I was asking what happened to La Zarra? It was good, but not so good vocally as I expected. She somehow sounded not enough powerful. And TV camera angles for visual part was also not perfect. 7. Cyprus - well done, but would be better to go not so safe - Andrew is good singer, too much himself backs are not needed. Still solid performance, just nothing new. 8. Spain - I expected more from visual part - more meanings and longer focus on Spanish culture accents, now looked as a little mess. Shouting and screaming was never popular between masses, still she is a great vocalist. Somehow got a feel, that it flop, actually liked her pre-parties performances more. 9.Sweden - in Semi and in her winning performance she sounded more sincere and better. In final one was too strict and not enough emotionally. Still one of the best entries of the night with winner vibes. Strange choice to put Sweden after Spain, I think it hurt Spain. 10. Albania - performance was good, the song itself not for everyone. Family label won some additional votes for sure. 11. Italy - I unexpected felt the 3rd time winner vibes and even vote for it, didn't plan that! Simplicity and extraordinary Marco work with camera angles won me over:) And vocally it was such emotional and impactful performance! Better performance then Sweden; Sweden song itself is more memorable. 12. Estonia sounded good, and Alika finally found her emotions:) It was a great performance, liked more than in Semi. 13. Finland - great energy, originality, charisma. Much better than in Semi, were the 2nd part sounded not well at all. He nailed it on time! 14. Czech Republic - one more great performance with catchy rhythm. So much improvement from pre-parties! 15. Australia - they were great, I planned to vote for Germany, but gave all the votes to Australia! Love the energy:) 16. Belgium - liked his semi performance more, but still it was impactful and the backs fantastic! 17. Armenia - sounded good, looked good, performed good. Got sacked down a little by Belgium and Moldova energies. 18. Moldova - sounded better than in semi, i heard the words this time, still some parts was not enough clear. Could have more energy still and some parts were too repetitive. 19. Ukraine - great visual performance, but the vocals wasn't the best - i heard them performing this song better. 20. Norway - better than in Semi, she managed to perform the best version. Very catchy song. 21. Germany - felt disappointed. Sounded not always as I expected, visual performance was too simple and lack some kind of energy...There was not the best performance as it could be. 22. Lithuania - liked her Semi performance more. She sounded not so sincere as always, too technical. Liked ethno visuals, wanted to see more. 23. Israel - great performance, but for me - I still want more meaningful lyrics. One of the best entries together with Sweden, Finland, Italy, Portugal, Australia of the night. 24. Slovenia- simple but catchy, energetic show. Got a little blanded by Israel and felt that they need to do something more crazy... 25. Croatia - not my cup, but they sounded better than in Semi. 26. United Kingdom - expected worse. The song is catchy, lyrics meaningful, visual performance was great, and she sounded not bad - huge improvement as Blanca, but for this song, we need stronger and more impactful vocal performance, to be on Blanca level is not enough, or you need to sing an easier song as Blanca.

Latvia is obviously 27th, of course 2nd semi got more points.

Spain was a skydive crash even though the oerformance was perfect 😢

Betting shouldn't be allowed in the first place, since it highly affects the results in of itself.

I'm sorry to say but this is extremely flawed. The betting odds rankings are only chances of winning, not the actual end position. So you could have a sing that is very low in the betting odds to win, but achieves a much higher result in the end.

Jowst in the end 🔥

You do realize that the televoters are much worse when it comes to block voting and diaspora voting than the juries are, right? It's just less obvious since the televoting points are given out in giant blocks instead of on a per-country basis. Iceland, Finland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark all had Finland, Sweden and Norway in their top 3s (except Sweden, Norway and Finland when it came to themselves) in the televote, except Finland, who conspicuously gave Norway 12 points and Sweden 0 points. Meanwhile, the Icelandic jury gave Finland 10 points, Sweden 7 points and Norway 4 points. The Greek televoters gave Cyprus 12 points but the Greek jury only gave him 4 points. And so on and so on. According to the televoters, Poland was the 3rd best song of the 2nd semi-final and the 8th best song in the grand final. POLAND. Almost every single country in the contest's televoters gave their 12, 10 and 8 points to a country that is a close neighbour or a country with a heavy diaspora population in the local country. Meanwhile, the juries were throwing 12 pointers at Sweden, Italy and Israel from all across Europe, Asia and Australia. There's a reason why when Russia was actually allowed to compete, they were almost always top 10, often top 5, followed by Ukraine whereas the juries were often a bit cool towards their entries. Look into how the televoters vote before speaking on the subject of block voting. The televoters are much worse than the juries, by several magnitudes.

Block voting is just as bad in the televote. Removing the televote won't do shit. Seems like being impartial is not the only effect of liivng in North America, since you're clearly also clueless. Sweden's song was simply the best song out there. The odds are rarely, if ever, this united on one candidate. The only songs that I can remember having over 40% odds to win Eurovision were Stefania and Arcade, it's usually around 3-4 countries that all have around 20% odds of winning. The only reason Sweden had such high odds this year was cause it was a really weak year for Eurovision. That's also why songs that wouldn't have done so well in other years, such as Bridges and Because of you were able to place so high. The only true contenders were Finland and Sweden. Now, the voting is super easily explained, without even considering block voting. Tattoo was an objectively good song, sung by one of the best performers in Eurovision history. To say it shouldn't have even been top 10 is ludicrous, especially since it finished 2nd in televoting. Now, the jury always tends to vote for a more traditionally good song, instead of the more eccentric performances. Since this was a rather weak year, Tattoo was obviously gonna be the heavy favorite among the jury, especially since Loreen is such a good vocalist, which is reflected by the odds. What wasn't expected was the mass televote in favor of Käärijä. I knew, having looked on social media, that Cha Cha Cha was gonna get a lot of televotes. It's pretty obvious, however, that the more traditional jury would overlook a song like that, since it's obviously not as good of a song as Tattoo, relying more on an eyecatching performance and a very likeable performer. This works wonders in televote, who usually don't care as much for the quality of the song if it's entertaining. So TL;DR, the factors contributing to the rift between the jury and televote were a particularly weak year, singling out two heavy favorites and a huge contrast between the two songs, meaning one would predictably win the jury vote, while the other wins the televote. There wasn't any conspiracy to win money for bookies, it wasn't the fault of block voting, since the jury actually deviated quite a bit from regular block votes this year, it's unlikely that we'll see these factors combine again.
