I´ve been listening to Düm Tek Tek for weeks and weeks, never mind if it wins or not (I hope it will I shall vote!), it still will make Türkiye proud I´m sure
I shall be having my own Eurovision party in my house, by that I mean I will sit watching it with a plate of cheese and a constant supply of coffee, whooping and cheering
Go Hadise! You can do it!
Anybody else think our UK entry is really bland?

The secret motive behind Eurovision song contest is to find the degree of prevailing friendship between various countries, on that day. It is only a damn national popularity poll.
The song itself or the quality of music/singer makes no difference at all.....

Ahhh but they have changed the voting system to try and stop this! Part panel vote and part viewer vote............ but I bet it wont make too much of a difference........ and now Terry Wogan is not commentating on it (UK), it will be even more boring

I´m glad Türkiye did so well but I thought Hadise would win! She was beautiful and gave an excellent performance I loved hearing the Turkish people in the crowd in Moscow chant ´TÜRKÃYE!" But I still can´t believe Norway won

The Norwegian song was great and a really great performance. A bit different from all the others.. girls singing pop

Yes, it´s a pity that Turkey didn´t claimed at least 3rd place - but anyway, 4th place is really good I think .
And by the way - can someone translate the title "Düm tek tek" ? I know that "tek tek" means "one by one", but I can´t find a meaning of "düm". Is this kind of idiom or something else ?
(oh, no matter - I´ve just found it on Wikipedia quoting:
"Düm Tek Tek" is onomatopoeic for the sound generated by a drum; with "boom bang bang" being an English equivalent.)

This year it was far more entertaining in terms of good songs and the new voting system seems to work with far less neighbourly voting But hey Turkey, we gave you douze point so where was our douze point?? Norway fielded a complete weed - Sakis Rouvas was the man for me............ blow the song the white trousers and ripped shirt did it for me

From a purely musical point of view, the UK and France performances were a class apart. Nevertheless, they are not the kinds of songs you would want to hear at Eurovision. The German entry was quite disgusting. I didn´t understand what was so special about the Norwegian entry. It was a pretty ordinary song reminiscient of the 70´s tunes. I liked Portugal. At least I now know what their folk music is like.
As most have already said, this year, most songs were at least listenable. It is also worth mentioning the lack of stupidity in the shows, no monsters, no zombies etc.

I liked Moldova and Estonia. Don´t remember other participants. I do regret, however, that Eurovision no longer has the sing-in-your-mother-tongue policy. Most songs brought back Modern Talking disco aera that I hate, kitchy kitchy yah yah yah yeah
