Damn, beat drops.
And it was quite good. When I first heard that Ukraine was favoured to win this year I worried that they’d win off pity votes. I’m no great believer in the integrity of Eurovision voting, but I think songs *should* win on their own merits, even if that is not the reality.
Did they get pity votes? Of course they did. Would they have won without pity votes? Maybe, maybe not. Would they have placed quite highly without pity votes? I sure think so.
All in all this wasn’t my favourite entry, but I liked it. If I want my outrage fix I’ll have to look elsewhere. *Like the treatment France’s entry received.*
I mean, who else was gonna win anyway. Eurovision is largely a country popularity contest as long as the song is adequate.
I really liked their last year’s entry.
Damn that is a pretty great song.
It was ok. This year was a political win.
The beat and cinematography is great.
Would have placed top 5 solely on merit, may or may not have won with the help of pity/solidarity votes.
Whatever. Song is dope.
Isnt it kinda bad for them to win when you think about it? Like its gonna be a big extra economic strain on them next year to host it.
portugal won imo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eQul-rkcGPQ
What kind of flute is that?
Based on the hate for Ukraine getting a sympathy win I expected this song to be terrible. It’s actually really quite good. I’m not sure if it was objectively the best and I haven’t listened to the other ones, but I certainly can’t hate on it.
Disappointed their entry wasn’t that Bayraktar song.
Moldova were robbed, their song was the most energetic one in the entire show!
Song and contest and politics aside, I was not prepared for the power of this video. I had no prior knowledge of the content.
This war is incredibly sad and stupid.
Won due to sympathy voices, if it weren’t for the war they would not have gotten as many votes as they did. Obvious from the start it would go quite well for them. It’s not a terrible song but it’s not very good overall either. But to be expected of course, eurovision has become quite political.

[France’s song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EAWu-CSuBA) had no right to slap that hard
OK, so when I saw that the song from Ukraine won, as an American I thought it was largely due to sentimentality. By the way, I was fine with that. But I see after watching this video that it might’ve had some sentimentality to it, but it’s also because that song fucking SLAPS.
IMO the winner even with the war bias
My personal favorite was [subwoolfer – give that wolf a banana](https://youtu.be/FJjo8s3fKUM)
PLAY JA JA DING DONG!
Of course it did
Bunch of sour-ass negative fucking assholes in this thread.
of course its justifiable, but like the black panther this probably doesnt deserve to win all that much on its merits. that being said, fuck putin and victory to ukraine
As much im standing with Ukraine i do not think they should have won
Tbf, Ukraine could have had a fat guy in a thong playing the bagpipes and they’d still have won
