We did it again!!! Sweden 2016!! Yaaaaaay! 🙂
worst placing for a host nation ever – Austria 🙁
not really fair voting if 2 countries were not counted
Macedonia and Montenegro’s vote was counted, it was 100% televote instead of 50% televote and 50% jury vote.
Well done, Mr Guetta!
One of the worst winners ever 🙁 My favorite, Lithuania, finished 18th 🙁 But they were in the final! 😀
