I don't mind who wins as long as they're a devil worshipper, how did Ireland get on anyway? 

Ireland / Bambi Thug .. #crownthewitch came in 6th, so a top ten finish, progress perhaps. The last time Ireland did that was about 20 years ago. Last time we got to final was 2018.

The top 5 were 

- Switzerland
- Croatia
- Ukraine
- France
- Israel

Ireland 6th, piped to post by Israel getting a decent public vote

The voting in EV is in 2 parts - The 37 National juries all give votes from 1 pt to 12 pts to preferred artists. Then the 2nd part after national jury finished is points given to each artist by the PUBLIC ( participating countries citizens ) Vote ( which includes a subset of a world vote ). So an artist could be well ahead with the jury vote but all could change when the public vote is added. 

Ireland was 9th pre the public vote, post public vote went to 5th but then Israel got a big public vote ( 300+ I think ) and jumped into 5th place pushing Ireland to 6th.

The Israel track was very good I think. Female singer.

For those interested, Bambie did an "Intimate" version of the DOOMSDAY BLUE Track. In this you can hear Bambies voice & that Bambie has a good voice and can sing

The most bizaare entry was FINLAND - Windows95man .. track called No Rules. Touches of Weird Al Yankovic perhaps

My vote goes to whoever is cutest.

I had to opt out of that metric for fear of the return of Goat Boy.
