The politics are inevitable, although I feel there was little political voting amongst the professional judges this year, the points they gave Ukraine were proportional to the performance.
I suspect part of the reason the UK’s camp performance scored so high was due to the obscene number of lacklustre and instantly forgettable ballards clogging up the show. It makes me hope they will put a cap on the number of soporific slow songs allowed in future contests. Moldova certainly benefited from their placement after that snooze-fest in the middle, the audience were relived to hear a singer who actually gave it some energy.
The vote determines which country will host the following year. There have been controversies in the past where countries were accused of deliberately performing badly because they didn’t want the expense of hosting. I assume next year’s contest will be held in the UK rather than Ukraine for obvious reasons.
IIN people actually take eurovision seriously?

Who knows? If this russian war ends soon (given that it seems that putin has cancer)
Ukraine might be a fine place to hold it.
