Junior Eurovision 2019 saw 19 countries take to the stage in Gliwice Poland. France’s Carla took us inside a comic book. Spain’s Melani Garcia brought nautical realness. And Serbia’s Darija Vračević warned us what could happen if we don’t raise our voices against climate change.
Unfortunately, and despite all the immense talent on display, only one act could win. This year’s honour goes to Viki Gabor from Poland with her song “Superhero”.
Junior Eurovision 2019 Winner — Poland’s Viki Gabor with “Superhero”
Seven point one million. That’s the number of YouTube views Viki had amassed for “Superhero” across her national final performance, the studio cut and the official music video. Going off those figures alone, it was safe to say that Poland was never likely to fall victim to the notorious host nation curse.
“Superhero” is a contemporary dance-pop number which calls upon young people to fight to protect the environment… a battle that’s much more pressing than any tiffs the Avengers might have with Thanos. Melting ice caps and a giant countdown made sure the message wasn’t lost on anyone. Some sign language enhanced the universality of the entry’s themes.
Poland becomes the first country to win Junior Eurovision on back-to-back occasions.

Junior Eurovision 2019 Voting Method
Keeping with the voting mechanism from the 2017 and 2018 contests, JESC 2019 officials opened the voting a few days before the show began. On Friday, after all countries had completed their second rehearsals, fans all over the world were invited to cast their votes. After sitting through a short recap of all the performances, fans were able to vote for either 3, 4 or 5 entries of their choice. If they needed more convincing, longer snippets of each participants stage-show were available.
The first wave of voting lasted up until the live show began, during which fans could vote once per device for their favourite acts. As soon as all countries had had their performance, the voting was open for a second round for 15 minutes, giving fans another opportunity to voice their opinion on the contest.
All of the results were announced during the show with the jury results revealed first followed by the online votes.
However, with Poland’s seeming dominance of the online vote, will it need to be revised for 2020?
What do you think of the results? Were you surprised by the jury or the televote? Let us know down below.

You know Scotland might participate. Plus if the voting system does not change, Armenia is highly unlikely to participate next year.
if EBU will have online voting in ESC , Poland will have a lot of wins to. If i was polish i would hate the online sistem in JESC. How fun is it to win 4-5 times in a row when you know the biggest audience who votes and watching is polish ? 7 million people. I would think that was unfair if i was polish but i guess polish dont think like i do.
“i guess polish dont think like i do.”
You guess wrong.
Kazachstan was amazing. I was impressed by the wonderful voice of this boy! Viki is nice girl, but her voice needs improvement. Viki’s song is a pleasure to the ear. Congratulations on winning.
I thought the best song wins. She sang and performed great. Congrats Poland!
I think France ?? or Australia ?? deserved to win personally
Why can’t they just use the same voting system as in the adults contest? We will never know how this would’ve ended if so…
To encourage younger viewers to vote without having to spend a penny on texting or calling. That gives them an incentive to invest on a show that only comes once a year.
Yes but making it allowed to vote for your own country invalidates the original idea.
And that’s where voting for other countries other than yours at a minimum come in.
They thought the vote counts were too low to have a meaningful ranking.
if they have online voting in ESC i would literally die.
Memo for next year. Let’s not give children an envelope to open when they announce the jury 12 points….
I wonder how many of those Spanish guys complaining about Poland winning have voted for Spain themselves. If they have, isn’t it hypocrisy?
I was complaining about the Polish victory because I wanted a Spanish one, but now it’s over I accepted it because Viki’s was good on stage … And I’m French. So your comment is not relevant.
I think Wales,Albania, Ireland, Serbia ,Portugal will quit. We all know if you have less people you CANT wint JESC with this online rule. Of all of them Serbia was 10th. The rest in the bottom. That proves my point.
Wales, Albania and Portugal having bad songs doesn’t prove your point.
Ahem. Did you just call Albania’s song bad?? I’m offended.
Here my thoughts on this Junior Eurovision: – The best JESC stage ever and one of the best in all Eurovision editions. It was amazing! – Awful hosts, specially the man. Roksana could’ve done it all alone better. The English they spoke was very difficult to understand, is the way all Polish people speak English? – Bad graphics, the scoreboard with the comets looked very amateur. – Bad postcards. There is only one city in Poland? They wasted the chance to show Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk… I wanted to see more of that beautiful country at the first time they host… Read more »
It’s funny how Spain complains about being third, while usually ending close to dead last on Eurovision events. You guys really believed Melani is gonna win this. That’s never a good thing to be as desperate.
Viewing figures are starting to come out for yesterday’s JESC: Poland – 5.5 million average, 7.7 million at peak, 39.4% of share – broadcast on TVP 1, TVP ABC and TVP Polonia Netherlands – 252k on total (+26k compared to last year), 9.1% of share – broadcast on NPO Zapp Italy – 42k on average (+~8k compared to last year), 90k at peak, 52k during Marta Viola’s performance, 302k unique viewers, 0.25% of share – broadcast on Rai Gulp So, yeah, I doubt any other broadcaster is gonna beat Poland this year in terms of audience. Not saying it’s a… Read more »
I’m from Poland and I do agree that allowing to vote for your own country is extremely stupid idea. They will probably fix it next year. Please keep in mind that JESC isn’t that popular in Poland normally, none TV show is these days, as fewer and fewer people watch TV. That massive audience comes from the fact that we hosted JESC and it was widely advertised over here in Poland.
France – 979k total viewers (-37k compared to last year), 7.6% of share (in 2018, it was 8.2%) – broadcast on France 2
Portugal – 350k total viewers (+73k compared to last year), 9.5% of share, ninth most watched show of the day – broadcast on RTP1
Spain – 1.488 million viewers, 11.1% of share – broadcast on La 1
i said it all along and polish people was really mad at me on youtube and called me bad names. Online voting have to go now when this is out. If the online voting is staying. Poland 3 wins.
This is a fun story: One polish guy i talked to said this: In Poland we dont really care about what the artist have for song. We always vote for Poland and support our country. haha do someone still want online voting 2020 after that haha? NOOO!
Yeah, you know entire nation after talking to one person, don’t you?
No but 7 million poles was watching so if a lot like him does this every year then Poland have 3 wins soon. Im really sad for Wales and Malta who are the smallest:( They dont have millions of people like Poland so they cant do this 🙁
I feel you, but it’s not Poland’s fault that it has millions of citizens. In Poland we like international competitions. Let’s be real – most countries vote massively for themselves. You vote for your own language and people you recognize – that’s natural and that’s why I agree that voting for your own country shouldn’t be allowed. But please don’t be harsh on Poland. I also feel that Poland deserved it – it was imho the best song this year, but not the best performance. To me, either Poland, Kazakhstan, Spain, France or North Macedonia could have won and I’d… Read more »
the voting for yourself rule is really killing JESC slowly….
Dear Rasmus. I have got one advise for you. Stop watching JESC. You will be less hatefull. Peace!
So Poland can win even more? no i have to vote:)
Let another country win from 2020 onward 😉
Hmmm first you say that Poland wins only because of the majority of polish votes and you are sure that your one vote can change everything. Interesting…
OMG, not only onlive votes are counted but jury votes as well. So number of citizens is not the only factor to win the contest.
So how can Wales and Malta win the online voting with the least population? thats really impossible when Poland only votes for themselfes and have 7 million viewers.
Only more than 3.7 million votes were cast, spread out from across Europe and beyond.
Rasmus tell me one thing. You get pissed off whenever anyone who’s not from Sweden talk about Melodifestivalen, because it’s swedish contest and only people from Sweden are allowed to comment, critique it, etc. But you have no problem in talking what people should and can’t do in contest that Sweden isn’t even part of. Heck you even think you are the one who should decide whether it should take place or not. Do both of as a favour and google what term “hipocrysy” means. Maybe that’s a problem. Let me tell you something. Poland isn’t some magical land where… Read more »
haha. people are saying Sweden will flop 2020 EVEN before they heard any songs. Thats why i have to comment that. isnt that stupid you think?
And yes i asked him on youtube beacuse i was curious about how the polish people think when they vote. He told me that they dont care about the song that much, They only want Poland to win. So a 3rd win will come 2020 with 7 million polish viewers again. trust me.
rasmus, stop crying….
Remember: Apples and oranges.
Google would probably say “did you mean hypocrisy” 😀
I’m polish and I voted for The Netherlands, Armenia, France, North Macedonia and Wales. I never voted for Poland.
Superhero is the best song JESC
BRAWO POLAND BRAWO VIKI GABOR
I am not Spanish but I must say that Marte was an epic entry. It should have definitely been the winner. The Polish entry is well produced but overhyped and forgettable, although I knew from the very beginning it was going to be the winner. No matter how awesome the other entries are: the Polish audience will always have the last word.
OMFG! POLAND WAS 2ND IN JURIES VOTING. SPAIN WAS 3RD.
Kraków 2020, Gda?sk 2021, Katowice 2022, Warszawa 2023, Lublin 2024, Pozna? 2025, Byalistok 2026, Bydgoszcz 2027, Gdynia 2028, ?ód? 2029, Szczecin 2030, Gliwice Silesia 2031, and so on…
i hope EBU end the contest this year.
Not for good, but they should make a one or two-year pause, the same as some countries do after a series of embarrassments at ESC/JESC. (Of course, that would be equal to admitting the embarrassment so it won’t happen.)
No! #LongLiveJuniorEurovisionSongContest
C’mon, everyone can vote in Junior Eurovision. I’m not sure but people around the world are allowed to vote. It not only online voting that account but jury as well! To win you must be good at the jury and online votes.
not Byalistok, but Bialystok….
Congratulations Poland ! You deserve to win <3
So “Come Together” cuz together “We Are One”
Nice to see that she also using Eurovision Slogans in her Song!
There’s an interesting article from a Spanish TV reviewer about what TVE could learn from Melani’s third place for the senior Eurovision. I’ll leave you some quotes from it: – “Melani García hasn’t just shone at Junior Eurovision finishing third with ‘Marte’, she has also taught a lesson to [Spain’s] latest candidacies for the senior Eurovision: coherence.” – “Melani wasn’t disguised as something she was not, as did happen, to varying extents, to Miki, Alfred and Amaia or Manel Navarro. With ‘Marte’, they designed a solid entry, with an impeccable wrapping, focusing the staging, lighting and realization in the child’s… Read more »
This reviewer pointed out the problems with Miki’s staging after the Tel Aviv rehearsals and got some heat for it.
It would not be surprising if Spanish HoD Ana María Bordás hires Melani’s stage director for Blas Cantó in May.
That’s a very good article. Connecting with the camera is more important than people usually think it is. It can be the difference between being absorbed by a performance or losing interest, especially now that we live in a short attention-span world. Miki had the potential to do what Melani did, because he’s extremely likeable, but they gave so much for him to do on the stage, that it was hard to connect with him.
Spain was my winner 100% in Junior and i agree with this. Exited for Spain in ESC 2020 now:)
I feel like you just want Poland to do terrible or withdraw from ESC/JESC when I see what you write here:
-Poland does well on JESC – “only because they vote for themself and no jury votes doesn’t matter”
-Poland does bad on JESC – “whatever”
-Poland manages to get to final in ESC – “hurr durr DIASPORA hurr durr”
-Poland stays in semi final on ESC – “whatever”
I can already imagine amount of hate we would get if we ever won ESC. I’ve never realised how toxic this community is.
haha. Poland have the biggest audience that votes and watches. Poland will win next year to. Poland is the reason EBU will end JESC. Small countries are doomed. Poland cant vote for Poland in ESC. THANK GOD FOR THAT!
Thanks for prime example of what I was talking about. You never disappoint when it comes to trash talk about Poland.
You know you will win next year to. 7 million poles have done it 2 times. They will do it 3. I just dont get why you dont get that.
Other countries can vote for themselves too. Moreover, Viki’s song was the best of all, greetings from Germany
How can Wales and Malta do that? They arent 7 million people.
Please understand that to win judge votes were important as well and Poland had second place after that voting . It’s not like they won just because of online voting, so relax.
But talk sh*t about Sweden and you lose your mind.
You are always doing it even before you have heard our songs. So ofc then i say that. Its kind of stupid to trash Sweden when you havent heard our 28 yet haha. ridicilous.
Are you jealous about it? You better calm down!
As far as I know, Lithuania benefits the most from diaspora voting(UK, Norway, Ireland and Sweden), not Poland.
Russia has also lots of diaspora points but they still manage to get points from other countries too
You shouldn’t take it personally. That’s what most countries would do (rig the running order, massively vote for themselves etc.) under the same set of rules, so Poland has just jumped on the bandwagon, nothing more. And – that’s the attitude quite a number of countries gets in the 4 cases you mention, Poland is no exception. What I’m trying to say is – no-one has anything against Poland as Poland, to me it seems as if everybody (including Poles who are not too absorbed in their own victory) is enraged by the half-baked EBU rules for JESC. That said,… Read more »
We are not getting out of Poland unless the “public” voting changes. It doesn’t make any sense to vote for your own country. You just have to see the viewing figures in each country to see who has the most online votes. Obviously Poland got 166 points from that. I’m aware my country, Spain , also received a lot of points from self voting, but it is on a different scale. I would dare to say Kazakhistan is the real winner. Also, “Superhero” was no more than a pop superstar reject transalated into Polish with some lyrics change to fit… Read more »
The other countries with less then 10 million should get to together and say to the EBU they will withdraw if EBU dont end the online voting. We will be in Poland forever. They have 7 million who watches. The biggest audience and all of them had Poland as their number 1 like last year….. JESC is dead now
So go to EBU and stop complaying here!
Quick questions:
1. How many of you still like Junior Eurovision?
2. Who do you think should be the new executive supervisor for JESC starting in 2020?
3. What voting system and time slot will be used in JESC from next year onward?
1. why “still like” ? – I LOVE the JESC as much as the adult ESC (okay, I started watching the contest in 2016) – the quality of the Junior ESC (venue, stage, songs, artists, staging) is increasing from year to year and I think you will agree when I say Gliwice topped some of the adult contests from the past 10 years. 2. I have no clue – and I don’t care about the supervisor. 3. I love the online voting (because so the whole globe could vote for the songs) BUT, the EBU has to make sure, that… Read more »
Its only the voting thats the problem:) 50% jury and 50% televoting i would like again. Im swedish so then i cant vote but i dont care .Better for survival of the show.
I actually enjoyed this JESC more than some of the past Eurovisions tbh. Maybe that’s because I am really feeling the vibe right now, but I also think because there were some high quality song and it was well organized.
1. I do, but I don’t consider it a contest/competition any more. 2. How do you expect people to answer that? Not me, and I’d say, not you either. 3. The sum of the following three: (a) Standard jury vote (b) Online voting in each country, scaled to the 1-12 vote for each county separately, NOT aggregated and scaled to match the total number of points awarded by juries (we all saw where that leads). The problem of preventing people to vote for their own country is a bit hard to block with today’s technology, but at least massive-scale scams… Read more »
i loved the spanish song. Poland and kazasthan are really good but Melano had something special and magic
The production was really good, but the hosts need to calm down, ’cause they have to be neutral and they werent (look a the televote) – that’s a negative fact like Tblisi 2017 where Lizi Pop scream all over every 12 points to Georgia. This online voting needs to be change, it’s pretty unfair how the support from your home country and a bit of strategy can change the final score so far. Viki’s song is good, but i’m a bit annoyed ’cause is the third year in a row that win a kid who act like an adult; is… Read more »
Viki Gabor is superhero
I am very happy for poland. I like the song a lot, not my favorite but a worthy winner. I assume the voting system will change after this, no other country stood a chance with those televoting figures. The idea to allow self voting was bad to begin with. Poland enjoyed the fact (twice) that they are a populated country that takes Junior Eurovision seriously, it gave them an advantage. Frankly, I am glad it did because the production was superb and the Polish enthusiasm was contagious. Poland never hosted Eurovision before so they took it all the way. The… Read more »
What a show !!!!!! Poland proves That they can easily host esc in future years !
Polish song was the best !
Voted for it from france twice 😉
And a message for all of you : shore the joy and stay’ cool 😉
Bravo polska !!!
What a greeeat show! Beautiful stage and design! Good job Poland!
Waiting for Bulgaria 2020: Victoria Georgieva article
Well, you can as well see people voting for their own country all the time at ESC. I mean, the Russian and Lithuanian diaspora…
they are not 40 millions like Poland are in Poland. you cant compare that. How should a country like wales or Malta win with this sistem you think? its IMPOSSSIBLE
By voting for more than two countries and up to five at maximum at a time.
Well, they’ve had this voting system for two years and in both of those years, Poland had the best song. In those same two years, Malta and Wales have had pretty bad songs.
You might be right but I’ll be more convinced when Poland are winning with a Gromee-esque JESC entry. 😉
The voting system is (or now “was”) on its third year. Poland didn’t get a good share of online votes in its first year of implementation.
OMG, just go and calm down you little ass 🙂 Best regards from Poland and try hard not to get blown away 😀
Malta was 2nd in online voting in 2017
I forgot that they used the online voting in 2017! Poland came 7th in the online voting that year due to them not having as strong a song. Despite always complaining about the public aspect of the voting, Australia even came 3rd in the online.
So maybe, just maybe it mostly comes down to sending a good song? 😉
The most adult entry wins Junior contest lol
Poland
Great show brawo!
The most adult entry was probably North Macedonia.
Here are my comments on some of the results / performances: 1. Poland – For the 3rd year in a row, the online voting has gone heavily for an upbeat, teen-pop sort of song. The old televote, in contrast, tended to go along with the juries. My feeling is that teen/pre-teen fanbases are driving the online voting, whereas the old televote was parents and adult ESC fans. Poland’s song this year was low on my personal ranking, but I see why it would be popular, and as I said before, all of the elements in the package (composition, lyrics, staging,… Read more »
I feel sad for Malta. Eliana does not deserve the last place and she is in my personal top 5.
Although I didn’t vote for Poland, they’ve been my favourites since they released the song :3 I gave my votes to others who would probably need it more
Congratulations Poland and Viki, you deserve it so much 🙂
On the other hand, Malta did NOT deserve to come last!
And on another topic: yea, Poland deserved this win, but the voting system still has to be changed so you cannot vote for your own country
How can you blame the spots? Spain finished 3rd, France 5th, so they didn’t end up in the bottom 5 as everyone expected and lamented about. Please remember that there can be only one winner so is the top 5 placing really that bad? If the song is good it will defend itself from any spot, no matter drawn or determined.
Poland was a deserved winner and was the entry that bridged the gap between televoter preferences and jury preferences the best. However, it was not 62 pts better than the rest of the pack and the online vote really needs to go. It’s getting to the point that a Polish entry that finishes 8th or above in the jury vote becomes the favourite to win going into the public vote (bit like Russia in the ESC contest at times). As for the rest of the results, I was really pleased! The top three was correct and the next three (although… Read more »
I’m not gonna pretend like what you say doesn’t matter. I’m reading these comments and im literally disgusted. Before contest almost everyone here had Poland in top 5 but now after voting (on 5 countries) you are mad that they won. This song ended up 2nd with juries and unless you think that Kazakhstan would get more voted than Poland if “voting on your country” wasn’t allowed, you have no basis to trash talk. If Spain won would you say that Melani had extra votes from latin america or other dumb thing like that? 160 points was overkill, but even… Read more »
You dont explain how a small country can win like Irealand, Malta, NorthMacedonia. How can they challenge polish fandom at 40 million? You know a small country can NEVER win. Since the online voting it have been Russia,Poland,Poland. they are not small.
Have to agree with Dawid and with you Rasmus (because I see your point) – fact is, that the online voting system works great and the people voted over 3.7 Million times (if I remember that correctly) – but on thing is for sure – the EBU has to “revamp” that system and make sure that you can’t place a vote for your own country. When they can fix that, it is a fair voting system (and people from all over the world are able to vote).
but Poland is included in small countries. During Eurovision, most countries were larger and have a larger population than Poland. However, Poland won fairly
To all those saying that Poland got 40% of the online vote, they didn’t. They got 15%. I agree that the system needs to be revised, but do people have to take it out on the winner and others that did well? I’ve seen on wikipedia people spamming the page and calling the girl from Poland “Piggy Gabor” and the Kazakh boy “The chinese kid”, It’s really uncalled for. These are children just trying to show off what they can do and have a good time and people think it’s okay to bully them like that? It disgusts me. It’s… Read more »
What should Malta, Ireland, Wales, Portugal, Serbia, North Macedonia, Albania, Georgia, Belarus do now? With this sistem ONLY big countries can win with over 10 million people. i think all should quit. They will never win with online voting. Never
NO! Those countries should always, or almost always, participate! 😉
they cant win with this sistem. you know that to
They’ll probably change the vote system under the pressure of the public. Tbh I don’t care because all my favorites finished high or at least in the top 10.
My ultimate takeaways from the show: – Overall, the show was really good. The stage was fantastic and the LED was perhaps the best we’ve seen Adult or Junior. It was all so sophisticated. – Interesting how the juries did not like Poland and Kazakhstan last year (with better songs) and then come 1st and 2nd with the juries this year. – This Kazakh entry is now their best placing entry. I feel a little disappointed that this was their best placing entry and not last year. I feel like both songs were jury bait. – Talking further about Kazakhstan,… Read more »
Love it when I read “Worst JESC ever” from people who can’t stand the voting system… those people don’t understand anything about what’s important in this contest. The voting system is not fair? I agree with you. But it doesn’t mean the whole contest is bullshit. This JESC was by far the best I’ve ever seen because of the quality of the songs and singers. Today we saw really talented boys and girls. They showed their art and that’s what matter 😉 Plus all the best countries received good points except for Malta who deserved so much more. The results… Read more »
worst JESC 2019 EVER. clearly poland sabotaged the favorites to perform early in the how and i hate jesc now
Please let me know when you like Junior Eurovision again! 😉
Were the presenters talking english? im sorry but that was a very polish
Please? The 2010’s are almost over, and there’s still time left to decide if you will like Junior Eurovision again. 🙂
As a Swede you should be quiet right now. You guys say Yeorge instead of George, Yermany instead of Germany xD
I hope Poland won’t host next year. The allocation draw made by TVP was a huge mistake. I also expect the online voting to be deleted or changed. Because it is simply just catastrophic. JESC voting needs to change to be fairer, or countries will withdraw from it. I’m really disappointed by this edition of the JESC. The visuals were incredible but the results were unfair.
If Poland hosts next year, DEAL WITH IT! 😉
I would like Poland to host again. The scene the show’s producers offered this year was really good. But the allocation draw made by TVP was really unfair for all of Poland’s challengers, especially France, North Macedonia and Spain. Don’t deny it.
you are very bias when its concerning JESC. you know online voting isnt good then Poland gets 40% of the votes from mainly polish. And the other songs was not that bad
When are you gonna stop being a prolific pedophile? You’re creeping me out beccaboo1212 sis
Campbell Grace – ‘prolific pedophile’ …….never heard that before 😀 – but I understand what you want to say.
TVP didn´t make the running order…
They had like two representatives out of at least 10 in a specialised group of producers from across Europe. The same number of reps as France ironically
Sources ?
If Poland won’t host next year, does that mean it will be in Kazakhstan? I’m sure they’d jump at the chance to show they could do a good job, and I’m sure they would do just that.
Spain has said before the results came out, that they would like to host 2020 if Melani wins. Kazakhstan has the problem, that they have to be invited to the show by the host ( because they are no member of the EBU) – so if they want to host they have to ask themself for permission to take part in JESC 2020 ? Mmmmmmh , that sounds strange.
Just watched on Youtube and it was a great show. All countries should be proud of what they’ve done, especially Poland who hosted it beautifully. It’s obvious that the voting system needs to be reviewed. Unfortunately it creates distortions (it’s absurd that you can vote for your own country) and with it any final result will get under suspicion, even a fair one. But let’s remember that the artists are just doing their job, they’re not the ones to blame. Those kids are brilliant and I would love to see them getting to adult Eurovision someday.
Nice sentiment. 🙂
Notice that I took the “Purple Mask’s no comment road” about the result I disagree with. 🙂 I had a good time watching a bunch of talented kids having fun on the stage. I guess that’s what the Junior competition should always be about. And I honestly believe every single one of them did a great job today.
Yes, they did do a good job. And yes I noticed the no comment approach, haha. 🙂
As for child labour and all those things we can’t talk about… I try to be supportive of JESC, but the truth is I would scrap it in a heartbeat if I were Executive Producer. Kids under that much pressure just doesn’t work for me as good TV. So while I always admire your positive sentiment, it is taken along with some salt this time around.
I understand the feeling. I’m also a little uncomfortable about kids on talent/singing shows, even if some of them were born to do that. I hope at least they have the right support by their family and the broadcasters.
Congratulations to Poland.
It’s a good song, and I understand why it won the junior title.
The bigger story is perhaps the online social media language? Europe: The kids are not alright. Or are they actually just being adults? It’s confusing. Not long until the 2020s next. Share the joy.
First of all congratulations to Poland. The song was really deserving to win. Of course the voting procedure should be revised as it is not pretty fair, but at the same time good song won. As for me, I would be happier for French victory or for Macedonian. However, seeing Poland winning is much more pleasant than Kazakhstan because it was really for kids, really for fun and with the message. And we need to admit that juries loved it either. I am sure no one will recall the melody of Kazakh song or even the song at all while… Read more »
The Kazakh boy is a fantastic vocalist, so I actually don’t mind he winning the jury vote. Though the juries, both in the kids’ and in the adults’ competition seem too attached to vocal skills and production values. Songwriting sometimes feels like the last of their concerns, which only reinforces that we need more diversity between jurors.
Realy, Polish people made most of vote for Kazachstan singer. Lovely, v. talented boy with v. good show. In my opinion his show vas beautiful.
Was this truly thé best song of thé evening. Sounds terrible…
How tf did Italy do so good like what’s going on there and Australias vocals were a bit off tbh
Italy finishing 6th in the televote despite no hype nor a huge audience of JESC in the country is really impressive. Kudos to Marta Viola, she made Italy get another top 10 out of nowhere.
Ireland should be in top 5. Poland is good but North Macedonia and Armenia should be the top 2
