I found a great article online from the spectator. People seem to have enough with the bbc and this seems to tell us why their attempts are failing. http://blogs.spectator.co.uk/2016/05...n-humiliation/

Sorry I haven't been posting on here, was stupidly busy in Stockholm and still recovering from the trip. How people do it for two weeks is beyond me considering I was there for three nights and I nearly felt like death on Sunday Morning.
Will post my thoughts on my trip and being inside the arena in the not too distant future. |

Ah it wasn't that bad! His name is Stephen Colbert and he, like all late night hosts in America, ridicules everything.It also appears that "Can't Stop This Feeling" is the 3rd song to be performed at Eurovision and then top the Billboard Hot 100 after Italy 1958 and Luxembourg 1967. Surprisingly "Waterloo" and "Where Does My Heart Beat Now" did not go to #1. http://www.billboard.com/articles/ne...he-new-seekers |

Announcement from the EBU: Quote:
Statement in response to petition on Change.org calling for the results of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest to be revised.
--------- The 2016 Eurovision Song Contest was a spectacular show and a testament to a year of hard work by so many people from so many countries. The live shows were world-class television productions with a thriller climax on Saturday night. We understand the passions and emotions that are engendered through the Eurovision Song Contest. In light of this, we have taken notice of your petition and appreciate this opportunity to respond. The winner of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest was decided by music industry professionals and you, viewers at home, each with a 50 percent stake in the result. Ukraine's Jamala won, thanks to broad support from both the juries as well as televoters. She did so with an outstanding performance of an emotional song, telling a personal story. Australia's Dami Im won the jury vote and Russia's Sergey Lazarev won the televoting. They both deserve credit for their world-class performances, their great songs and for taking their loss as true professionals. They may not have won the contest, but responded to the outcome as winners. We respect and appreciate them for that. The Eurovision Song Contest is a competition. There can only be one winner. We understand that not everyone agrees with the outcome of this year's Eurovision Song Contest however in a competition where the results are decided based on a subjective and often very personal opinions, there will always be people who do not agree. Regardless of this, the result remains valid by all means, in accordance with the rules as they were known to each participating broadcaster, each artist and each dedicated fan. Ukraine is, and will remain, the winner of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest. Whether you agree or disagree, we call upon those who signed this petition to embrace the result, valid in accordance with the rules, and to continue a constructive dialogue about how to further strengthen and improve the Eurovision Song Contest. |

I mean, people actually signed a petition to change the result? The result ,that was valid in terms of the rules, of a song that was also deemed valid by the organisation?
Weird, don't they have better things to do? |

No. People love signing petitions about trivial things. Nearly 100,000 people have signed a petition today because the BBC are removing 11,000 old recipes from their website! I am actually starting to question the sanity of people.

I don't know who wrote that EBU response but I admire the way he or she repressed the urge to tell the petition signers to go f**k themselves.

Absoutely daft , you can't go around asking/demanding the winner be changed just cos you dont agree with a song winning fair and square.

Understandable. I've channelled my inner Nigella many a time with the help of BBC Good Food.
