I saw through some friends that was a shitshow. They were all rooting for Käärija. Its a really nice song.
Käärija received an overwhelming amount of support even from other contestants and at least I cannot blame them; he's a silly short guy from a country with a "weird" language that only wants to entertain. Crazy, yet extremely humble and simply the opposite to mainstream pop music.
Though it should be said that Eurovision always has been a shitshow and its very first run is no exception. The rankings of six out of the seven contestants from 1956 still are a mystery to this day, only the recording of the winner's performance survived, and rumors claim that Switzerland's victory was a result of politics. This year certainly proved to be no exception of this unspoken rule.
