Eurovision: The Happy, The Unhappy, The Jamala

With Eurovision 2016 wrapping up last night, Twitter is still on fire. The bottom line is that 72,915 tweets were flicking out per minute just after the winner, Ukraine’s Jamala, was announced. However, the content of those tweets ranges from massively excited to downright ticked off.

Australians are unhappy that Dami Im, their sequinned representative, was way ahead with the judges but let down by public vote.

Russians are unhappy that Jamala’s song, 1944, is pretty darn anti-kremlin.

#Eurovision is a Russophobic festival of sodomy that we are outraged we didn’t win.

J.K. Rowling is unhappy that her husband voted for Poland’s Michal Szpak.

My husband just told me he voted for Poland while I was making tea. A reminder that you never *really* know another human being. #Eurovision

And both the UK and the US are just happy Justin Timberlake was involved.

So @jtimberlake basically won #Eurovision with his performance, right? https://t.co/upQLTsnrRH pic.twitter.com/TwR68qBAbw
