Twitter united to live-tweet Eurovision – 37 sure-fire hits
By now, you must be aware of the Eurovision results and, if not, where have you been?
Either way, this round-up of people’s contains spoilers referencing the UK entrant Sam Ryder’s near-miss after winning the judges’ vote section, and Ukraine’s ultimate triumph when they all but swept the board of the public vote.
President Zelensky made time to celebrate the achievement.
Taking the (information) war to a whole new level, Zelensky just announced Ukraine winning the #Eurovision will be symbolic for Ukraine winning the war. #Eurovision2022 starting… right now. pic.twitter.com/nnZ9mj1Koq

Ukrainian reporter Illia Ponomarenko made a prediction.
Next year in a liberated Mariupol.
We’ll sort it out somehow.#Eurovision2022— Illia Ponomarenko 🇺🇦 (@IAPonomarenko) May 14, 2022
Sam Ryder cemented his place in history.
Sam Ryder is a NATIONAL HERO and should be the next monarch. Outstanding work. #Eurovision

As ever, Eurovision night refreshed the parts of Twitter other singing contests cannot reach. I’m looking at you, The Voice.
These were some of the best reactions.

Someone asked what #Eurovision actually is, so basically it's the real European elections but we disguise it as a show where we send in either genuine or preposterous singing performances and then each country votes according to mostly predictable national preferences

If the UK wins we will need to postpone it for a few years to allow time for all the contestants to fill in their 100 page visa applications. #Eurovision

Americans must wonder what the hell we’re all going on about on Eurovision night. Now they know how we feel when they tweet about getting a zucchini stuck in their diaper at Arby’s. #Eurovision

#Eurovision on Twitter feels a bit like carnival in Cologne when you haven’t been born there. Everyone you thought a serious person until then suddenly goes nuts and you really don’t get it.
