Mai jos puteți citi primele comentarii apărute în presa britanică:

The Guardian:
În momentul în care România a anunțat punctele: Romania! Land of inexplicably illuminated EVERYTHING! Hungary are now winning. Was that the song about child abuse? Europe, what is it with you?

Despre prestația lui Molly:
Finally, it’s us! And this year we’re not coming in the form of Englebert Humperdinck or Bonnie Tyler! We’re young! We’re fresh! We’re… we’re sort of a little bit generic and probably won’t do especially well at Eurovision as a result. But we’re performing last, so at least people will actually remember that we’re in Eurovision this year, right? That’s how it works, isn’t it? Right?

DESPRE ROMÂNIA:
Time for ROMANIA to make a flag with some explosives next to a lake. So far, all of these videos have looked like Match.com adverts. Not a compliment, by the way. Oh, how fantastic. A boy/girl duet. And, in true Eurovision tradition, there is almost zero chemistry between them. More importantly, though, what are they singing about? Something’s a miracle, but I don’t think they’ve said what yet. Maybe they’re talking about how the male singer has managed to balance a thimbleful of hair on top of his head like that. That seems vaguely miraculous, doesn’t it?

This performance is also notable for a man playing a piano that loops around him in a giant circle. It strikes me that if another entry had rotated the piano by just five degrees, this song would turn into a hilarious off-key Les Dawson parody of itself. But nobody did. This is why I should do Eurovision next year.

Tot în The Guardian a fost publicat și un ghid al neinițiatului în tainele Eurovision. Iată un scurt citat:
To an outsider, Eurovision’s mix of Spanish power ballads, Montenegrin rap, Serbian turbo-folk and Romanian opera (to name just a few genres you may see in any given year) may seem inscrutable. But therein lies its curious genius. For almost 60 years, the contest has celebrated continental culture in all its glorious diversity, as well as proving a launchpad for talents as diverse as Abba, Celine Dion and Serge Gainsbourg.

The Mirror
DESPRE VOT
They found out that this bias tends to be positive, and that countries tend to favour contestants with which they have strong cultural, geographic, historical or migration-based links.

Cyprus is the most loyal and least fair country.

They have given their maximum points to Greece on 11 occasions out of 12. Cyprus is also Greece’s favourite, but the Greek are less loyal, having given them full marks only 6 out of a possible 13 times.

Tiny Andorra are also very likely to give maximum points to Spain: they’ve done that 5 out of 6 times. These two countries form what is known as the „Pyrenean Axis”. Unfortunately Andorra’s affection for Spain isn’t reciprocated: the Spanish have never given them 12 points.

Countries in the „Balkan Bloc” tend to have very cozy relationships.

Moldova give neighbouring Romania maximum points 75% of the time: they have given them 12 points on six out of eight occasions. Romania have reciprocated – giving them 7 out of 13 possible maximums.
