The quality and energy of this guy on Eurovision is amazing. If anyone in the uk wants to know why this quality of Hi-camp (ment in the very highest respect) out shines the UK entry, just look at his pedigree. He is an established artist as opposed to well meaning novices. Sir you have my utmost respect

They were amazing as their song and their amazing ++++++ dance. I think Serbia didn’t deserve to win.
Ukraina should be the winner.(Actually if our song Shake it up Shekerim was the winner I would be so happy:)*

Verka is fantastic!
I wish we had some artists like him over here in England!
Funny songs but great rhythm also.
As for Skooch, they were crap.

Super tare Verka! Pacat insa ca nu a castigat Eurovisionul, insa probabil telespectatorii au considerat ca Ucraina a organizat de curand spectacolul si nu ar avea bani de inca un spectacol .
