It is not yet clear how often voting by SMS has not gone well and whether this has affected the final result. Half of the points for the participating countries were determined by country juries and the other half by television viewers.
The NOS editors have asked the organization of the Eurovision Song Contest for an explanation, but they have not yet responded.
Italy won the Eurovision Song Contest, the Netherlands finished in 23rd place.
Cocaine?
There is also a lot of talk on social media about singer Damiano David of the Italian group Måneskin. It is suggested that the lead singer snorted a line of cocaine while waiting for the results.
David himself denies that he used cocaine on the show. “I don’t use drugs, please don’t say that,” the singer said at a press conference after the Eurovision Song Contest.
Also in a message on Instagram, the band emphasizes that the lead singer has not used cocaine. In the message, the band writes that they are willing to be tested for drug use.
