[BEFORE THE CALL] ♪ ♫ ♬ (Will it be Käärijä or Loreen? Let’s watch the show and soon we will find out!) 🙂
[AFTER THE CALL ] 𝄞 ♫ ♬ (Jesus, if only I had known... I would have watched the news instead) 🙁

Last May I decided I would vote
Help Finns win the contest for a change
Should I text or call?
Use the app?
Calling’s cheaper
So I called Digame*

No one should go through what happened next (Yes Dígame?)**
Televoting haunts me to this day (Yes Dígame?)
When my call got through
no one spoke
it was eerie, the ordeal had begun:

“Hello? Is anybody there?”
Dígame?
“Watcha mean Dígame? It is ME that has asked you!!!”
“Hello? Could someone count my vote?”
Dígame?
“What the fuck’s going on, all I want
is an answer!!!!”

“Please man, tell me what I have to do!!!”
Yes Dígame?”
“Will you please just stop repeating that?!?!?”
Yes Dígame?
“Is this Österdahl?!?”
Dígame?
“ALL I WANT IS TO VOTE FOR CHA CHA CHA!!!!”

“Please help, I’ve pulled out all my hair!”
Dígame?
“For fuck’s sake, what is this, count my vote, you’re Loreen aren’t you????”
Diga, Diga, Diga, Diga...Dígame?
“Oh my god, this is Måns isn’t it?!? VOTE FOR FINLAND!!!!”

Diga, diga, diga, diga... Dígame?”​
“I’m in hell, it’s Carola, The Ark and John Lundvik too !!!!”
Diga, diga, diga, diga... Dígame?
“I give up, fuck you all, you know what? VOTE FOR SWEDEN!!!”
Thank you

OH NO
FINLAND LOST BY JUST ONE POINT 😣

*Digame is the company based in Germany that is responsible for collecting and tabulating the phone and text votes during Eurovision

**Dígame: it’s what most Spaniards say when they answer the phone (“Hello?” in English)

Both mean “Tell Me”
