Loreen, the singer from Sweden, won Eurovision for the second time. But among the people who do not agree with the first place, there are also those who think that the result was "manipulated".
The song "Tattoo" was ranked first by collecting 583 points, while Finland with "Cha Cha Cha" in second place received 526 points and was the most voted song by the public.
The national juries that awarded victory to Sweden have sparked criticism and many are calling for the result to be annulled as it may have been rigged.
On the Internet, people have mentioned ABBA's iconic victory with the famous song "Waterloo" in 1974, which turned the ABBA artists into international stars overnight. "Waterloo" is considered by many to be the most extraordinary song in Eurovision history.

Considering Loreen's win this year, people think that the next festival will therefore take place in Sweden and coincide exactly with the 50th anniversary of ABBA's victory, which they will surely perform next year.

In other words, Loreen's victory, according to some, was no fluke.
