Indeed, this time the Serbs would surely deserve it

So far, Moldova has the most kick-as show, their grandmommy is just so cool

OMFG.......



I am so sorry that I haven't watched any of this.....


Ruslana with a flamethrower, tho.

Again a victory against taste (as usual). Norway or Moldova would have deserved victory. Well, the fat Maltese woman had a great voice and the song was rather good for a "Schnulze".

Germany...

Also, ex-Yugoslavian nations (and maybe Scandinavians) should be excluded from voting. While other alliances are limited to 2 (Greece, Cyprus) or 3 nations (UK, Ireland, Malta), Croatia has 40 points fixum from Slovenia, Serbia, Bosnia and Macedonia.
Macedonia gets additional 12 points from Albania...

And it's official: More people in Austria watch the voting than the contest.

There's an alliance between the UK and Ireland?

If you want to see "alliances", check out the voting patterns of the Baltic nations. However I think that's just a reflection of shared cultural values between neighbours, not some sort of conspiracy.

This means the multitude of little nations in the east now benefit, at the expense of the big nations in the West. That's why Western Europe comes last.

We write the cheques, we get the perks of always being in Eurovision.

Well, that was officially the campiest thing I've watched lately. Next year, I'm so hosting my own Eurovision party instead of viewing it in a bar.

Shiri Maimon - I'd hit it ( she's from my city, btw ).


Ruslana - I'd definetly hit it!!!!!!!!

[Atahualpa]

Yeah I definately agree that Norway would have deserved the win.... they at least had some music... instead everyone just votes for a hot chick with an average song

And actually, I didn't find the ukranian rapper that bad.

On the positive front was that this time the classic votes did not decide so much. Ofc we saw the former eastern block giving points to russia and the mandatory Greece-Cyprus ( ) and of course Ex-Yugoslawia should be forced to be reunited again (based on how they vote for each other) but overall it was not that severe.

[Az]

Yeah, because it's well-known that the people of former Yugo love eachother a lot.

Tito lives

The only song with even a bit of character was Moldova. The rest was a boring sludge of off-key singing, ethno crap and really bad clothing. Fashion disasters without an artistic bone in their bodies

And while Greece had a great show and Elena has a great voice (and she is from my hometown! ) the song itself was the same boring ethno crap as many others. Not to mention the fact that it was strangely disjointed between verse and refrain.

The voting chart is very interesting, although it doesn't give a definite conclusion.

I didn't watch it, my closest friend Kostas had invited me out for drinks. All our female friends came 2 hours late because they were watching the contest however.

[Bereta_Eder]

we got that one too. hopefully we can now get it out of our system.
(but truth be told paparizou was really really bonkable at the show and the dancing was great)
