I'm trying to remember which ones they were, but after the terrible 'entertainment' during the intermission, its all a big blur :D

Germany had a decent song but alas, the singers were determined to sing it completely out of tune :D
:laugh:
The voting was a big joke once again. The majority of the states in Top10 are former USSR or Balkan states.
it certainly sounded better on the radio :p :Quote:

I think for the first time I actually liked a song! Turkey's one was quite good.
I know they didn't have much chances to win but then why that hot greek girl couldn't win? :p
as for other countries, let's be honest the whole contest is a joke so Spain or Croatia clearly deserved to win ;)
Finland's "rock trick" wasn't going to work twice...
The Latvian pirates proved Johnny Depp isn't the most gay pirate out there.
And Charlotte Perelli(Sweden) wins the Eurovision plastic surgery contest :laugh:
and finally Azerbaijan, Germany and Russia... what the hell was that?
I fear it may in the future cause something even more worrying to happen:Quote:

And I agree 100%.
Would a good idea to stamp out political voting in what is just a friendly competition to simlply deduct a certain number of points from a nation for giving a vote to a political ally? Or to deduct fom a nation whatever number of points that gives to a political ally? So if Denmark gives Sweden 8 points when the Swedish entry is clearly attrocious, deduct 8 from Denmark. Because whilst votes to nations like Greece and Russia can I think clearly condone that on the basis of the entries strength, you had nations in the bottom third getting votes when the entries were worse than dire. More often from polical allies.
Back into jail with you :DQuote:

I can't believe Portugal did quite well, that song was bad and I can't believe Russia won, the song was just.. nothing special.
I'm probably going to watch it again, just to hear Terry Wogan's commentary!
We all know why both was....Quote:

The best thing about the whole farce if you ask me! And certainly the thing that makes the only sense!Quote:
