hey! I was just about to start a thread about this. Damn!

It horrifies me that Sweden won. I'm meen how bad taste does our fellow Europeans have? It's "Dansbands" music for Christ sake! Worse than Country! I have to admit though that I didn't hear the rest of the songs. It's to boring...

Seriously, how could Norway select such a complete Moron to do their song? Brat.

Just Menaged to catch the voting...

This was the worst EuroSong Contest that i can think of...
And the Germany song ending up on third place??? This was purely politic woting i saw some countries do...Even the audience started protesting after Germany got the second 12.

And Germany voted 12 for Turkey? Come On!

Loved seeing Diva fall on his/her ass though..

Cheers

Germany wasn't a bad song...

I think the dangers with phone voting is that Juries tend to vote for the good songs, while phone votes tend to be "Sympathy" votes, ie. Germany and Turkey exchanging 12s, Croatia and Bosnia, etc. (Surprisingly Poland didn't give any points at all to Lithuania. Why? It used to be part of poland before WWII...)

Argh. I missed it, and I hoped it would be glossed over, but obviously not.

Yeah, right - the bastards annexed Vilnius and fought a war over that until we were annexed completely by USSR. No voluntary common state with Poland in XX century. Nope. But it is now one of our best friends and I wonder why they didn�t vote for that stupid babe of ours. Oh well.

Actually Lithuania's wasn't a bad song... A little to muc faux cranberries over the whole thing, though.

They're all crap. Never have I come across a song in Eurovision that is at all good.
