What did you think of the Eurovision song Contest results?

As with every year, some decent songs, mostly a load of pap (two Ricki Martin clones in one show? And what happened the Irish lass's voice? She was terrible!) but mostly a prime example of international co-operation. The eastern European countries all voted for each other. The Western European nations voted more impartially, with the exception of Malta... but we needed the points so I don't really mind that. Malta's a great country anyway.
It was funny to watch nations that had until recently been kicking seven bells out of each other giving handing over the top points to each other. Bosnia and Serbia being the best example.

I am happy for Serbia although very surprised. Maria is very good singer, and it seems she got a lot of votes from gay population, as the rumor says and they mentioned it last night on press conference. Serbia had great song some 2-3 years ago (Lane moje) but couldn't win because all ex Soviet republics voted for Ukraine (Ruslana). I watch Eurovision regularly but I never can predict who will win, I always fail with that. Anyway, song is good and she sings great (in Serbia, she is fighting for real music, and that people finally start to listen music again, instead of watching it - she is not handsome like 90% of other singers who sing bad but are popular anyway, and I like her because of that). Congrats, Maria!

PS Western European countries always say how they don't take that conest very seriously. They should send some better songs next time (look at Britain's song, for example. Britain can do much much better).

It was as awful this year as usual. Voting is political and nothing to do with the songs.

I didn't see it as I was at work so can't comment on the winner (or the voting) but I'm surprised that we got ANY votes...that song was dreadful. We have so many excellent singers, musicians & bands in this country and that's the best we can find???! If we had to qualify each year, we'd rarely get in to the final at all now.

Anyway, you could always go to Serbia next year - you don't have to wait for the UK to win (you could be dead before that happens, judging by our recent entry choices). I went to Athens last year and had a fantastic evening - helped by the fact that I like rock & guitar bands, so I was rooting for Lordi anyway (Daz was just too awful for words), but only entries were great. The downside is that you don't get Terry Wogan's commentary. My friend and I had planned to go to Helsinki but the tickets sold out so quickly!

The glitz, the camaraderie and the political voting is all part of the fun....and FYI, there is a large gay contingent that go each year and they vote based on which country they'd like to visit next...and it needs to be somewhere that is likely to be warm in May - they were NOT impressed, last year, at the idea of going to Finland.

lolz.. songs were pretty funny (esp.) ukraine..
i wanted either russia, maldova, fyr macedonia to win but yeh serbia was ok.

i felt so sorry for ireland..they came last and the uk didnt even vote for them... f****ing brits!! jks jks!!

i think the uk should have sent either leona lewis or shane ward... i checked out all the profile for the singers in those other countries and they were all very famous and professionals...

cant believe uk made a mistake by putting "scooch" in...who are they anyways??

as for ireland (where i live) what were u thinking putting "dervish" in?? omg!!! they were dreadful!!! to be honest...

also i think that those votes were given bcuz of political reasons and NOT the songs!! they shouldnt do that..its not fair! probably bcuz they're afraid they're gonna get a world war 3 if they didnt vote for the country.... e.g. russia and gorgia.!!

Northern Lad

Ohh, c`mon, apart from being the pits, it really is political. The UK had more chance of winning the Bin Laden friendship award.

tommy6000009

the scoring was a disgrace and always will be until they work out a better scoring system, but i do agree with the winner as i thought it was the best song of a bad bunch, and what about us(ireland) giving lithuania 12 points guess who was doing the voting there, lithuanians!!!

The Irish Dragon

I'm very disappointed :-( Ireland was almost the only entry that relied on music as the entry instead of ridiculous costumes, fireworks displays, silly dancing and torches built into your hand etc., and we come last!! I suppose Euro"vision" is a good name for it since it obviously has little do to with the actual song any more... yes she did need some cough medicine before going on stage lol, but it was a very good representative of Irish music. I quite liked that song [sigh]... well we won 7 times already so it's not the end of the world :-P I used to be Eurovisions biggest fan, but the last few years it's been disappointing! BTW, despite the silliness of the UK entry I did actually like it and it got my vote ;-) Thanks for your vote for Ireland!! Pity it didn't actually get through lol even 1 UK point would have been nice hehe :-P

Mark C

Yep another round of political voting and Terry Wogan giggling at it all again, maybe we should have stayed with the gaffe he made and put in a UK entry that had half a chance.

'H'

How come if an eastern european state votes for another it's political yet when Ireland votes for us it's good taste?! There are politics involved, but culture also, folk are more likely to votefor the music that is familiar to them so countried with similar cultural backgrounds are more likely to vote for each others music.

Pebble da rebble

All a con as usual, but our entry {britain] ggot all the votes it deserved and perhaps a few more.

limplegs

I did not watch it, what a waste of time it is, way too old fashioned for this day and age.

No wonder our song got nil points.... it was awful, surely we can come up with something better than that

Yoruba

Sorry didn't watch it.

nathan s

well u put the british name 2 shame YOU YOU YOU stupid person

Cosminbr1991

romania must be he winner, because im from romania but the winner are the best

momof3granof1

Husband took one daughter to see Spiderman as they refused to watch it.lol

My other daughter and I watched it with chocolate, wine and dips.

We thought that the songs this year were better than other years and my fav was Latvia the sort of LDiva type of singers. Daughter liked Sweden and the winner .
Well I thought the lead singer was from well not going to say but did not know if it was a he or a she or a bit of both.
Our song typical as to votes and where it come but lets face it our song was full of cheese and almost the worst there.

I bet everyone thinks we are just sore losers. But in fact, eurovision is political.
I think politics and religion have alot to do with the problems that are in this world at the moment.
So its not surprising that even the good thing that unites all the EU once a year is now tainted with politics. Its a shame.

Totally Blunt

I couldn't believe how Britain, the birth place of so many great bands, chose that one for Eurovision.

The results were crap. The clique voting has become unsupportable. I think I'm going to watch the songs, but not the voting next year.

I am not a Kenan Dogulu fan, but I tought his was the best performance. Thank you Britain, for the points!

nelaq

I watched the show and I didn't like Serbia's song at all, as well as the singer.

Turkey was my favorite and Greece was also a good one.

Irmak

Hmm :-)

Generally, most of the countries gave the big points to their neighbours.I'm from Turkey and I was very very happy when Britain gave us 12 pts; thanks Britain :-)

I didn't like Serbia's song and singer..My favourite was Moldova, other than my country..

pete m

srracvuee
