Serbia…well, they chose not to sing in English, the girl can sing and they went all out sixties…gotta be worth a point or two.
Odd origami dress, Evanescence style stuff from Georgia.
Moldova or Jedward for the win.
Nostalgic for “Apricot Stone” from last year.
Looked like her.
She is stunning
Rash prediction time: Slovenia in the top three. Spain last.
But I only came in halfway through, so theoretically may have missed some great songs. Although somehow I doubt it.
That’s what we were missing, German ska
Annie I’m not your Daddy/Get your Freak on/Oh Johnny/Dusseldorf Was ist Los?
Well, it’s no Riverdance.
Irishfella wants the Beastie Gnomes to win.
I didn’t understand a single moment of the intermission. Which is how things should be.
Voting as predictable as ever. I did enjoy the tribute to Paul the octopus… although Slovenia giving 12 points to B&H was not a surprise.
Azerbaijan is now wondering how the hell they’re going to stage this thing next year!
Block voting at its best… although the RTE announcer sez Azerbaijan’s showing was entirely unexpected.
But at least West Moldavia gave 12 points to East Romania’s “Beastie Gnomes” (:p) and who knows if France may have saved Spain from absolute humiliation…
RTE to me means Radio Telefis Eireann. Are you really watching Irish TV?
Different RTE - Radio Televisión Española
That makes much more sense!
It’s official.
Next year in Baku.
Eurovision goes to Asia
This is the first year I can remember where I didn’t bother watching it. I’m kinda glad I didn’t.
As opposed to the actual competition. 
BTW I understand the need for “culling the herd” with the finalists, but I still sort of miss Latvia’s recurring *“we’re taking this as seriously as it deserves, which means not at all” *entries.
Meh, it’s been held in Israel a couple of times.
Azerbaijan shares a border with Iran.
I know it’s been in Israel (where most people’s parents or grandparents are European) and Turkey (50/50 Europe and Asia), but this just feels much less European than either.
I’m thinking that should certain terrorist organisations be seeking major targets in the near future, this might have been a win for them too.
The one down side to the 50% jury system is that genuinely FUN acts, like Moldova, may not get the results as juries just don’t like that.
I had Moldova. Italy and Switzerland as my top 3. At least one did OK.
