That covers Ravell's question pretty well. Hell our representative was a wannabe Ricky Martin; Only reason he get there was that all old grandmas gave her their votes.

Edit: Of course he did drop out from the finals.

I actually liked the 3 or 4 first songs (except for that greek silly jumping clown). Bear in mind, the rest of TV channels were actually worse than Eurovision tonight :(

Pondering the votes politically is always fun, I mean, every country gives something to their neighbours, even  though the songs may suck and they were blowing each other to bits just last year :)

hehehe:D

Actually, there were a couple of songs i liked. I thought germanies song was pretty good.

I was suprised the UK got any points to be honest- with the Iraq war and everything.

I don't know what the commentry is like in other countries but in england Terry Wogan is  great.:)

YES!!!  I missed it!  Instead of watching that boring crap, I took part in the Kurland scenario which started at the same time.... followed that with a spell in SecondLife before returning to AH..... and completely missed the Eurovision Song Contest.  :D

I watched it for a change and it was hilarious. It does prove once again why three or four English speaking countries dominate the world of commercial popular music.  It always amazes me what passes for music in other European countries. Having said that Britain and Ireland's songs were crap to put it politely. Ireland only got points from the UK. That may be due to the fact that part of Ireland is in the UK :) On the other hand the UK got an 8 from Ireland for a change.  Ireland is out next year thank goodness. Now I won't have to sit through the Eurovision search for a Eurostar  programmes which my girlfriend loves. :cool:

I couldn't believe Serbia's song got so many points. I was beginning to suspect some kind international vote rigging scam was going on.  It was also noticeable that of the 24 songs all but three were sung in English or something close to it anyway. Only France, Austria and Serbia-Montenegro were sung in their own language.  In fact the whole programme went out in English except for  some of the point scoring which was in French.

Nul points for Norway again. It's becoming traditional now:rofl
