Ege, is there some kind of nationalistic thinking that makes you dislike the Armenian song? :P

I don't see how you could dislike that, other than that there isn't a nice girl in it. Bulgaria has one, and should have made it, as should Albania. Long live ethno-rock in ESC! :D

Bulgarian song is okay but not Albanian and Armenian one and I don't dislike Armenian song because it is Armenian
Armenian song that I've liked in ESC:
Qele Qele(I loved it)
Apricot Stone
Jan Jan

Sad that Turkey isn't in this year. :(

I don't think they would vote unitedly or Greece get a lift from them.

Darn! But Holly Willoughby is on everything on telly right now, whether it be Dancing On Ice, This Morning, or Celebrity Juice! :o

Scott Mills is cool, good choice.
I do hope we give a lot of points to Romania and Malta.

Regardless, it'll be interesting to see who the UK gives points to and who we get points from (if we get any).
I sense this year that the voting will be more entertaining than the singing.

As like every year. I really like the songs but the voting is the cream of the crop.

I voted for Romania. Denmark and the Netherlands were my second favourites.

A pity Bonnie Tyler didn't do better. Although for my own prejudiced reasons, I'm pleased the UK beat Ireland and France :).

Italy was boring, amazed it got into the left side of the table.

As Jack said, the voting in Eurovision is always biased, but I think that's part of the fun lol!

The Swedish 'Smorgasbord' act part way through the voting was cool.

Guys we are talking about Eurovision results, when does results completely amaze us. Frankly Ireland and France's results were abysmal. So does Netherlands(I was expecting Top 3), Slovenia got last in first semi final. San Marino eliminated. Who does liked the Ukrainian song. Greece became 6th that is also not pleasing(Song was crappy).

Before someone asks, I usually like or love Greek entrants:
Aphrodisiac
This is Our Night
Shake It
Yassou Maria
Secret Combination
My Number One
Watch My Dance(Partially)

Lololo, what did foreign presenters say about Petra Mede this time? :P

Sorry guys, but I really didn't like Bonnie Tyler. In fact, after having had a beer or five, I asked Nigel Farage on twitter to order MI6 to keep her from singing if gets elected PM. :P He obviously didn't respond..

If I was a nation, I would have handed out these points:

12. Romania
10. Denmark
8. Norway
7. Armenia
6. France
5. The Netherlands
4. Iceland
3. Hungary
2. Ireland
1. Grecce

I expected Finland to do better, although I wasn't keen on it myself. The gay marriage angle made it a bit interesting and "political".
