massive musical brainwashing..........horrible!!!!

There wasn't any song that I liked at all. But the last part has always been a fun to watch for me.

You know.
Cypriot Greeks to Greeks = 12 points
Greeks to Cypriot Greeks = 12 points (was not possible this year)

Now we have a similar one this year.
Turkey to Azerbaijan = 12 points
Azerbaijan to Turkey = 12 points

I cannot keep track of which Slavic country votes for another Slavic country, that's another story.

And there are some communities living in some countries.
Turks in UK, Germany, Holland, Belgium, France etc.
Armenians in France, Turkey etc.
Poles in Eire, Germany etc.

And poor England (oops UK) almost always gets the last place. No chance for them. They can forget about winning this contest once again with this format.

Of course voting shows national preferences and would be exactly the same without songs. Balkans will always be high as Yugoslavia got divided. Poland got the same place that Germany and UK did this year! How cool is that?

I hated the Russian song, and the Greek Britney Spears doing Shakira'a hip shaking was not my type either. Turkey did great, I think they deserved a higher place, right after Armenia and Finland. Well..my husband's fav was Spain - especially the choreography, Latvia's Jolly Pirates got us hysterical and Bosnia&Herzegovina left us with a wtf expression on our faces.

Our commentator said that Russia invested loads of money in their song, apparently it paid back. And what is always fun for me when I watch it is guessing the votes. Cyprus to Greece, Sweden to Norway etc

If the criteria had been how good the songs were instead of the boobs&ass and neighborhood factors, Serbia would have taken the first spot followed by Turkey and Croatia.

Congratulations to Mor ve Otesi, they did a very good job, and I`m glad they sang in Turkish. Their song shined out among the crappy songs of Russia Ukraine Greece and Armenia.

Oh, Croatia! I forgot about them - the only country to have someone better than 50 Cent - they have 75Cent .

Greece got so much from Germany as they love shake-ur-boobs type of songs. but the conspiracy theory made me wet my pants

I liked the Fin group the best. (There language is Turkic and I at least heard the word "balta" and one of the group had one).

Mor and Otesi were good but the Azeri song might have been better.

Everything else especially all the slavic countries did stuff that was really derivative from old American Music.

Just proves that no one likes the UK! Our only allies are Ireland and even then Poland and Latvia came above us! Even though our song was much better than most! But Poland too, I thought was a good song but landlocked with only old USSR states and Germany who was not in it, they also fell foul of the voting!
