i like the songs of Bosnia-Herzegovina, Georgia, Macedonia,Serbia, Finland and Moldova

Huh? It was broadcasted on TRT İNT in Turkey and now, before showing the votes, there is a programme abotu EFES? Did it switch to another channel or are the votes in half an hour or something?

And.. as expected... Turkey got 12 points from the Netherlands. I cant help but love and hate Paul de Leeuw at the same time

it seems that eurovision come to end.I have watched voting and results and noticed I can guess who will get best point to others,for example all balkans countries support each other like scandinavians,old soviet countries...

it is not exciting contest and funny...hah

It was SO obvious to see that almost everyone gives the highest votes for their neighbour countries, no matter the quality of the songs. I think it has been really corrupted this year.

And what the heck is going on with Ukraine being number two? That song was just awful Well I could go on ranting but I won't, bottom line is there were many bad songs this year. I didn't vote because I didn't vote because there weren't any songs I liked enough to spend 20 kuruş on it

There was a few songs in the semifinals which I believe were far better than the highest ranked songs...too bad for them.

I am not so sure it's only about sentimental feelings of ex-countries... it's more the same taste for certain type of music. Like Greece and Cyprus, or Bosnia and Herzegovina and Turkey. And we should count diaspora as well.

CONGRATULATIONS SERBIA
Serbian ballad wins at Eurovision

Trudy is right, there are much better songs and singers in Türkiye…

No because eg. Greece and Cyprus almost ALWAYS give eachother 12 points and they would never dream of giving Turkey high points. I think genres have been spread pretty much, there's little or no pattern when it comes to that.

But I always like when the countries have some cultural referances like Deli_kizin mentioned earlier. Cyprus sang in french this year, what's the point of that? And there was also another country which partly sang (or counted, rather) in german...come on ya! I think it's a shame everyone's gone so mainstream, there's almost no distinction. Any song could have been from any country, pretty much. There's so few countries who sing in their own language, why?

I can't deny I am happy tonight... Thanks, Culday!!!
