Oh no don't get me wrong, I'm not mad or anything, I'm just VERY surprised. Last year I wanted to send The Ark and we ended up at the 18th spot. Then I was kinda mad because I didn't understand anything, but now I do.
But this year, i wanted to send another band rather than Charlotte nad so I'm not mad she didn't win, I knew she wasn't going to. But I feel sorry for her since she's been all around Europe promoting and sacrificing so much time on this.
But the bare thought of the pireates from Latvia and the demon from Azerbajdzjan...(??) got ahead of us is killing me. lol. Swedes tend to take this very seriously you see....

Well, of course I'm happy that Russia won (our first won ever on Eurovision )...but if will be fair, the only songs which was't crap, were Izrael (my personal favorite , I even thinking to make a vid with it )..and may be England and Denmark ones as well IMO

Plus, I know this is very un-patriotic, but since I'm not very big Dima Bilan fan, I was so wanting Eygenii Plushenko (the skater) fall out from this little frozen field ..but he did't, so we won LOL...oh, well, I'm just really not that crazy about Eurovision probably

but still, in general this was entertaining, and some perfomances were really nice

i understand you meandi. I'm very surprise too. Not only for Portugal, but for sweden too.
I'm happy that russia won, because i prefer so much more russia than greece. i was so pissed that greece was in the top long minutes (sorry, i know that a lot of ppl like the song, but i can't stand it.)
Honestly i think the "i never let you go" was so much better than "believing" and it's kind the funny because with this song Dima won.
I don't know if is just me, but i believe that the fact that Dima works with Justin Timberlake, Timberland etc had a important weight in the choice of the people, the same goes for that girl of Greece.
A girl like Vania, stranger, never would have chances.
the most ridiculous point of that night was the spanish song. How they could have had more points that Uk or Sweden for example?
Eurovisao is just a joke.

Yeah, it was in the paper today how they want the UK to pull out now because of how much it is down to politics and how everyone votes for their neighbour.

When I liked Russia entry but for me Greece's was my favourite. I'm actually listening to it now, I downloaded the album

Yeah that's what I don't understand is how Spain got so many points, there songs was like WTF?

I think that they should change voting system. It is terrible because some countries, like mine, always get points from their neighbors. We are always in top 10,even though our songs are not so great.
My favorite was Israel. But I'm also glad that Russia won, because I'm sure their Eurovision will be the best

Well I think they should have some sort of "qualifying for participantion in the ESC"-thing. Like, a jury chooses what 25 out of 43 songs that will be allowed to show themselves off on prime time television. I mean - ESTONIA this year?... LOL.
A jury could choose what 25 songs that should participate in the final, not the poeple. That's how I'd like for it to be.
