Eurovision Song Contest 2012 - Baku

[Reece]

Serbia's entry sounds very similar to Paradise by Coldplay... At least, parts of the melody.

[Gandalf]

The Russian grannies had a lot of support from the crowd. Sure they are not the best voices but they are showing real spirit. Only Norway and Romania came close for me, other wer just generic pop songs.
We will see what the votes say...

Our entry (UK) was good too!

Voted for the Russian grannies.

Cof : You're just so stupid that you have to equivocate and mix shit into other shit. You don't get my point. You keep turning simple thoughts into hatre and a reason to turn this into a dispute. Why won't you just ... you know ... become less madje ?

You should learn to address people without flaming. You aint gonna be tough over internet if you do it. I pointed out your hypocrit attitude cause of your comment toward Balkan countries, while you and a big majority of Turks in Germany will vote for Turkey representative. And there's no reason to cry about it.

Greece, Cyprus, Romania, and Grannies. There's alot of good songs this years, like Sweden, its a hard desicion.

[Toto]

Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Russia I liked all of them.

[Alsatian]

I only caught a glimpse of it, and the only one that was remotely good in my eyes was Germany's. That being said, even that was still pretty shit.

I don't flame, I just have a close-to-tourette-like way to express myself, just too bad that I voted for Estonia and you implying that I'm a stereotypical immigrant in Germany has not worked out, has it ?

[Reece]

Sweden have clearly won.

[Cofiliano]

Sweden won more then deserved, congratulations.

[Gimli]

I'm sad that people can't vote on things like this without bias (not talking about the winners)... I'm talking about countries giving out points to their neighbours just because they're neighbours (e.g. the balkans), emigrants giving points to their home countries or direct political bias (Georgia giving 12 pts to Lithuania)..

Congrats to Sweden though!

[Emre]

Any count that comes from Scandinavia, the Baltic states, the Balkan or the mid east has sure had neighbour-advantages (Especially Turkey, FYR Macedonia, Albania and ... yeah that is it). This thing turns into political matters, but Sweden's victory was somewhat obvious.

Gimli, please could you PM how is Georgia politically biased toward Lithuania? I do though agree with you to some degree, but as you know some of it is already decreased by the fact that half of the points by all the countries are given by the jury. That counts for Estonia for example not giving 12 points toward Russia anymore. Also it is not that bad in Western and Northern Europe for some reason. Also if you think that politics is so much part of it, then I ask why doesn't the winners repeat so often? You know last time Sweden won was in 1999.

Anyway congratulations to Sweden. Also I loved the lack of euphoria when  Loreen went to the stage for the final performance. Like a true Northerner.

[Thomas_A]

Of course eurovision is about politics, no wonder Malta or Cyprus havent won yet.

Because of Lithuania's immense support (along with other Baltic countries) for Georgia during the 2008 Russia - Georgia conflict / South Ossetia war - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protests_regarding_2008_South_Ossetia_war

Then why no points to Estonia at all?
