That's at least pointful and connected to history... much unlike the Eurovision

I actually liked the Turkish one as well...at least they didn't sell out and sing in crappy English accents (Russia, Azerbaijan anyone?)
I hate the inflammatory remarks by Terry Wogan...UK got 14 because their song sucked (in my opinion)...it's not like western European countries gave UK any points. Sure there is bloc-voting but if western countries gave better songs perhaps things could be different...

I don't really like europop music so it's kind of hard for me to rank these songs, I tend to simply go with the act that has the most sexy women in short skirts. The music will of course be awful but at least I can get turned on.
In terms of actual quality I think Turkey had by far the best performance.

The song was crap and the singer a twat. But that could be said about most participants I guess.

I said nothing about the singer or his singing qualities etc . I complemented Russia with its victory from another perspective. They made a smart move with the popular justin timberlake sound and getting support from that prize- animal Plushenko and the hungarian violist . Nice work

The only decent rock song was the Turkish one. All others were Euro-pop rubbish....
I liked the French guy as well.
The Russian one was unbelievably bad. It hurt my ears listening to such cacophony...

Couldn't agree more. Basically, the top ranked songs were also among the crappiest, but had strong political connections. Russia received a ridiculous amount of ex-soviet votes. Ukraine at least had a hot singer I like the croatian song. The turkish was kinda cool as well.

Is it me or are all the bands submitted to Eurovision meant to be deliberately rubbish and corny? I know for a fact that Germany, France, Israel, UK, Italy, Russia, Serbia, Greece and many more besides could have submitted much better stuff

Thanks to our large Russian minority we are destined to give 12 points to Russia forever.

I wish there was some gambling involved here. I was guessing who will vote on who even though I didn't hear some of the songs. Cyprus always for Greece, Scandinavians for Scandinavians, Azerbijan for Turkey and vice versa. Former USSR republics on Russia and other former USSR republics and Balkan countries for Balkan countries. We were the last but in good companion: Germany and UK. Only Ireland and UK vote for us ( big number of Polish immigrants I guess )

Latvia is the coolest song I've heard so far! Any song about pirates deserves to win!
