Ok, here is MY analysis.

 

I've seperated Europe into two parts. One part containing all the Baltic & Former Soviet states and the other containing the rest of Europe.

 

This is how the REST OF EUROPE voted.

 

This includes votes from Andorra, Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Israel, Malta, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, The Netherlands, Turkey & UK.

 

I have discounted votes from Albania, Armenia, Belarus, Bosnia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Estonia, Macedonia, Georgia, Hungary, Latvia, Moldova, Lithuania, Montenegro, Romania, Russia, Serbia, Slovenia & Ukraine. The results table would look like this...

 

1 1 Serbia 144

2 2 Ukraine 135

3 4 Turkey 111

4 8 Armenia 96

5 3 Russia 93

6 5 Bulgaria 87

7 9 Hungary 81

8 7 Greece 72

9 11 Bosnia 60

10 13 Romania 58

11 10 Moldova 56

12 18 Sweden 51

13 6 Belarus 47

14 17 Finland 41

15 19 Germany 40

16 12 Georgia 37

17 20 Spain 27

18 16 Latvia 25

19 23 U.K 19

20 15 Slovenia 17

21 21 Lithuania 16

22 14 Macedona 13

23 22 France 8

24 24 Ireland 0

 

This is how WESTERN, NORTHERN & SOUTHERN EUROPE voted. And somewhat unsurprisingly, the results are rather similar. It shows that Belarus and FYROMacedonia benefit most from political voting and Sweden and Armenia suffered most. And even then, it's not by much. There, proof that the Eastern Blocs don't do much to affect the overall result at the top.

 

 

Sorry if something similar has already been posted but I cba to look through all the threads. :)

Very useful, thanks for posting ^_^ I think something like this needs sending to the BBC or to national newspapers to dispel this stupid myth once and for all :manson:

I never put it down to block voting, its purely similar musical tastes. Plus we send such drivel that we deserve what we get. We need to send credible, renowned artists as do the other countries. That aside, I cant believe that that many people acutally liked that Ukrainian nonsense. :puke2:

Thanks for posting that RabbitFurCoat. ^_^ Interesting. :dance:

Me, too. :puke2:

 

But, I think that's just for one time, and then everybody will totally forget that song even existed. -_-

The iTunes chart begs to differ, it's currently pushing top ten and will almost certainly go top 40 in the official chart by Sunday :lol:

Latest on iTunes:

 

#12 United Kingdom

#13 Ukraine

#60 Russia

#70 Serbia

#72 Greece

#73 Finland

#80 Sweden

#94 France

#98 Georgia

 

I'm surprised Turkey aren't there, considering we have them our douze. :wacko:

Russia and Georgia moving up :dance:

 

And Turkey was just for the dancers/diaspora, so people wouldn't buy it :P

I'm getting horridly addicted to it now :(

 

DANZING! :dance:

David, is the Serbia download the English translation or the original Serbian language version? :unsure: Because if it's the latter that's one HELL of an achievement! :o

I'm getting horridly addicted to it now :(

 

Noooooo! :o :cry:

Serbian version. ^_^

Serbian version. ^_^

 

Wohoo! :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:

Everyone I asked at school agrees that Serbia was the deserved winner too. It's a stunning song.

Of course it is deserved. If there was any politics involved, the winners would have been about 3-4 changing every year. The fact that so different countries win shows that the most important thing people vote for is the song itself, regardless of what country's song it is. :)

Nice to hear that. :D

 

But still, we didn't get not even one point from the UK. :lol:

I totally agree Catherine. ^_^ :cheer:

I don't think it is only block voting but also immigrant voting. So therefore

the chart is not that useful. I mean there are so many immigrants from East

in West and and almost no-one vice versa. And these immigrants are very eager

voters for their home countries. I mean 12 points from Germany to Turkey every

year no matter what kinda c**p Turkey sends (See: last year). These kind of examples

can be found from almost every Western country, you just need to check from which

Eastern Eueropean country the most immigrants are in a certain Western coutry and you

can see the countries that will score high points.

I will not blame block voting either as my two votes went to Belarus and Bulgaria in the east...

 

If Germany, France or Spain ever send a song worthy of my vote then of course I will vote for it but what I would NEVER do is vote for a specific country

I think you're wrong mate, RFC's chart is very useful and telling... Don't blame the "immigrant " or Diasporic vote if the majority indigenous people are too fukkin' lazy to pick up a phone or are otherwise out on the town getting pissed up and not even watching the prog... That's a bit like not bothering to vote in an election and then whingeing about c**p the Govt is.... If you dont take part, then you've no right to moan about the results, simple as.....
