May 24, 200817 yr How come the UK was 25th - last - with its 14 Votes, yet Germany was 23rd with its 14, & Poland was 24th with its 14? Shouldn't they all be 23rd=? Can someone explain it to me? - Thanks.
May 24, 200817 yr Wtf at them getting 12 from Bulgaria?! That was bizarre... One of the members of No Angels (Lucy) is Bulgarian. She is currently acting as a judge on the local Music Idol (which the infamous Ken Lee performer came from). The Russian song won and I don't think I'm really bothered. 1 month from now I'm sure almost nobody will remember of it. Ukraine's position is well deserved. Their song is the epiphany of the whole modern Eurovision contest - catchy, danceble, cheesy pop song performed by e beautiful woman with a great voice. Greeks third place was no surprise either. Can't say I enjoy the song but I'm happy for the Greeks. They seem to be more and more obsessed with Eurovision with every year.
May 24, 200817 yr The change to the rules I would make is to disallow 8 10 and 12 point votes from each country. The rest of the points fairly well represent the artistic merit of the songs
May 24, 200817 yr I think it's just alphabetical, to fil 25 places. If you want to think of it was 23=, you can :D

Can someone explain it to me? - Thanks. Germany got a 12 so is ranked higher than Poland (highest vote a 10?) and the UK (highest vote an 8). The same principle sees Poland ranked higher than the UK
May 24, 200817 yr so we came last because of Ireland lol who were the ones that gave Poland a 10 if i remember rightly......

May 24, 200817 yr im disappointed with icelands and swedens result, armenia and norway were th ebest 2 songs in the top 5 for me
May 24, 200817 yr Actually this is the first time we had 25 countries in the final, its usually 24. Russia are safely thru to the final next year along with the big 4, hopefully the big 4 will get extended to the big 5, Malta would love to pay something towards it, apparently
May 24, 200817 yr Im utterly shocked :blink: What a dreadful song won. Sweden, Norway....such good songs. Destroyed by the rubbish political voting. I totally dont blame Terry Wogan for wanting to throw in the towel. While its great fun to watch this competion and the talent from around Europe the voting really REALLY has GOT to be sorted out :angry: Charlotte you rule :cheer:

Russia are safely thru to the final next year along with the big 4, hopefully the big 4 will get extended to the big 5, Malta would love to pay something towards it, apparently It used to be inconsistent. We had 26 in 2003! :o Had 25 in 1997 and 1998 iirc too.
May 24, 200817 yr Firstly, I really do not think we deserved to come last. 14 points for a performance which was worth at least... 20. Secondly, Iceland did not do nearly as well as the bummers on here kept making out, and nor did Sweden :o I'm happy for Norway though :wub:
May 24, 200817 yr i though the uk were c**p but didnt deserve last countries like spain and croatai deserved last place,poalnd i didnt expect todo so badly either but i had a feeling germany would do bad
May 24, 200817 yr Terrible winner song :puke2: , better is Ukrain or Greece :heart: :heart: , Georgia have beautiful song :wub: , Bosna-Herzegovina veryy crazy song :w00t: , I'm not realy happy, Croatia is only 21st, but this song is :puke2:
May 24, 200817 yr Can I just ask for an explanation of B&H's song? I didn't have the lyrics on screen at that point, but I presume they had something to do with the knitting brides & washing line?? :huh:
