Well that just isn't true. San Marino was the only country besides Ireland to give the UK points and they used a back-up jury. Also from the 3-4 back-up jury votes that have been made public, the UK has scored quite highly, as did Sweden. Very little mention of Russia.

 

All's I'm saying, is that if I was on a jury, I wouldn't have given the UK anything, because I thought there were *at least* 12 better songs/performances in the contest. I don't see why any other juries would, just because the 4 that were revealed did. How do we know the other 30+ juries gave us anything? It could easily be that the 4 that were revealed gave the UK points, and none of the others did, and we'd barely be successful with 4-5 jury points.

 

But I hope you're right and I'm wrong. I hope the juries are used 75/25, and they all give the UK points and we come top 10. If we deserve it.

 

Out of interest, who were the other 4, and what did their juries give us? I don't think I've seen it?

this is true, although Hold On Be Strong is in my opinion, the best Western song sent to Eurovision in the noughties

 

Nah - the French entries in 2001 and 2002 were both better.

 

2001:

 

2002:

2001 maybe, 2002 wasn't anywhere near as good

France 2001 is a sublime song, absolutely amazing. :heart:
