Televoting killed Malta!

Portugal changes a lot... been in 42 ESC and no wins. Chiara's time on ESC is over .. u said... but it is not. She will try again until she wins! Hope no foreign composer will write any song for Malta.

But dont u think that they get over 20 points (not to exxegerate) from neighbours? This would be about 20 les points and they would have been knocked off first place. Nearly everyone has neighbours so that would do same but few countries are neighbourless or only have 1 neighbour such as Malta, Ireland, Portugal, cyprus

an Sms or call costed EUR 0.70 (70 euro cents!!) so i voted none I would have voted Ukraine twice, Iceland and Azerbaijan

Norway and Iceland didn't get their placing because of the neighbouring. Though they could have gotten less points , but u cant say that they dont have neighbours: (Where they got 12 they could have gotten 10 from a neighbour or less) The group that gives lots of points to each other is : Norway,Iceland,Denmark,Estonia,Finland and Sweden Where Finland got 16 out of 22 points from these countries and Sweden got 25 of 33 This was an advantage for the semi-final 2 contestants cos ppl recognize more the songs because it had only been 2 days! Though performances from the first semi-final were not so fresh so it seems like u see it first time. This is a big disadvantage for the Big 4 , but the Big 4 will not qualify 99.9% of the times if they had to be in the semi-finals :rofl:

In 2002 we did not win for 12 points (if i remember well) and we didn't have crap (though the winners (Latvia) had) And in 1998 Chiara was still fresh cos it was her first time. I know she wasn't the best (obv) but she deserved at least 5 places higher. And to that someone that said that Russia would have won 10 times because of neighbours i was talking about : 1 Russia 1353 (1 Win) 2 Greece 1286 (1 Win) 3 Turkey 1152 (1 Win) 4 Ukraine 1026 (1 Win) 5 Norway 916 (1 Win) 6 Sweden 868 7 Bosnia and Herzegovina 810 8 Romania 686 9 Denmark 664 (1 Win) 10 Latvia 653 (1 Win) 11 Malta 563 12 Armenia 558 13 Estonia 550 (1 Win) 14 Spain 510 15 France 499 16 Croatia 496 17 Germany 463 18 United Kingdom 445 19 Finland 444 (1 Win) 20 Serbia 428 (1 Win) 21 Iceland 427 22 Israel 421 23 Serbia and Montenegro 400 24 Moldova 348 25 Azerbaijan 339 here's the top 25 of the decade (posted earlier from someone else) Why do u think the first is russia? russia shouldn't have gotten that high place! ?Though neighbours gave it some votes (few 12s but more 8s and more like that )

Wish the true results were more like this.. Ukraine and Finland both should have gotten a better place in the real ESC. Thoguh in this I excpected Azerbaijan better off!

Whose performances disappointed you? Sweden,Germany, Whose (unexpectedly) impressed you? Estonia,Albania Who did you think placed unfairly or surprisingly low? Malta,Spain And who exceeded your expectations on the final leaderboard? UK,Greece I forgot these! Who did you think placed unfairly or surprisingly low? Ireland,Ulraine, Sweden though disappointing performance, it still deserved better,

In 2002 It was not Chiara but Ira Losco... stupid moron! And anyways, how can we win when we had to win 2 times and due to unfairness we did not! We do not have any chance due to Neighbours and diaspora! And except for Chiara, we have noone good that tries to enter ESC ...

Well even in the simulator the order of the voting Azerbaijan was last.. What happened?

ur wrong. Cyprus gave 12 to Greece! and 0 to Turkey! Iceland should have won though!

Malta should quit ESC. Fairly : Malta should have won 2 ESC which are 2002 and 1998!

I Studied the votes a lot.. seeing some neighbouring and Malta shoul have gotten at least the 17th place. If Belgium gave points in the same way in the final (not only belgium but lots of more countries) Malta ould have gotten 10th place easily. Israel got less points from Belgium in the semi-final than Armenia, Iceland, Sweden, Portugal and Malta but votes changed and some countries went up and some went down (same performance though)

My top 4 were : Ukraine, finland, Ireland & Malta which all get a place which they didnt deserve!

Where can we see the points in the semi-finals? PM me when u know!
