Well, another Eurovision is over. I thought the final on Saturday was great fun, despite the fact that there were not that many tracks to root for this year. Unlike previous years, it was impossible to predict the winner. Out of the ones that most people seem to be betting on (UK, France etc), Sweden was the one that did best. My absolute faveourite this year, the Swedish entry was in the lead for quite some time and finished in the third place (being bumped down from the second place at the very end).
So, the highlights for me were:
Sweden doing so well!
Finland and Iceland doing so badly!
The bloody ballads doing badly!
Spain being such a fun act!
Exciting voting and a great looking show!
The winning entry was a bit of a surprise, not to mention that godawful thing from Italy finishing in the second place! Ukraine, Greece and Georgia also did better than expected, while France (zzzzzzz) delivered one of their weakest entries in the last few years, and the UK performance didnt really manage to sell the song (the same can certainly be said for the otherwise excellent track from Hungary).
I voted for Sweden, Spain, Hungary and Germany. Below are the final results for the final, and both semifinals. And BTW: Australian voters voted the winning entry into the last place in their voting! They put Ireland on top...
