Depending on my mood I find the blatant politicking/nepotism either infuriating or part of the kitsch charm of the whole thing. Greece for example could spend 3 minutes with one guy banging a spoon on a saucepan while another strangled a cat, and Cyprus would still give them 12 points.
Edit: fun fact - this was apparently the first ESC ever without a single entry in French - the French entry was sung in Breton.

- ajsnigrutin 4y agoWell yeah... but usually the scandinavian countries gave eachother high points, and balkan countries did the same, eastern bloc, etc, so they were on similar high ground (while countries like UK didn't get any, but noone cared), and the winner basically depended on the few other countries, and 3, 4, 5 an 6 points from the balkan/scandinavian/... countries. What happened yesterday was kinda predictable with all the "1 vote" = "1 thought and prayer" logic,but kinda ruined the voting and the end-results-suspense for me. I also didn't really like the song, also because it's not something I can see layed on non-ukranian radio stations, but yeah... politics.
