I switched the eurovison contest off when the voting was half way through i couldnt watch such rigged crap.How the hell can Spain get 12 points 4 that drivvle? of course it came from Andora suprise suprise!!! All the baltic countries are voting for one another. Iceland gives Denmark 12 points every yr, Denmark gives Iceland 12 points , Norway 10, its all got too political now. Its not a song contest anymore and I reckon UK should stop entering,we have not got a prayer in winning.The people of europe dont care if its a great song or a rubbish song , they just vote for thier neighbouring countries.

It's quite sad isn't it? That performance from Russia was just not right! Actually could say that about most of them. My boyfriend wanted Ukraine to win coz he fancied the singer. Bosnia gave a cool performance. But my favourite was France. Sounded a bit like Jarvis Cocker and was something I would listen to out of my own choice. As for GB - BORING!!!

As long as the UK is up the US's bottom politically, we'll continue to get "nil points" from the rest of Europe.

It is now beyond a joke.

The ex Yugoslavia parts all vote for each other, scandinavian countries vote for each other, Spain and Portugal always 12 points each, Russia do well now, with so many smaller countries bordering them, all ex USSR bits.

We are surrounded by water, but at least Ireland look after us.

Many of the countries used to be part of the same country anyway...so it's like us voting for wales. The UK puts so much money into it and we never have a fair chance of winning- i say good on Terry Wogan for pointing it out.
