Agreed. The French entry was the coolest. I believe the guy is associated with Daft Punk.
A couple of the big winners had an American connection. The song from Russia was produced by Timbaland. And Greece? Kalomira was born and raised in New York City.
I was also surprised the Swiss entry never made it past the semi finals. |
Nothing surprises me anymore. The Eurovision is a huge joke, most songs are way below average top40 tracks. Especially after introducing televoting and a huge number of east-european countries who only give 12 point to their neighbours regardless how awful the song was. It should be a Country competition so connections to other countries IMO should not be allowed. How stupid is it that a huge country as Russia needs a Hungarian violin player or a producer from another country? Like there aren't any in Russia. Some east-european countries now give eachother 12 point where a few years ago when they were still one country they even couldn't agree sending just one singer/group to represent them. Years ago also neighbour countries gave eachother many points, but then it also had to do with the native language of a country.
To me Italy has won, for not taking part at this charade for some years.
Anyone who thinks otherwise should read the wiki information especially "Political and national voting": Eurovision Song Contest
