Eurovision Song Contest (music or politics?)

Anyone saw the contest, im always thinking belgium is gonna do it well but they arent worth shite every year....
I think its all about the politics imo,
Good songs arent even judged right, and did you hear what an awfull track that won, it's a shame!
If one deserved to win, it was Malta or Estonia.

These are politics!

Very annoying:

-Belgium and Holland support eachother
-Germany and Holland support Israel
-Scandinavian countries give eachother points
-Greece would never let Turkye win
-Switzerland doent give Austria points
-Malta and Cyprus have the most awfull songs
-Ireland always wins
-The artist performing are forgotten the year after
-ABBA
-Everyone is singing in English nowadays
-Not enough female singers with small tops
-The score development after the actual singing is more interesting
-35 European countires but only 24 can participate


YUK

But we just cant stop watching it cant we

trance, techno, elektro, would be HUGE!

I watched it all and I can say - it sucks. Only politics..... All the countries vote for their neighbours and it's really sad. But the most annoying moment was when Slovenian appeared on the scene. What a fuck? Such moda ******s must be closed in the lunatic asylum. I'd like to kick them asses.
All the songs were shit, only some chicks were nice to look at. Especially Estonian chick. She was pretty nice

well all the songs are shite! They repeat themselves every year! There is never any innovation!!! It would be great if BT would write a track for eurovision (with his style of energetic breakz )

anyway I watched it yesterday only becuz the show was in Estonia (my home country ) and I wanted to see how did they do it.. The show was pretty good It was great to be able to watch the "tech-side" on the internet.. It was great to see how they did it

i voted for spain, but most of the songs sounded the same.

i don't completely agree with the whole contest being about politics, because how did malta get so many points? there weren't many neighbour countries that could vote and the island hasn't been involved in any major conflict that requires a friendly attitude towards them at the moment.
but then again, latvia got most of their 12 points by countries that are situated close to them on the map.

i think the points that each country gives, should be obtained through both televoting and a professional jury. but naturally, a jury can be composed of people who vote politically as well.

anyway, the contest was a bit disappointing, it's been a while since belgium had a good song up there, and we didn't get any further than 13th. place.

thanx to turkey for the 10 points, though!
