Dont pretend you didnt! I know you did!

I think Andy deserved a lot more points... and that Russian skater was just bizarre!

I'm sick of that political voting! I vote to withdraw Britain from the show and get as many other countries as possible to withdraw untill they do something about that political voting!

I had to come in when I read the title. Big Grin I didn't actually watch it I never do. I did see the last 10 mins of voting as I was in someone's house. The only act I saw was the one that ahem...won. I totally agree with you Bombiee its just a joke now I don't know why the UK bother entering. I too vote to take us out of it. There was a time ( when I was young ) that this contest was fair but not any more. I didn't hear his song but poor Andy coming last is not good. FrownHeck I could have sung for Russia and won Eekand you wouldn't want to hear me sing Shake Head

Great minds think alike Bomb...i was thinking about coming on and making a poll about this.

I watched it and im with you. The entire voting throughout was diabolical. Terry Wogan was right when he said that this had been one of our best songs for ages...yea granted its not the best but in my opinion it was definately better then last years (perhaps we could have toned it down on the disco lights? Laugh)

And im sorry but it was a hell of a lot better then that Bosnia&('whats its face) song and Spain! Those songs were completely rubbish and i reckon they must have either broken out of a mental asylum or been completely high on drugs to actually go on stage and go through that Disappointed. Also, Spain actually got 'booed' for there song!

If the voting was fair, then we would have been higher then them 2 mentioned above and higher then alot of other countries...but its not, its all political voting and thats why, the more we continue on going into this pointless competition, the longer we are going to continue to sit at the bottom of the table and propping it up!

Also, can i say...poor Poland! I thought there song was good and didn't deserve to help prop the table up! No-one likes Poland now and the reason to that is because Poland likes us! - safe to say they are in the same boat as us(?)

What gets me as well...they come to our country..they live in our country and work in our country or if they don't work (well ya'know how it all goes!) But they dont like us or can't be bothered to vote for us! Roll Eyes

With that part of the rant out the way, all in all, personally, i didn't like the Russia song and think that Ukraine should have won it (or another certain one but can't remember what it was).

I cant remember most of it now but there were a few that i liked - one of them was Latvias song (Pirates of the sea) - i thought that was groovy Big Grin

The way Terry Wogan was talking at the end of the Eurovision, it sounds like we won't be going for it next year. And i don't blame us, it's a pointless excercise - We could have the best song in the world, but we wouldn't get no-where for it.

Andy Abraham did great on Saturday night, he sung his heart out, he enjoyed himself, he had a good song despite the media saying its our worst entry ever(But they know diddly squat anyway!), it wasn't one of the worst song of the night - and thats all he could do.

So yes, i think that we should no longer enter the Eurovision song contest. We should take a bow, point our 2 fingers (whatever way tickles ya fancy Wink) and leave it as that Big Grin

No, you don't get it, thats why I'm telling you. You think you get it, which isn't the same as actually getting it. Get it? - Cool

Totally, I liked the Urkraine entry and the Armenia and the Greek one... but no! Everyone voted for Russia!

That Spanish one was such a joke! It was so bad is was unbelievable. As was the the one by something like Azerbigjan(?) yet it got big points!

When it became clear that once again the winner was going to be a result of tactical voting I expected us to get some points from France or Belgium for saving their sorry asses in WW2...but again nooo!

I think we should start the NATO song contest or have one inside Britain with entries from all teh different areas... that would be better!

I wish Wogan's commentary was broadcast to the entire arena! And I did hear some booing when all the Balkan countries gave russia 12 points, was rather pleased! Big Grin

Yeah if Scotland, England, Ireland and Wales were put against eachother they will probably gang up on England or someone..

But maybe it'd work if you cut the country into even smaller bits, like Strathclyde, Highland, London etc.. . yeeeeah
