  Here is an interesting illustration of the always mentioned “bloc voting” where geographical and cultural neighbors tend to vote for each other. The Scandinavians vote for one another, former Warsaw Pact countries vote for Russia, former Yugoslavian countries (Serbia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Croatia, Macedonia, Montenegro and Slovenia) vote for each other, Eastern Europe generally doesn’t vote for the Western countries, countries with a lot of emigrants vote for the home countries, like Germany for Turkey and so on.
What do you think about that?

That will be hard to get away..But well a country can't only win by getting votes from it's neighbour country, some other countries have to give points as well.
It might also be so that Eastern european people have a different music taste than the Western european country usually, I don't know..
That emigrants from one country votes for their country isn't weird, that's why you aren't allowed to vote for your own country cause then people would usually only vote for their own country, but if the people live in another country than what they are from, that's hard to stop….But I surely doubt only the votes from the emigrants would be enough to give 12 points, some other people probably have to vote too.

As I remember Germany gives to Turkey 12 points many years running even though the turkish performance is in native language and too boring. It`s simply clear what kind of germans are keen on such music. I believe we might see the same result this year.

I suppose so. I like when countries dare to sing in their native language, though….

I agree with jonti!
Some of them sing in bad English which is the worst choice if you ask me.
I don't think we need to understand a song, if it's good, we will feel it.
I don't think Turkish songs are boring.. on the contrary - especially when they sing in Turkish - although I don't understand a word

I don`t write that Turkish is boring I mean Turkey is always high evaluated by Germany even though the song is not good.
Anyway I prefer to understand the sence that`s why I don`t countenance the singing in the native languages.

Yea. If they can't even sing in English I think they should use their own language, and yea I agree, if you can understand the feeling of the song it's good enough.
Yea I don't think Turkish songs are boring either, well it depends but they have had some quite good songs, the one that won 2003 was one of the best that year if I don't remember completely wrong.

I did and I agree with it only partly. I think the neighbours vote for each other not because the blocks support each others but the nearby countries are much more familiar with their culture including artists and singers. For example Norwegians know better swedish music performers than somebody from Israel or Spain and they will pay more attention to the known face even though it`s worse.
