“Mother of Eurovision”, Lys Assia, announced the start of voting… She said Bulgaria instead of Belgrade but she is 82 so, we can’t criticize her!
She won the first Eurovision in 1956 for Switzerland with song Refrain
It’s quite interesting that Bane choose Ani Lorak, of all contestants, to give her an apple!
They brought the envelops in a basket with apples and started announcing:
Ukraine
Croatia
Albania
Iceland
Georgia
Denmark
Sweden
Latvia
And first good news – Turkey but… then a long long break! Many contestants that probably deserved to qualify still hadn’t been listed…
They ask the audience who they think is in the last envelope… And the audience very clearly agrees with me – Portugal! Portugal!
I think there were much better songs than Romanian and Turkish. I prefer these once: Ukraine,Grece,Iceland,Bulgaria,Armenia.I wish them good luck!!!
turkey and israel are the best! I’m fan of them but they can’t deserve their degree
Yea Sweden put out Macedonia :/ The Macedonian song was lot better than some that did reach the final….and Hungary at last place? wtf?
Switzerland was also better than many that reached the final.
Well the final was good until the voting….
The Joker for the 2nd semi final was…Sweden!!!

*Indicated the jury’s choice.
How can countries vote in portugal for 2nd place and then put him in 13th? This is a scandal. Behind musics like Latvia, seems like europe has not got culture.
I think Portugal should quit the contest or start sending joke songs like Ireland and Spain, no one seems to appreciate a quality song so why try hard when u can send a piece of s**t for people vote?
I start to think countries with few neighbours like Portugal will never win independently of the song.
Even Serbia was much better than Armenia n Greece.
The voting in the semifinals was fair i think, but in the final was a joke.
