On a serious note (well, as serious as you can be with such a ridiculous "competition"), I wonder if this parochial voting has just started since they allowed the public to vote via phone or sms. Was it always a public vote or did it used to be a panel of "experts" that would decide back in the days of Abba and My Lovely Horse? I reckon if you looked at the year-on-year voting most countries would be shown voting for the same neighbours every year, regardless of the song.

I think it's worse since the telephone voting.
Ahh well
, I guess UK/Germany/France/Ireland/Spain will never win it ever again.

this is rich coming from the guy who seems to habitually drink on his own in front of a computer and floods this forum with pics from a site that prides itself in hosting the most sick & violent fucked up porn on the web. at 8am in the GMT.

get over it. eurovision is shit. the music is bad. the songs suck. well fucking done for noticing. NO ONE gets ANY cred for pointing that out. None-the-less, we'll see an identical thread next year. Mark my words.

I think even when it used to be a 'panel of experts' the voting was quite geographically motivated, but its much worse / better now (however you want to look at it). i dont actually watch the songs, i just watch the voting..its great fun trying to get the 8,10,12 in the right order..you know iceland will favour denmark, macedonia will choose albania then serbia / bosnia etc..

I didn't know that. I lost any respect I may have had for Timbaland when that stupid Apologize track came out.

Agreed.
