It has always been my observation that countries vote for eachother moreso because they are buddy buddy, rather than because of the performances. I'm not a very big fan of those kind of politics.

I've never been a big fan of Eurovision.. Not only do I not like the politics, but I don't think much of the music that comes out of it either.

I love it from the tacky songs to the political voting, The best thing about it is Terry Wogan's take on it. I cant wait. Its brilliant, I am an Eurovision addict!

Israel's song is the best song ever.

It's really good, and the singer is awesome

but obviously that's not what matters

fuck that contest.

I am kinda embarrassed by our entry, a brother and a sister entry but I still hope they got through to the final.

Suzy, they have changed the way its run now, In previous years if you didnt get enough points, you were relegated from the next years contest but this year, they have made those countries who didnt have enough points go into a semifinal contest which is run the same way the finals is, every country votes and then they see who will get through to the final.

People in Holland are talking about how high we could possibly end. "It's a good song, she's got an amazing voice and she has the looks (talking about the Dutch entry, Glennis Grace - My Impossible Dream)". Unfortunately it's indeed not about the music or what dress a female singer wears ... it's all about politics.
