There was massive political voting in much of the jury voting. I thought jury voting was supposed to make it fairer?

I'm glad it was Israel rather than Sweden or Austria. I'd rather a song wins for being weird rather than the country being politically correct.

it was sh***, virtually all of it, israel was a novelty song, sweden, thank god that dross didnt win, a fat michael jackson only white, and 20 years out of date.
hungry was aimed at shocking the viewers with an aldi version done to death heavy rock, it was putrid.
cyprus was a dancing idiot, shakira wannabe, and yet again years out of date.

The SWP though. Guys. Why aren't we talking about the Socialist Workers' Party and their Sharia Rap courts? Clearly you all are supporters if you're choosing to talk about Eurovision instead.

Next year should be fun .... being held in Israel !

Two bob politicians calling for boycotts, artists refusing to take part, security issues, Orthodox Jews complaining about the amount of female flesh on view..... it wouldn't surprise me if the Israeli's declined to host the event, there have been several precedents for this...

It was the usual drivel, full of terrible acts and atrocious dialogue.......but as usual I watched it from start to finish with my twitter feed open all the way through it.

I don't think anyone on there, or anyone at all (apart from the Cypriot girl) was taking it remotely seriously. Its just a good laugh. Probably why we are so **** at it these days to be honest.

It's to do with Israel Broadcasting Authority being part of The European Broadcasting Union which it joined in 1973
