Who decide? How abou millions of votes. Honey, millions of votes came for Italy, and minority screwed the will of the majority.
(the adorable, amazing and talented Belgian angel who I already dearly love the hell out of and who I wish a great-great future for that I'll be here to follow)
Gonna be interesting to see what Eurovision 2016 has in store. 
).Well well well. So much crap going on about the "amazing-glorious-fantastic-blahblah" Italy not winning.
Tell ya what. As long as juries keep songs like that off the Eurovisions winners map, THEY SHOULD STAY. Holy Mans, i'm so thankful, they are the best.
Are you guys kidding me? If it wasn't for the juries we'd have Finland in the final. Televoters put Poland THIRD in the semi? Whathaheck is that? Amazingly weak song, atrocious live vocals, cheesy background, a story that was shown to make people vote because frankly there's nothing else to vote for. What if she was just sitting on a piano? Would she get through? We all know the answer. Unfortunately, juries couldn't keep it away from the final, but i appreciate the effort.
Thank you, dear juries, you've done a lot of good stuff this year. I totally love the current voting system and i'm gonna support it all the way. No, it's not perfect but there's no such thing as perfect voting system and by far it's the best we've had. Diell with that.
Now, Mans - you are the God of live performance, so professional, so cute, so charming.
Terrific staging, terrific enegry, terrific package. Modern, catchy, radio-friendly song. It doesn't get better than that. That's so good for the Eurovision reputation, this year modern and catchy did extremely well (Sweden, Belgium, Latvia, Australia), on the other hand some dated empty souless stuff did well too (Italy), which damages Top-10 a bit for me along with dated cheese like Serbia but that's ok, these didn't win as it's supposed to be.
Perfect, just perfect. I'm happy for Georgia, Montenegro (they should hire Zeljko to write songs every year, just get someone more cute than Knez to sing them
The sad stuff: Slovenia didn't do that well blowing my express bet off (i hate them for that! lol) but ah well, i still think that's a decent result considering the running order and bad camera work. Love that song to bits, would want to have it in Top-10 instead of Serbia.
Germany and Austria with zero points?? Hell no, that's not possible( I think nobody deserved zero points this year, it was a strong line up. I guess they just got lost among all the favorites this year...pity but it's a competition after all.
Azerbaijan deserved a worse result with their cringeworthy show. The rest i'm totally fine with.
As for the contest itself: the stage was magnificent, one of my favorite stages ever. But i have to point out that camera work, sound and interval acts were bad/bad/boring. There was no effort in the intervals at all, the grand final looked like Conchita's new album presentation.
But overall i'm pleased and happy. Thank you again, Eurovision and see ya next year)

Well, that's your opinion. Most of Europe don't share your opinion obviously!
This is what I think that votes should be counted:
I take as sample the Italian votes
Jury votes (ranks)
12 p Norway
10 p Sweden
8 p Australia
7 p Belgium
6 p Latvia
5 p Israel
4 p Cyprus
3 p Russia
2 p Estonia
1 p United Kingdom
Televotes:
12 p Albania
10 p Romania
8 p Russia
7 p Poland
6 p Serbia
5 p Israel
4 p Georgia
3 p Sweden
2 p Spain
1 p Belgium
If we collect the votes this would be the results:
Sweden 10+3 = 13/2 = 6.5
Albania 0 + 12 = 12/2 = 6
Norway 12 + 0 = 12/2 = 6
Russia 3 + 8 = 11/2 =5.5
Romania 0 + 10 = 10/2 = 5
Israel 5 +5 = 10/2 = 5
Belgium 7 + 1 = 8/2 = 4
Australia 8 + 0 = 8/2 = 4
Poland 0 + 7 = 7/2 =3.5
Serbia 0 + 6 = 6/2 = 3
---------------------------------
Latvia 6 + 0 = 6/2 = 3
Georgia 0 + 4 = 4/2 =2
Cyprus 4 +0 = 4/2 =2
Spain 0 +2 = 2/2 = 1
Estonia 2 + 0 = 2/1 =1
United Kingdom 1 +0 = 1/2 = 0.5
Based on this and have on mind that in case of tie the televoters points will count this is how Italy votes should have counted:
12 p Sweden
10 p Albania
8 p Norway
7 p Russia
6 p Romania
5 p Israel
4 p Belgium
3 p Australia
2 p Poland
1 p Serbia
I really think this way of counting combined votes would have been more fair than the actual system of counting. Based on this I'll try to calculate all the votes and see how the outcome will be
