Didn't take Austria long to start failing at Eurovision again...at least I made a small fortune from them coming last. Sorry to our Austrian members.

So agree
I voted for the Czech Republic - I loved the song and the vocals were awesome - that is why I voted for them - was taken aback when the did not get through to the finals.
and then in the final I voted for Austria - I loved the MakeMakes - just cant see how they could have got a 0 ranking - there were singers that were out of key and uninteresting ahead of them - makes no sense.
kinda stunned at these results

Rise like a Phoenix. Fall like a Dodo. They could not fly.
I am sorry for you, Austria (and also for us not giving points to you, but we were not alone this time). I actually like the song, it's quality. But it's too retro and obviously out of ESC fashion. And Dodo's performance left something to be desired.
So sorry.

I could have understood a bad result. The staging was utterly boring, the movements of dominic during the last 20 seconds of the performance were awkward and didn't fit the song, and the makemakes didn't know how to present themselves in the public in a charming way. In the interviews I didn't get the impression they were really keen on performing or taking that as serious as they should have. You don't go to Eurovision like you have a gig in some little town behind the seventh mountain on the left. They had no charm whatsoever. So - a bad result could have been explained. BUT
No point at all? With a decent song we had? That is kind of disturbing.
But as http://www.aufrechtgehn.de/?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1 so rightly put it: We are the zeros of our time!

Well - I think many Austrians rejoice in the fact that the ORF delivered a great show (especially the opening with the fotos was one of the best things I've ever seen as an opener) so that milders the humiliation a bit. The second factor is, that Germany also didn't get any points, so shared sorrow is half the sorrow. And the usual "let's quit because we were treated so unfair"-voices will reappear, but they always are there if we don't win. And they mostly come from people that don't even care about the contest or know anything about.
As Conchita would say "We have no time for negativity". Hopefully next year we send a better song and are more lucky.
P.S (not to be taken completely seriously): As for the austrian national final: Public vote: Trackshittaz (last place). Internal Selection: Conchita Wurst (first place). Public vote: Makemakes (last place). So for next year an internal selection. Why not Zoe? ()

There are't enough words to describe my outrage on this result! This just wrong, infamous "null points" for The Makemakes (and Ann-Sophie) are probably one of the biggest missunderstandings in the history of ESC. I know someone has to come last, but no points?! What's wrong with you Europe?
I personally love this song, so I am completly pissed off.
I am glad guys are taking this with humour (video on facebook
)
I can only hope Austria will bounce back next year.

Yesterday I heard a statement of Edgar Böhm on austrian TV saying more or less, that Austria will try its best next year in Sweden. Of course, this is not official but rather a small talk-interview, but I think chances are good that we send somebody to Malmö, Stockholm, Göteborg or whatever city.
