The biggest drama of this year is new voting system. For the first time Azerbaijan and Armenia should give each other at least 1 point2
In fact,
gave 1 point to in 2009, due to Arash's popularity! In fact,
ah right
but i think it was because of televoters, not jury 2009 should have won

I've never really read too much into the running order, although it is certainly a factor. I am however surprised to see France, Lithuania, Holland, UK and Ireland in the draw positions they are. We'll find out in a few hours though what's gonna happen.
I do think they need to go back to a random draw. My complaint isn't that it is corrupt or biased this year (I don't see any evidence that myself) but that it opens up another avenue of criticism and controversy (which is the last thing the ESC needs), is open to corruption in the future and has little in the way of transparency.
Wherever Denmark were drawn there always were going to be accusations of the draw being fixed. I've no problem with their position. Somebody had to 18th. Best thing to do for those who are upset about this is too hope EBU see's sense and reverts to a random draw next year, I really hope they do personally. (Perhaps a massive letter writing campaign or online petition might help).

Their best entry ever. It is such a shame it didn't win. I still watch at it on youtube. Ell & Nikki are nothing compared with it.

Exactly. It would've made a better winner than Ell & Nikki though in 2011!

Almost all winners are better than Ell/Nikki
Only Estonia 2001, Russia 2008 and Ireland 1994 are worse... at least from 1980 onwards!
Well as i much as i m angry at svt for giving bad draws for France and Spain and then killing their chances when they didn't know their potential and such a good draw between slow songs to Denmark, i can't blâme for giving good draws to all the semis winners
