From what I have seen so far in UK press today, ESC hasn't had such a bad review (compared to what I was expecting). One website I saw has praised some of the songs and the usual "humiliation entertainment" descriptions haven't been used. Eurovision 2010 was described as "sane" for once by UK media, and this is great news.
As for UK, some places and media reports have admitted that UK song wasn't good enough and that it was embarassing to watch.
And Mickey..., that article from The Times did make me laugh. I wonder what the said today

Guess, not. 
I guess after Germany won Austria and Czechia migth return as well Liechtenstein who'll debut. Some countries that were thinking of withdrawing might decide to stay.

It's like buying the direct final ticket with loads of money totally bullsh*t :evil: I can accept that the previous Big 4 gave a lot to the Eurovision Song Contest and they brought to the contest till now with increasing level of quality and popularity. It doesn't make any sense to me... :roll:

Impact of Germany's victory?
- Perhaps we'll have more contemporary music in next Eurovision (which is great)
- Big4 might regain its interest in Eurovision
- Maybe new/old countries will participate again (Austria, Monaco, Andorra, Czech, Montenegro).
I think it's good for future of the ESC that Germany won with this song.

No we can't get rid of the Big 4 rules
It 's about money, Brodcaster pay a lot and to have good rating theirs country they need to have an entry in the final and a shot at victory.
I know it's unfair and i honestly wish we could change it but we can't.
And i repeat myself every year saying that if France, Germany, Spain & Uk don't give that much money a lot of 'small' countries wouldn't be able to afford the participation fee.
And now that Germany won & that all of them know they can win without people hearing twice their song because of the semi i think the big 4 rules is there for a very long time!

(Personally, I thought Lena's live performance was not worthy of being the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010. A Top 5 finish would've been warranted, but not a victory with a margin of 60+ points)manialf said:I for one think it will boost the contests credibility in the West. Caus How can Germany win if the East votes only in Blocks???
That particular BS argument (Eastern Europe only votes for Eastern Europe) was shot to smithereens yesterday. Just look at the points Germany received:
12: Estonia, Latvia, Slovakia
10: Albania, Lithuania, Slovenia, Turkey (though Turkey usually doesn't have a particular bias when it comes to voting)
8: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Macedonia, Serbia
And those are just the countries which gave Germany 8-12 points! Geez, I guess the Eastern European countries just magically forgot to only vote for each other again, just like last time when Norway won. Last year they had "Well, Rybak is Belorussian!" as an excuse. What's their excuse this time? "Well, she has black hair!"?
And take a look at the Top 10:
Winner: Germany
2nd: Turkey
3rd: Romania
4th: Denmark
5th: Azerbaijan
6th: Belgium
7th: Armenia
8th: Greece
9th: Georgia
10th: Ukraine
The Top 8 contains 4 Western European (geo-politically speaking) countries, with a Western European country as the winner of the ESC 2010! I guess the East just forgot to be all diaspory and neighborvoty! I mean, it's not like how if the West just starts sending in good entries, they'll magically start doing well!
So get off the whambulance, Western Europe (especially Sweden, whose inhabitants whine about how the East only votes for the East and how Sweden should leave the contest or they should let the Eastern European countries have the ESC whilst the Western European ones start their own contest)! It's become perfectly clear that if you send in a good entry, you will get far, possibly win the entire contest!
So just try harder.

I don't like Lena song, but I still find those joking coments so silly and so unworthy.FallenAngelII said:
She won because she got points from almost all countries and very high points from some. That plain that simple, end of story.
