Besides the Scandinavian countries Malta has REALLY benefitted the most from this current jury system haven't they :eek:

what year in a row we see that Europe doesn't like (majority) :mt: song, but it still qualifies to the final and still gets top10 from juries...

Tell me about Azerbaijani jury

23 Sweden (odd favorite, 7th in televoting) 0 points
24 Austria (odd favoritte, 3rd in televoting) 0 points
25 Armenia (odd favorite + political enemy) 0 points

They are so clever! Nobody can think that they are not playing fairly...no way! :?
Very interesting as well. I guess they considered themselves as probable winners.

For Armenia, it's particularly bad because most of the other top nations actually gave their main rivals top points (Austria gave 12 to Armenia in fact). If we imagine Armenia winning with a few points difference to Austria, the vote would be scrutinized a lot more - and they would hopefully receive a huge backlash. But it wouldn't change the fact that they would have won the competition based on a cheating jury. I don't know why they would even want to win in those circumstances.

To all those haters of Azerbaijan -take a look what EBU did to us this year. They were blocking the tele-voting for Azerbaijan in almost all the countries. Azerbaijan is 24th with 100% tele-vote. Now look at the tele-voting only results for each country on eurovision.tv - In Belgium - Azerbaijan is 26th in tele voting. There are many Turks and Azeris living in Belgium- I would never ever believe that we were last in tele-voting, at least 21st, 22nd...In Hungary, Estonia, Germany, Greece we were ranked 25th in tele-voting, again the same thing-many Azeris living there. I can give you lot of examples..In almost all the countries with 100 tele voting Azerbaijan was between 20-26 in tele-voting, it is just impossible taking into account our diaspora and Turks living in Europe. I think we should submit an official complaint to EBU to give an explanation of how it is possible. I see it this way: We were ranked quite high in 100 % jury voting, that happened on Friday- EBU saw the result and wanted to 'punish' us. Unless the EBU gives us explanation, we should leave the contest where results are being fixed

Are you serious? File a complaint because your didn't get your expected diaspora votes? Diaspora voting is the curse of Eurovision that the EBU wants to get ride of, (hence the changes to the voting system in the past years), so I don't give your complaint much chance. You just have to send in a quality song that will get votes on it's on merit, like the rest of us.

the entry may not be as good as our previous ones...but our diaspora would normally vote for us...and if they did we would at least be in top 15...there's something not normal about votes we got

There is also something wrong with the results from your own jury

Both our juries cannot be totally independent

What i'm afraid if Conchita won is next year in Vienna we'll be served with every countries sending drags singing outdated ballad :(, i think TCL is a better winner though their song is more boring.

i'm not happy.

entire world will be buzzing about "bearded lady who won esc", not about a winning song, not about songs at all.

sure, it's great for the bearded lady herself but imo, it's bad for esc.

i loved conchita's performance, the song is nice and all but it shouldn't have won.

Conchita has become everone's sweetheart along the way and she also had a decent song and these things bring Austria to the first place. That, I can understand.

Sanna was overhyped since the beginning and she managed to ride the hype to the third place. That, I can understand too.

What I can't understand is how an anonymous, completely middle-of-the-road song like the one of Common Linnets, so much that I can't even remember it, got the second place. It's a total mystery to me. xshrug

Wow... The jury of Armenia and Azerbaijan really fucked it up!! How can we call this a professional jury?????? This is just ridiculous. It is obvious that the system needs to change, but the question is howwww?

Yay, my fave wins for the second time in three years (Loreen being the other one)! :D I don't understand all the hate, her song was very nice, she sang great and she had a great message with her look, I even cried a bit after her performance! Straight people enjoyed this, too, I'm sure. Very happy two very underrated countries did so well (:at: & :nl:). Pleased with :az:'s fail, too. :lol: Not happy about :pl: placing so low, but I can live with it. ;) See you in :at:! :mrgreen:
