It's all political. Terry Wogan told me so.
I mean, that Shakira wannabe from Portugal was probably the only non-depressing song in the first semi final, nice and upbeat. At least it wasn't a dreadful, wrist-slitting country song, which was eerily similar to a certain song by Sting. Yuck.

Do you really want to see an Austrian overrun Europe for the second time in less than century?

Let's hope Poland can sing their way to glory with their aesthetically pleasing butter churning.

Yes. Because it will piss the Russians, the Belarussians and the Armenians off. And anything that pisses them off deserves to win. Besides, her song is actually good. Portugal once again failed because it does what it does best: send a song that no one really likes.

The only song that didn't go through that deserved to was Israel.

Most of the posts I've been reading here are opinion. 'This song deserved to go through, this didn't, this song didn't because it was political' etc.
imo, people didn't vote for Israel so Israel didn't pass. When 1/3 of the songs don't pass, you can't say that Europe especially liked those songs. :P

Eh, of those that didn't qualify, I liked Ireland's the best.

Well it all comes down to personal tastes in the end. I'm sure there are people out there who genuinely think Georgia's entry was a quality act, or that Denmark's entry isn't just a poor man's Bruno Mars.

Anyway, the final is only six hours away. Get ready. Get hype.

I didn't mean to sound like a grammar nazi, I just made sure that was what you were saying. 'Entry' is also used a lot in Eurovision.

Hopefully you don't mean because of politics. If so, you're watching the wrong contest. >:I
I mean, this is about music. If Russia's song is the best, Russia deserves to win.

The UK broadcast had no booing but the booing in the semi-final was mentioned.
