Oh, and I'll be laughing when Britain comes last.

I watch more for the stats than for the music, since I'm not into pop/slow music anymore.
But it's a fun event for me when I have people to watch it with. The realization that there are millions of people watching at the same time, voting, having opinions..... I just love that.
I also love predicting what nations will vote.

Where did you hear that?
Paula and Ovi got third place overall last time, though, so I wouldn't be surprised.
I would laugh a lot, though. Romania would go into debt. The show would be a disaster.

I'm not sure if it will work like that, I believe they've changed the voting system now so that the peoples votes count more so than the judges. For example, Denmark didn't actually win the popular vote last year, but they won the "panellists" votes.

It will still be 50/50. Voters have 50% and judge has 50%

Damn, I got told they changed it and gave the voters a higher percentage.
They really need to change the system, it's the biggest criticism of Eurovision I have, who wants a bunch of judges dictating who wins? It goes against the whole ethos of Eurovision imo.

*ahem*
Now that we've got that obligatory comment out of the way... does anyone know where I can watch this in America? I usually get all my Eurovision from these threads.

Televoters can vote via the official app, telephone and/or SMS. The voting window opens after the last song has been performed, and ends 15 minutes later. These votes determine 50% of the outcome and are gathered by the EBU’s voting partner digame;
Professional juries are also required to vote. They determine 50% of the outcome.
The jury, which consists of five members (including a chairperson) is the same jury that voted in one of the Semi-Finals. They will watch live and rank all songs based on the second Dress Rehearsal, the so called Jury Final;

We won't. We probably have some fucking awful "musician" again, who has never touched an instrument in their life.
I hope Finland wins with a heavy metal band again
