Ok, on demand (even Tim wanted me to write this post!), here’s my thoughts on the Eurovision final (very last post on the subject, I promise). I was not surprised at all to see Russia win, although I still think Dima was better in 2006 (or even t.A.T.u. in 2003). Ukraine was no surprise either, but I was quite amazed that Greece did so well. Their song didn’t do anything for me! I thought that there were other countries deserving that third position much more. Really happy about Norway placing fifth, although I still believe the song would have been better if Mira had performed it herself. I’m also a bit surprised that Armenia did so well (and also that Latvia scored as much as they did). Other than that, I think both Israel, Portugal and Iceland deserved a bit more. (Especially Portugal, which I loved until switched on telly text, and got the subtitles for it. It sounded so much more romantic in Portuguese.) Also, having a jury group voting in one song from each semi final was probably not the greatest idea. Poland and Sweden got lousy scores from the people voting in the final (surprise, surprise!). Just drop the embarrassment!
