I kind of like Molitva, although none of the Baltic states are keen in it. They gave a total of 3 points to the song while some other places were 12ing the hell out of it.
My favorites:
1. Georgia
2. Hungary
3. Russia

I would've loved it if Hungary could have kept their second position from the semis. But they still did good.

I love serbia's song! i initially didn't like it as much... but it has definitely grown on me. i think it was a pretty powerful song

i also enjoyed Ukraine's song -- it was cute!

there was quite a few songs that i initially thought weren't so good until i heard it again -- like Georgia. the first time I was paying attention to her dress and the body art, the second time i really got into the song. Bulgaria's song was another one that i liked the more i listened to it. when i first heard the "he!" bits i thought "what the?!"

and i loved turkey's song! that guy kinda reminds me of JT. I had hoped to see a bit of real belly dancing from his dancers though... but then i heard that they were british :D

Oh thats a low blow XD

Yeah Turkey was one of the best. The guy was hilarious and it worked quite well.

It was the worse songfestival I've ever seen... (IMO)

It was the worst Eurovision ever, I was thourghully dissapointed which was a shame 'cos I look forward anually to the eurovision I even go as far as to celebrate it and make it a family event because I enjoy europop so much. haha... I wanted Russia to win (I knew the UK wouldn't and we deserved so much more. But hey, it's all political it has nothing to do with the music and hasn't in a LONG time) I'm happy they came third, I called in to vote for Russia, Moldova and Finland. My three favourite songs of the night. ^^;

Loved it! I voted for Ukraine and Armenia. Liked the French entry too - very entertaining! I was surprised that we didn't do better though.

mi|kshake~

The french entry!? Dont get me started ...



But yeah, my vote went to the finland

really like:
Russia SEREBRO - Song #1
Serbia Marija ŠERIFOVIĆ - Molitva
Bulgaria Elitsa TODOROVA & Stoyan YANKOULOV- Water
Georgia Sopho - Visionary Dream
Moldova Natalia BARBU - Fight

really laughed but like:
Ukraine Verka SERDUCHKA - Dancing Lasha Tumbai
Romania TODOMONDO - Liubi, Liubi, I Love You

also good:
Belarus Koldun - Work Your Magic
Montenegro Stevan FADDY - Ajde Kroči
Hungary Magdi RÚZSA - Unsubstantial Blues
Slovenia Alenka GOTAR - Cvet Z Juga
Finland Hanna PAKARINEN - Leave Me Alone

Finland all the way, although they are/were all rubbish.

me too! i'll add:
Switzerland - DJ Bobo - Vampires are Alive (loved their outfits!)
Poland - The Jet Set - Time to Party (reminded me a lot of BEP, but i loved it!)

DJ Bobo was vey famous with his Chihuahua and others - I was surprised that he wasn't in final O_o

I didn't like DJ bobo. That song was neither funny neither good. It wasn't even catchy, just for children up to 9 years old. Verka was indeed funny, when I watch this performance smile comes on my face itself xD

Serbia's song was ok but not the best my fav are -

Turkey
Greece
Bulgaria
Finland
Georgia and
Ukraine - I liked the music but it made me laugh alot ^^

Oh and yeah one of Turkey's bellydancers is British and the host Mikko was it? totally hot!! ^^ but I didn't like that lady in the pink dress not funny at all...that dance she did was pretty stupid - who was she anyway? not a Eurovision fan - part of the act I guess...

Scooch's song has grown on me. They didn't deserve to win or anything but this is one of the best pieces of cheesy bubblegum pop I've heard in a long time.
Ba ba ba ba da da.

Chandrachan, Terry wogan [Funniest Eurovisionn voice over you'll ever hear] said how all the bellydancers were english

She's Krisse Salminen, a famous stand-up comedienne in Finland. And yes, it was all part of the act.

I'd heard a lot about Terry Wogan so I searched YouTube to see if they had clips of him commenting. I wish I'd found out what he said during the postcard promos, because some of his comments right before a performance started were pretty amusing.

oh I must have heard wrong then :) Terry was funny to listen too :P

Oh I see - I thought see was part of the act seeing how the camera was sometimes right close to her when they panned acrosss the audience and she was smiling right into it :)

This was IMO one of the worst Eurovisions. I myself like well made music (one of the reason I like soundtracks) and mainly rock songs (especially The Offspring), that was the reason I even started listening to Ayu not so long ago (Evolution in a combo video for KoF, the ir was just discovering the other songs, and I liked em very much). I was dissapointed with the level after last year with Lordi (I thenked God for that :D ). The only songs I liked were from the semi final:
-Czech Republic (kinda old-school rock)
-Andora (I don't quite like american-teen-pop-punk-rock, but it was better than the rest)
-Poland (and no, this year they were quite deacent IMO in this show. Usually I'm ashamed of our entries, and I don't like Jet Sets wannabe-american gangsta rap/RnB style, it's to much unoriginal).
End of rant.
