Congratulations to Ukraine on their first place (although not a favorite of mine). Also congratulations to new commers Serbia and Montenegro on their second place. Also a congrats to Greece.

Yeah I didn't watch it either, sat outside and drank wine with friends instead...much more enjoyable if you know what I mean. But we did come in to see the voing results. Lol, you just can't help laughing at the politics behind the whole competition. And yes I agree with you, Lena should have sung in Swedish...."Det gör ont eller hur" :)

I saw most of it. If you view it as a novelty and ignor the actual competition, it is not terrible. A sort of 20 odd band sets. (of course the "disco dean" was just plain funny. No jab at Bosnia, just a bit dated for me.)

These guys would have gotten my vote....

Sakis Rouvas won a place in the Eurovision final for Greece
