I find that whole audience vote very surprising, I wonder how much manipulation by societies and state have been used to generate such scores.
So many giving 12 and 10 points.

I wish there were rules that each country should at least sing half the song in the official language of that country.
I used to like hearing other languages and seeing the outfits from other countries.

Looks like Greta got herself arrested:
Do you have a link to the rest of that pls?
Interesting to see Albania, a majority Muslim country, give Israel 10 points.

I don't find it particularly surprising. Israel has strong support around the world, and the fracas over her entry will have motivated supporters to vote. You can't vote against a country, so other countries get a spread of support based on people who like one thing or another, whereas the support is concentrated.

It's almost as if people voted based on the performance rather then the politics...or they really just don't care that much.

Are you trying to say that common sense prevailed?

Yes but also whilst nobody likes seeing what's happening over there and disagree with how heavy handed Israel is they recognise why it's happening and would support their governments if something like that happened to them. Just because anti Israel mob makes a lot noise it doesn't mean they enjoy popular support.
we'd hopefully have an open press that would accurately convey to us the retribution

So, the U.K. entry was about cottaging and the set was meant to represent the cleanest gents on Hampstead Heath?

I am thinking of googling what cottaging means but I guess I might not like what I see.

It was far too raunchy this year.

Gentlemen who meet likeminded gentlemen in public lavatories for sexy fun times.
RIP George Michael
Yeah it was a solidarity vote by the silent majority.

When you are advocating gay sexy time on prime time TV don't be surprised when pretty much all of conservative Europe fail to vote for you. Finland was basically the same.
I am sure the demographic there loved it though.
