  1. Thought Sweden was good but wasn’t in my Top 3 of Italy, Spain and Denmark. All 3 of those countries were criminally under-pointed IMHO.

    At least the grannies didn’t win though

  2. As Always – Great competition.

    However, not taking anything away from the winner, the voting sucked badly for the rest of the field with countries swapping votes with their mates as usual.

    Want some real respect Eurovision ? – fix the voting – somehow
