    The ‘professional’ jury’s murdered Norway’s chances of winning.

    They always do that to these kind of songs. Same way the Oscars kill off any comedy film's chance of winning.

    Not saying Norway was a comedy entry, I loved it.:D

    Was this touched on earlier in the thread...With Australia and the other non-European countries now participating why is it still called the Eurovision?

    Either way - WTF?????
    Isis' Caliphate we're considering entering also but funds are a bit tight this year as there's very little fiscal space in their programme for government due to external shocks.

    Dark times for the UK.

    Next thing you know, you’ll be telling me Boris Johnson will be the next Prime Minister.

    Marty was so funny forecasting what way the professional votes would go i.e. countries voting for their neighbours. Most of the time he was on the nail.

    The public vote seems to count for more. They voted for a real song rather than the gimmicky ones.

    I did love the Australian one though. The tune was very catchy, but not very singable for ordinary voices. Loved the "no gravity effect" on the swaying poles.

    Sweden won the Jury vote win 239
    Norway won the Televote with 291

    Norway were shafted by the Juries!

    Looks like we came last overall on 16 points - jointly with the UK.

    IMO, this is just sad, really really sad...how many of you people are commenting on this thread when there are so many other more real and disturbing issues that are deserving of the interest you show in a totally stupid unimportant arbitrary 'song 'contest'...

    The Lovely Girls is more interesting....
