I thought Russia were robbed. Clearly the best song, but got voted down for political reasons. Voting was a disaster. Portugal, Estonia and Georgia had to come back at the end of the show, cos their string and tin can failed (only funny thing that voice over man said.) England came nowhere - AGAIN! What I don't get, is that Britain is overflowing with talented singers/groups. Why not send Adele?!
Laura says we deliberately lose cos we can't afford to host it.
Graham Norton was clearly not interested this year. He had no knowledge of geography and kept saying stupid things.

I just don't get Eurovision.
It costs UK TV Licence payer around £500k a year.
The acts the BBC choose to represent us are not even second rate. I have seen better acts on cruise liners and this year's act... well... was it karaoke?
While the spectacle of stage performance and the glitter and glamour may be entertaining I am sure that the hosting costs of around £25m could be better spent elsewhere.
But the worst of it is the humiliation for the UK. They hate us in Europe and yet we degrade ourselves by joining in this spectacle.
So congratulations to the BBC on getting us 5 points. It was good value for money at £100k a point.
