Do you think Serbia deserved to win the Eurovision song Contest, or is the voting just political?

It seemed all the Eastern European Countries were voting for each other and leaving the Western countries out.

Do you think Serbia deserved to win the Eurovision song Contest, or is the voting just political?
I didn't watch it last night - but I suspect a lot of the voting is political.
Reply:Thought Russia were robbed, I'm not a fan o eurovision, but my friends were visiting and wanted to watch it, I was surprised some of the songs were quite good. Thought Russia had it in the bag, so no I don't think Serbia should of won.





Eurovision has always been about the politics though, so its never going to be a fair competition.
Reply:It's ALWAYS been political! The winning song was crap!
Reply:Nobody can say, that the voting isn't political. But I think, this "politic votes" don't affect the top 10, except 2-3 countries. If the political votes were so important, then same country would win every year. I think, the best songs are in top 5. These countries were placed there not only with the political votes. But actually this is just a competition. Don't take it so serious.
Reply:they were good.


I agree with you on the last part of your question,and it's fixed if you ask me.
Reply:Voting should be done with the judges completely unaware of the scoring stats...If they didn't know who gave them points/or didn't give them points, then it wouldn't influence the voting...Once the singing is over, and the votes are counted (in each country), they should be put through so that they cannot "alter" their choice - as I'm sure this must happen - you scratch my back, etc etc...





Imagine all those living here in Britain - bet they didn't phone vote for us - but will see them in the dole queue nonetheless!!
Reply:I don't think Serbia deserved to win at all. When the show was on, I thought that it was one of the dullest worst songs in the whole contest. I don't know if others would agree with me in saying this, but yes it IS political voting and no one prob wants to vote for us because of the war in iraq, BUT even tho we were mainly snubbed by eastern european countries, a lot of them all decided to sing in ENGLISH! That's just totally ironic I think! Our language is used but they don't want to vote for us because of political reasons. Don't matter if no one agrees with that statement, just my opinion.
Reply:i did`nt watch it,,
Reply:I am not from eastern Europe, or even Europe, and I think the Serbian entry was really a great entry. It's true there wwere other great entries, but someone has to be THE winner and Serbia was really good.
Reply:Serbia was at least better than Ukraine...and it was not another clone of eurovision...why should all participants have long legs and be blonde and sexy?
Reply:I don't think Serbia's song was the best, but at least she could sing in tune, which is more than can be said for many of the entries.


It does seem odd that all these Balkan/Baltic/Russian states fought bitterly for independence, and now they're all voting for each other!
Reply:yeah it's all to do with politics and neighbouring countries and all that. Ireland, France and the UK were in the bottom 4!! And i actually thought France had a decent entry! I didn't think Serbia was fantastic like, it was alright..... i was really surprised Denmark and Isreal didn't even get through to the final though - that was ridiculous!! they were excellent eurovision songs, esp Denmark's entry, I really thought that would go far in the final!!





*ahem* may i also add that we Irish were NOT happy that we got NO points from the UK!!!!


we're not voting 4 ye next year!!!
Reply:Personally I thought most of the entries were totally unmemorable. For me the best song was from Latvia, even though I didn't understand it! It is a showcase for the rest of a hugely expanded Europe. Not sure it even qualifies for the title, contest, anymore. But it was an amusing evening with friends, we all chose our favourites and none of us chose Scootch!
Reply:the Eastern E. Country voters understood the lyrics. and, yes, they deserved to win. I understand the lyrics, by the way.
Reply:SERBIA SUCKS!!!
