Re: SWEDEN WINS 2015 EUROVISION SONG CONTEST

so jan olaf sands decides again..oops I mean Europe decides again to give Sweden a victory....people who booed Polina should be ashamed of theirselves..you cannot blame an innocent person and a brilliant singer for the alleged crimes of her government..this is a fun contest NOT the debating table at the UN...I have nothing against Sweden but I don't like this song and I have always been of the opinion that any kind of background distraction albeit dancing,fireworks or computer graphics are there for one reason only..because the song is weak and wouldn't stand out enough without the gimmicks...I much preferred the Estonian and montenegran songs..and when are the so called big 5 members gonna wake up (apart from Italy) and realise that the rest of the countries only want them there for the money they put in..would love to see the changes in the budget if Germany UK Spain and france all withdrew for a few years

to me Netherlands have and always will be one of the best countries in Eurovision..along with over the years,Portugal Finland Cyprus Denmark...I know its progression as they say but im old fashioned and not really liking all these far flung countries being able to enter

this type of block voting will spoil the contest in time...ones like Netherlands (even with last 2 years placings) Portugal malta Ireland Iceland etc will just stop entering because 9 times from 10 they are there just to fill out the numbers of countries and occasionally will "make" it to the final to keep them happy then be over looked for another 5-10 years so newer ones like Armenia Azerbaijan Georgia Romania can be in the limelight...and anyone tell why always Sweden and Greece qualify??? and please don't say its always because the quality of the song..Portugal Netherlands Czech rep and Moldova were far far better than those this year

I am really disappointed with most of the finalists this year...did not think Albania Armenia Romania Georgia Azerbaijan hungary Greece Sweden Lithuania Latvia or Belgium deserved to qualify..should have been Iceland Portugal Netherlands Switzerland malta Denmark Moldova Ireland Czech rep and finland instead..Sweden and Greece ALWAYS overrated....hurry up and come back turkey Croatia bosnia Monaco and Luxemburg...hope the winner tonight comes from one of these...Italy Montenegro Estonia Australia or uk
