I find it absolutely hilarious that we got 12 points from Poland. And 7(?) from Ireland. That was pretty funny too.

Yeah... an attempt to be nice, I guess =/

 Nah. our singer was Polish. They pretty much voted for themselves. Also there's a lot of Lithuanians in Ireland. If anyone votes for us, it means there's a lot of Lithuanian immigrants in that country. When Georgia(?) gave points to Lithuania, my father said "Oh, so it pays off to live in Georgia now too?". I laughed.

Edit: Also, you can't deny the sexiness of shiny underwear.

Oh, man... never mind, then.  Sorry about that.  Kinda sad...

More like terribly depressing.

What time-line is that over, tomas?

[Leafsnail]

Yeah, I wasn't so fond of Azerbaijan.

And Hungary in 22nd with 0 points from Poland?  Wow.  That's a shock.  To me, anyway.

Well, the Eastern European countries are especially infamous for bloc voting.

Generally they get over twice as many points as "unaligned" nations like Germany/UK/France.

[scriver]

They're not more prone to it that anyone else, there's just more of them. Not to mention that people in different clusters/group tend to share musical scenes and thus like the sameish stuff. Especially smaller countries.

[Leafsnail]

Well, yeah.  The fact that they do it better than everyone else is what makes them "infamous" .

Eurovision is fun. Really trashy pop songs sung by cute guys dresses like red power rangers is a good night.

Meganecro to point out the best song from Eurovision 2013:
I give you the contestant from Romania.

And Greece sent their typical "oh god we can't afford to win" entry. They nearly won.

All I know about this is my Mom was utterly disgusted By Serbia's song and Costumes.

[Pnx]

Is... Romania seriously using Dracula as their contestant?

Didn't actually see that. I only saw a little bit of the final, there's only so much of this shit you can take in one go.
But I'll check. Hmmm. Oh.
I don't have a problem with this at all.

[Graknorke]

All I know about Eurovision is that it is awful and the UK puts in an effort to come last every time.

[olemars]

Perhaps. Also note the giant, blood-filled condoms suspended in the background. They're easy to miss first time around.

This year, Poland did well.
