from my German perspective it was somewhat depressing, the second time in three years we had a song that was really fine with me musically (Max Mutzke in 2004 and Country this year) and didn't win anything... that Estland, Lithuania and Latvia support each other I understand, but that Bosnia, Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia etc give all their votes to each other I can't accept - if they like each other that much why didn't they stay together... (Musically Bosnia which was 2nd or 3rd in the end was not great but somehow okay with me while Crotia which ended up in the top 10 (?) was incredibly crappy)
if you've seen it in the 60s the last time you don't know it, as it has fundamentally changed its flavour since in 2004 all those (20 or so) new countries joined in - much more flutes and drums, and naked flesh since then - and they don't seem to write songs in these countries but rather ballet performances where someone is singing... Lithuanians were great, I found Spain a lot better than their 20th rank...
i shouldn't take it that serious...
