To add my two cents about Eurovision contest, my absolute favourite song was the one from Finland, I can't stop listening to it. I voted for it and many of my friends did but strangely Bulgaria (my country) gave no points to them, which I find very embarassing. I wonder how they counted them...
And what embarasses me more, is how sane people can vote for a song like the Ukrainian one? To say it was a complete crap would be an offend all the songs I have qualified as crap before. It is more than just that...
I liked also the song of Bulgaria (I really did, in the previous Eurovision our song was crap), and the video of DJBobo (not the song really, the video was awesome - Vampires are Alive). And the Irish song was really hobbitish, I liked it, it was cute I can't remember the Danish song, does someone has a link in handy?

By the way, I think the lands voted for their neighbours not because they love them so much (which is rather impossible, especially in Eastern Europe and on the Balkan), but because their culture and their likings are close to each other Which of course cannot explain why so many people voted for Ukraine...

This is how it looked on our own show, probably a bit different from the European. The movie quality is low, but the sound is alright and I know you can find better versions if you search a bit. (my favourit from the danish competition)

Here is their music video, not live.

Having listened to most of the songs, a few several times, I can´t say that I found any of the songs good on the whole. About a half of them did have some good idea in them, but like somebody already said, not enough effort.
