That was the perfect Eurovision Song Contest, and the best I think in many, many years - probably since Katrina won it, but that's bias. Norway winning was totally desrved, because it was such an awesome song, and everyone who says otherwise can FIAD. Yes, there was still bloc voting, but nowhere near as much. The UK getting 5th (and having 4th taken in the last two votes) was brilliant, and Jade deserved it. That top five was probably the best top five ever, because I legitimately think that any of those five could have won.
The West, I believe, took about six of the top 10 spots, which helps the fight against the Eastern bloc. I feel slightly bad for the Israeli entry, which was also one of my faves but didn't get much recognition. And HA! for cocky Sakis getting fucked over in the end. Oh, and the weird-ass French woman did surprisingly well, but then again, Graham did point out that she's kind of massive in parts of Europe, so it's more understandable. Side-note: this is the first time Ukraine haven't finished second since 2006, and the first time they've been out of the top 10 since their disaster in 2005.
On Graham, I thought he was much, much more entertaining than Terry when it came to the actual voting part - Terry always seemed like he wanted to fall asleep (albeit maybe that was helped by the fact that our performance made you want to fall asleep) at that point, and Graham actually seemed engaged.
So <3 for Eurovision, and the fact that it really was a MUSIC competition this year.
