ynhockey - the baltic states have the same trouble - half of estonia is russians, a lot also in latvia - otherwise russia wouldnt get 12 point from them or the other baltics either. germany has 3 million turks so germany is also giving automatic 8-10 points to turkey. when the german guy read the results you could see turkish flags behind him. so now its a contest reduced to how many expats, same religion or neighbors.
any greek song in the final already gets auto-12 points from cyprus for the past 20 years, and about 20 countries vote the same way giving 10-12 to the same 2-3 neighbors no matter how bad the songs are. If it continues the way it did this year with broken english, bad costumes and the same silly fireworks in every third song, next year will be the last time I watch this thing.
I read some countries have dropped out and you cant blame them, it used to be "80%-20%" songs vs. politics, now its "80%-20%" politics vs. costume party.
btw. I liked both france and bosnia-herz. songs but in both what ruined good songs was too much costumes.
