I think France with the diva Patricia Kaas, platine album is Russia, was stunning and the audience did applaude 4 times during the song, pitty she was in third position to sing, shame no one live didn't say anything about gay eurovision fan were in jail because of homophobia and the gay have no right to demonstrate.. my web site: www.andrics.com

Best ESC for years, some good songs, nothing too strange....Iceland should have won. UK did alright but strong competition for a change.

fairytale what a load of crap

Well I thought Jade held back a little to start with and no wonder with a bow in the face! However she did a great performance with a mountain of pressure on her shoulders. The song was great considering Andrew had to write to order, but he can write better, imagine she had sung " any dream"? There were several good songs, but to be honest, the only one that stuck in my mind was the daft " balkan girls " song and ours. We had a really good chance, but the voting is still political. Fit young boy for our entry next year, then all the teeny boppers will vote for us!

The staging of the show was amazing. It was a good night's entertainment. Some beautiful bodies on display too. Musically, there were only a couple of songs which were instantly likeable. Norway was one of them. I loved the hareem that was Armenia. That was my favourite if you get a chance to listen.

I think this was the best contest ever, and jade was fantastic.
They tried hard and it is lovely to see the new European youth at work. I think France and Germany were not very creative,

Music was half decent,the words I am afraid were utter rubbish "no meaning".
I think it just proves how low the ESC as gone,thankgod I never wasted my evening watching this rubbish.
Britains got talent now there's a show for the evening viewing its got it all comedy,songs,great natural talented people some not so.
But its great to watch.

Jade was amazing, her song is really touching and definitely she deserves being in higher places. At least I still can't understand how so ordinary, mediocre perfomance of Turkey could take the 4th place...
Anyway, I'm proud of Russia, Moscow, Olympisky and the show!!!!!!!!!! I just cant imagine what sum of money Moscow allocated to organise this contest!!! Hope Europe now have different image of Russia. Come to visit us, we'll always welcome you warmly to our city!)))))))))))

Yahoo! Music User..................the voice of reason and common sense?.............Don't think so.
Why don't you go share your lunatic ravings out on the street with real people, to their faces instead of being so 'big' and angry and beligerant on here behind your keyboard??
Probably because in reality you're nothing more than a scrawny little no-hoper, a 'Billy no mates', just a spineless, frustarted walking irritation, who'd get a slap within a minute of opening your gob and blurting your dribble.
Go and have a little lie down on the motorway and do us all a favour, there's a good lad ;-)

Our song was better than in previous years, but Jade a good singer?? No way! her voice is yoneless and she was out of tune on more than one occasion. I also think there's something slightly creepy about the way ALW rhapsodizes about her.

39. rojda -
the result was shocking! ok the song is peaceful and dont deserve to come first. May be this is the message to the world that we need Fairy Tale...
