Post 19,,, How big is that chip on your shoulder? Just enjoy it for what it was... and allow people have an opinion!

well done jade for getting in to the top 5 it's the best we have ever done in a long time. I don't think Norway should have won it the song was crap and the young lad that was sining for them should just stick to playing the violin and not singing .

65. DEREK W -
another carve up....all the scandinavian.balkan,east european states voted buddy buddy....the winner despite its fans did not deserve it....it is pointless us enterering.....

I think Norway shouldn't of won, he wasn't playing the violin. England was better

I think Norway or iceland deserved to win but there were a lot of good entrys this year and i think uk finished a bit higher than they should have as our song wasnt very good and i have no idea how turkey got into the top 5 as it was an awful song. I also thought Armenia & russia were very good as well.

i think the norway guy was really gd at the violin and the song was a bit different but just not his singing!

Well done Norway, 2,3, and 4 were very good too. The U.K.'s entry would suit a Sir Andrew's musical rather than a eurovision song contest.

Post nr 8 !!!!This guy dont have scariest eyebrows!!!!! and aswell....look is not the most important.this boy is fantastic,and so cute and talented. you must be just a sad person,and having a sad life,and have no talent at all!!!!!!!!!!!!

71. geoffp -
bah who cares its a load of rubbish never watched it and never vwill

As for Norway playing violin without strings and uk being only to play live music on stage, I belive that the rules of EBU are that no instruments are to be played live on stage but they are there just for the show, the instruments are all played on play-back, only vocals are allowed live. I may be wrong but that was said by the commentator during the semi- final

jade deserved better, norway was good,but not to win, and what utter rubbish the german entry, what was that all about,it was nearly porn

I like the song of Iceland most, and that of Norway was fantastic too. The kid's got talent and the choreography was great. Jade's voice was one of the best this Eurovision (it stood out) , but this song not impressive in my opinion - kind of typical Walt Disney movie song. The songs of Germany, Sweden and Malta surely deserved a better place! But at least as opposed to other years, a deserving winner got the trophy!

75. flowerewe83 -
Post nr 3.Yes i did see that Jade almost got pooked in the face hahahaha and then would be pook a face instead of poker face hahaha

76. Roman -
WELL done Norway Fully Deserved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ribak will be next star

77. SARAH -
Glad we came 5th its a boost for us, as for norway wat can i say blah blah blah blah blah blah, this competion has gone down hill ova the years & realy needs sorting out there is some much garbage on there now, plz do something & get the excitement back into it, ive watched it since the sixtys & its no way as good now as it was back then.

78. Paul -
you were fab xxx

79. Marylou -
Number 64, u are out of order!! I'm not from Britian but even if u spoke this way about any other country u would still be out of order. If u don;t like them, just go and chat on another site and leave us Eurovision fans to get on eith it

Norway deserved to win, Iceland, Azeibajan and Turkey also deserved a good placing, but after that there were others who could have got better placing, such as Portugal, Sweden, Israel and Spain. Malta also gave a good performance, but it must be that nowadays no one likes that kind of elegant dress and sweet music. Political issues are also involved like Ireland voted to the UK being neighbours. Anyway the show was fantastic. Weldone Russia. Hope Norway will do the same next year.
