Well, it's all over for another year and the Euro train will be heading off to the Fairytale Norway. It was a very clear win for young Alex & his fiddling (we like a good fiddle us Irish). He won by the most points ever with a whopping 16 countries giving him the douze points and blowing all the "Western Europe will never win again because all the Balkan/Eastern Bloc countries just vote for each other" critics out of the murky-with-cynicism water. Clearly everyone was voting for the song/performance they liked the best. I wonder how much difference the change in voting system (50% jury, 50% televoting) made...
So, we have to wait another year for more Eurovision fun & games. K says what's another year. And anyways, we now have AsiaVision to look forward to sometime in Oct. I'm predicting this will be the Winter Olympics to Eurovision's Summer Games. Perhaps not quite as good but enough to keep you going half way through the waiting period...
