Literally. Exactly the same voting pattern in Ireland. Public voted Polish entry into first place, but their jury panel put them last. And a whole bunch of other countries too, even 'liberal/feminist' ones, albeit the contrast was a bit less extreme. See more here (http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/eurovision-2014-voting-controversy-after-uk-jury-revealed-to-place-conchita-first--but-british-public-voted-for-donatan--cleo-9351644.html). From the article: "A Eurovision spokesman denied this was evidence of a cultural disconnection between the popular winner and that favoured by the official judges " Seems like some countries get screwed by the jury compared to the popular vote. I checked the last couple years for Russia. In 2014, tele-vote: 6th, jury: 13th. In 2013, tele-vote: 5th, jury: 10th. In 2012, tele-vote: 2nd (just a few points behind the winner), jury: 11th. Eurovision is a people's contest. And it was that way up until just a few years ago when they changed the rules to include the jury. F#CK THE JURY. P.S. Shouldn't this be under Media and Entertainment? | ||

If you just let it be popular voting 2 things will happen: 1. Groups of people will create networks and push a "vote for x" because of reasons completely devoid of a musical dimension (It was interesting in Denmark when Dancing with the Stars had Allan Simonsen and a shits and giggles campaign of voting him to the final. It made the program change rules because he was so terrible and the campaign completely screwed the concept of voting for the best dancer.). 2. Things will get filled with even more sexual innuation and other not suitable for kids gimmickry to catch more votes. It is bad today, but you ain't seen nothing yet! | ||

Let the most popular song win and don't go by some arbitrary measure like technique. Eurovision has always been as much about the show as the actual singing, and as long as it has the big audience it has serious songwriters won't opt out because some sense of pride. I don't think the jury ranks the songs arbitrarily. The main difference is that they invest much more into the songs than the average voter does, plus, all of them are involved in the music industry, so they have more refined tastes on average, which generally means they are more open-minded to styles that may not be that mainstream. The jury's voting is how the general public would vote, if they devoted as much time to the songs, and were as knowledgeable about music as the jury is. Well, that's what the jury strives for, and obviously that's not always what you get, but since they incorporated the jury I have always agreed a bit more with the jury than with the televoters, despite its flaws. | ||

I wasn't cheering hard for them but *what place was it actually* this 5-7 place is ok, i was expecting us to get 20+th because of politics ez. Well, they have already won, when they were childs, so i guess, they weren't sad :D Except for being boo'ed after singing and every point given. Danes are boring, stay classy if you can't approve other points of view. Hungary imo deserved way more, as well as Suisse and Slovenia. I was a bit surprised by Netherlands in top-2 even after checking bookmaker's ratings but Austria on 1st place, ohwell. But in general, it was very high-level competition this time, not like usually with 1-2 good songs and 24 boring, i was pleasantly surprised. And also, this time there weren't many pauses, so everything was smooth, thank God. And well, popular voting is good because people choose by themselves. Might be good, if jury can choose one set of points and people can vote for other, might solve the problem.

Well, Bilan had to win in 2006 already, but back in the days, people prefered Lordi holy shit. And in 2008 there were Edwin Marton and Plyushenko, and he hadn't sung bad as well. Germany, haha. Lena was op but Armenia was just robbed in 2010. It was probably contest with my favourite song from Russia. | ||
