And we make exactly the same mistakes.

For some reason the Scandis seem to call it right. That or their bloc voting.

....I always guessed that "bloc voting" is an overused argument by the losers, confirmed whenever an outsider wins! :)

People just want to have a good time and a party with good music and an inviting performance....and yes, artists who are able to connect with the audience, that's it.

The problem is that they rarely do. It much depends on the Scandi bloc, the francophone bloc, the Slavic blocs. And Greece & Cyprus rarely miss an opportunity to give each other douze points.

There's actually a guy with a doctorate in Eurovision who's crunched the numbers.

And of course there was last year's corruption scandal involving several countries including Poland.

We could have a germanic bloc! But then the English need to vote for the german entry and vice versa...

*runs*

the English

Can the Scots, Welsh and Northern Irish not vote then?

If anything, the UK tends to get votes from our oldest ally, Portugal, plus Ireland, Cyprus, Israel, Belgium, Poland. And sometimes Germany votes for us and we for them.

Some talk of a conspiracy this year to give it to Sweden (which explains the judges giving it soooo many points) because they want the 50th anniversary of Abba's victory to also be in Sweden...

Personally Sweden was good, but top five good, not number one good.
