What do you think?? Eurovision 2009 Winner Takes It To Norway‎...

Asked by panspermia (308points) May 17th, 2009

Many things have changed about the Eurovision Song Contest and the biggest alteration was the voting system.You know people were acting based on politics and gave the points to the neighbours. In spite of the reason for this voting, none of the countries are ashamed of giving higher votes to their allies BUT this time it was a little big wrong.=)Everybody loves him and his song

It was wrong? I can see why it appeals to many countries in the union and russia. It has beats that sounds east european, scandinavian violin strokes and a nice harmony. Good for them. The norwegian bastards wins again

I preferred when everyone sang in their own language, but maybe it’s more fair to do it in english.

I would like to see more entries of the north african countries, it’s only Israel and Morocco that has so far that I know of.

@wilhel1812 You are wrong.

It is the members of European Broadcasting Area, EBA – who compete – and that is why non-european countries like Israel and Lebanon can attend. The whole are or Maghreb, is eligible.

Staalesen's avatar

Awesomeness's avatar

Oh nice, how’d that happen?

I have to bite the sour apple, as we say in norway. He has apparently released a single during his Eurovision period. I haven’t heard it, but my sister says there has been commercials on TV and that they play it on the radio all the time.
