Ukraine wins! Unless Russia somehow pulls a surprise win, but I don't think enough points are left for it to win.

I don't trust any poll that has Russia get perfect scores these days :P

Motherfuck.
Well, the votes were certainly interesting this year. I wouldn't have expected Ukraine to place anywhere near first, but that's what made it exciting! The new voting system wasn't a bad idea, after all.

Looks like the phone vote was the geography based one, with Russia leading it with a lot of votes. Oh and the UK 10 went to Poland and our 12 to Lithuania.
Still props to Ukraine.

Our 12 points went to Bulgaria, and our 10 to France.

Oh and I just looked up Ukraine's song, holy shit is that a fuck Russia song, it's about Stalin's deportation of the Crimean Tatars, so it both stealthily claims Crimea and has Russia (as the leader of the USSR) as the bad guy, holy shit Putin must be pissed.

Yes, its glorious.

Wait, it was a political song? Darn, I had to miss the rest of the contest, due to both TV's being occupied by my parents.
Anyway, I wonder if Ukraine will have the money to host it, considering the shambles they're still in...
At home, not giving a fuck, after the failures in these recent years.

So, let me get this straight.
Spain decides to participate in Eurovision with a song that completely abandons its native language, singing fully in English. It gets a disastrous result, placing at twenty-something.
Ukraine participates in the contest with a song that is largely sung in a local minority language. It wins the contest.
What have we learned?!

That one day, all European nations will sing in their native languages and/or dialects.
And then Ireland will win it again.
Or something.

That Europe's collective desire to scream "FUCK RUSSIA" overcomes all?

For the second time in a row, to boot.
Just a harmless giant from a foreign land.
I'm not sure whats worse
Being last 2 times in a row
or getting the 2nd place 2 times in a row because you pissed off everyone.

Ok, to be fair, this year Russia stayed in the third place, but only because Australia was a popular favourite. But yeah, still, it's gotta be frustrating for them.
Also, I've checked the languages the songs were sung in. All songs had some English in it, unlike last year's edition. So, it's not quite the change that was being talked above.

So thoughts on the new scoring system? It's doesn't do a very good job hiding who's winning.
