Clearly the Croatian song was by far the best one there, as was reflected by the public vote. However, the juries decided otherwise, so really it's all about pushing an agenda. Just a confirmation of what was probably always the case. Or certainly recently. Can't be letting the public actually decide!

Juries are supposed to be less biased on non song related issues. Public votes are as much based on geography as anything else. However, Moldova giving Ukraine 12 suggests that juries have their issues too.

Finally a thread to rival (maybe even surpass) the Late Late Show thread...?

Your daily reminder that social media is not an accurate reflection of reality.  :-\

Because you can vote for Israel, you cannot vote against Israel.
This is it.  Those supporting Israel all voted for Israel.  Those against Israel either didn't vote or had 20 odd other options to vote for.
