    I doubt it, Israel won twice. No way is it fixed if we won.

    Doesn't like all the Russian block vote for each other or some ? Infact everyone basically votes for near countries/countries they have common culture/same language countries.

    That's my conclusion as to why England's like never won basically.

    Or it could be because no one likes the English and vise versa? (I like the English, but they hate my country!)
    I honestly believe the Eurovision is all about politics, if Germany would want to kiss some Russian behind, they'd give it all their 12 points. (Random example!)

    It's Britain not england. But the only people who vote for us are Ireland and occasionally a scandinavian country.

    Violin and fiddle music is a part of Norwegian folk tradition.




    fiddle(Hardingfele) music has been a Norwegian tradition since the 17th Century and some of the greatest modern violinist's are Norwegians.

    Made me think of the Norwegian fiddle they use for the Rohan theme in LoTR...
    Anyway, I liked Norway best, though all the friends I was watching with disagreed! I think it would be interesting if the jury votes were applied after the general public vote...I'd like to see where the UK would have come if the system was the same as last year!

    Eurovision is rigged. Look at the semifinals. All eastern euro countries that got through.
