I think they could compromise with the voting. Have the 2013-15 system in the semi (then only good songs with diaspora can make it) then have the new voting in the final. It has faults, but it was gripping.

Why have I only just discovered this? This guy is so much better than Josh Dubovie.

You could have the final gripping with the accumulated jury votes second. But they want to give the illusion that the public is given more importance by putting that second, which is bullshit really. I'm not sure they even fool everyone with that anyway.

This would be awful. You'd guess every 12 points.

That's just rubbish. It's not just about the 12 points anyway. People should know what happened or didn't happen with their vote.

When only the 12s are being read, it makes it quite important. I think the televote by scorecard should be released immediately after though. It's still not on wiki for the semis etc.

Personally, I couldn't give one hoot if Serbia decided to give three points to Denmark or whatever, I'd much rather read them on screen. They should keep them on for a few more seconds though. It's a lot to take in.
And also, the whole 'announce the twelves of the public' thing? Justs no. As Damien said, it would just ruin it completely as it would make diaspora a lot more obvious than it already is. Not what the contest needs. Maybe if people would vote for their favourite song rather than their place of birth, it would be possible?

A bit of a random question, but does anyone think that any of the big 6 would have qualified if they participated in the semis?

I think Sweden, France and Italy would have got through. Spain is possible as well as they did okay with the juries and were midtable in most countries televotes.
UK and Germany would have been out I should think. |

Also people can see what happened to their vote. Each country puts on screen the results of the their televote (top 10 countries at least) |

I remember rooting hard for Josh as he was the only one who had a semblance of a voice live- It was a horrific selection though, what in earth were Aunty thinking! :O
![]() Person A - "what's our budget for Eurovision" Person B - "erm...well, eer y'see" Person A "TELL ME!!! "Person B - "£25" **knock on the door** Pete Waterman "did someone say £25?" Person B - "yes I did" Pete Waterman **shrugs** "i could do with that money, i've not had a hit since Steps split up" **cue random rant about how no radio station will play any of his songs** Person A - "you could write an amazing pop song for us?" Pete Waterman "i've got an old Big Fun reject from 1989" Person B - "ok, we'll accept your offer" Pete Waterman "great, i can use that £25 to buy a new train set" The rest is history. Literally, the rest!!!

![]() Also the semis are still split to divide neighbours too? That should in itself help, even though I think the problem does get hyped. If there is much of an influence then maybe the other people in these places could be assed to vote? Maybe they don't allow 20 votes or whatever it is from one line. And having those who are out of the final vote in the final isn't that necessary, at least the points given from those who are competing that night should be shown properly. It's the greed of the organisers that causes the problems, allowing so many places to vote in the final and allowing people to vote too many times on one line. |

Unsurprisingly Nina won Barbara Dex 2016. As for the future of the award itself, songfestival.be is going to take it over from 2017 onwards.

Hi everyone. Just a bit of promo here but I am needing a couple more voters in my 2015 revote game. So if you have not voted yet it would be great if you could do so

Eurovision is coming up on Points of View in 5 minutes on BBC1. Be interesting what they say.

First complaints on Points of Views was about the end of the contest programme missing on the iplayer.
Someone complaining about the UK song. Someone wanting a six week selection. One about withdrawal. A bit censored as the most common view of the contest is the diaspora/political voting which was not mentioned. The lack of reply towards both the selection and withdrawal requests is telling towards the BBC intentions. |

It had to have been a close thing between Nina and Jamie-Lee (my choice) surely. Once they got Nina out from the oversized packaging I thought her (lighthouse) dress was quite elegant.
