LETS MAKE EUROVISION FAIR, FUN AND UNPREDICABLE AGAIN
SOMEBODY LETS EXPLAIN TO US WHY THE SCORE AT THE FIRST SEMI FINAL WAS:GREECE 156 (pos 1)
RUSSIA 135 (pos 3)My theory is simple.
We have Former Soviet Union Countries (12 of them in Eurovision Contest already)
12 out of the 45 countries voting is almost the 1/4Assuming that one of these countries will come with a well promoted and catchy song (e.g russia and ukraine this year) it will gather about 100 points out of the almost 280 (almost needed to win the competition)
Under these circumstances WHEN WILL A COUNTRY LIKE UK OR GERMANY OR FRANCE OR SPAIN WIN THE CONTEST AGAIN????
NEVER.....
Voting terms have to be re-established, eurovision can't continue like this....EUROVISION has to be FUN, UNPREDICTABLE, FAIR and INNOCENT AGAIN
THIS BLOG is explaining facts...but also searching for new approches and solutions concerning Fair Voting...
Russia's win this year was just an example of what we are about to experience in the following years if something doesnt change IMMEDIATELY....
The purpose of the video is to provoke such discussions...is to make you think about the future of the competition...

and before you ask me...the music behind the video is from a great GOTHIC METAL OPERA BAND called ''THERION

All true, but someone has to get money from SMS voting, don't you think?
