Eurovision Diary! 
It doesn’t really affect the results, but shouldn’t Slovenia’s combined score be 19? Also, on the public vote, you have Lithuania on the rankings twice, once at 9th place and once in the nul-pointer tie. I’m going to assume, based on the combined results, that Lithuania was the 9th place in the public vote, but I just thought you should be made aware.
Anyways, I’m surprised at the low public vote for Slovenia. I was always under the impression that it was widely regarded as a semi-finalist that should have qualified for the finals. I’m also surprised by the love the Bulgarian song got. I absolutely hate it (and, based on the results, it looks like I’m the sole reason why Bulgaria didn’t make it through to the next round, considering that I didn’t give it a single point). I know Toggie disagrees with me on that though, and it seems that MyED also does. xD
Yes umm, Slovenia’s combined it’s 17, as well as Monaco so it’s a tie! and in the Lithuanian situation, Estonia is the one with nul points 🙂 Thanks for noticing!
Both of us had math fails. 🙂 XD
Yes hahaha my maths have never been an important feature of me
About Slovenia & Bulgaria I am quite surprised as well, I like both and as what I’ve seen Slovenian entry is more popular than the Bulgarian one so that’s what surprised me 🙂
I am glad that you did not give a single point to Bulgaria because now my two favourite songs have made it. Thanks a lot! 😉 🙂
Btw, I think that Bulgaria 2005 is a nice song. I do not love it (but we both know someone who does besides MyED …) but I respect their credible effort and enjoy the song if I am in the right mood.
Oh? Who am I forgetting about?
Begins with ‘S’ and ends with ‘k’ … 🙂
Oh!
I had no idea that he liked Bulgaria 2005.
My two favurites have made it. Yay! And the songs that came 3rd and 4th are very good too imo. Excellent results. I only do not understand Iceland’s first place in the public poll. The song itself is quite interesting and nice enough if one happens to like this style of music but Selma was surprisingly weak live (out of breath), in particular compared to her very competent and energetic 1999 performance.
Oh Monaco in the Final, That’s Yay! 🙂 But I wanted Lithuania too…
