Seems politics and national identity (or neighborly love)still plays a big part in "Euro"vision. Both Croatia and Bosnia gave their highest points to Serbia (as did Slovenia & Montenegro) while Serbia voted for Russia. Personally I think Ukraine's win was a bit of a sympathy vote, as I doubt I will be listening to that song on the radio out of choice. I wonder what happened to all the outlandishness of Eurvision of yesteryear? Was more like Stars in you Eyes or similar then quirkiness one was used to with this show. Was the UK tying to cater to European teeniboppers? Interesting to see Ukraine gave most points to Russia.
