Jury gave 4 points to Lithuania Thats nice , thank-you
@ Martin Maillot, thank you for explaining how the votes worked! (Seem I had got it quite wrong.)
@ Y D Israel
[what is political in the israeli song???
it's a part of our life. if Norway will sing about the cold weather will it be ok?]
Well, I guess , Georgians were also singing about not wanting Put in? That wasnt about the weather in Tbilisi, was it?
[we sing about the most important ( and painful) thing in our life and we feel we must hope for another way./b]
You can not prove that your pain is more important or less tolerable than the pain of Georgians. They were disqualified for singing about politics.
[the most political thing is the anti israelis here who find the oppurtunity to say something against us. because of people like you we don't have big chances to win the contest because you vote politicaly. /b]
Common, Israel have already won this contest twice or three times I think. What should POrtugal complain about? I still find Israeli song as one of the best in terms of vocal presentation, melody etc. But that doesnt mean that the juri should be politically correct and show compassion to Israeli song when we had Patricia who didnt get a single point. Were Belgians afraid of being biased when voting for Patiricia? What kind of joke is this? Belgian born Hadise got 4 points easily just for being born in Belgium and Patricia who can give master class to ESC participants this year got 0 points after 20 years of brilliant career in Belgium and France?
and btw which one of that Belgium jurys are musician? I saw only Belgium television employmens and 3 jurnalists and one of the jurnalist is for sports ! I thing Belgium brake EBU rules?
guys we have to accept it !!! Jurys or Televoting are same fiasco, but with televoting each countrey can proof the results with no cheating, but with jurys NO !
Its sad how people still expect something different from the results its the same damm fiasco every year people get over it 
This is one of the beauties of eurovision

thanx belgium we love u !
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?? YOU CALL THEM PROFESSIONALS? THAT IS PLAIN JOKE. THIS IS A RIDICULOUS JURY. they didn't vote for songs. France should have gotten 12p from Belgium but the jury didn't give any points at all to Patricia as they wanted to give Hadise the points. Shame. fixed results.
Stupid belgian jury! What do they have in the ears?! Pffft..!
@ PurpleCow: We have more neighbours than any other freakin' country (except Russia maybe) , which has never helped us (just 1 win in 54 years)
@ Manuel
If the song is good you shouldn't care about neighbour voting.. I mean if Germany had an amazing song.. what if 9 countries didn't feel like neighbour voting? (Germany has 9 neighbours right?)
Then it's even more suprising...
I mean a big part of the song's appeal came from the text and all these "profesionals" should've been able to understand it.
Maybe they didn't want it to look like neighbour points, but still....

@ Manuel
No it can't be, because the jury was from the RBTF, so it was a Walloon jury.
Could it be that this year Flanders voted and because of the stupid language-conflict they ignored a French song?
BTW. Alexander Rybak is #1 in Sweden,Norway #2 in Finland,Denmark and #5 in Belgium (flanders)

No France or UK votes given by the Belgian jury!?
Are you sure they were professionals?
I heard that the RBTF also complained about their own jury not giving points to France.
where is France good lord?
They are francophone....

@ Martin
They don't need to vote (jury and televoters, but televoters usually like those songs becasue they are in similar or same language and those singers are popular in whole EX Yugoslavia), but still don't need to vote each other, as Belgium don't need to give France any points if don't wanna to (televoting and jury)!!
Lily Bel, I think you are intelligent and can read my explanations in my earlier posts... I could very well ask you this question: Why must FYROM, Serbia, Montenegro, Croatia, Bosnia Herzegovian & Slovenia vote for eachother REGARDLESS of the songs?
