I thought Zoli looked hot, however the colours of his clothes were ugly in my opinion, not the clothes themselves.

OMG not good list, I think Rybak should be on the 3rd place because only Zoli and Gypsi.cz were worse than him! And about Loboda, I hate her song, but her outfit was very good and I don't know why she is on 6th place? :S And Kejsi Tola especialy!

How ignorant some people are :O

Both Turkey and Azerbaijan are secular muslim countries but i suppose some people would not know that as they prefer to live in a bubble isolated from the rest of the world ;)

SAD :(

ITS VERY SAD THE LENGTHS PEOPLE GO TO
TO GET A REACTION FROM OTHERS :(

I was surprised by Zoli winning this award. I thought he looked hot.

I was amazed that Yohanna's dress was described as being designed in Los Angeles. It really did look like a cheap br. idesmaid's dress, the sort a bride chooses for her attendants to ensure she's the prettiest not them. It was so dated and wishy washy.

But it was nothing compared to the green gimp suit of Albania.

Lina , you got the point

No judgement on traditional dresses. If the singer decides to dress as their folk dancing groups in the backstage or back vocal, or according to the topic of the song then we do not evaluate the dress.
We can be judgemental to the countries who are ashamed of bringing up their traditions and customs. F e nobody dresses like Hadise or Aysel in muslim countries Turkey and Azerbaijan. Those 2 countries want to look more European year by year as if they want to be more catholic than Roman Pope. However, Azerbaijan keeps accusing Armenia of stealing its national tunes, intruments and dresses when making an entry for ESC. If Azeris are ashamed of taking those tunes and instruments to ESC then why they blame others for popularizing their "own" culture?

smarter ass...LOL, but he have a point ..Armenia and Moldova have tradicional dress and we have to respect it that, my opinion is that countreys who use tradicional dresses on stage must be out from that award voting.

Oh. all the gay designers of ESC are here to share their impressions with us. Everybody wants to be a smarter ass.....Get a life. Every singer had his dress according to personality or the nature of the song. Moldova and Armenia were having an ethno pop songs and they were in their traditional national constumes. What kind of comments do you post here? Could Nelly Ciobanu change the course of history of Moldova? Thats the way people dress in Moldova, in Bulgaria in Armenia etc. Finally this is a contest of nations. We have to see what makes those nations unique. This is an educational contest as well. We have to celebrate our diversity, educate each other about our cultural heritage. I really liked Patricia's classy dress, her singing in French, her national pride, I adored Moldova's, Armenia's great dresses, Romania wasnt bad at all. Relax and do not show off your smart ass gay taste.

i wonder whether andre lloyd webber will be going to check his perofmance in joseph? if i were andrew id be very worried after the vocal performance zoli gave, andrew has a knack of always making sure his songs are performed to their best, so i can assume he will be very quickly checking out the show to see if he is up to standard

Although Zoli is talented young man he really needed of a better advise for his performance. What a pity, but he used the wrong concept. Loboda from Ukraine exceeded any expectation, but towards the wrong side, she also deserves a Barabara Dex award.

oh well, at least he won something...still thought there were worse: e.g Serbia and also those German trousers!..
