sorry but this is not fair!!! Public did NOT like France and Israel !! So people in Bosnia did NOT like these 2 songs....HOW CAN THEY GET SO MANY POINTS because some ''jury'' put them so high points??

I thought eurovision song contest is about what people of europe like !!where is democracy?And how can a jury not even vote with one point Ajerbaijan and Greece when it's obvious that people from these country liked them a lot??

I am very content with this televoting. It shows that the outcome is a acceptable mixture of neighbour/diaspora voting and neutral jury votings that gives countries like France, Norway or any other western country the chance to receive points from Ex-Yugo countries.

@Lina love's Norway!

I didn't say anything about Cyprus. You were the one who "attacked" Bosnian vote.

Again we see that the jury did not vote realistically or in tact with the final results. Again the winner received more from the TELEVOTE!!!

" Igor Cukrov participated in Ex-Yu version of "Operation Triumph". Plenty of people in Bosnia loved him, voted for him and he became very, very popular here. " same for Greece and Sakis in Cyprus ..but u attack Cyprus voting ;)

@Angelic B and all the others

Igor Cukrov participated in Ex-Yu version of "Operation Triumph". Plenty of people in Bosnia loved him, voted for him and he became very, very popular here. So, did you really think that Bosnians won't vote for him on Eurovision (he sang on language we understand, he is famous here, and he had nice song with nice lyrics). So, STOP talking about politic voting. It really isn't.

I don't understand why the televote has priority!!!!! Look at B&H votes for Portugal, Germany and Azerbeijan. They all have 6 points given by the jurys and televote but because Portugal has 6 pts from the jury gets only 1 pt while Azerbeijan has 6 pts given by televote and then in the final gets 3 pts!!!! I thought there would be 50% vote on each side but still i see that televote is more important: and again neighbours voting is still there. :(

whell personal i dont like Bosnia song so much, i thing that kind of songs must to understand the lyrics beacuse Bosnian singer give more emfasis to lyrics on stage ( his face reaction etc ), the music was very typical and simple, it wasnt like Norway or Moldova or Turkey or Azerbaijan or Greece for example who and even if somebody dont understand the english language get the rythm of the music. Maybe if Bosnian lyrics was in english would be in top 5 . This is my personal opinion . :)

voting on music (art in general) is NEVER fair, and never cant be, cause we all have our own musical taste...when someone say "this song was the best" (like me for Patricia) it only means "I enjoyed this song the most" and that's it! Someone else liked Finland or Romania more. And that's okay.

Patrica was right when she said that she can't say what song was the best because they are so different and it's not even possible to compare them.

It's MUSIC it's not SPORT!I What exactly would change if your favorite song won (if that's not song from your country) ? I still listen to Patricia, Israel and Estonia and don't care about Norway, Iceland or any other song.

So stop worrying about votes and enjoy the music.

I liked the B/H jury votes. There was a nice varity!

And now i get the opportunity to state one more time that Bistra Voda deserved so much better...top3 in my opinion and quite frankly i was preety sure it would happened...

Does anyone here has any clue why B/H didn't get the high position that most of us thought would achieve???

just from curiocity....each countrey jury u thing dont know how many points give from televoting to the countreys who passing to the final? Personal i doubt if some employes from each countrey broadcaster dont know that results and everything is secret until sunday, so after that its very easy jurys to know they r countrey ( and maybe some friends countreys results in semis ) correct? So if they know that results they know how much power have some countreys to get good points from they r countrey televoting ;) so they give some points less to that countreys songs ( if that countrey songs are friend with they r countrey ) and nobody understand any cheating ;) And also opposite if they dont want they r countrey to give many points or nothing points to some countreys if they see that in semi televoting theyr countrey gave points to that countreys they just dont vote that countrey in the final ;) Personal i dont thing that jurys are so innocent, and i dont speak about Bosnian jury bad for all jurys, we sow many( expert ) jurys to give points to some countreys who they r song wasnt so good to get points from one expert jury ( for example poland 8 points to Ukraine , and also 2 points to Latvia in semi ) , Personal i dont trust jurys :S

there will always be problems but 50-50 is ok for me!However, this jury didn't vote for Iceland or Estonia and instead gave 12pts to Israel and 4 to Germany.I liked the israeli entry but not 12 pts...

I take it(and I haven't looked) ,That most of you who prefer televoting and who say jury voting stinks ,are all under 30 ,with most of you being nearer 20 .I would presume so as none of you rememeber ESC with jury voting . Even if ,that is what is wrong with the world today,people with no talent believing they have a right to decide what is Talent.

I don't see how jury voting is fair can someone please explain to me how it is proven to be a better or fair system/method ?

As long as the jury votes are (mostly) different that televotes and they include the Uk and France, it's enough to be considered fairer for some people.
lol
