I don't know. It's the same with all european sports competitions. If they wanna be european so much, why don't the come back here and let them arabs have their land?
germany won, becoz them song was most known and popular before finals, managers did them job. BUT song wasn't total crap, it was not bad for eurovision.
I wanted turkey to win or ukraina, but..
Not really, since it assumes that only the winning song tried to promote itself, which obviously isn't the case. The google search is very good at detecting which songs resonate with the listeners, but it tells you nothing about why that is the case.
Only reason for watching Eurovision was to see Wogan get more and more xenophobic as the night went on... I don't know why other countries even watched it.
