[QUOTE="Channel Hopper, post: 386645, member: 175144"] I didn't realise until last night that many of the earlier entries had been knocked out of the contest purely on phone voting, just to keep the total final entry count down to 24 or so. Was there a chance to see the Danish/Norwegian/Chech/Israeli offerings in the UK this year ? The countries eliminated earlier have no chance of hosting the show next year, and so the great unwashed public (and those with the ability to block vote) have an active part in how the destination of the show changes. The Eurovision show has enough funding/sponsorship from each country to enable it to be a one-off full length evening show, and the money that could be saved by dropping the mid-round 'contests' could be used to make an even and fair spectacle lasting some six hours or so. But I concur, the UK entry was pants, the French singer that got voted off was far better (but then not a patch on Hungary, (or Georgia for that reason). [/QUOTE]
