Eurovision Aftermath

Well! What do we think? Ukraine was seriously scary, but the commentator once again proved himself a genius and overall a good Eurovision. Serbia actually had a decent song, and my favourites, Latvia, got owned. Oh well, there were some very good songs. Now to try and get the CD without paying $5491282957202. Preferably without paying one measly cent.
So, which songs were the best? Which songs were the worst? Who had the worst costumes? (The most fun category!) How political was the voting this year?
My personal favourite songs were those of: Latvia, Serbia, Romania (No, there isnt a pattern.) Also Russia, Greece, Slovenia, France and many more were worthy of the title 'Decent.' Even Finland!
The worst songs? Ireland and Ukraine actually had very good music backing the singers. The singers however were akin to Banshees. I have heard more musical talent from a chainsaw.
The worst costumes? Well, as always the French know how to surprise, and while their song was quite good, the costumes were, Pink and all over the place. Even without the horrid, garish colouring they were bad! But, nothing was to compare to the Ukraine. Whoever designed that horrible silver dress, worn by a rather plump man with huge glasses who somehow resembled the actresses from Thelma and Louise, SHOULD BE SHOT, HUNG, DRAWN AND QUARTERED, AND MADE TO SIT THROUGH A LECTURE FROM WARD!
And finally, to a topic which is always enjoyable. Political voting. Some of the biggest offenders were once again there. Scandinavia exchanged votes, Greece made sure South-Eastern Europe was looked after, and Poland didn't give any votes to Germany. Not that they probably deserved that many.
These factors are all quite interesting, and made for a thoroughly enjoyable Eurovision. Can't wait till next years!
