Well I thought the winning entry was ok

And although I didnt hear the other songs I must say a well done to Zelis,it took a lot of guts to agree to enter knowing she was probably on a hiding to nothing

You need to listen to Zelish again she is rarely out of tune I have heard her live and she very good, thought she was one of the best on the night but with 800.000 GC voters she didnt stand a chance. We are still real proud of her did real well considering the pressure she was under but the outcome was known from the outset.

Her song was yesteryear…

And the winner wasnt??? listen to Norways winning song Nocturn some years back its a rip off that...please lets not get ahead ahead of ourselves.. the young GC girls needs to learn to sing first, the song arrangement needs to be vamped up to stand a chance of getting through the semi finals have you listen to the competition???

I don't see what 800,000 GCa have to do with it, the winner only had 12,000 votes. It would have been very easy for someone to organise 12,000 TC votes if they could be arsed. I won't comment on the merits of any of the songs, I'm tone deaf!

Zelis probably had the lowest number of redialed votes and probably the highest number of single voters from all. All the rest, you have to divide their votes by 10, to get the actual number of single voters they received. I believe the idea to allow as many as 10 votes from each phone, only because this brings more money to the organizers, is very wrong.

Each phone number was allowed 10 numbers. So much less are the people who voted.

I didn't know that woman was TC, but her song was not the best and not the worst. For me the one who won was one of the 2 better ones, although all of them were more or less crap.

The winner was one those wimpy things that school girls would listen to… the same ones that fiddle with their mobile phones all day! :roll:

How else do you think she won?

“Nocturn” is a beautiful piece of music (not even a song) but not Eurovision material.

Yeah, I agree with that... all up just 30,000 odd votes were cast, many from the same phones!
