I think I was saved this year from my own recklessness by not having much time – I would have probably backed Ireland against UK. Made nothing on Denmark, reasonable amount T10 and semis.

Denmark crowned Eurovision winners Three jailed over Eurovision 'plot' Azerbaijan's President Ilham Aliyev has ordered an inquiry into why his country gave Russia "nul points" at Saturday's Eurovision Song Contest.
Voters and the official Azerbaijan jury in fact gave strong backing to the Russian entry, according to officials.
Azerbaijan's state broadcaster suggested there may have been voting violations.
Russia gave the maximum 12 points to Azerbaijan's entry - a ballad by Farid Mammadov.
He came second behind winner Emmelie de Forest from Denmark.
Russia's Dina Garipova came fifth at the event in the Swedish city of Malmo.
Azerbaijan's ambassador to Russia, Polad Bulbuloglu, disclosed that President Aliyev had ordered an investigation and votes were being recounted.
He said that a large number of voters in Azerbaijan, submitting votes by text message, had supported the Russian Federation.
"According to this data, Russia should have received 10 points from Azerbaijan. An announcement will be made about this tonight on Azeri Public Television."
Camil Guliyev, head of the country's state broadcaster, said the failure to give Russia any points was of serious concern.
"We sincerely hope that this incident, possibly initiated by certain interest groups, will not cast a shadow over the brotherly relations of the Russian and Azerbaijani peoples," he said, without elaborating.
Azerbaijan, which hosted last year's contest, has traditionally tried to maintain good relations with Moscow though there have been tensions over energy in the past.

At 1st look the thing that jumps out is that the Italian jury didn't rate the Netherlands. It ended up with 1pt in the semi and bloody Spain must have beaten it by a long way in the final. Italy didn't give The Netherlands anything and gave 2pts

Denmark from 6th to top thanks to the Italian jury.
It will be interesting to see if the other juries show a similar pattern. Strong support for Denmark & Norway. Less than expected for The Netherlands..and not keen on Russia either

No smoking gun in CowelI`s hand, but I liked this one
In the top thirteen in season 8, the expected phone number for finalist Alexis Grace, IDOLS-13, was not owned by American Idol, but by a company called Intimate Encounters, who used it as a sex line.
In May 2009, following allegations in the media of an American Idol texting scandal dubbed "Textgate", one of American Idol's corporate sponsors AT&T, admitted providing free mobile phones and texting services for fans of Kris Allen at parties organized on the night of the program's final episode.[24] Company representatives also provided Allen's supporters with lessons in how to send "power texts" which send ten or more votes with the touch of a single button. Bobby Kierna, one of the 2,000 guests who attended just one of the events, told reporters that she had voted for Allen 10,840 times.[25] AT&T denied attempting to "fix" the contest and apologized, saying that employees had been "caught up in their enthusiasm" and promised that they will in future "celebrate the competition, not individual contestants".[
So, AI`s corporate sponsor arranges parties (plural) of 2,000 people, each voting up to 10,000 times, for the sponsors` preferred contestant. That`s potentially 20,000,000 votes. PER PARTY!!! This explains how the best contestant ever, Adam Lambert, didn`t win. But it`s all OK, as they said `sorry` after being caught.

So almost 1/4 (25%!) voted for Romania in Italy but they only got 1 point?!
I didnt rate Romania at all but it seems that people liked the dracula, like they liked Lordi some years ago, maybe it could go to win the whole thing? That means also that Lordi had no chance if there was juries voting also.
Well done to the organisers and their new count-systems, it is now worse than ever before.

Eurovision Gets Over 3.5 Million Tweets Across Europe Saturday’s Eurovision final saw over 900,000 people post 3,700,000 tweets related to the competition across Europe. Tweets peaked at 46,000 per minute just after 9.00pm during Romania’s entry, while the second largest peak came during Greece’s entry, which saw 39,400 tweets posted in a minute. There were 113,000 tweets mentioning the BBC broadcast, while 85,000 mentioned BBC Eurovision host Graham Norton. Due to the high volume of tweets being posted across Europe in a mix of languages we tracked Eurovision as an event rather than a UK specific broadcast, which meant it did not feature in our top ten leaderboard

To protect the fairness of the voting, the EBU does not release the split ranking of televoting and jury per country. Publishing these numbers would explicitly highlight if countries don’t meet the televoting threshold – the minimum number of televotes needed to become a statistically valid result – is and where thus only the jury voting was regarded valid. Explicitly highlighting these countries could lead to unwanted disproportionate influence on the televoting in these countries in future years to come.

Just caught up on this - Spain finished average much lower on BOTH jury and televote than Ireland, but they still beat them?
About 14th on the televote too - but they still get last place!

Starting to wonder if, as I pondered during my 2 weeks in Malmo, whether they haven't completely misread these new rankings in some countries - so the last place ranking on some lists has been awarded 1st, and vice-versa. Absolutely baffling results this year.

The Romanian press claim to have the results of the national jury for the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 (second semifinal and the grand final). The information we receive from the voting is that Azerbaijan is treated weirdly between the second semifinal and the final. In the second semifinal Azerbaijan gets 1st rank by the jury and fourth in the final. Greece is also treade weirdly as it gets 2nd rank in the second semifinal and 10th rank in the final! Israel missed the top ten in the second semifinal and (surprise) Denmark missed the top ten ranking in the final!

The jury votes from the United Kingdom with lots of interesting things. We notice that the jury gave points to Belarus and Azerbaijan but the publi vote didn’t award them anything as we show in the combined result both in the first semifinal and the final. In the first semifinal Lithuania missed the top ten and the same happened with Lithuania in the final. We remind you that televoting results are not available / country this year to any of the national broadcasters.
