Australia was a great song. Deffo a Top 5, and got what it deserved.
Guy's wardrobe manager should be sacked.

Sweden was and is the standout tune.  The reality is that the writing was on the wall from the moment the juries voted at MF.  The fact it's No.1 in 20 countries tells you that once again the right song was crowned champion.  Just annoyed with myself that I waited until the day of the Final before finally committing to back it. 

Austria's win from 200+ last year had me (and many others) looking for the rough diamond in the pack but the winner was staring in the face all along.

Its all about the maths Wink

Best lesson I ever learnt was your breakdown of Loreen in 2012.  This year I properly put 'the maths' into practice.  Lithuania QF / Macedonia QF LAY / Ireland QF LAY / Sweden win.

About time I got round to examining how Montenegro qualified.  The only one where doing the homework cost me money.  I liked the song but voting allies were terrible for it.  Knez did well there.

Yes but I have to admit that despite me having an Armenia-Russia-Greece 1-2-3 on the vote strength I swerved on Armenia QF as the song was THAT bad.  The fact it only finished 7th with that body of friends helping out tells you all you need to know about the song!  Still, the maths was right and backing them resulted in profit to reward anyone doing the homework

That said, guess which song was going round in my head as I put my head on the pillow that night!  LOL.

was strange which songs I was waking up with each morning...kept changing...I actually think it was a pretty good year with 3 or 4 that could have won without much disagreement.
