Oh stop whining.
I guess you didn't pay too much attention in geoph did you? Israel has always been part of Europe. Besides that, Turkey has a "good" chance to become a member of the European union next, so it's only fair they can participate.
Now for your political game thing. It's not. Maybe it has been last year. But to me this year was way better. Or wait, don't tell me you didnt pay attention to the results
A lot of countries didn't vote for the most obvious ones. Also, most of the countries which everyone though would end high because of "friendly votes" ended up rather low on the charts.
Oh and, if there's one thing we learned.. It doesn't matter how many drums you have. Notice how most of the "normal" songs ended up being pretty high? (Take Malta, or Israel for example).
The Dutch presentors should also get a big fat kick under their lazy ass and get the hell out of there. Last year all they did was making racist jokes and this year was no different with their sarcasm and other crap. That they're angry because the Netherlands didn't participate, fine, but at least give a normal showing. I switched to the BBC halfway through beause I couldn't stand them.
And NL wasn't "even" there? Wow, I guess there must have been a reason for that. Maybe becase we keep submitting crap songs? Hmm I wonder. Oh and please don't tell me your one of those people that will now vote "No" for the European constitution now that we're not participating in the EVSC anymore?
All things aside, Israel should've won IMHO, but hey, Greece was nice too. Malta also deserved that second place, if not first above Greece. As for the big countries ending up last.. Totally their own fault, they submitted crap songs (it must've been UKs worst song I've seen so far).
