Apparently Maltese didn't take their missed qualification as gracefully Finns. She first complained the neighbouring voting with tears in her eyes but all was soon forgotten and later that night she was dancing the night away with Polish Marcin who also didn't pass to the final, as you can see in the pic (source: Times of Malta)
Well, the media in Finland did their "told you so" and so did 70% of the nation. It seems that Finns have forgotten the years we never did make the final or had to skip every other year. We have been in the final 2006-2009, it's just a skip year no so what's the big deal. (Sad it is though). I wonder what the reaction in Slovakia has been? Anyone know? Slovakian reading, let us know!
Also, the organisation has been only praised until now. First we got the harsh critic from fans and delegations for the empty arena for the dress rehearsals. Then I started hearing complaints for the Euroclub being too small. And of course things being too expensive in Norway. The limited number of invitations to the Welcome reception caused some outcry. But now I heard that the journalists aren't very happy with the press center, the trasnportation, information and such things. In overall everything seems like perfection but in little things the fine tuning has left a lot to be desired. Oh well. Oh and I have been complaining about the stage being too dark and so. It did look pretty ok in telly after all. It's just all these youtubes and photos seem to be rather dark....
