Or so the tabloids try make it. But indeed none of our neighbours gave us any votes in the final; Estonia, Sweden, Norway, Russia... not even usually generous Iceland. Nor Latvia. Sweden and Estonia are especially targeted by the media. Finland gave points to both of them.
Indeed if you check the votes given in the semifinal and final one can only wonder how those 7 points from Iceland, 5 from Hungary 8 points from Latvia, Norway and Spain just vanished? The only ones keeping the trend were San Marino (from 7 to 3), Germany (from 3 to 1) and France (from 7 to 3). Israel is an opposite; one point in the semifinal, 4 in the final! Thank you!
The most shocking votes are perhaps Azerbaijan's 3 in the semifinal!
In Ilta-Sanomat poll 70% of the voters believed in better placing. Also no one is blaming Krista (an old Finnish media habit: first you support, then you massacre) adn everyone is saying she did a great job. It is also reported especially British and Spanish were also wondering aloud in Malmö what happened? Why?
Krista herself was happy and partied her night away in the EuroClubäs after party! Ding dong!

Most of the spaniards only watch the finals because we don't sing in the semi, so the ones who watch the semifinals are probably eurofans.
In Spain there is still a retrograde sector, and unfortunately it isn't as little as it should be.
Sorry for the possible mistakes :(
