of the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest, Russian singer Dima Bilan won the top prize, details are comming in, but I think he sung a song called Believe in Spanish, not sure though. Ukraine had Ani Lorak representing, who I seen in concert last November, a very good singer as well.
Anyone that believes in the Eurovision, or the voting of, needs help :)
It's all political voting, for years Turkey never gave a single point to Greece or Cyprus & vice versa and because the western countries don't take the contest seriously it has now become dominated by the eastern countries, the former Yugoslav countries give the top points to another former Yugoslav country, Moldovia gave top points to Romania (now there's a surprise) and so many of the former FSU countries gave top points to Russia.
I only ever watch the last hour of the programme just for the points giving, the music is crap but the points giving is so funny, particularly with UK (Irish) commentor Terry Wogan commentating, he has been doing it for so many years he just takes the piss out of the political voting :)
