So, today has been a fun day.
I went to the result pages for Eurovision for a few Eastern European countries and snooped around. Look at the votes for Austria:

Those are five countries where the televoting for Austria was extremely positive, and yet the juries seemed to hate our dear Conchita. I find it amusing that she won securely despite this, and I find it heart-warming that the people of these sometimes extremely conservative countries have voted for her. Maybe there is hope after all, aye?
I added up the points Conchita would have gotten if it was all televoting, and it made 306. So all these people saying the whole thing was rigged with corrupt juries in favour of Conchita? That's some proper bullshit right there.
Another thing: Rise Like A Phoenix actually topped iTunes in Russia.
I love statistics and Europe. I love Conchita.
On another note, I've learned Rise Like A Phoenix. Now there's some material for my Youtube channel. I'll probably upload this weekend.
Signing off for now. Have a good Monday night.
