Ukraine were robbed.
On the other hand, it's cheering that a Serbian lesbian torch song carried the day.
PS Bad Sarah hated Bulgaria's effort, but I think it rocks. Seriously.

We voted for Georgia - hence nul points from the British jury.
I would have been happy with Bulgaria but nothing else really stood out.
Take the vocal off that Bulgarian song and it sounds like it should have been a Paul Oakenfold track from the '90's.
Bangin'
Wings ought to flap. If you can't budget for flapping wings (and there's no shame in that: Superman doesn't have flapping wings) then better to have no wings at all.
The song isn't bad though.
That girl from Bulgaria looks like Alanis Morrisette. A bit.
And I'm with you on the Ukraine being robbed thing.
I'd also like to have seen Georgia do a bit better seeing as their song was the most interesting one. In my opinion anyway. It's this one in case you'd forgotten.
Annie,
Well, I'm with the consensus on this. The Bulgarian song is a foot stompin, e-dropping, club pleaser and not bad for all that.
Of course when I say 'e' I really mean drugs.

I voted for Georgia too.
(I just had a call from my mother who was so ashamed of the whole show. Well...)
Did you like the bonkers Slovene woman with the lamp? (I voted for France. I think they came last.)
I voted for FRANCE too - I was France all the way - it was hilarious and actually good! Boo - for Bulgaria. It's just way too out there people!
I watched it with some friends, and Bulgarian Drum Girl was top of our *would* list.
Didn't folk fancy the Russian girls? One of them made me want to be hetero for a second. Don't think there was any male totty in the whole thing, bar Verka, of course.
Geoff, I attended a Eurovision party representing Georgia, then shamefully abandoned them when I saw the mentallist Ukrainians.
Betty, right, their most modern sounding entry is always at least a decade behind.
QE - er, perhaps she was gliding?
Timbo, yes, see above. I liked it, but it lacked immediate impact...
Dan, I like the gusto with which she attacks the drums.
Taiga WHO WAS THE PRESENTER? Is she famous in Finland? (At one point, Terry Wogan - UK presenter - referred to her as 'my worst nightmare.')
BiB, I don't recall the Slovenian entry - were they in the finals?
Sar, and France had Gaultier-designed costumes - how did they lose?
LC, I can see that. (I'm shocked that the Serbian winnner wasn't top of your *would* list though...)
BiB, the Russian girls were altogether too sexy and raunchy for Eurovision. I think people were terrified. Agreed on the lack of totty, most disappointing. (Off to Google Verka...)
Which one? Jaana (that brunette) is quite famous tv-star and a law student. Or did you mean Krisse (the Barbie Borat)?
I believe it must have been Krisse, Taiga.
Oh yes...Krisse is a stand-up comedienne and a talk show hostess speaking with a perfect Helsinki nasal intonation.
Am I the only one who loved the UK entry? They had good costumes, a dance routine and props. Other than semi-nudity, what more could you ask from your Eurovision entry. So what if they were off key - who wasn't?!
