Now for Round 2: the voting.
Remember, points awarded for:

- Station idents
- Hosts trying to be fun
- Blatant politicing
- Hosts refusing to give up their allotted bit of airtime
- Null Points

I said 'Croatia', Europe said 'Portugal'. And I feel in no position to dispute this.
Honestly, these people voting on musicality rather than showmanship. Are they really that unshallow?

How do neither the Eurovision judges or the Eurovision voting public understand the point of Eurovision? Giving good songs points? Huh?
