Ce Soir-La

It's Monday morning, really early in the morning. I'm skyping with my friends, Dicky and Kei. Well, since we're not doing anything productive, I decided to update my blog. Anyway, I decided to update my Eurovision 2011 votes too.

Good Evening Düsseldorf. Here are the results of the Indonesian jury.

1 point goes to Germany
2 points go to Turkey
Macedonia, 3 points.
Estonia, 4 points.
5 points are for Iceland
6 points go to Finland
7 points to Switzerland
Our 8 points go to Belgium
10 points go to Italy
And finally, our 12 points are for Serbia!

Other good entries:
Sweden
Ireland
Portugal (yes, Portugal)
Israel
Armenia

That's it for now.

Update.

This update is due about a month, sorry, but I was busy, see the next blogpost.

Anyway, the winner was Azerbaijan, "Running Scared" by Ell & Nikki with 221 points. 2nd place was Italy with 189 points and 3rd was Sweden with 185 points.

My votes for the first semifinal:

1 point goes to Iceland.
2 points go to Hungary.
3 points will be given to Russia.
We will give our 4 points to Georgia.
Our 5 points go to Finland.
6 to Armenia.
7 to Croatia.
8 points will be received by Turkey.
10 points are awarded to Switzerland.
And finally, 12 points go to Serbia!

Note that these might alter from the original voting above due to the fact that this was made much later than the original. 7 out of the 10 countries mentioned above made it. Those who didn't were Croatia, Armenia, and Turkey.

Now for the 2nd SemiFinal votes:

1 point is for Ireland.
2 points are for Austria.
Ukraine, 3 points.
4 points for Romania.
5 to Israel.
6 points are awarded to Bulgaria.
7 are for Belarus.
8 points will be received by Macedonia.
10 points to Estonia.
And finally, my 12 points go to Belgium!

5 countries from the above made it to the final. Either Europe's taste of music is bad or the other good songs I like didn't make it here.

And the final voting.

*votes are shown*
12 Serbia
10 Italy
8 Switzerland
7 Estonia
6 Germany
5 Spain
4 Finland
3 France
2 Romania
1 The United Kingdom

And those are my votes. Thank you.

Comment on this year's Eurovision:
IT WAS DEFINITELY BETTER! Days are passing, and one day I decided to check out the winning songs in reverse chronological order. I have to say, WELL DONE DÜSSELDORF!!! The real question now is whether Azerbaijan will be able to host Eurovision in their capital Baku. Btw, compared to the previous years, the quality of the songs, the stage, the awesomeness, they're all better. Also the videos are in HD. HD! And it was certainly fun too (I didn't believe Anke Engelke was an actual comedian and I thought that was part of their act, I thought it was Stefan Raab). Also, the camera, the effects, the intervals, everything was simply spectacular. Though, I have to confess, on the day of the 2nd Semifinals my laptop broke, so I couldn't watch it. Finally I found out you could watch the finals via TVE Internacional, which is Spanish television, over Spanish commentary. So I did, and, while waiting, I decided to take a "little rest" and fell asleep, so I watched the rerun. I was shocked to find out that Azerbaijan had won too, despite finding out about 12 hours after the show (I limited internet access for a whole day). Well, at least I got to watch it, and later I watched it again online. Overall, it was AWESOME! :D :D :D :D :D
