Eurovision 2009: The juries liked us, the public not quite so much
THE European Broadcasting Union has released the full details of the split between the jury votes and the public televotes at this year's Eurovision Song Contest.
Jade Ewen and the UK finished fifth overall, but that's a combination of the juries having My Time in third place out of the 25 songs - but the public only placing it 10th once all the phone votes were added up.
Winners Norway came out top with both the juries and the public, but there are real discrepancies with France (4th with the juries, 17th with the public) and Israel (9th for the juries and 25th/last with the public).
However, big thanks from the UK to the juries in Greece, Portugal, FYR Macedonia, Serbia, Spain and Albania. The wise folk in each of these gave Blighty the full 12. Aren't they nice?
The full article on the official Eurovision webpage is here for you to have a closer look at who liked what - and if any politics did indeed come into play.
