Fully FURIOUS about the Eurovision voting
So if you're cool at all you'll have been watching Eurovision last night, and you'll have seen that The Netherlands "won" it because a tiny handful of people that no-one knows get 50% of the entire vote. The public votes had Norway as the winner (which is correct they were the best performers by a massive amount) and when you look at the breakdown of votes the old oh it's just political it doesn't matter about the music argument is shown to apply almost exclusively to these supposedly impartial and professional juries.
There's an enorrrrrrrrrmous disparity with what the public enjoyed (which is what it should be about) and what the juries wanted. Never mind that the juries vote based on a rehearsal rather than the final show anyway cough cough.

This is just the results for Norway's points - 37 of the 41 participating countries gave them points on the public vote... and only 10 juries. There was also the ultra obvious 12 point swap between Greece and Cyprus which quite rightly got some audience boos, and basically the entire thing was a mess at the end. Cancel the juries, they bring NOTHING to the competition and are clearly not doing their job properly as it is.
