HAPPY VOTING!

[Corki]

To get the ball rolling, here are the scores from Corki.

 

Finland - 1 point

Bosnia & Herzegovina - 2 points

Malta - 3 points

Estonia - 4 points

Sweden - 5 points

Moldova- 6 points

Portugal - 7 points

 

And the top 3 from Corki:

 

8 points go to the UK!

 

10 points go to Azerbaijan!

 

And it is 12 points to Iceland!

[Majsju]

Hmm, Corki seems to have forgotten that you are not supposed to vote for your own country... ;)

 

1 point - Russia

2 points - Ukraine

3 points - Turkey

4 points - Albania

5 points - France

6 points - Portugal

7 points - Azerbaijan

8 points - Estonia

10 points - Moldova

12 points - Norway

 

Unlike some people, I stick to Eurovision rules, and exclude Sweden. ;D

However, if I had cheated, Sweden would have recieved 8 points from me.

[Graendals favourite]

Corki inserted the special clause for this vote that voting for your own country is permissible. I will stick with my decision after the performances:

 

1 pint Finland

2 points Croatia

3 points Russia

4 points Bosnia & Herzegovina

5 points Estonia

6 points Moldova

7 points Portugal

8 points Ukraine

10 points Germany

12 points France.

 

And, knowing the results of the final, the typo is too amusing to correct.

[Corki]

Thanks for pointing that out to Maj, GF. I did insert it deliberately, like I did last year. We don't have enough people for that to operate, and I don't think it would be fair as a result.

[Nightstrike]

1 point to Armenia

2 points to Russia

3 points to Albania

4 points to Finland

5 points to United kingdom

6 points to Sweden

7 points to Estonia

8 points to Israel
