Monday, May 26th, 2008

The Daily Mail has an article about the impact of bloc voting on the contest, something that it was predicting before the final result. Catholicqauze has a good explanation of why none European countries are able to compete.

I’ve updated my task from last year for Belgrade 2008 (Word 200 doc kb). I’m going to use the map of voting patterns from 2007 as a starter. There was also an interesting piece on the B.B.C. about the influence of population demographics on voting.

I thought the voting has a bit more open this year… but the songs weren’t as good. My personal favourite was Iceland. Still can’t believe that Andy received less points than Spain… pure madness.
