when i see comments like the one minou just did..
i just say.. wow i cant believe there's so many ignorant ppl in this world...
there were five judges.. and ONE was of Turkish origin BUT she gave SO MANY POINTS TO TURKEY that the country managed to get 8 points.. because a Swiss juror will never for Turkey? give me a break
Once again there 100,000 Turks and 6 millions Swiss in Switzerland.. but then again those 100 thousand Turks voted x 1 million times to give Turkey the 12 points from the televoting.. Because the 6 million Swiss managed to only vote once and it wasnt enough to give the 12 to other countries.. because yeah, a Swiss will never vote for Turkey
JESUS
No wonder that the Swiss jury gave Turkey 8 points:
One of the judges, Emel, is of Turkish origin. She even said in an interview that she grew up with Turkish music.
I'm disapointed about the selection of our judges. The Turkish in Switzerland vote for their Country every year very madly, why has to be a Turkish judge in our jury as well?

Why should I call myself that, I'm from Norway - the North, the land of the "Fairytale" (remember the winning song?)..hehe 
Just because I like the song "Always" doesn't meen I didn't like any of the other songs in ESC 2009, cause I liked a lot of songs. Somehow I don't think you are from Sweden, are you?

Always repeat same short music like a phone signal...
I can't say this is a song...
And @Sara, why you not calling your nickname "The "Always" of the Centralasia - Sara" ? 
CIRTDAN DIVYIXAN:
Norway gave Azerbaijan 10 points (even though the votes were just from the jury because the errors happening to the televotes that night), BUT I'm pretty sure the voters had Azerbaijan high up too cause "Always" is popular in Norway

9 good songs there.. but Turkey?
by the way turkey people stop complaining... we (portugal) the wigher place that we have been was 6!!! in 46 years!!! last year we came in 2nd on semifinal and finnish 13th... so stop complaining there are other comtries with as good songs that turky or better that stayed worst on votes so its very unfair for other couties see you saying that stuff... you get 4th place its not bad... not bad at all... we didnt win in 46 year but we still try and if you stop complaining and start thinking in next year maybe you get a higher place...
@ernst leumann , i know why u have problem with me and u say that i m turk and u complain for my english, beacuse i like Azeri song and i didnt support u when u flooding with u r rapish comments about Azeri voting. U say a lot of times ( 100+ ) that Azeri diplomats pay people in europian borders to vote for Azerbaijan do u remember that idiot flood comments of u ? And stop to swear my comments and me and tell us who u r . my profile is open ur profile is close, u dont even say u r countrey, if u have several profiles and with each one profile of u rs u r reaction is different that dont means that everybody here doing the same, and btw the word "coz" only 2-3 persons used here
Oh please, stop that BS. Shake it up shekerim ....everybody wants to shake something at ESC. Neither Kenan nor Hadise is a singer. They are lousy cabare or harem singers.
And I cant understand how come turks didnt vote last year for the turkish entry or for Sibel? Greeks took 12 in UK and Germany last year having a singer and a performance much worse than this year's entry. If the same Greeks, the same diaspora votes every year with the same pace and quantity of sms, then how come bad Greek entry of Kalomira and turkish entry of Hadise took UK and Germany but brilliant performances of Sibel and Sakis lost the same countries. There is only one explanation- the televotes are being manipulated as well. For political correctness victories are alternatively awarded either to Greece or to Turkey, or Armenia and Azerbaijan. If everything goes this way , next year Greece will win Germany and UK and Armenia will take his traditional countries that were missed this year. Both televotes and juri votes are becoming more and more predictable.
