it deserves more recognition tbh. it's a really nice song, she performed really well and her dress looked like it was straight out of the hunger games.
i wish serbia would send something a little more exciting though
kii @ Hovi Star being 16th out of 18 in televote in the semi-final and the juries saving him... and Macedonia didn't make it despite being 8th in televote and singing in Macedonian. Ew.
So this years contest seems to have had very little impact on itunes. The winning song is doing nothing bar in a few countries. Highest song in Uk is #34 and thats UK song. Makes you wonder whats its all for besides some "One night only" TV spectacle. Not that its ever really been relevant to modern music but it seems to becoming even less so.
I am amused by how Australian broadcasters act like its some huge Olympic size honour to get a silver medal in the contest. I dont think they get the joke.
