If it was up to me...I would give the win to Iceland this year! I loved the song and the performance.
Since the Semi-final, I've been doing nothing but keep listening to it....heard it over 350 times in a couple of days! :P I'm seriously addicted to it! :P

well, in general, I would give...

1p. UK
2p. Germany
3p. Finland
4p. Denmark
5p. Lithuania
6p. Romania
7p. Malta
8p. Norway
10p. Greece
12p. Iceland :p

Turkey's song is actually a very nice one but the live performance was a bit disappointing.
If I had another point to give I would give it to Azerbaijan :)

But again...hope Iceland gets it!

Hi...I am from Turkey and watched the contest since I was a kid ;-) well put a side national feelings my personal opinion like this after listening all songs...
I really like the songs from Portugal, Serbia and Moldova because i always liked the pure traditional music from the representative countries. not the ones blended with the pop culture and fake moves created just for win. ( I am not going to mention that names, but so many )
But If you think the all package, like pprofessional careografy, music, sound, populizm, lookind good etc this year might be the Scandinavian year, either Norway or Sweden will win. But this is only my opinion of course, and usually I am wrong lol...
For My country Turkey I wish the best for Hadise and hope she will put the pressure off and be just herself and have fun.............cheers to all

sklleverit sllave dhe pederat e grekoetiopise do votojne njeri tjetrin dhe nuk do fitojme sepse sic e dime qe ky festival nderkombetar nuk bazohet nga ana thelbesore te talenti qe spikat te cdo njeri por tek votat qe arixhinjte sllave dhe pederogrekoetiopianet i japin njeri tjetrin.
Vitin e kaluar Olta Boka meritonte me se miri nga te gjithe te fitonte.

Hi guys. To those of you who are writing about having to use English: just go for it 8-)

Most people will understand you so don't hold back. 8-D

Actually, sometimes I write stuff in French, cos I feel bad about knowing English fluently and getting to use it, so I make mistakes too, lol.

By the way, ty for your vote, Andris! ;-)

for sure we all want that the competition gets back to singing and move away from carneval which is also sometimes not that bad but is against the idea of Eurovision from the beginning:) I would be happy if world music would gather new stars from Eurovisions, stars like ABBA, Celine Dion and others. This is why I am voting for unbelievable voice of Jade(And music of E.L.Webber), great musical story by Norway violin player and nice singer, professional performance from France and Latvia, as well for organizers - Russia:) good luck guys:)

I'd like to winner be some country from Western or Northern Europe, because Eastern and South-Eastern (Balkans) countries are dominated almost last ten years. Austria withdrawed for this reason and Holland and Belgium too crying on themselves poor destinies...:)
