Agree about the "love this show" rubbish; I'd change the way of delivering votes.
But interesting to see Eurovision thrashed the declining X Factor or BGT or whatever ITV rely on; ratings were almost double. I reckon sweet little Jedward were responsible for a lot of that; and Blue none of it.

There was far too much 'Love the show' nonsense going on.

kati wolf was average and that is not good enough when you are up against some great performers,
people will say that eric saade is not a very good singer, TRUE but then his song was not a power ballad,
it was an upbeat pop song with plenty of backing which covered eric's vocal limitations
kati did well to qualify for the final

I loved the Moldovians. Bonkers fun. I've heard a few others mention that they loved it too and they are the type who wouldn't usually watch the show.
This year there seemed to be something for everyone.
At work today (non-music industry office) more people were talking about it than I've heard for years. Most people thought Blue were just relying on their previous fame and felt they were pretty ropey (song and performance) - the use of their own faces just had people laughing at their own self-importance.

I read/listen to/ watch quite a lot of Hungarian media, and there has been genuine consternation over why they came 22nd when the pre-final feedback was so positive.
It's not my style of music but I kind of agree. I don't think they were expecting to win but... 22nd?
Kati Wolf was interviewed on tv this evening and was fine about it, saying she did her best and would do the same again. She also said that since the contest she has had quite a bit of interest from Scandinavia, Germany and the UK.
I do have Hungarian connections, but that aside I find it odd they finished that low.
Some odd results this year, but all in all it kind of reassures my faith in the contest as it was less predictable and therefore better viewing.
