As a person who saw it all, I must agree with Barry, the poor girl had some
serious problems at the beginning of the song. I honestly think she was
nervous for all the contestants, and then some.

But with the changed rules, aren't you automatically in the final group
anyways? Isn't UK one of four with fixed place in the finals along with
Germany, France and Spain?

As for the Austrian contestant, I predicted that he'd get a lot of voting,
because his act was very rebellious, he was in more ways than one airing
his opinion on the contest.

But I must finish off by stating that the difference between the Turkish
winner and Holly Valance's Kiss Kiss is slim to none.
