Hehe, thank you.

I wish there was more people with your logic on The X Factor and The Voice.

I agree, and it was also different and original, unlike Russia's generic song.

Russia's entry was focusing on the staging while Ukraine's was focusing on the music. Eurovision is a song contest so I'm happy it won.

I really loved the Ukraine entry, that's the kind of Music that should win more singing shows imo as it has passion to it.

And personally, I'm very happy the juries didn't let Russia win this year. Ukraine or Australia deserved it so much more.

Yes, they are always favored by the televote but not by the juries too.

For example, in 2011 the juries placed Russia last. In 2015 they placed them 3rd. And I'm not even going to compare their 2011 entry to the masterpiece they sent in 2015...

Russia's annoying because they get favoured in both voting systems sadly.

Although I know they was harmed by the juries in the last Eurovision.

Yes, juries can be corrupted but there are also jury members who vote in a more professional way. For example, they usually award quality entries or great voices.

While televoters usually just vote for entertaining entries and they can also be more corrupted than the juries, for example Russia is almost always in the top 10 of the televote at Eurovision, just because they have many neighbors.
The juries balance the bloc voting when the entry doesn't truly deserve it, from a professional point of view always.

I don't like the jury system because it can be corrupted, hence why certain countries are always guaranteed certain places no matter who they select as their representative.

Well, I disagree, I think that juries are essential too but professional juries.

The "juries" in UMK (the Finnish selection) are just regular people, like televoters...

I mean, what's the point?
