The winner - Serbia - didn't deserve to win in my opinion. And would not have, if FIVE of its eight neighbours hadn't awarded it the maximum 12 points. Honestly, if the Balkans had been allowed to vote like this in 1974 I doubt Abba would have won, and the world would have been a poorer place without their music. Okay the Scandinavians keep their votes within their region too, but they seem to spread them out more.

I got pretty steamed about Alex Rodriguez being robbed of the Rookie of the Year Award back in the day, too.
But... Aren't these the same countries that only a few short years ago were SHOOTING AT EACH OTHER and now they're "banding together" (pun intended). Surely there could be worse problems.
btw, I've never seen "pants" as an adjective before. Thanks for the education.
