I’m from one of those former Soviet republics and I’d say its not about he artists being familiar. Its because during the Soviet era Russians migrated massive amounts of people from Siberia to our countries in order to kill our culture. When you have around a third of the population Russians its no wonder that Russia gets big points.

I watched (parts of) the Eurovision and really enjoyed it! Mainly because of the English commentator who’s sense of humour I thought was absolutely brilliant!
However I’m not too happy with the outcome (nothing against the Finns - they well deserved it I suppose) as that might mean that next year half of the contestants will show up with a hard/heavy/whatever/rock song to match up to the last winner, just as there have been noticebly more songs with oriental influence, since Turkey won it 2 years ago. And I’m stuck on Eurovision being more of a pop-kind-of song contest (donno why …).
We shall live and see.

You’re right, it was (at least partially) in English. The fact that the artist was somewhat local to the general culture based area also had to do with it.

It also depends on the amount of foreigners living in the country. Like how Germany gave 12 points to Turkey.

“…because the song was in a language they understood…”

In English, you mean? Mind you, the pronounciation was so unclear, it might as well have been Russian.

But I’m nitpicking. I totally agree with you — people vote for cultures they feel close to, and that’s part of the game.
