Most likely not, and the voting system is clearly not a good one. Should there be a maximum times you cant vote on one entry, and should it be possible to vote already from the first performance? And also the power of the jury votes...
does it even matter?
thanks the gods there's FinlandI'm just afraid that Norway or Spain or other lower placed countries would not be that original next year in their choices when it is time to send their songs to the Eurovision, because of the "Politics" or everything else which is not connected to the music... After all, Norway's song even finished the last, I will listen in the future, the Eurovision placement is not the ultimate merit of what we like or not
The jury seemed oddly coordinated this year, it´s been a long time since there were so many 12s given away, I think it´s a record of 12 in jury votes. Probably not seen since Alexander Rybaks Fairytale got so many 12s back i 2009, in average he got a wooping 9,44 (jury + public), and very surprising considering the bookmakers predicted Switzerland in 3rd place.
It shouldn´t be political but I think they were a little coordinated to prevent Israel from winning, after all it became very clear that Israel since the semi final would get a lot of public votes and nobody really wanted to see the chaos of Israel winning and hosting Eurovision next year, so I think there might have been so change in minds since the semi and the leaked public votes.
Soon the votes from semi finals will be published, we might see some changes from the semi to the finals in the jury votes and that might tell us something.
All though, Switzerland song is one of those who deserves 12 point, so i´m happy about the result all though it was a bit surprising.
Honestly my biggest surprise is how poorly Norway did and placed dead last. Particular because they have been predicted everything from 8th - 16th at the bookmakers the whole time. I don´t know if the bookmakers have ever misplaced a entry like thatI knew the song was maybe a bit too odd for the public and it would even be love or hate, so I wasn´t expecting much from the public - but given the cultural addition, lyrics in own language, good staging, good vocals and how well the audience responded - it is a big shock to me that they didn´t get more jury votes? I thought this was the typical aspects the jury normally would applaud - and the vocalist also said they had never performed better then when the jury votes was decided. Maybe with all the rock entries this year they didn´t stand out enough - it can´t be too odd because Ireland was a hit with the jury. Also given the total points it´s actually surprising Norway qualified for the final at all? I´m curious to see how they placed in the semi final. Norway has a track record of being robbed in jurys but I thought this would perhaps do a little better. Not even Denmark and Sweden gave us jury points
Oh well, now we tried and we will probably not see a entry like that again from Norway in the near future
They performed well so i´m hope they are proud of what they did, i´m not particular sad about this but just a bit surprised (but after all - Norway has most last places in Eurovision, it´s just been a while since last time). Apparently Norway can´t do well in Sweden either, last time I think we didn´t even make the final.
The Norwegian twins has said they would like to perform for Norway in Eurovision, so maybe next year we will send our fake Swedes?
Yeah, i would definitely change the scoring system. Because after the jury and public votes every country is ranked from 1th to 26th both with the juries and the public, i would score the voting for example - 1st ranked place 12 points, 2nd 10 points, 3rd 8 points, 4th 7 points, 5th 6 points as it was, and then songs ranked from 6h to 10th place 5 points, from 10th to 14th place 4 points, from 14th to 18th place 3 points, from 18th to 22th place 2 points, and from 22th to 26th place 1 point. And no 0 points in the final
I think if final scoring is based on something like that, it will better reflect general opinion about the songs. The problem is that general opinion about the songs is not in a best way reflected in the final ranking with this existing scoring system.
Now i see that she actually said that she, as a current winner, wont be the one to give a trophy to one particular country representative (which is the Eurovision tradition), if that country win
She rocked the stage 
The United Kingdom would like thatAnd no 0 points in the final
At least UK have dignity not to interfere with the public votes just because they can... Real zero is sometimes better feed-back than unreal three hundred somethingThe United Kingdom would like that
The truth is, they don't know how.

(God, Brits in Eurovison has been my favorite debate topic for years
The UK have the mightiest music industry in Europe but it is all radio based. They don't know other media. Eurovision is all about TV and the web. Like it or loathe it, the one who gets the biggest attention wins the public vote and the international media wave caused by Eurovision today is too wide to be affected by efforts of a music industry of a single country, be it "big six" or whoever. Brits would certainly help poor Olly the best way they could. However, the best they could was... to send a neat radio-friendly tune that got lost in the mix.
No disrespect here, the Brits were radio kings and queens for 50 years. (Remember the times when they used to laugh at Eurovision because their need for Eurovision as a promotional platform was exactly zero (pun intended)?) However, the technologies have changed. The role of radio has declined. It's all about the internet today. Eurovision proved to be internet-friendly and Brits are becoming serious. They understand the situation and they are learning, no doubt here. That's why they sent Sam Rider who had a viral social account. It worked; he finished second. But there are not that many Brits with viral social accounts waiting on the shelf when you need them. And even if they were, who said that a bigger media wave caused by upcoming news will not wash them away?
Put a finger on it!
