Outrageous! Unfortunately he's not the first, and he won't be the last, to get off on a technicality. Shut the f*ck up, b*tch! The only miscarriage of justice in this case is that this rapist is released!

I wonder how it will succeed in the US. A big part of the charm of the ESC was the multitude of languages and musical styles that were represented. That's changed somewhat in recent years, especially since the language rule was abolished and you no longer have to sing in the official language (or one of them) of your country.

Songs from Greece and Portugal sounded different than songs from the Netherlands or Norway for instance.
