I'm not a hardcore fan, but I try to watch the final every year.
I think this was one of the best contest I have seen in years, Austria did a great job hosting this event.
Songs fell in two categories for me: pretty good and utterly bad. In my opinion, Sweden's song belongs to the latter. I was really impressed by Latvia and Montenegro, as well as Hungary. The belgian guy did a great job.
Things I did not like. The "boycott" against Russia, it doesn't exist on this planet that they didn't score a single point in countries which normally flood them with high scores (i.e. Cyprus, where 30% of the population is nowadays Russian).
The BBC commentary was simply horrible, and I found most of the jokes offensive rather than funny. And I normally like harsh and offensive jokes. This year was really over the top, just pointing out how shi**y everyone is, but UK is the best. You can comment and make fun of what you see, but if you are incompetent and you understand nothing about what happens on stage, then you better shut up.
