The cypriot jury made a complain to Cybc that they hadnt voted Azerbaijan, not with a single point, thus according to them the 8 points were suspicious. Cybc investicated the matter and found out that the televoting results were enough to give the 8 points to Azerbaijan but, and the but should be highlited, the Azeri song received 3500 sms only and not a single phone call. All the other songs received mixed number of calls and sms's. They believe that a large amount of telecards were bought and distributed to a group of people to cast their votes. I do not know at this point whether Cybc will proceed and make an official complaint or not.

That's fishy. Given the map pointing out where the votes for Azerbaijan came from, there were no significant points given to Azerbaijan from outside the Ex-USSR except for the small mediterranean island of Malta and Cyprus.
I smell voter fraud. Another example why votes for a country should be limited to one.
It was a great performance, and definitely the best Azerbaijani entry so far, congratulations!
I don't know how you do it, but there are always rumours about Azerbaijan "paying for votes" :S Of course all countries can vote whatever they like best, but some things are just weird (Malta gave 12 points to Azerbaijan and got 10 points from Azerbaijan, no offence but WTF)
Anyway, I think this deserved Top10

I have been saying this for some years now... sorry to Azeris.. but the behavior in ESC have been very fishy from day one.
And EBU ofcourse being hungry for cash doesn't bother.

^ if it is true then Europe has corrupted system. All i know all votes were under control of Germany this year.
But it doesn't make any sense, if it was true then why 4 th? let be 1 place forever.. no no no.

Yes, it´s the german company "Digame", which counts the televotes (don´t know if they can do something against corruption there)

Dude it doesn't make sense at all,then why 4th place?
As if 4 is bad? Anyways you got your #1 last year, it would have been too fishy two years in a row winning

#1 last year was lucky and random. Lowest score ever for a winner, lots of "nul points", only three 12 points (from Russia, Turkey and - Malta) and the Turkish diaspora embraced that song, since Turkey failed to qualify.
We could have seen a completely different winner, with Turkey in the final.

Well, if the same tactics were used as this year (and I happen to believe so), that win was anything but random.

I don't find a big pre-favorite and a well-performed entrance winning fishy.
I do however find a not very big favorite with a quite bad performance winning sort of strange... and the random 12's from countries like Malta each year. Well, I rest my case.
Sabina however did a good live job, I can't argue about that.

My taste? Sorry I don't control pre-voting, betting and fan sites. My taste usually differs from the general taste.

Aha, well she did a good live job. I can't say I'm overwhelmed by the entry however.

And may be most people thought like you and that is why she didn't win. Also thanks god that she didn't win and turkey either. May be now you will blame us for winning too )) anyway i am very happy, Sweden won. She was my favorite too.

Cyprus' jury: 0 points to Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijan gets 8 points from Cyprus
Israel's jury: 0 points to Azerbaijan, but Azerbaijan gets 8 points from Israel
No more comments needed... Azerbaijan was one of my favorites this year, but if they used this tactic to get a top 5, then sorry, but they are not playing fair!
