I do not understand these negative comments around Azerbaijani entries. Those who say that Azerbaijan cheated in 2013, do you have any evidence? Can you stand for your words and proof it with valid sources, investigation and proof?
The video where some weird men allegedly paid money to a student from Latvia or Lithuania to vote for Azerbaijan, it was nothing else but stupid fake provocation against Azerbaijan. I can make similar video about any country I want. One student that received money could not bring any points to Azerbaijan and also why this student would vote for Azerbaijan instead of buying a beer with that SMS money. Unfortunately, some people fall into the trap of this provocation. They keep posting every year that Azerbaijan buys votes. Please proof it with investigation sources. Words without proof, does not sound solid.
There is nothing wrong that Azerbaijan received points from the jury but only 3 points from televoting. The song was targeted more for the jury than for the average Eurovision audience. Australia had the same result if not worse. They received 123 points from the jury and only 2 from televoting. However, no one accused Australia of 2 points against 123 points. Both singers have voice, if Nadir would not have voice and receive points for nothing, I would be more surprised than you.
By the way, the highest jury scores in semi-final 2 for Azerbaijan came from Spain (12 points), Germany (10 points), Serbia (8 points), United Kingdom (8 points) and Finland (7 points), Estonia (6) and Cyprus (6). So if Azerbaijan bought its place for the Grand Final or something, then that list of the most corrupt countries looks not good.
Last year, the UK got double 0 from both televotings and jury. Germany got 0 points last or previous year. So what? Both of them were in the final. Was it honest that they automatically qualified by taking someone else's place? In 2017 Anja Nissen got 10th place in the Semi-Final 2 with low televoting, which was only 5 points (she got 1 from the Netherlands and 4 from Norway). She got 20th place in the Final. Did she buy any jury?
I will not tolerate accusations, insults, comments, discrimination against any Azerbaijani contestants. I did not like Nadir's song or last year's Mata Hari, and in fact I did not like many contestants from this year, who received high points. But it does not mean that I should lost my manners and make bias comments about them. Sadly for me Belgium, Finland and some others received low points, and Moldova and Serbia received high points. I know that people have different taste, it does not mean that one bought votes and others did not
