"once again, as soon as the winner is known, and it's impossible to reach him even though the voting is still on, they will announce the winner, and the voting will continue afterwards." - escextra

At least, everyone can stop complaining about that it was SVT who brought the idea last year

How do you know it wasn't EBU?

Why would the EBU sabotage their contest like that? It must have been the SVT because it would take the winner a while to get on stage. That was absolutely horrendous and anti-clímax and now your Danish brothers continue the tradition, even if the Green Room is bloody close this year -.- that's a pity, because apart from some messy camera work, this edition rules.

Because the local broadcasters doesn't want any delays in their tight commercial schedule Therefore EBU wants to save time.....

They did it last night in the fake voting, so that's confirmation enough.

They did that in the rehearsal last night, they announced Montenegro as the winner when they could not be caught and then continued with the votes

Since I think it is going to be a tight race tonight they won't probably do that until there is only about 1-2 voters left.
But honesly way to ruin the excitement! Imagine them doing that 2009!

I did say that but obviously he wants it all official.

I really hope it doesn't happen tonight. It kind of ruined the whole build up.

Some people will be too drunk to do calculations and think "ooh this country could still be caught" but if they announce the winner as soon as its mathematically won then it will ruin it

I never do any calculation but you get to a point where it is easy to see who will win.
