Btw is it just me or was this edition unusual "warm" and engaging between the acts and the acts and the public as well? I feel like even with all the COVID restrictions, the acts interacted more with each other than usual and with the public. I think that the producers were onto something this year, the NikkieTutorials sit-downs surely helped as well as far as engaging with the public. Usually we have some random interviews on fan blogs like Wiwibloggs, but it's not the same thing.

In it’s 14 cents for one call from landline and 20 cents for one SMS. Calling from your mobile is a bit more (about 50 cents).
Pretty cheap actually. Might have to do with the fact that the company that gathers all th votes from Europe is a German one, based in Cologne.

15p to vote here
one of the very few positives of being a UK Eurovision fan in the 21st century

Since it is cheap here, I allowed myself to vote 20 times. When I read how it sometimes costs elsewhere, I am not certain if I could have voted so many times!

I have sent 1 vote for Danemark in the SF.
5 votes for Ukraine and 3 votes for Russia in the F. (didn't vote for Italy because I knew they would get anyway lot of televote points here).
So... 9€ spent.

1 krone in Denmark (so a seventh of the price in Finland) plus standard text price (which I don't know what is, not much I think). I was thinking if low pricing can increase the risk of fraud. On the other hand, a high price can cause less people to vote and thereby giving less people (those who do vote) a lot of influence on the result.Just for curiosity: How much money one vote costs in your country?

35.6 ден or around 0.5€ although it might look cheap keep in mind our wages are about 20.000-30.000 ден (325.47-488.21€) so I was only able to vote three times (for in the semi-final, and in the final).
How you voted 40x, when you can vote only 20x?
Edit. Do you mean 20x on semi-finals and 20x on GF?
20x in the semi and 20x in the final.

What do you think about the scoreboard?
There was a slight evolution, when they added up the points in a separate column this time, which was something that I liked.
Nowadays, there is no charm to logos. Every design is optimized for smartphones, but on a big ass TV screen, I still want to see texture for the HD resolution.
Other than that, I am not fond of the blue background, the pink rankings and the very bright flags. I miss the scoreboards from 1996 to 2016. Every year different and mostly nice.

The scoreboard is awful as well, because it is so simple, and lazy. It feels like time stood still in the graphic department.
I kinda like the reformed logo since 2015, but I am worried they'll ruin it soon enough as well.
