The best song finally wins! This 2005 Eurovision Song Contest was better: no much politics (apart from the Baltic and Iberian blocs)! Greece even took 12 from Turkey, and that I am told has never happened before... the winning singer Helena taking votes from almost all others. I found that it was a great Greek woman with a great performance. Well done! Keep it up! Greece seems so be winning a lot lately, and that's nice from a country of just about 11 million inhabitants. OK, the song was in English, and I personally would prefer to listen to country singers sing in their own language (although I fear that if that's the case, we would still be watching the Festival in Ireland... no, no more, thank you), but this winning song also contained music and style of Greek tradition and history from many parts, including the Macedonian history of Greece!
