I just saw the voting as I'd been out that evening (thank goodness!). Here in Italy they were convinced that their contestant, Emma, was one of the favourites and she came 21st... They then got themselves all in a twist about her final performance as you could see her golden knickers!
As to the winner I did a double take thinking it was an elaborate joke of some sort. Aren't the Austrian's suppoed to be well - a bit strait-laced?
One in the eye for Russia being beaten by a bearded beauty in a lamé dress and high heels, given their stance on those of non-conformist/dubious sexuality - I wonder if "Ms Sausage's" performance was censored over there...and if they're now thinking of expanding their campaign in the Ukraine to include the Austrian upstart.
