Eurovision Song Contest 2009 Final Results:

1. Norway (387 points)
2. Iceland (218 points)
3. Azerbaijan (207 points)
4. Turkey (177 points)
5. United Kingdom (173 points)
6. Estonia (129 points)
7. Greece (120 points)
8. France (107 points)
9. Bosnia & Herzegovina (106 points)
10. Armenia (92 points)

Overall I think we regained a bit of pride, with the new voting system definatly making SOME difference, that said it still looks like votes for your mates as many of the countries were voting for their neighbours, or people they have had some difficulties in the past, sad really but atleast a good song won for a change.
