Greece just misses top 5 in the ISC - worst edition

Mazoo and the Zoo did their worst they could but had to see 5 other entries were even worse. So Greece ended up in 6th place with 86 points (12 times the lowest score, but still just 44% of the points the winner Portugal -with 12 12's!!- brought home).

1 Portugal 195
2 Liechtenstein 140
3 Andorra 110
4 Hungary 99
5 Finland 94
6 Greece 86

Remarkably of the countries in the top 5 4 countries never won the Eurovision Songcontest (not even top 3). Finland just like Greece only once won Eurovision.

Sakis rumour and robbery of points!

After the results of ISC 32 were out and Russia won the international songcontest the rumour started to spread that the greek management might overrule their own still running National Final and should send Sakis Rouvas to Moscow. Men's Health started bringing the news, but nothing has been confirmed by any official.



In the voting it showed that there were many technical problems. Greece i.e. should have voted 10 points to themselves and the votes of Sweden were lost in the final.
In the ranking of the final it made a major change: after correction Australia qualified directly to the ISC 33 final instead of Argentina. In the corrected scores table of semi 1, 4 countries switched in ranking. This had no effect for the qualification to the ISC 32 final though. As a consequence Greece has fallen 2 places from 16 to the 18th position.
