How fan-dabi-dozey!..... the peeps at the European Broadcasting Union changed the rules for this years semis after an onslaught of Eastern bloc voting friendliness last year that saw all final qualifiers from the East... for 2008 they decided on two semi-finals with countries strategically separated to try and avoid the worst excesses of neighbour/ex-pat voting... and by lordi it seems to have worked!. The second semi tonight has confirmed that every single Nordic country from Iceland to Finland via Norway, Sweden and Denmark have qualified for Saturday's final while the likes of Belarus and Macedonia (who would have been guaranteed a place a year ago) bite the dust. What a result!.
The ex-pat powerhouses of Russia, Ukraine, Serbia and Armenia may well still triumph on Saturday but tonight is a night to savour.
