[@MYOOZIK]

2006-2008 were both terrifying and amazing years for Eurovision

[@theresnogoingbackk]

They were glorious-

[@gehamarakelyan3110]

Bosnia and Herzegovina is by far the best song of 2006.

[@Mainshow1]

We share the same Top 2! + Sweden, Germany, Romania, Ukraine, Belgium, Ireland are part of my Top 10 as well - Your taste is excellent!

[@dalves004]

My top 3 (from Portugal): 1 Finland 2 Sweden 3 Bosnia H.

[@stefanovatteroni4280]

From Italy: 1 Finland 2 Russia 3 Romania 4 Bosnia Erzegovina

[@adodoa4625]

Lejla is one of the best eurovison song of all time

[@aknigge]

Here are my personal votes/rankings, i'am from the Netherlands 12 points: Sweden - Carola - Invincible 10 points: Germany - Texas Lightning - No no never 8 points: Romania - Mihai Traistariu - Tornero 7 points: United Kingdom - Daz Sampson - Teenage life 6 points: Finland - Lordi - Hard rock hallelujah 5 points: Norway - Christine Guldbrandsen - Alvedansen 4 points: Greece - Anna Vissi - Everything 3 points: Russia - Dima Bilan - Never let you go 2 points: Switzerland - Six4one - If we all give a little 1 point : Malta - Fabrizio Faniello - I do

[@aknigge]

I gave my personal votes to the ESF eurovision songs performed in the Grand Final Show. It's a shame that Belgium - Kate Ryan - Je t'adore > wasn't chosen for performing her song in the Grand Final Show. Then i gave Kate Ryan (Belgium) with her song 10 points, after the 12 points song for Carola (Sweden).

[@vivienneforde2683]

Love Sylvia Knight shining so bright! My favs - teenaged Life, we are the winners, Lordi, Let me cry, Albania, , Ice Troje, Never let you go, Ireland's Brian, Leila. But after I've listened to all the songs after a while, I end up appreciating them all, even the bad ones!
