The voting is closed

Now it's time for Maria & Sakis to vamp a bit while the votes are counted. Sakis performed a song during the semis on Thursday. Tonight, we get a celebration of 4000 years of Greek song.

This gives me chance to sift through the Eurovision website, where I learn that Serbia and Montenegro withdrew from the competition. Because they pulled out late, they still have to pay the participation fee.

The BBC has a story about what happened: Serbia-Montenegro in pop song row. Montenegro votes tomorrow on whether or not it will declare its independence from Serbia.
