Ok we got it wrong big time this year with Junior Eurovision. Our tip, Malta, came 8th!
The voting was exciting, and just as the points of the last jury came in, it looked like Armenia was going to win, but FYR Macedonia gave them just 1 point, and handed victory to The Netherlands. For Armenia it's the 2nd time they looked like they were going to win: in 2007 they had victory snatched away at the last moment.
So congratulations to Ralf and his catchy entry Click Clack. Perhaps the fact that Ralf sang after a series of girl performers helped, especially as, we guess, most of the young audience would be girls, who would probably want to vote for a boy.
So 2009 has been an interesting year with two Western countries winning Eurovision and Junior Eurovision. It looks like the addition of juries has helped balance things up, and now, provided a country has a good song, anyone can win.
Hooray - after a decade of difficulties, Eurovision looks like it will enter the 'Teenies' in good health.
