Man, I hope Italy doesn’t get banned from JESC 🙁
Ofc it won’t be like that 😀 No one wants to cut milk cow, so EBU will do the same.
So in Italy’s televoting Italy almost won in the televoting with finishing just 2nd! 😛 hehehe…I just rest my case really! 😛
Well expected for Bulgaria & Albania to finish 1st & 2nd when there are so many immigrants from these countries living in Italy..
So Malta’s 3rd place is just fantastic when given these circumstrances with the diaspora..
Oh…Armenia finished just 8th in the italian televoting…Really not good place if you consider that Armenia only lost by 9 points over the winner Malta..
