Oh maybe this explains AZE's 2nd place: Farid is gay

In his country this could be dangerous for his life so let's not say that!
Esma should only listen to her performance ..that's the answer to her questions about her nonplacement! Emmelie is gay? Lena was gay? Such a lame excuse for her own mistakes!

LORDI???

Gay???


OH MY OH MY OH MY

Duh, I forgot they were singing GAY.... ROCK.... HALLELUJAH

Has Eurovision been fixed for years? TV bosses probe claims that Azerbaijan has been offering bribes in exchange for votes
Executive claims that Azerbaijan and four other countries have been using underhand tactics to win votes
Allegations made that Azerbaijani delegate offered 'enough money to live for a year' in exchange for high scores

For years, British complaints that the Eurovision Song Contest is a fix have been dismissed as sour grapes.
Now, however, it seems that our concerns may have been justified.

Foul play? An executive from an unnamed Eurovision Song Contest country has claimed that Azerbaijan is one of several countries offering bribes for country's votes.
Second-placed Azerbaijan – which has been awarded the maximum 12 points by Malta for four years running – has been accused not only of attempting to bribe jury members but also paying Lithuanian students to vote multiple times.
And FYROMacedonia has been accused of trying to set up a vote-swapping scheme with other countries to ensure a high place.
The claims were made by an anonymous official involved in this year’s competition, which was held in Malmo, Sweden.

The insider was contacted by several delegations keen to arrange vote-rigging schemes, they told Swedish newspaper Skanska Dagbladet.
The executive, from an unknown delegation, claimed the Azerbaijani contingent offered ‘enough money to live for a year’ in return for high points. The source added: ‘I know of at least three other countries that are doing this kind of agreement backstage, even if they have not contacted me personally.
The source made allegations against Azerbaijan, whose 2011 winning act are pictured, left. UK entrant Bonnie Tyler, right, also claims to have overheard Russians asking other countries where were the votes that they paid for

Farid Mammadov, representing Azerbaijan, came second in this year's competition prompting suspicion as the country was awarded 12 points by Malta for the fourth year in a row
In May the Azerbaijani delegation was accused of handing out mobile phone SIM cards to Lithuanian students and paying them to vote.
Lithuanian news website 15min published a secretly recorded film which allegedly shows them being offered €20 each by Russian-speaking men to support Azerbaijan in this year’s final. The country, which hosted last year’s Eurovision and won in 2011, regularly receives maximum points from countries including Lithuania, Malta, Bulgaria and Israel.
The Azerbaijani entry this year, which finished second to Denmark, was Hold Me sung by Farid Mammadov.
In June this year’s UK entrant Bonnie Tyler claimed she overheard Russians asking why they didn’t get votes they had bought. The singer, who came 19th out of 26, said: ‘The next day the Russians were complaining to Azerbaijan – “Why didn’t you give us the ten points we paid for?” ’
Another source said: ‘I am not surprised [by the claims]. On the night, Bonnie  got the biggest reaction in the arena,  and all over Malmo she was mobbed. It was almost impossible for her to get such a bad score.’
Eurovision Song Contest event supervisor Sietse Bakker said the corruption claims were being investigated by the European Broadcasting Union.
Cheryl Baker of Bucks Fizz, who won the 1981 contest for the UK, said: ‘You’ll always get people voting for their neighbour, but taking money, I think that’s shocking. It’s turning a joyous occasion into something sordid and nasty.’
