Greece and Turkey (America, Greek)

[Djamila]

I think Eurovision voting is a curious little glimpse at European politics. For those who don't know what Eurovision is, think of American Idol with a representative from each state. They all perform one song in one big night, then the whole country votes and the results are given state by state.

Here Turkey votes, and although Turkey gives 10 points to their beautiful daughter Bosnia and Herzegovina , the 12 points goes to a big surprise. Greece.

Kind of generic pop song...

At least it has a little bit of a Greek rhythm. I like Greek music.
