The Eurovision Song Contest 2004

VOTING

Now with video links for the reading of the votes, we can see who is selected to represent the country concerned to all of Europe and everybody else across the world who watch the contest...

Note - the Maltese entry is incorrect, as is either the Greek or the Cyrpiot. I'll fix these pictures soon...

Andorra

Albania

Austria

They were making a bit of a party of it...

Bosnia

Belgium

Belarus

Switzerland (Confederation Helveticæ)

Wasn't she one of the singers in the Swiss entry this year!?!? :-)

Serbia & Montenegro

Cyprus

picture coming soon

Germany

You can see how seriously the Germans take it all!

Denmark

Estonia

Spain

A DOG of annoying proportions.

Finland

Odd lighting for this; and possibly one of the smallest DOGs ever!

France

Oh, le Tour Eiffel. Quelle cliché!
No DOG here, I expected '1' or 'F2' or something...

United Kingdom

Whatever happened to the jolly old bloke? This is Lorraine Kelly, and this is the largest of all of the vote picture JPEGs (in bytes, not dimensions) - it must be the dress she's wearing! :-)

Greece

And, behind him, if you're lucky, you might see somebody trying to build something in time for the Olympics...

Croatia

Ireland

It's a wonder there are 'Troubles' in Ireland, they always seem so laid back and friendly...

Israel

Iceland

She's cute...

Lithuania

Latvia

What a big, complicated, DOG!

Monaco

Mmm, you'd have thought they'd have asked Princess Stephanie to do this...

F.Y.R. Macedonia

No, it isn't Leanne Womack - honestly!

Malta

Netherlands

Norway

She is remarkably jolly, considering that nobody was voting for Norway...

Poland

# Oh Lord won't you give me a girl with a smile?
# He looks like an accountant, I'd run a mile!
# Maybe he's thinking of taxes all the while,
# so Lord won't you give me a girl with a smile?
Also, the kind of DOG that makes you wish they didn't have DOGs (like Spain's TVE).

Portugal

Mmm, there doesn't appear to be any DOG in this picture (the ARD1 logo (1 in a circle) is added by the German re-broadcaster).

Romania

( when I said "a girl with a smile", this is what I had in mind! )

Russia

Sweden

The only country to caption the broadcast, so say hello to Jovan Radomir...

Slovenia

Turkey

Ukraine

If you've come this far and are scratching your head over my varied doggy comments: a DOG is a Digital On-screen Graphic - those dumb logos that broadcasters feel it is necessary to insert into the television picture either in case you're too stupid to remember what channel you are watching, or in case you have thoughts of taping things and running off loads of copies as 'originals'; though whatever the excuse, some DOGs we can live with while others epitomise the very essence of "bloody annoying", and yes, this is all one sentence - call me Ally McBeal...
