Jut before boarding their flights home, Ewan and Lisa-Jayne look back at the Grand Final and the performances, discuss the issues surrounding the online vote, and wonder if they will ever be allowed to attend another Festivali i Kenges.

    Thank you, Ewan and Lisa-Jayne for your sterling efforts in both podcasting and broadcasting. I was a bit alarmed to learn you were leaning out the commentary box window. If you had done that at the wrong point in the show you risked decapitation from a passing boomerang.

    From the relative safety of my UK based computer keyboard, I fully echo your comments about this year’s JESC. The staging and the LED effects were a notch up from last year and the contest had a worthy winner.

    However, the online voting was a shambles. In a contest where the online vote is supposed to be instrumental in deciding the winner, it simply has to work. I too got the white screen, meaning that this middle-aged fanboy’s increasingly desperate attempts to give a helping hand to a formulaic slice of Dutch kiddie-pop ended in failure. On reflection maybe no bad thing.
