Tbh, it was a bit hard this year for me to choose. I was between Hungary, Czech Republic, Albania, Bulgaria, Turkey and Holland... I finally decided to vote for Czech Republic as I simply hate that stupid superhero costume!

Use this link to see the dress that Barbara Dex made herself to wear at the 1993 ESC. She also says her opinion about the Barbara Dex Award.

Albania by a mile!! Especially if you include the backing dancers aswell.

i voted albania just because of the green spiderman wtf did he have to do with the song?!?!?!

I was gonna vote for Albania ... but then I remembered the cheap awful dress from ....

SWEDEN !!

Just looks like a sheet of eslatic with feathers at the end. It made Malena look fat and ugly ( yes even uglier ) and it was just FULGY !! ... it looked like she brought it from Aldi or Poundland ... yet it was like 34,000 euros - I wouldn't even want that dress for free !! ... someone needs to give the swedes in fashion ... 2009, 2008 - eeek, 2007 - suit the song but eeek, 2006 - meh, 2005 - meh, 2004 - eeek, 2003 - eeek but that was the fashion then, but still eeeek ... maybe they just buy all the clothes from Ikea ?

I really don't like this award because people just judge outfits without taking the character of the song into account - like in 2007, yes Verka looked awful in a general sense, but she was meant to in order to create the image of the song.

I voted for France because I didn't like the dress at all. It made Patricia look far too 'restricted' and like she had one arm longer than the other.

OMG !!! ... is all I can say to the likes of you now !! .... but I did vote Sweden so it cancels it all out really

lol i heard from an albanian newspaper in an interview with the composer( or was it the choreograph?) that the green spidy is her "dream" prince but because of her young age, he has no face yet and is still just a prince who takes her into his dreams....

i will vote for hungary or bulgaria...

I voted for Hungary. His clothes and the combination of colours were horrible

But he looked daaaaamn good in them am I right Chris?!

VOTE HUNGARY!

they need to win something
(the Hungarian has demanaded!)

LOL. Yes I do, but don't tell anyone

I think I'll vote for Hungary

I'm regretting voting for France now don't get me wrong, I still don't like the dress but Patricia is so elegant she could pull of a potato sack! AySel on the other hand...



...just looks daft

OMG !! II LOVE YOU SHEEP !! I am soooooo saving that picture- AMAZING dress, the purple thing sucked - but look at her undies !! they go down her leg !! *is in heaven*

Yes, you are, but I hope you're not forgetting about Igor, hmm?

You should indeed regret voting for France! She had the best dress of the entire evening!!!

Congrats to Hungary, he looked dreadful

I'm so proud of Gaydok.

On the other hand, Germany didn't get nearly half as many votes as I thought it would.

Probably the people who can't seem to differentiate between the 'tricky' concepts of "not liking a song" and "not liking an outfit" in their simple little minds...

I think it's incredibly hypocritical that Hungary won, most of the people who voted on this poll were probably gayers, and they were most likely too busy cracking one off to pay proper attention to "Dance With Me" when it was being performed
