"We believe it was a proper moment for introducing new voting system," Executive Director Svante Stockselius said. "It is fantasy. Both TV audience and professional jury voted for the same participant. Some of them finished with higher results thanks to TV viewers from all European states. Vote publication ceremony was also predictable for me, despite overwhelming support for Alexander Rybak."
