  • All countries were given 12 points at the start of voting. This was so no country got nul points.
  • When Cyprus got 12 points from Greece the audience was absolutely crazy about it, even though Cyprus were nowhere near winning the contest and Greece and Cyprus regularly gives each other 12 points.
