Please Lisbon may we have your votes ... quickly!!!

First they took out the orchestra, to save the host country some money. In the same year (1999), the free language rule was introduced again, to make the whole contest more international!!? In 2004, because there where far to many countries taking part in ESC, the semi-final concept was introduced. And now the votes are gonne...
I imagine that to prevent neighbourhood voting we will have regional quarter-finals in a few years (countries of the South quarter-final with Portugal, Spain, France, Cyprus and Greece. The central europe quarter-final with Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Switzerland and Austria. The nordic quarter-final. The former USSR quarter-final. The Balkan quarter-final). That is if good old ESC still exists after this bad songs year and with these crazy changes.
The EBU says that the viewing figures of the contest are comming down, specially during the voting.
I dont not exactly what the viewnig figures have been like in the last couple of years, but I dont think that cutting on the votes will make more people watch the entire show. Its like the Oscars giving minor awards on the ground of the Kodak Theather. It just didnt work and it wont work in ESC either.
The Eurovision Song Contest happens only once a year. The costs of the show are supported by the participating nations, by publicity and merchandising. The winning artist always gets a n.º 1 single in a couple of charts. Prime time commercials also give a lot of money to national broadcasters. So, what is the problem? Why change a winning formula?!
The Eurovision Song Contest its not only good because of the songs, its a tradition. A moment where european countrys gather to celebrate music and happiness, but its also a contest. Announcing the 1 to 7 votes on screen and reading only the top marks will just make the all thing too fast and mechanical.
Please EBU we want and like to feel the rythm, but dont take away the emotions...
