I'm not saying that the eastern countries get all their votes by these politics, but I think most of it. Western countries do the same: my country, for example, always votes for "The Netherlands" and they always vote for us, "Belgium". Do you think that all the people in Belgium would vote every year for the same country and always giving 12 points? I'm pretty sure that people vote for other countries instead, but they (The Netherlands) always get the 12 points. I mean, when you watch the results, you know before who is going to give 12 points to who (Russia to Belarus and Belarus to Russia, etc.) Eurovision is just game of these politics and not of chosing the song that whole Europe likes.
Alright, Dustin the Turkey was crap and wasn't serious, but not every western country sends a crappy song (like Finland).
I'm not defending the song of my country, I like it, but other people in my country think it's crap; it depends on your taste in music.
I gave up on European and especially on American music a year ago, when I started to listen to Japanese music. Like I said before, there ARE eastern songs that I like (like the first two and the laundry one), but you can't deny that the whole eurovision contest is a game of politics; just like most things in our lifes that are controlled by politics but we don't know of.
