NORMAL LIFE: Was The Semi Final A Fix (Eurovision)?

I just happened on this page from the Eurovision Centre website and it tells of how all the countries which qualified from Thursday's semi-final were from the East and Central Europe and questions whether or not the results were fixed. Apparently, vote-by-country data will be revealed shortly which should highlight who voted for who.

Heads of the UK and Swedish delegations expressed concer about the result while the head of the Greek delegation claimed not to be surprised by the result. Meanwhile, a Director at the European Broadcasting Union has expressed concern, indicating that if this trend continues then countries may start withdrawing from the show altogether. What a shame it would be to lose this show - I'm just dreading the moment when the UK goes home with about 20 points!

Is there tactical voting going on, or is there simply an East-West divide when it comes to tastes in music?
