How do YOU vote?
So, when it comes to the semis and the finals, do you have a method for how you distribute your votes? Is it always the same or does it change each year?
My OH and I have wildly different approaches. I use all my available votes, but scatter them around my top 5, so my favourite will get say 8, second favourite 5, and so on until they’re used up. My partner, however, will just pile everything on his favourite. One of my friends is different again. She generally only watches the final, will pick one or two she really likes, throw them a couple of votes each and then not use up the rest. Do you use all your votes or does it depend on the year and how much you like the songs?
Do biases ever come into play? Is there a country that you’ll always vote for regardless? Or one you’d never vote for no matter how good their song? Would you vote a country through the semis just to give them a chance even if they aren’t a particular fave? Or perhaps avoid voting for countries you think will sail through? How important is neighbourly voting? Do you feel obligation to vote for countries close by? I’m just generally interested in everyone’s methods.
