eurovision if youtube were judge

So the year is 2009 and we got - youtube, iPods, iPhones, etc. Yet a singing competition known as Eurovision is "voted" exclusively by phones. I find that a bit so 1980s style.

Ok, enough my yada yada. It has been a long day for me. Anyway

How would Second Semi Final Eurovison 2009 results look like if Youtube were judge. Why I think Youtube is a good juddge

o) Majority of people have youtube access i.e. 2/3 of population (yes I know could say the same for phones). But the point is in second point;)
o) People can watch the videos on their own time and not at a very limited time frame (when the competition is aired live)
o) People will watch/listen what they like numerous times giving it deserved higher rating

The results of Youtube rankings in bold if passed to final via phone voting

Views are from the official eurovision youtube channel for the music video (no rehearsals)

I expected the results to be different i.e. that phone voting will not be the best but I guess that phone voting is not such a bad judge after all.

The only surprise here is that
The Toppers – Shine with 439,359 views didn't go to the finals.
