Talking [APP] Eurovision Song Contest

Hi everyone

After the semifinals yesterday I thought I'd download an app for keeping track on the artists in ESC. What do you know... Couldn't find one...

So I put a simple one together so I'd have one for the finals.

The newspapers always have a page where you can grade the contestants, but I thought it'd be nicer with an app for us techies.

The app shows the contestants in order and allows you to see the lyrics for the songs. It also allows you to rate the contestants with a 5-star system and write notes about them. On one page you can see them contestants listed in the order you voted.

Since this was made in the matter of hours I didn't really put the energy to support light theme... so if you want to use it during the finals, switch to dark theme.

This app won't go to the marketplace, but if there are any dev geeks here who'd like to install the XAP and run it, it is attached for your pleasure.

It might seem stuck at start but give at a few secs and it should run fine... Heeey what do you expect from a few hours work. :P

Anyway... if you like it... compensate me by sending a phone vote for the Finnish contestant. I'm not from Finland, but Paradise Oskar kicks butt.

Haha. I was considering building one for the finals, but I couldn't find an easy way to get all the data without hard coding it all in - seemed like more trouble than it was worth!

Heh... sorry about the late release date, but it was released on the same day it was built

In regards, to the lyrics I made a quick and ugly hack to get it in quickly.
I pasted the lyrics into a function in VS and made a regex-replace and surrounded each row by a stringbuilder appendline :P

Yep.. ugly... but faaast
