Bets settled. Russia win.

Veteran Eurovision Song Contest commentator Sir Terry Wogan has cast doubt on whether he would be involved in covering the event again.

He said it was "no longer a music contest" and that prospects for Western European participants were "poor".

He spoke out near the end of his TV commentary after Britain's entry Andy Abraham had finished joint last of the 25 finalists.

Russian heartthrob Dima Bilan romped to victory with a massive 272 points with a big ballad, produced by US R&B star Timbaland, called Believe.

The contest was held in the Serbian capital Belgrade and was due to be watched by more than 100 million television viewers across Europe.

Sir Terry said 43-year-old former dustman Abraham, who found fame on TV talent show the X Factor, deserved more votes from other countries than he received.

He said: "It's a disappointment, considering that Andy Abraham gave, I think, the performance of his life with a song that certainly deserved more marks than it got."

Referring to certain other songs in the competition, he added: "You have to say that this is no longer a music contest."

And he said: "I have to decide whether I want to do this again. Western European participants have to decide whether they want to to take part from here on in, because their prospects are poor."

He did not want to take anything away from Russia, though, which had won comfortably.
