Eurovision 2009 ~ Flash Back ~ Did Fairytale Deserve To Win?

In 2009, Norway thrived in the Eurovision Contest, scoring the HIGHEST ever score received in a contest, beating the previous record set by Lordi in 2006 (Finland). Lordi got a very respectable 292, coming first, beating 2nd place by 44 points. (2nd is Eurovision's very own Dima Bilan!) However, this record was to be beat by Alexander Rybak. Rybak received a giant 387 points, beating Lordi's record by 95 points. However, Rybak, to date, hasn't received the most 12 points, Loreen, the winner of 2012, currently holds that record.

But did Fairytale win because the song also good enough to win was held back through politics?

Herning - It's Actually Being Considered

'What a stupid idea! Holding the contest in Herning! It's such a dull city!' is about the best way to sum up what's going through every Eurovision fan's mind. And you're too right! Herning, a city that only has one requirement - a stadium - is actually being considered.

The United Kingdom Flops Because... (The Age Old Excuses)

In the modern time of the Eurovision (21st century), the United Kingdom has lacked success. And to not feel bad about it, we (the UK'ers) make up excuses. Well, I don't, in-fact, I think the excuses are pathetic.

My Favourite Song And Artist Of 2013

In this post, I will be telling you my favourite song and artist for 2013. Now, this could be the artist and their song or a song and a different artist. Now - I'm the kind of person who likes a bit of dance music and this year's Eurovision certainly wasn't short of dance music. In the semi-finals, some songs I can highlight that didn't qualify: Montenegro with Who See and "Igranka" and Bulgaria with Elitsa and Stoyan and "Samo Shampioni". These, coincidentally, were in my top ten for the Semi-Final 2. But neither are my favourite artist or song.
