The show was very well done and the only thing I didn´t like was that they edited out the Electro Velvet performance (yes, I was still hoping), as skeptists predicted.

Btw, I had absolutely no idea that song "Save Your Kisses For Me", which is very well known in my country thanks to several Czech cover versions, was originally an Eurovision winning song. I have such gaps in my ESC education... :oops:

It has the best record for average amount of points, it may not have got as many points Norway did in 2009, but it got a higher average of points from each individual country. Every country gave it 8 points or higher, apart from 3 from Ireland, 4 from Italy and 7 from France.

UK's 1976 winner got over 80% of the total vote - that's second best all time among all scoring methods (behind Luxembourt 1973) and the best under the 12-point system xacademic

Yes Loreen's hair was horrible, I don't get what the super greasy/dripping wet look was about.

That´s impressive, especially considering the silly choreography. I will add it to the list of Czech crimes against Eurovision. They let us believe that it´s song from Helena Vondráčková and her frequent partner in crime Jiří Korn:


Happy Birthday, BTW.

Will the show be available on SVT Play outside Sweden? And will there be subtitles or voiceover?

I loved the "if you can name off the top of your head the four times London's hosted the contest, then you know you're a true homose... err, Eurovision fan" :lol:

The hosts were the starts of the night. It was supossed to be about the songs, but there were no memorable performances.

The ratings in the UK were not as good as was hoped, acccording to ESCnation it only got 1.8m in the overnights, less than the 2.9m overnight for the UK's national final in 2010 which was shown in a similar Friday night slot. I thought the show was great, hopefully the official rating will be alot higher!

In Greece we say a phrase "The good day looks how it is from the morning."
But we use it in an ironic way.
That is what happened with this show.
It all seemed from the begining.
