Eurovision 2010
Eurovision is a freaking joke-goldmine to me!
Norway won last year, so they hosted. This was their song this year [link]
Sweden didn’t get in this year, and usually they’re among the favourites. The Swedes were not happy about that at all, and there has been a lot of talk about boycotting Eurovision next year. The song that didn’t get in [link]
Finland didn’t get in either, but they didn’t make much of a fuss. Their song [link]
Iceland gave 12 points to Denmark but only got 3 in return. They were not happy about that at all, and they have made Facebook groups just to complain about that. Their song [link]
Denmark ended up as number 4, which pissed the Swedes off because the song writer originally offered it to them but they said no, so instead Denmark chose it. Denmark’s song [link]
Spain had trouble with a fan who ran onto the stage and meddled with the dancers. [link]
Greece had a very testerone fuiled show and “OPA!” has become a quite popular word. [link]
UK came in last as they often do. They say it's because everybody hates the. Their song [link]
Turkey got in second place, and will be remembered for a long time for their “robot” [link]
And of course Germany won with the song “Satellite” [link]
I have to admit that I love when countries that enter with a minimal stage show wins.
Oh, and a small group of Americans had sneaked in were waving American flags. So out of place and silly.
And let's never forget the wonderful flash dance [link]
Gotta' love the woman in the Swedish house who waves a gay pride flag. Oh Sweden, your closet is so transparent.

@LizzyJH *sigh. Isn't that always the case? It's always about politics and popularity. I never watch the music contest shows shown in America since it's obvious the winners aren't chosen based on talent, but on who's popular. (Usually who the audience thinks looks the best). I hate that, it means that there are less and less talented people in the music industry as these shows seem to effect what people listen to.

@tigercub123 The voting is quite often more political than based on actual singing. Hence the Scandinavian countries all vote for each other. It isn't uncommon for countries to vote for their neighbors
The UK often claims that's why we always lose as we only have Ireland to vote for us.
The voting is 50% public phoning up and 50% officials. The officials more than likely don't want to piss off their neighboring countries.

Having checked out the links and listened to the songs (the ones that worked) I have one question: How did Satellite win? The only way that Germany could have picked a worse singer is if they came to America and got one of our idiot bubble gum pop stars. (Come on I know you guys can do better, I've heard better music from Germany). The Turkish song was cooler, and the singer a better musician. Keep in mind, this is just my opinion so please don't get mad at me if you don't agree.
