Eurovision 2013

---

Belarus [link] and France [link] wore similar dresses. One more sparkley than the other.

Netherlands [link] Can't be seen in the video, but it started with a clip of the singer boxing the air on top of a house, followed by her singing of birds falling from rooftops...

Malta [link] The only way they could have made it cuter would be to have puppies perform the number.

Moldovia [link] was supposed to be a volcano, but I have to admit it reminded me more of an upside down ice cream cone because of her hair.

Italy [link] looked ever so adorably confused and like he was asking "I don't have any money. I hope this is good enough" which paled awfully next to Romania's [link] glittery vampire that would send Edward Cullen running for his money.

Azerbaijan [link] had a man in a box, and was very close to winning.

And finally the Nordics.
Finland [link] had a lesbian kiss at the end of a song to her boyfriend.
Iceland [link] had Marvel/Hollywood Thor.
Norway [link] had a super tight dress.
Sweden [link] had a guy sweeping his dancers off their feet.
And Denmark [link] won Eurovision with an *ahem* golden shower.

There was LOTS more going on, such as a giant [link] and hipsters [link] but dammit, I only have so much paper.

I do think it's rather sweet though that the winning song "Only Teardrops" is actually about Europe and a plea for everyone to get along.
