Stunningly beautiful song. Purchased immediately. I haven't given a shit about ESC since I was a kid, but in my opinion, that is the greatest ESC song since 1995 and Nocturne.

No, UK didn't come last, Norway did.
Nope, the right song won by miles.

I'm only interested if the UK comes first or dead last. No in-between for me.I wanted the UK to come last again, it's the only title we have a chance of winning.
Haha, despite coming 15th in a semi-final, this is the best result in years.

That's the way I see it. The other countries are jealous of the UK's world famous musical legacy!!

Actually, there have been some semis where the Netherlands came in 13th and 14th (but those always were a bit smaller than the ones this year), but since 2004, you guys never qualified. :<
What upsets me the most is that Bulgaria has the same amount of points as Norway, but Norway qualified (presumably the higher point scores were favoring it), which is a real crime cause Bulgaria's entry was awesome, whereas Norway rightfully ended up dead last in the finals. Shame.

Yea, it was terrible. -_-
Especially given how second place of the national final was a pop ballad that might've scored cause of the WTF factor of the singer.
pure quality, easily the 2nd best song after Euphoria.
Yeah Moldova was fun. Guy looks like a mix between Colin Farrell and Joey Barton which was a bit scary.

And yes that Estonia entry was amazing. Such a shame it didn't get the credit it deserved. Then again I did like the winner of 2009 which made up for it a bit.
I thought it was a bit run of the mill. Nothing really stood out.
I enjoyed the show but no songs stood out for me this year. My favourites were Italy and Lithuania. Didn't like the Swedish song at all, which makes me a minority among my countrymen as Australia also voted them in as #1 in our unofficial website vote.
What did stand out is my amazing Christina Hendricks level crush on host Leyla who I can find no further information about and thus informs me this is going to be a frustrating crush.

But I don't get it. Nobody likes Albanians is everything I hear around me.
