Sweden Won!!

\o/ Next year the eurovision song contest will be held in Sweden for the second time in three years.
I'm extatic!!!
What actually puzzles me is... why Australia was in there? =/
they claimed it was an invitation to celebrate the 60th anniversary
somthing about "building bridges"
the true answer is of course money

but why did Australia send a 150 year old skeleton to announce the votes?
Well, since Australia goes to the World Cup via the Asian Football Confederation... I guess, competing in the Eurovision is NOT, say, 'surprising'.
You see, this should be about Sweden and I made it about Australia... I'm such a great person! =P
Anyway, in my opinion, 'Heroes' deserved to win – seriously. ;-)
nah, this was meant to be a thread about the ESC as a whole
So much to say, it's such a bizarre happening, like nothing else really
i just hade to express my happiness

its a huge thing in Sweden i guess, for many of us at least
some couldn't care less ofc, they can't stand the hysteria surrounding the event
the swedish qualification consists of 4 semi finals, 1 "extra chance" and the final, spanning six weeks in total
either you sorta like it like i do, or you hate it

I would fall into the 'hate it' category. I've never understood why sub prime acts are nominated to show case a country's musical talent. The whole thing seems an artificial pile of rubbish :(
oh no, it's an artificial pile of Awesome.
just like sports it brings forth the best and worst in people

why would I care if Måns Zelmerlöv wins or not? we are both born inside the same arbritary nation border and speak the same language. and that's basically it.
and still I felt euphoria when the winner was announced
and I will remember the moment forever
Zero points for Germany and Austria ... I'm glad that I wasn't the only one who thought that they were garbage.
The contest reminds me of an advert - "Can't sing, can't dance, you look awful - You'll go a long way!"
The only winners are the Czech Republic - they have NEVER managed to get to the finals! Remarkable feat considering the sound of a dentist drilling teeth is hotly topped as being next year's winning entry!
