I can't believe we won. We're finally over the Nicole-Ralph Siegel-trauma. 
ETA: And it even gets a 'breaking news' banner on Spiegel Online.

So Germany win with the Strictly Come Dancing theme tune! 
We won!! I never would have thought it possible!! My congratulations to Lena!
Her hometown Hannover is only about an hour away from where I live. So this literally hits very close to home...
even though I was soso on the song.

So Germany and Turkey are in Eastern Europe now? 
What the heck just happened? We won?
Has Hell frozen over?

Well the German song was catchy...but as my g/f says, surely if it's been number 1 in Germany and playing throughout Europe for weeks that gives it something of an advantage?
We didn't deserve to be last. He was ok and the song wasn't that bad...but we didn't deserve better than mid table. We really need to get Cathy Dennis to write our entry next year.
There was some right shite that scored way more votes than us, and it always amazes me how the Balkan states vote for each other...I thought they hated each other!?
I'm surprised Ireland didn't do better, thought it was a good song and a v good singer.

I know, I know. Let's hope we don't win the World Cup, too. Otherwise we'll get into an over-euphoric frenzy.
At least a country won who put money into the event won.
Not a suprise in many ways as the song had already topped the charts over much of Europe.
The UK song was a disgrace more than usual though it perhaps deserved to finish a little higher. It is always quite funny that we have produced some of the greatest bands of all time (solo artists too) yet we can't get it together to even challenge anymore. Anybody credible would never enter worrying they would damage their carea.
The German way of selecting their artist was better than ours, if a little more complicated.
The trouble is the whole thing is too camp and frankly a waste of time in terms of discovering new talent. A shame they did not let Morrisey enter when he wanted to.
I did quite enjoy Graham Norton making jokes about everything.

I have only one thing to say about Armenia : 1m95 is too tall for a woman
It's not if the male is equal or slightly taller. Sometimes it's nice to not look down upon people but be with someone on equal eye level. The effect is rather mesmerizing.
I has mad prophetic skillz!
Anyway, I quite enjoyed it. Most of my other favorite songs were however in those mid-places. I'm one of those weird people who liked Russia's entry.
But I'm mostly happy with the end-results.
I also made a pity-vote for UK.
