Grattis Sverige! Congratulations Sweden!


So there we have it.  The fabulous Loreen romps to a runaway victory for Sweden and I couldn't be happier for my fave ESC country!

I'm disappointed that Engelbert didn't do better in the voting, and the same for Tooji of Norway.  Spain came Top 10, which is a big improvement for them - and I still think she gave the performance of the night.

The grannies were second, and Serbia took the bronze medal.

I hope you've enjoyed my coverage of Eurovision 2012 in Baku, Azerjibin - and I look forward to sharing all the nonsense again with you all in 2013 in Sweden.  The provisional date has already been set as May 18th, and it looks like we'd be heading to the new "Friends" Arena in the Solna district of Stockholm.

So finally, I think it's right and fitting to sign off in the very same way that I began my 2012 coverage... with a few words from (possible 2013 presenter!) Lynda Woodruffe (aka Sarah Dawn Finer).

Amaaaaaay-zing!

    What chance Lynda Woodruff to present Eurovision next year? Spain was the runaway winner at the little party I attended (although Estonia got top marks from me and from a cat that sat transfixed in front of the tv for only that song). Thanks for all the tales and images from Baku. Dale

    Yes, the best result possible in the end given the shameful voting taking place. I thought Spain won on the night, with Sweden, Estonia and Germany all close behind.

Semi 1 - Great result!!!

It wasn't just Jedward who were ecstatic with last night's Semi 1 results!  9 of the 10 I predicted got through, and the one I got wrong was Austria, with the fabulous Hungarian song going through instead (and that was one of my faves anyway). Apparently Romania had huge problems hearing their track in their in-ear monitors, so they were relieved to get through.  They drew to sing in 14th position. We got some interesting insider info via some delegations at the after party (which finished at 6am this morning!!!).  Apparently the Icelandic 12 didn't go to Denmark as expected, but to Cyprus!  Fab performance from Ivi, and I see this going Top 5 on Saturday. We also heard that the Cypriot 12 did not go to Cypriot singer Eleftheria, who is singing for Greece, but to Albania, and the amazing Rona, who delivered a fantastic performance which had the audience on it's feet. But it was Gorgeous Pasha from Moldova who had the best luck of the night

Well, I love all their sugar, and those nice blue cocktails that they were serving at the party they held last night at any rate. Here's the fab girlies from Serbia.  I just LOVE  Sara's smile (the one next to me). Me and Juha looking like a Finnish Comedy double-act!  With the lovely Jody and Monty!
