I loved this. I mean LOVED. I knew this had to win. Everything about this is a yes from me. "Euphoria" was a game changer. I may have loved a lot of songs from Eurovision but nothing beats "Euphoria" in the entire, now, fourteen years I've been watching. It is my all time favorite Eurovision winner.I loved Hungary, I loved Cyprus, I loved Albania and Russia that year but nothing could beat Loreen's awesome synth-dance track. It's the best of Swedish music in one slick package. Loreen is also a fantastic performer, her vocal style coming from her Moroccan heritage. I played this song for weeks on my radio show. I still listen to this song and the album she released later. I'm a huge Loreen fan and it all started here. A legend began in Baku and it was truly euphoric! ...I know that was cheesy, but hey, it's Eurovision!
