The Swedes set a brand new standard for Eurovision, so the Danes were in a daunting position to out do their neighbors.

The was most divisive winner in the whole time I've been watching the show. The winner's looks and message got worldwide coverage including in the USA.

I actually really liked this song from the UK, especially considering the usually lacklustre songs they had been sending since 2003.

Their performance sort of reminds me of what watching an early 90s Red Hot Chili Peppers concert would seem like while tripping on acid.

What can I say about "We Are Slavic," often just called "Slavic Girls," that can't be said by just watching their risqué performance.

This was an extreme dark horse in the competition. I liked it but I wasn't so sure it would do well, it'd need to have a fantastic performance to get into the final.

This is a strings led folk rock tune that got on my nerves. When it comes to country music, for me, I want it melancholy and this was too cheerful.

The Netherlands continued their new trend of sending high quality, radio ready songs.
