Hehe.
Why are the Aussies so bothered about the Eurovision, huh?

He was born in Belarus, that's why
Anyway, it seems that Alexander has won the Contest, congrats to him and to Norway. It certainly has been a while. I wonder if anone is going to raise the question of East-Mafiya now...
Olso 2010! Great, I can visit my uncle's family over there.
Going into tonight's final, I had to ask myself one very important question: how horrible can it get?
-The only way I could have possibly put up with this year's talentless parade of losers was to drink copious amounts of vodka, and guess what? I just happen to have a couple of empty bottles of that cheap plastic-bottled sh*t beside me as I am typing this.
-I would like to congratulate the French for finally developing the cure for insomnia. Not only that, but their entry looked like she went 12 rounds in the ring before she went on stage.
-Well Iceland, its true: you suck.
-I'm all for saving the planet, but someone forgot to tell Greece and Malta that the way that they practiced recycling isn’t in line with how its supposed to be done.
-Looks like the Maltese entry either had a few too many Maltesers, or decided to host the Chin family reunion.
-Lemme get this straight: the German entrant was on Oprah? Really? Forget about Tom Cruise v. the couch, it looks like we now have a new Most Infamous Oprah Moment of All Time.
-Finland's entrants were surrounded by the fires of Hell, while epileptics the continent over are still recovering from the egregious overuse of strobe lights.
-Sadly, the link-up with the International Space Station has proven once and for all that not even outer space is immune from this sh*tstorm.
-Highlight of the night is the moment's silence held by the person reading off the results of the Slovenian vote. The reason why he held it? His precious little country had missed the final for the second year on the bounce. Thanks to him, the moment of silence has officially jumped the shark.
-The post-contest confetti blizzard was missing one very important thing: leafblowers. Why leafblowers, you ask? It turns out that one of the winner's back-up artists was using his shoes to remove as much confetti from the stage as possible.
Finally, on a somewhat sad note, I'm announcing my retirement from doing the comments. It has been a great ride, and I would like to thank each and every one of you for enjoying my take on the night that Europe decides to laugh at themselves, and each other over the last seven years. Don't worry, I'm not going away from the forum altogether, but I've decided to cut the cord from what clearly has become my claim to fame around these parts. I planned on stepping away two years ago, but after many of you gave me + rep, I decided to keep on going for a couple more years. Now, I've come to the decision that this is the right time to hang up my sh*t-kicking boots once and for all. If you'll excuse me, there just happens to be one more bottle of cheap-ass vodka calling me...

Yeh, so hopefully with a more equitable system more countries will join again.
Austria especially complained about this East Mafiya bs; and there are rumours that Italy could even join again. They last competed in 1993.

The azeri and icelandic girls were awesome! As for the norwegian song, othe chorus and the violin part were magnificent. The other parts weren't so awesome...
For those of you who didn't see it, here's the winning performance by Alexander Rybak at the end of the show:
@ nor-rbk: What does he say in his little speech that's in Norwegian? From what I understood it was something about everyone being awake in Norway and everyone partying untill the morning. Is that right?
In Russian he just thanks Moscow and all the people in the world who liked his song.
Congrats Again to Norway! A beautiful song with a beautiful performance; the derserved winner by miles.

Directly translated:
"If there is anyone at all alive in Norway at 11pm tomorrow then you are welcome to meet me at Gardermoen (Airport). That would be really nice."
More than 3000 turned up, which is A LOT in Norwegian measurements(?) and considering the airport is quite far from Oslo. I don't think he thought through that comment before he said it.
