Eurovision: In Photos

Published on May 17, 2009

The annual bonanza of the bizarre, camp and dam right barmy is now over as Eurovision 2009 is won by Norway. We take a look back at this year’s competition, held in Moscow, which once more feature a line-up that would raise eye brows even at a SF convention!

Eurovision 2009 might have featured the expected line-up of barmy acts with barely understandable lyrics but Political/Bloc Voting wasn’t so much of a feature as the competition brought back the Jury system to compliment the tele-voting!

Greek entry which was widely expected to do well but wasn't so hot with the voters Yes away from the hands of those pesky Europeans who like to vote for their neighbours half of the voting power was transferred over to juries for each country – which actually meant that we got some points! In fact we got a lot of points and ended fifth – just demonstrating the sheer effect political/geographical bloc voting had one the competition.

Swedish entry Below are just some images from last night’s competition which was held in Moscow. Yes Norway might have won with a tame song, compared to some entries, but the night is still worth celebrating and marking!
