Eurovision results

We had a good time watching Eurovision tonight, but the really insane acts were few and far between. I really enjoyed the act that won (by a landslide), which was from Norway. The performer, Alexander Rybak, actually wrote the music and lyrics too.

Jade did a great job and finished 5th, which is a fantastic showing for the UK.

Dedicated to Joel, here's the Albanian entry. The performer and song were actually pretty good, but the random masked green man was bizarre.

Thanks for sharing. All I can say is - WOW - what talent. They go all out with singing, dancing, acrobatics, fireworks, etc. Very entertaining.

I feel like Albania has an inferiority complex that comes through when they participate in the arts. It is as if they say we are not the armpit of Europe, look how artsy we are. So that may help take some of the edge off. I thought the winner this year was ok, a much different sound than last year. It was kind of a folk tune, it guess it creates good will for the competition that the Eastern countries aren't colluding.
