If you life in Europe, this is something you probably know about, but if you don't then you might not have heard of it. Therefore, I will educate you a little bit about this musical event, and I will show you the three songs that placed in top three, in this year's contest. One thing that was quite cool about this year's contest, was the fact that the top three songs were all somehow related to Scandinavia.. :)
Anyways; here does the top three come:
1.) Norway, "Fairytale" by Alexander Rybak
- The winner of Eurovision Song Contest 2009 is... Norway! Well, first of all, I just have to say "Congrats".. :P
Anyways, this song was a clear winner, since it was 169 points ahead of the country that placed second! This song has become incredibly popular, but I don't really se why everyone loves it so much. Sure, he is very charming, and the atmosphere and the show on the stage are both incredible, but his voice isn't always a 100 %. I think that this song is okay, but there were many other songs that would I like better.
2.) Iceland, "Is it true" by Yohanna
- This song was actually one of my favorites, and I really think it deserved the second place (at least!). Yohanna has a great voice, and she really enhances the song that's already an awesome ballade. The song is also the kind that you don't get tired of very easily, but the kind that you want to listen to over, and over, and over again.
Love it!
3.) Azerbaijan, "Always" by AySel & Arash
- First of all, you might wonder what this song has to do with Scandinavia. Well, Arash, who is singing this song together with AySel, is partly from Sweden and partly from Iran. Anyways, this song just get better and better, the more you listen to it. it is a great party song to dance to, and it is a cool mix between western and eastern Europe, in terms of style.
So, now that you have gotten to listen to the top three; which one did you prefer? I think all three of them are quite good, but I prefer Iceland's song "Is it True". I have on more favorite that didn't place very well (in fact it came last in the finals) which was Finland's song called "Lose Control" sung by Waldo's People.
Have a good day!
