Wohooo, Norway won the Eurovision 2009 tonight info


I'm soooo proud, since "we" won the Eurovision Song Contest tonight.

387 points for Norway, and Iceland in 2nd place got 218 so it was a pretty good margin there..
387 points is also a new record since it's the first time anyone has got over 300 points there

Here's the song from the Norwegian Final
Alexander Rybak & FRIKAR dance company


I'm not going to turn on the radio for the next couple of weeks since this song has been on constantly the last month, and I'm pretty sure it'll get worse now..

We shall go always a little further,
it may be beyond the last blue mountain barred with snow,
Across that angry or glimmering sea..."

Ah Eurovision. I remember watching that. A few years back there was this crazy Austrian guy who had held like 500 different odd jobs and then sang about how much he likes animals. Sounded like some weird crap you come up with while high on some powerful narcotics. He didn't place too badly either.

And congratulations to Norway.

Yeah, this was a new voting system which produced a much better quality Eurovision. Most of the songs worthy of serious consideration this time, the Moscow production was fantastic, and the winner was brilliant and well-deserved victory by that margin.

Congratulations Norway - nice one.


English by the grace of God.

Congratulations! Not a bad song. But I like the dancers better. Very cool!


Not liking me will always be your problem. Never mine.

Yes, the dancers are amazing

Here are Frikar's (dance company) youtube channel, more great stuff from them there.

They were also used for motion capturing the dances in the (Norwegian) Online Game Age of Conan.

Congratulations to Norway.

Even worse, I've always thought that Iceland is part of North America. Time to study in geography.

Got confused with Greenland then. Though i'm not sure if Greenland is usually thrown in with North America politically. Though it should be geography wise.
