Sweden last hosted Eurovision in 2000. The country had its fifth win, tying with the United Kingdom for second most wins, both two behind Ireland's seven wins.

This entry from Denmark was one of those songs that was a clear winner from first listen. The tin whistle hook, the catchy chorus, driving beat and eye catching performance, even if I wanted any other song to win.

This entry is notable for being the first song denoted as a "remix." Hungary's song is a gentle guitar led indie pop ballad sung completely in Hungarian.

This is what people watch Eurovision for. BBC Commentator said just after this performance that it "proved that just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should." I disagree, he definitely should have.

When two cosmonauts, as Eastern Europe calls them, entered stage in a glare of green light rapping in Montenegrin - the Eurovision weird factor went up ten notches.

Cascada are a globally known German dance-pop group with many massive hit singles including "Everytime We Touch" and "Evacuate The Dancefloor."

This song reminds me of a bad rip off of "Unbelievable" by EMF. While that song is an essential piece of nineties nostalgia, the Latvian copy just irked me.

Many people ask why countries don't send bigger artists, usually citing British acts but they don't realize that often or not countries really do send their best.
