Euro top of the pops...yeah!

Congrats to Sweden for the tour de force that won them the 2012 Eurovision song contest.

It was a tough contest, with the usual tactical voting between countries with ties...makes it quite entertaining viewing. Cyprus gives Greece 12 points each year and vice versa....

When did Azerbaijan and Russia become part of Europe anyway?

Here's the winner..

And the UK came 2nd last with this....pure class...how could we loose?!

He's still got it...face like a well worn couch.

Eurovision, bringing culture to the world....

[mazolaman]

Not forgetting...

honourable mentions for....

Ireland's entry...Jedward.

You've gotta love em.

And just look at those Russians go!

Eurovision...culture with a k.

Mr Roboto?

culture with a k.

culture with a k = Kultur, a german word that has very deep sense, a concept that was extensively studied in philosophy. Kultur versus Bildung, etc. My philosophy courses are a bit far now…

And I thought we were worst with that "beaver" character.... nope!

[Hamlon]

I don't really care for eurovision but I'm glad we won it. Without a doubt the best song this year. I also liked the Dutch song but I don't know if that made it to the final.

Had this sent to me from an aussie friend.

"initial reports are suggesting the Swedish Eurovision venue will be built with over 8000 alan keys and missing 700 peices "

I think you are taking the Eurovision in to the deepest philosophical territory that it's ever been....

Kunst is another German word that fits almost perfectly in this situation.....

And I thought we were worst with that "beaver" character.... nope!

While he is pretty awful, I would think some of the central and Eastern European stuff was horrific.....

I think I have about 200 Ikea allen keys...somewhere...

Mr Roboto?

Mr Roboto seems to have far too much musical integrity to be involved in Eurovision.

[Omskakas]

This is our song, an embarrassment, really.

[CaptainQuintero]

The French should have won purely on the hotness of their singer!
