This year there are several songs in the European single charts. Lordi from Finland jumped in the UK charts on place 25, in Denmark they are on 8th rank! For the first time since ten years, a UK entry came 8th in these charts with Daz Sampson.

Since Lordi's stunning victory, the country of the Midnight Sun is in a state of emergency. Hundred thousands of Finns met in the city centre of Helsinki equipped with white-blue flags and masks.

What a magnificent show! Europe has decided and for the first time in Eurovision history Finland received the crown! If you have followed the voting it has become clear during the first third part that Finland is leading. Their song "Hard Rock Hallelujah" has reached the hearts of the Europeans.

Since hours, Digame - the responsible company for the voting - is living in that box. Nobody is allowed to enter or exit. The box has been sealed by a notary and people have to stay until the end of the show. Manipulation can be precluded. In the moment when the voting time is over - the EBU already knows the final result.

The day of the first two dress rehearsals is over. The Greeks are really going to make a magnificent show. Many things are flying in from the sky: a big golden bullet larded with people on it, as well as the hosts Maria and Sakis. At the right beginning Helena Paparizou is presenting her new song as well as her winning song "My number one".

After a real exciting semifinal the ten highest qualifiers have been found: Russia, Macedonia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Lithuania, Finland, Ukraine, Ireland, Sweden, Turkey and Armenia!

We thank you for the comments. We are always open for criticism but as we are an independent website we are also having an opinion. There has never been said something negative about Lithuania or about Lithuanians.

There is not much time left for the semifinal's decision. Who is going to make it into the final? Only 10 countries from 23 can qualify.
