Here the competitor Dagur Sigurðsson with “Í Stormi” or “Saviors” (in English) made an impressive stage show.

As guest stars there were the former winner Emmelie De Forrest (Denmark 2013 “Only Teardrops”) and last year’s Swedish performer Robin Bengtsson “I Can’t Go On”.

About me:
My first Eurovision I watched was in 1987, Brussels. Since then I am following the ESC with great enthusiasm. The greatest fascination for me is the fact that the entire Europe is watching the show at that specific night. Since 2010, Oslo I am a member of the eurovisionlive.com team. I had the chance to witness the second German victory with Lena. My biggest wish would be to have the orchestra back, as it used to be until 1998.
