I'm surprised this didn't get a mention (unless it did and I missed it?) but this has to be one of the more bizarre winners, has it not?

A classically Europop-tastic winner, although I couldn't help but wonder if a more confident English speaker wouldn't have been able to punch up the vocals.

(like this one... this was done by the other finalist for Germany's spot in the competition. Stronger vocally I'd say, but the slower composition would have gotten it thrashed at Eurovision)

I was going to watch it but it slipped by without me noticing until I saw a news article on who won.

I need to listen to the radio more. Or watch more ads.

I really wanted the guy from Belgium to win, he reminded me a bit of John Mayer.

Its acts like the one from Estonia that are the reason I watch.
Can't believe he didn't make the final:p

Nah, that rendition is fail. I'm not saying Lena is the most talented singer out there but the main appeal of the song is the quirky offbeat melody and the fact that her English is pretty bad. Slowing it down and taking that bizarre edge away just turns it into a sloppy mainstream mess.

Tom Dice? I liked his performance, very chill.
