Eurovision Song Contest 2013 Grand Final
The 58th Eurovision Song Contest to take place in Malmö, Sweden ended in 26 countries competing in the Grand Final after 2 Semi-Finals earlier in the week. Estimated to have been seen by more than 170 million viewers. The opening started with a Eurovision Song Contest anthem, We Write The Story, by Benny and Björn from ABBA in collaboration with Swedish DJ sensation Aviccii. Petra Mede, a Swedish comedienne, was one of the first person in the past decades host entire show, a role often split between 2 or more. She additionally performed "Swedish Smorgasbord", a song and dance number during the interval, that was a lighthearted look at the Swedish Culture and people. She hosted wearing dresses which were all designed Jean-Paul Gaultier, who is also a big fan of the contest. The 58th annual Eurovision concluded with Emmelie de Forest, of Denmark, taking home the trophy, a short drive over the bridge from Malmö to Denmark, the second time Denmark had won when Sweden hosted.

Good story, Not enough for a whole film
Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
At the timer of writing this review, the UK has just picked it's entrant for the 2017 contest, so it seemed an appropriate moment to dig out my DVDs of past contests. This review is based on the official DVD. 2013 was the year when it struck me that the standard of songs was really going up. Sadly that didn't apply to the UK entry. The BBC having apparently learned nothing from the disastrous result for the UK of Engelbert Hupmperdink's performance at Baku in 2012 selected another aging pop star in Bonnie Tyler - not as old as Engelbert but still well past her prime. Viewers weren't going to vote for a mediocre song just because Bonnie Tyler was singing it. Looking back at the contest, although there was a good quality and range of songs, I don,t think any really stood out, although the winner deserved it's success. Of course there was the usual collection of oddities, the amazing falsetto voice of the Romanian entry, and what was Azerbaijan all about? the staging of it was really odd, but the bonkers elements are part of the fun of Eurovision. Credit must also go to the Swedes for their presentation of the show, particularly to the host Petra Mede who did an excellent job of presenting. Also enjoyable was the song Swedish Smorgasbord she performed while the votes were being counted. Overall this was definitely one of the better contests.
