Thousends of fans were waiting for Lena who arrived to Hannover this afternoon with Sfefan Raab and the rest of the team. Later in the city center about 40.000 people met her in the welcoming reception.
Angela Merkel has also congratulated the 19 year old student saying she's "an example of the new young Germany". No good wishes nor comment of any kind from the previous and only German winner until last night, Nicole. She was only 17 when she won in 1982. Reporters tried to call her for a comment and only got her husband who hung up on them!
Mayor of Berlin has already welcomed Eurovision to his town in 2011, let's see how it goes. But they already talk about repeating the talent show that brought them Lena, this time titled Unser Star für Berlin, so... But Hannover and Hamburg won't let it be easy for Berlin - they want Eurovision 2011, too!
Tomorrow night there will be a special broadcast 20.15 CET on Total TV. One thing is for sure: Germany has gone LenaCrazy! And 61,6% share for the final in Germany on TV last night.
Not only Germany. BBC writes Lena brought the Eurovision to the 21st century. The Spanish El Mundo one call her the German Lolita while Le Parisien approves her look: little black dress, open hair, cross in her neck, it's Gothic chick! Kronen Zeitung from Austria thinks it's good Lena ruled over pathetic ballads and didn't need any tricks on stage. Maybe that's something that will bring Austria back in 2011? In Finland in Iltalehti's poll 52% of the voters think the right song won. Indeed Finland also gave Germany 12 points ladt night.
