The evening was very polished one and the presenters were funny and nice. The only incident happened when some clown that turned out to be infamous Jimmy Jump jumped on stage while Daniel Diges was performing. Honeslty I was thinking it's the backing singer - I have been here complaining about him stealing the show in the background and thought he was finally into the act and dressed for it, lol - but then I saw the security guys and went Ooh! Something similar happened in Helsinki 2007 during The Ark's performance. Luckily that was not seen on TV and didn't disturb the act.... EBU and Svante then decided Spain can perform again which was fair. Video is here.
UPDATE: Why it took the security to react for so long? They simply thought he was part of the act so I wasn't alone thinking that way first, lol! But then this makes it a bit scandalous, doesn't it? I guess the security close to the stage should know what's going to happen on stage and what is not supposed to happen. Mind you, some delegation might have had a great idea to have an artist jump to the stage from the audience to make an effect but this time they didn't. However, Spain had this backing singer jumping to the stage later in the song and Jimmy indeed blended in nicely. So, in that light it is understandable, but by no means acceptable!
