Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

Let's continue the series and kill some time having a look at the last decade and see who were the Top-10 best scoring countries in the Eurovision song contest in the past ten years. The ways to calculate are many and here I have used the simple average placement method (and it's not all so serious). Next up is Romania at n.o 6. Romania has had a very steady finish in the contest last decade; only two top-10s but all the rest 12th-17th. Until two close non qualifications to end the decade with. And then there's of course the disqualification in 2016 for TVR for repeated non-payment of debts that made Ovidiu Anton stay home in the last minute with   Moment of silence . Moment of silence indeed that year!  Hotel FM is the one I have completely forgotten over the years.... but Romania has surely provided some unforgettable moments with Cezar, Ilinca and Alex for example 2010 Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing with fire - 3rd *** 2011 Hotel FM - Change - 17th * ...

Mengoni was fangirling when he met Lauryn Hill and Francesca met Fernando Alonso and lost her cool, too Cezar asked the mirror Who's the prettiest of them all.... ... and saw Claudia taking a selfie. ... while Eric looks more and more like Måns, doesn't he? Dima had Christmas aka checking out the sponsor goodies. You know, more you have more you get. For free. Samples, Gifts. Stuff.... Guy had a body makeover, said goodbye to his back and hip pains and is pleased with the result.  So are we.  Anouk instead... well, she's got a dozen kids. Imri's got only two. Proud uncle he is. Litesound are just proud of themselves. Look! it's us! Pasha is still celebrating the wedding with some stunning photos while Il Volo took part in a charity tennis tournament and Tooji did Pride.   Andras was getting ready for a gig.... and Gualazzi cont...

The Barbara Dex award, or the award for the worse dressed went to Serbian trio of dancing cupcakes Moje 3. Their win was very convincing - over one third of the 2747 votes went to their direction. At the same time the trio announced they have split up. These two events are not related, it seems... :-) The runner up was Cezar from Romania followed by Moran Mazor from Israel. Read more here . And all the winners are here .

The pre-show with Gina Dirawi has just started here and her first guest is Loreen. She talks how her life has changed after winning Melodifestivalen and Eurovision 2012.... She is followed by the most wonderful "dracula queen", the most talked performance in town this past week, Cezar from Romania! He's honored to sit on the chair warmed up by Loreen! Then Charlotte Perrelli is asked why she's such a big gay icon. (Well, look at her! lol) Then crazy fans are interviewed and showed all around Malmö. Then the devil himself (that what many think, I definately don't!) Christer Björkman visits... It's all about flow, he says. All songs in the line up get to shine and France opens as it is an energetic, modern song by an artists that has attitude. He says the meaning is to make a very long show feel short. Makes sense. Stop blaming him and think about it a little, ok? Lys Assia was next interviewed by Mark Levengood who tells his grandfather was her fa...
