    Congrats with the win. Well deserved, I believe. I did not watch the show--but I did look at that video that you sent the link to..
    Well done, Norway!

    Yah!! Rybak did so well last night, and i sat on the edge of the couch when they started to tally the voting. I was in tears when he won. The Halling dancing is so traditional, and just breath taking to watch, Rybak did well with that pairing of dance and song.

    I had 3 other countries i really liked also. Iceland, Armenia and Moldova. I am so glad Iceland won second, she was very very good and deserved it!

    Again. Yah, Norway!!

    Wonder who will meet him at the airport? lol. (every young girl out there i bet, he is such a cutie)

    Thank you Sjoerd. :D

    I do agree, Biita, he's a cutie. I wonder where next year's final is going to be held. Last time it was Bergen, wasn't it?

    The last time it was held here was in Bergen.

    Thank you Palm Tree. :D I'm afraid I will be very tired of "Fairytale" very soon. They're playing it everywhere now.
