Eurovision Song Contest Carola
Saturday evening the Eurovision Song Contest 2006 was held in Athen, Greece.
The whole Swedish people (almost *lol*) was watching, to see how the Swedish contribution the song Invincible by Carola was performed. Though we had no doubt that she would be outstanding.
As always, she gave 100% when she was on stage and did a killer performance. She really is impressive in all ways. What an amazing voice she has.
Well done Carola, to end up on 5th place!
And Congratulations to our neighbours Finland who won for the very the first time and with such a strange contribution as a song called “Hard Rock Halleluja” performed by a group dressed in monster costumes…!!!
Though I must admit, it did make me feel very old and antiquated… How on earth can a song like that win the song contest? With a hoarse hardrock voice? My only guess is that it’s mostly youngsters that is voting.
There were a lot of real quality songs participating that should have had better places than they ended up with, Finland took many high points away from them. The competition was tough as always.
Whatever the results may be, it’s always interesting to see the different countrys contributions.
It’s a real show night - really wonderful European music entertainment.

NOTE: They say that they may sell in the idea to the rest of the world too, so in the end we can have a World Song Contest - wouldn’t that be something?
