[margulu]

norway were crap..no offence but they were!?!!?

[theDesensitized]

I'm Norwegian, and sadly I must say: I agree, I honestly can't see why people find this song so damn good...

[ellos94]

shut up...

[theDesensitized]

What? Each to his own, right?

[bacabu30]

Lys Assia looks well for her age. It's funny that Alexander lifted her like that - she's 83 years old!!!

[MissRealityCheck]

Lets give her a surprize

At 83 or so years old, that ain't a good idea

[babesx0x0]

uk was waaay better :)

[patriot050985]

Grreting from Azerbaijan!!

Norvey Congratulations!! u deserved it!!

[patriot050985]

The fact about Armenian Eurovision Song!! It was stolen from Azerbaijan!!

Plz search for this video u will see the fact!!!

Tofiq Quliyev "Naxchivani" Azerbaijan & Anush & Inga Arshakyans (jan-jan) (eurovision 2009 Armenia)

[aspetosi]

---The best thing in this song is that the sounds of violin are full of life---

----They are not like in the other songs where violin gives a dose of seriously and something very Important.....coming from Haven, lol

No.---

---The violin here in this song express, with its sounds, the Voices of an everyday Joyous life------and it fills us with Joy and Optimism-----especially for us , who are in a transition period -lool

---1st Place is well deserved for Norway

Greetings from Albania

[SaNBeanz]

I can uderstand why people find this song annoying but I still love it! Sorry but Dima Bilan looked like such a pimp.

[suzzzza]

Herlig at Norge vant. Skal vertfall se finalen live ja.

Norway is the best!

[oeprom]

1. Great Britain was the best on evrouision song contest.

2. I think чт Norway have bought 1 place as Norway was last in voting.

[bloxxster]

Norway is the best anny way

[360JeffHardy]

uk should of been number 1

[bloxxster]

no Norway rules so HA HA no just kiding, anny way nrway rules

[militar3]

I agree with the victory of Norway, but also I would have agreed with the victory of Iceland or France, because of it I do not understand such a high punctuation because it is nice but is not a spectacular performance.

[RobertPattinson4eva]

GO NORWAY

I LOVED THEIR SONG

XD

[ngaitom]

This song is extremely common, nothing special or outstanding at all whatever the melody, performance etc., anyway he got it.

[juloph]

who won last year???

[cckoc]

russia

[juloph]

of course! im a retard! who was it?? what was their song??

[littlerussiangirl1]

дима билан

[BlackGothicMusic]

i hate dima...

[Epica90]

I am fine with Norway they had a good song this year..

But I am disappointed that Sweden and Ukraine came in so bad places its really unfair!!! Hate countries who only vote for their neighbours even when their songs sucks so hard!!

[halogen123]

People say Ukraine won in 2004 BECAUSE of their neighbours...

[footyking77]

Alsou looked very attractive in that red dress!

[woahsurf]

haha he wasn't playing the violin live! i play violin and that certainly was not real!

[Dolko187]

Yea..But the rules stated that he was not allowed to play the violin live...

[mahmut12345678901234]

CBOOBIES

[chickflick0001]

stop it at 0:37 its a hearing aid!

[chickflick0001]

wat is that thing in his ear? a hearing aid? he can play the violin so well

[chickflick0001]

he is so cute and watever anyone bad says is just jelousy. bad people u know who u r!

[LukeMoroneyMedia2008]

Ha ha Alexander smashed the trophy it was in the sun :P  **ENGLAND FOREVER!!**

[freddyrocker]

this song should of not have won bloody crap i don't no why the uk gave it 10,the uk was much better than this,

[imkata1]

;-( :-(

[steaphris]

With so many singing in English, and scant regard paid to the other tongues of Europe, this competition has become the Novision. Boring. Variety is the spice of life.

[grancop9]

he deservedc to win

congratulations from...

[razvan1008]

fuck you

[6y6o4Ka]

Без обид, но это не первое место

It's nice but not the best nor 1st place

[imkata1]

;-(

[fossilfern]

Tell you what graham did a good job maybe not as good as terry but he was really good

[zokji234]

Graham rocks! Even though I didn't hear his comments but his Graham Norton show is really funny so I guess he did a good job! :D

[dargazeny]

...........

[woahsurf]

lol, voted for greece... :)

however, i did vote for uk... was so close but i felt the singing and music didn't mix TOO well together, the singing seemed to be high pitched all the time,

however they did give a massive performance!! and was impressed!

[DueSjit]

Well, haha,Greece was something special. HAHA. We all loved when he ripped his shirt, didnt we:P HAHA. Me and my friends thought he would make it to 2nd place, because of his belief in his own sexiness:P:P HAHA...

[zokji234]

I thought he was horrible. The song sucked and an old person ripping his shirt is soo not a good sight. Maybe for Johnny Depp! :D

[DueSjit]

Oh yeah! Agree:D

[drunckonscone]

oooo what are we argueing about is someone slagging of the british

[Chick6517]

NO ONE CARES!!! :) have a nice life and Yea.. i thats right.. i can take anything you can dish out. "o God there go my organs" lmao

[woahsurf]

why does this eurovision depend on the history and political issues??

forget WWII, forget the bad things just for one night, and vote for whom looked good, sang well, entertained the world. Be a big community again for the one night!

moaning that everyone would be speaking german if wasn't for england and so on is just pathetic, this is not about the war, this is about the world enjoying and laughing together!

and yes am british! so what!? i voted for what i enjoyed the most! so should you!

[DueSjit]

just curious, what did u vote for? :P

[steve1mufc]

you would be all speaking german if it wasn't for the British. About time you showed some respect and voted for great britain

[ulv1981]

this is the silliest comment i've ever read!!!! still uk's entry was one of the best despite this stupid comment

[DrakeBell260]

Yeah i agree with u our country should be showed a little bit of respect!

GO GREAT BRITAIN!

plz be my friend!

[zokji234]

Desperate much?

[DrakeBell260]

No im not desperate thx for asking!!!!!!!!!!!

[zokji234]

Well, sorry, but you seemed pretty desperate to me...Your welcome by the way! :D

[SivasSporLady]

other songs were better :-P

[hannahhansiesthippo]

xx

[confusedcockney]

i notest im not stupid like

igorvasilevsky

[igorvasilevsky]

Sorry, you are idiot..

[aka17Ruud]

All haters shut the fuck up!

This is best song!

Other like Estonia(my country) and Britain was very very good!! !

[iakyro]

DUD what's your age?...Than seems to be OK for smol children!

Farytail...

[lfellowl]

Norway was the best!!!!! if you didnt like it then dont go on youtube and listen to it!!! And he did not win becuase he is cute... his song was the best and he deserved to win, but there were other good songs. HE WAS THE FREAKEN BEST!!!

[DueSjit]

I so agree! Finally Norway won again, and we're all really proud of him. Gratulerer så mye Alexander Rybak!!!

[SivasSporLady]

i hate this song OTHER COUTRIES WERE BETTER as norway ( turkey,albania,spain,romania,a­zerbaijan were better :-D)

[Micke223]

that makes you gay

[cemnyc]

Why aren't the American stations picking this up.

[igorvasilevsky]

Because american stations censoring all information about Russia, especially when Moscow did greatest show.

This is uncomfortable for USA, because Hollywood propoganda still showing exactly the same stereotypes which were shown in perfomance (bears, vodka, bla bla bla).

USA continue to brainwash people..

[bonfirejovi]

actually its because they know eurovision has and always will suck.

[adeeba92]

weldone to norway im sure that they deserved it

does anyone know where the UK came?

[shydave]

The UK entry came 5th! : )

[02goodProductions0]

5th

[DrakeBell260]

R u from england?

cuz i am i know that we came 5th but thats still pretty good for our country considerin that they do rubbish every year!

LOL

XD

plz be my friend!

[bardo0007]

Norway got points from every country so stop talking about politics .

Everyone liked the song.

[Arjalineck]

theres no way 41 countries thought this was the best, i smell politics...... catchy song but not first... and its bullshit they beat lordis record... lordi owns this mofo

[lovebugzy26]

congratulation....

[ECTBWHO]

: P

[hersenlozeslet]

Norway goy points from every single country, all 41 of them. Averaging 9 points per country. Anyone who still says that Norway won because of Scandinavian voting or his Russian background is a complete and total idiot! Yes Takatuka, that would be you.

[natashamagdalenskaya]

Can't get the song out my head. Absolutely love it!

.....i'm in love with a fairytale even though it hurts

'cause i don't care if i lose my mind i'm already cursed....................lool

молодец поршивец на дворе 2 часа ночи а я только твою catchy песенку и гоняююююююююю

[woahsurf]

sorry but i thought the performance sucked

[Anax11]

Placeby is russian for thanks so basically the part he speaks is russian

[GGDfan4eva]

he's a mix between Zac Efron and Enrique Iglesias ... and a little bit of (the young) Brad Pitt, I think xD

[takatuka78]

He won because he is born in Belarus and speaks Russian. The song wasn't that good.

[Maremann]

What a bloody stupid comment. There's more countries in Europe than Belarus, Russia, Ukraine etc. So the fact that he's from Belarus and speaks Russian has NOTHING WHAT SO EVER to do with his victory. He is a charming and cute guy, with an OK voice and a really catchy song. And the points he got tells the story. Nearly every country in Europe loved him and his performance and that's that.

[onedream89]

Damn proud to be Norwegian!

Stolt over deg, Alexander Rybak!!

[igorvasilevsky]

What morning, dumb commentator? The difference between London and Moscow - 3 hours? Idiocracy and stupidity continue?

[confusedcockney]

You arse, if he he's in moscow he's on Russian time. At this time it was 11:15 in the U.K., SO IF YOUR CORRECT ABOUT THE 3 HOUR DIFFERENCE IT'S 03:15 IN THE MORNING IN RUSSIA, SO IT'S NOT DUMB COMMENTATOR ITS DUMB

igorvasilevsky.

[igorvasilevsky]

Sure, having the fact that 11:15 + 3 hours is 02:15 in the night)) Learn maths, dumb kid)

[seanthegreat183]

DON'T PICK HER UP!!! we don't want the evening to end in tragedy!!!

XD

[Greenhoff1]

Shite!!

[wayzotoichi]

Zach Efron...all across Europe (and the asian countries included like Israel..) the teenage girls voted in their millions and dropoped their umlauts for this High School Musical lookalike who can play the fiddle. Hail to the imps!!!

[AlphaDraconis7]

that singer looks like he's 10 years old...

[gkyriakntua]

please be a little more careful with your comments nidaros1112 because Greeks are also watching this video and the respective comments. First take a look at our history and culture and then make your comments about us.

[helix254]

Who else thought Graham norton was a good commentator

[RachelTheRobot]

i thought so - he got everything wrong but he was funny

[stead10rhythm]

i think that was kinda the point, he was mocking himself a bit. His little comments were funny and he was 10x better than Terry Wogan, he annoyed the hell outta me lol

[CrystalWebb]

their song was alright i suppose, just the fact that the singer lookes so aragont and he loves himself. cant believe he picked up the first euro winner :o

[JOCKATEO]

this song was shit but eurovision is a joke thats how it,s ment to be but i have to say some song were good this as i am from the uk and our song was shit i say one of the good songs was iceland or azerbaijan

[crazzer123]

wow they win due to politics. im surprised russia didnt win

[RachelTheRobot]

thats rubbish tbh. Norway got points of countries that were not their neighbours. People enjoyed the song: they voted.

There are political votes in the contest, but Norway didn't win for that reason.

[igorvasilevsky]

Russia had bad song because we don't want to make Eurovision twice in 2 years in crisis)) Though this 2009 Eurovision was perfect, better than Oscar etc. And it will be too hard to make something better than Moscow. Maybe next year we will win again)

[eleni313]

eurovision is shit!!italia has right!the best song was this is our night and sakis!!!fuck all the countries!!!what a music has norway?what music has finland?what music has azerbaijan?greece was the best!

[mamborockz]

all corners of the earth? it's just europe lol

[ainssssssssssxdddddd]

EUROPE KISS THE ASS TO SPAIN!!!!!

[ThePally1996]

its funny cos the guy at the start keeps talking over

[piewares]

the thing about the eurovision is that talent is inversely proportionate to final position. lets face it finland and spain were awesome

[Jawsehh]

eurovision is a heap of shit

[mancity1000]

lol @ "alright dont break her back, shes quite old" :D

[mrpompeyfc]

if you watch a bit after it has finnished on this vid he puts the trophy down and breakes it!

[YolantDeDe]

Ehhh....

Ukraine should Win not Norway :D

---

I invite for observing projection of Ukraine in Final Eurovision...

/watch?v=Dm9JqDVXWsk

Or Go to My Profil =D

[Elcrazyz1]

yes, you're right... Ukraine should win... :(

[SkinoReturns]

ukraine Sucked, face it!

[BlackGothicMusic]

o love this song!!!!!!!

[mixeddreams]

There song confussed me!

[xxBAMSTERxx]

where were all the wierd costumes and songs? it was actually singing!

[megacutygirl]

best 3 songs were turkey, iceland and greece.. i really loved iceland it was amazing. Malta was really good too

[mrpompeyfc]

yh malta should have won in my eyes! by the problem with sweeden you could not understand her!

[megacutygirl]

i don`t know why eurovision isn't any more the part of russia and neighbours only. island like us can never be competitive with such large countries..

i think we should stop doing the eurovision or people should stop voting for neighbours

[trenchfiller]

We have to face up to the fact that the song Jade sung was boring to death... And let me not mention all the previous sh*t we've put up... It's nothing to do with politics...

[PelataValo]

Yeah but they didn't vote for Neighboring countries

come one the euro vision is amusing

Lighten up

[aveenousb]

i love noway

[08CJ09]

com'on iraq

[RandomNameName]

Lol

"Dont pick her up, she's quite old"

;DDD

[Dancer18]

omg norway sucked!!!! he was crap

[megacutygirl]

i totally agree... i was really surprised to see that all countries voted for this song.

and you're not sexy at all boy you are like harry poter.. worser than him.

[samurailion]

Turkey should have won

As long as there r too many Scandinavian and Baltic countries in this contest, the voting system will count for nothing as these countries keep voting for each other.

oh bye the way, I do have a 7 year-old brother and he voted for Norway.. ha ha ha ...

[Howtheylikeit]

You live in turkey. You're soo biased

[keepmeupdated]

Uhm, everyone voted for him, not just Scandinavian countries

[therailwayinspector3]

WE CAME 5TH!!!!!!!

At least not last.

See UK, we just need a celeb to help out and we'll do well!!!

[worldcarrier]

what did he say???

[NarniaGeorgie]

WE WON, lol.

[Scarwood666]

gratz

[koksy]

"OO dont break her back- shes quite old!" LOL

[koksy]

Graham was great! SO nice to have somebody commentating who actually sounded like he wanted to be there! Graham came across as warm and friendly with just enough of Terry's acidic wit to keep us entertained without sounding bitchy. WELL DONE GRAHAM!

[hulubulu08]

This is what you think....the commentator sucked, he made NASTY comments about other nations, pathetic...

[kevkevr1989]

I agree, really funny, fresh and humorous! This year was a turning point for the EV, great job from Russia, and great Job by Graham! I watched it on BBC instead of RTÉ, as Graham was just hillarious! Must say, bit of an Irish feel on BBC, with Graham and the guy who did the semi's! Best EV for YEARS!!

[nickghosthunter]

well im sure all the acts will be forgotten about this time next year and everyone can bitch about the 2010 show.The swimming pool act was the best thing on there last night

[ephraim0000]

A Nice Eurovision completely RUINED by Graham Norton's infernal non-stop twittering in the background. Totally the wrong man for the job.

[originalchillie]

Er No! He was briliant, i was in stitches at some of his comments!

[ddemonicflame]

Wasn't really political voting.. Countries that hated eachother voted.. More like geographical voting - countries near them. And it still happened! The jury failed to stop that. I hope there isn't the jury thing next year. And what do those votes matter anyway.. the best still wins.

Wish there were more fun acts this year though.. Gratz to Norway though, they deserved it.

Also, glad to see Wogan gone, and hope Graham Norton is there next year too.

[pinkplaymate015]

i loved this and omg i think we shudve came like second wtf

[graffaxD]

Omg how could won this gay?

Turkey, Armenia and Iceland were much better omg.

Well, almost all were better than this gay.

[lilhannorbast]

did you see all the singers in the competition they were good looking/sexy/elegant then when Malta came on it was the biggest butch lesbo in the world im disappointed in my heritage

[joevictor53]

at least

its become a music competition again

and not just politics

i don't get why russia are allowed in eurovision cos surely they're more part of asia than europe

i've got nothing against russia though. i'm just confused why they are considered part of europe

[NorskeLink]

Disagree, why would they be more asian? Europe is more than just the western countries. Slavic and Russian I would definitely consider European. What about Israel though, which isn't even in Europe? Or Azerbaijan, which I think seem more Arabic.

[joevictor53]

yes but isn't most of russia in asia

i agree about israel

the only reason i said russia was cos of the political voting that happened last year

oh well that's not gonna happen anymore with the new voting system

[bulik12]

is there a new voting system???what is it?

[heslop01]

50% public vote and then 50% panel of judges who are professional singers or musicians
