Sweden won Eurovision this year with the song “Tattoo” by Loreen. Many thought that this was unfair as she had won before in 2012 with “Euphoria” and, since then, she had grown in fame in Sweden.

There has been much discussion about which acts should have won, but both of them deserved the Eurovision stage!

The costumes looked incredible, like a bard fused with a Viking. But Moldova has never won Eurovision.

Many people agree that Croatia’s act was quite amazing. One of the reasons is because the men who performed danced around in underwear and dresses.

Germany has won Eurovision on just two occasions: In 1982 with “Ein Bißchen Freiden” performed by Nicole and in 2010 with the song ‘Satellite.
