Alexander Rybak won the Eurovision 2009 Song Contest in Moscow for Norway with his song Fairytale.  It is a landslide victory (387 pts) with Iceland at 2nd place garnering 218 points.  It also made history as the first time breaking the 300 points barrier.  In the selection in Norway he also won by a never before seen landslide with a margin of 600,000 points to the 2nd placer.

Finals in Moscow was 16th May last night but the voting ended in the first few minutes of 17th May which coincidentally was also the National Day in Norway!  This meant that there were a lot of partying this weekend!  No complaints there!

That also means that next year will be crazy here in Norway during the month of May.  Looks like this is gonna be the schedule … 

16 May 2010 (Sunday) – always a big football game in the big cities.  

17 May 2010 (Monday) – National Day.  Lots of parades and parties.

18 May 2010 (Tuesday) – 1st Semis of Eurovision 2010

20 May 2010 (Thursday) – 2nd Semis 

22 May 2010 (Saturday) – Finals

Question now is… which city will host?
