Bobbysocks, Christine, Euroband, Christer
The esctoday.com 10th anniversary party
Last night, to celebrate and share our own little moment in Oslo, esctoday.com's team and readers were treated to special performances from 1985 Eurovision Song Contest winners Bobbysocks, who performed four of their hits and Christer Bjorkman, who brushed off the disappointment and heartache of failing to reach the final as head of the Swedish delegation to take his place with fellow fans and perform his Melodifestivalen winning entry from 1992.
No fan’s party would be complete without the ultimate Eurovision Song Contest fan tribute band, and with Iceland’s 2008 entrants Euroband flying in without so much as a thought for an ashcloud. With three medleys of Eurovision song contest classics and their own song This is my life, they had the crowd buzzing.
As a special treat esctoday.com manager Barry Viniker was invited on stage to dance with Bobbysocks during their performance of their 1985 winning song for Norway, La det swinge, the winners of the first Eurovision Song Contest he watched. Barry Viniker then thanked all of the esctoday.com readers for making it the number one Eurovision song contest web site. He also praised the hard working esctoday.com team for keeping the Eurovision song contest news updated 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

OSLO 
-- Wonderful show !!!! ...
The interval act SINGERS with the Flash Mob were BRILLIANT
and -- along with GREECE 
and ICELAND 
--
they blew the roof off Telenor Arena !!!!!!!!!
... BUT that little ...banter with a certain country using a STOLEN name, well....
Was it "rehearsed"? And what about that STUNT with 1 +1 ...T-shirts(!!) at SF1 ?
... Was THAT "deliberate", too?
Bad call, Norway.-
... Music and Politics do NOT mix!
and THAT ...stunt caused them NOT to QUALIFY !!!!!
BY NOT FOLLOWING THE RULES ....
Things like this can happen ....
---- ESC First -- Even with a good song, this a Host Country that got 20th place (that is
Norway ...5th from the ...BOTTOM in Final)
Did Didrik deserve that? --- LESSON NO. 1
because
NOBODY APPRECIATED IT ....
when other ESC Host Countries were ... skipped
as if they had never happened -- LESSON NO. 2
Believe me, these happened :
ESC 2005 Kyiv ---- ESC 2006 Athens 
--- ESC 2007 Helsinki --- ESC 2008 Belgrade
and (comparably) they were REALLY GREAT SHOWS !!!!!!!!!!
EUROPE REMEMBERS, too !!
Oh, by the way, in another interval act .......
MUSIC ..... CHOREOGRAPHY ...... LYRICS
Are ALL Greek Words and ideas / concepts
because NRK did not ... know( ??? ) where MUSIC originated from ... --- LESSON NO. 3 (Greek-style )
Another ESC First -- This one is for SVANTE and NRK.
Thanks to an online LIVE! website stream ( freegossip.GR )
we got to see the ALL (SF1 / SF2 / Final) DRESS REHEARSALS
BEFORE THE ACTUAL SHOW .... LESSON NO. 4 (Greek-style
I do not have anything else to say except for ...
GREECE .... 140 points / WON 8th place out of 39
THANK YOU, EUROPE !!!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!
Here's flags, balloons and cakes!
