German teenager wins Eurovision contest: OSLO
OSLO (Reuters) – Nineteen-year-old German Lena won the 55th Eurovision song contest with the British-styled pop number “Satellite” on Saturday, beating 24 other contestants in one of Europe’s most watched TV programs.
Lena, the second German winner of Eurovision, was an unknown before she won Germany’s qualifiers for the contest and delighted the crowd in the Norwegian capital Oslo with her youthful and energetic personality.
Eurovision, which drew 124 million viewers last year, parades a wide array of musical styles in original songs, mostly from relatively unknown artists.
The competition, whose previous winners have included ABBA and Celine Dion, featured stunts like butterfly wing costumes donned by the Belarus team and sparks from power tools during the Turkish rock entry which won second place overall.
