Russia wins Eurovision Song Contest


Russian pop artist Dima Bilan performs Believe

Russia has won the Eurovision Song Contest 2008. Britain was left at the bottom of the list coming a joint fourth with only 14 points. “You have to say this is no longer a song contest” said Terry Wogan, the veteran BBC presenter, “and we, and indeed Western participants have to decide whether to participate as their prospects are poor”. The voting was almost blatantly political as Slavic countries voted for each other and Norwegian countries stuck together and the Balkans joined hands. “Good-bye Western Europe” Terry Wogan quipped as the winner,
Dima Bilan, made his acceptance address, “So that’s it from the 53rd Eurovision handicap...” he added.
