They may not have won it, but Irish twins Jedward (John and Edward Grimes) certainly enjoyed their stint on the Eurovision Song Contest. “We loved taking part in the Eurovision”, they said after the result was announced. “Our aim was to bring fun and happiness to Eurovision and make Ireland proud. And we hope we succeeded.” (via http://www.irishtimes.com/).

Other songs I rather enjoyed included: Change by Hotel FM (Romania, 17th, 77 points); Da Da Dam by Paradise Oskar (Finland, 21st, 57 points); and Rockefeller Street by Getter Jaani (Estonia, 24th, 44 points).
