yes, Maria blew Charlotte out of the water last night...Norway is where my vote went to yesterday anyway :D

oh and just to add. I think Charlotte may have suffered slightly from that awful black and white camera effect...it was very odd staging

 

I absolutely love Hero but I can see why others wouldn't...its like Schlager by numbers

I think people are just getting fed up of the generic Swedish entry we've been getting every other year. Finally time for them to try something new, which is a shame, as it certainly represents their musical culture very well. :(
