Sweden Win Eurovision

Sweden have become the latest winners of the Eurovision song contest held in Baku, Azerbaijan.

Loreen who represented Sweden singing the song 'Euphoria' was  former Swedish Idol contestant. She won with over 300 points, in poor comparison to the UK's meager finishing position at second-to-last.

The entry for the UK was Engelbert Humperdinck. He opened the contest with a strong rendition of the song 'Love Will Set You Free'. Despite high hopes he recieved just over a dozen votes, finishing at second-to-last.

Sweden will be the next hosts for Eurovision 2013. Who do we expect to win? Well probably not the United Kingdom for sure!
