“Satellite” – Lena (Lena Meyer-Landrut) – 🇩🇪 Germany (2ª)
About/Overview. The 2010 Eurovision Song Contest was held in the capital of Norway, Oslo. 39 countries took part in the contest, which had two Semi-Finals and a Grand Final. Thirty-nine countries took part in the 2010 contest, which was produced under the slogan ‘Share the Moment’. Georgia returned after a one year absence whilst Andorra, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Montenegro all withdrew. Lithuania originally announced its withdrawal from the competition, but was later among the 39 participants confirmed by the EBU-UER. The global financial crisis was affecting many participating broadcasters at the time and many withdrawals were due to budgetary constrains. The interval act involved a flashmob including participants from across Europe. The outdoor footage was intercut with webcam footage from individual private households – Europe really was sharing the moment.
About the winner. While she had been the main favourite to win for months, still, the victory of Lena for Germany with her song Satellite still came as a total surprise for many. Her simplistic performance gathered votes across Europe and became one of the biggest hits in Europe. She went on to defend her title the year after and managed to earn another a top 10 position with her entry “Taken By A Stranger”.
Facts and figures. Spain’s entry had to be performed again as the original performance was interrupted by a stage invasion; The Norwegian broadcaster had decided they wanted to take the contest back to the basics and after the contest in 2009, where LEDs were widely used, they used none. The 2010 was produced on a considerably lower budget than the year before; Some delegations, including the UK and Ireland travelled to Oslo by boat after the eruptions of the Icelandic volcano, Eyjafjallajökull, which caused widespread disruption to air travel across Europe.

Missed participation
• 🇧🇾 Belarus: “Far Away” (English) – 3+2. “Far Away” having been chosen internally by BTRC to represent Belarus in Oslo. The song had previously taken part in the ONT contest “Musical Court”, which was planned to be used to select the Belarusian entry for the Contest before ONT’s application to join the EEBU-UER, the contest’s organisers, was rejected. News reports suggested that a “back-up” entry had been also chosen (why, it was not explained) by another artist. Less than a month later, after underwhelming internet reaction to the original song, Belarus announced that their entry was being replaced, not with the back-up, but with a new song by the original group and will now perform the song “Butterflies” at the contest, written byMaxim Fadeev and Malka Chaplin.
• 🇺🇦 Ukraine: “I Love You…” (English, Ukrainian) – Vasyl Lazarovych (Василь Лазарович). On 29 December 2009 he was selected internally to represent Ukraine at the ESC 2010 in Oslo. On 6 March 2010 was the song “I Love You”, performed in both English and Ukrainian, chosen from five songs (all performed by Lazarovych) by the public as his song. On 15 March, one week before the deadline for Eurovision entries to be submitted to the EBU-UER, it was announced that NTU may hold another national final to replace Lazarovych as the Ukrainian entry for the Contest, (because the song was not good enough), with a new (last minute) national final to take place on 20 Marchwhere 20 finalists were chosen from an open audition of songs. However, he participated in the new national final with “I Love You” on 20 March to attempt to continue his Eurovision participation, but he just placed seventh. The winner of the new national selection was Alyosha, who will represent Ukraine with her song “Sweet People”, which replaced her song “To Be Free” due to allegations of plagiarism and evidence that the song was publicly available two years prior.
• 🇺🇦 Ukraine: “To Be Free” (English, Ukrainian) – Alyosha (Aльоша). She replaced Vasyl Lazarovych who was originally picked on December 29, 2009 to represent Ukraine. After some political changes that took place in Ukraine his candidacy was withdrawn on March 15 under suspicion that he was picked with the help of the current director of the State National Television (1st National) Vasyl Ilashchuk. The petition to organize another concourse and to cancel the current results was signed by several famous Ukrainian performers such as Taisia Povaliy, Ruslana Pysanka, Kostyantyn Meladze, and many others. The winner of the new national selection declared by a professional jury and SMS voting was Alyosha and Masha Sobko. With Alyosha getting the most points from the professional jury she was declared the winner with her song “To Be Free”. After the national final on 20 March, allegations were made that the song plagiarized the Linda Perry and Grace Slick song “Knock Me Out” and had been made available publicly 2 years before its entry in the national final ( the winning song has been available for purchase (under the name of Alonya) at Amazon.de since 12 April 2008). This would break the rules of the Eurovision Song Contest. A new song, “Sweet People”, was chosen, two days after the 22 March deadline had passed, so NTU was fined by the EBU-UER. Alyosha will represent Ukraine with her song “Sweet People”, that was revealed on 24 March.

Second Semi-Final:
The Eurovision Song Contest 2010 was the 55th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Oslo, Norway, following the country’s victory at the 2009 contest with the song “Fairytale” by Alexander Rybak. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster Norsk rikskringkasting (NRK), the contest was held at the Telenor Arena, and consisted of two semi-finals on 25 and 27 May, and a final on 29 May 2010, tying with the 1999 edition for the contest hosted the latest. The three live shows were presented by Norwegian television presenters Erik Solbakken and Nadia Hasnaoui and singer Haddy N’jie.
Thirty-nine countries took part in the contest, with Georgia returning after its one-year absence. Meanwhile, Andorra, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Montenegro all decided against participation, mainly for reasons related to the global financial crisis. Lithuania originally announced its non-participation, but was later among the participants confirmed by the EBU
The winner was Germany with the song “Satellite”, performed by Lena and written by Julie Frost and John Gordon. This was Germany’s second victory in the contest, following their win in 1982, and their first win as a unified country. It was also the first win for one of the “Big Four” countries since the rule’s introduction in 2000. Turkey, Romania, Denmark and Azerbaijan rounded out the top five. Romania, finishing third, equalled their best result from 2005, while further down the table, Georgia achieved their best result to date, finishing ninth. For the first time since the introduction of semi-finals in 2004, Sweden failed to qualify for the final. The last time Sweden was absent from a Eurovision final was in 1976.
The global financial crisis at the time affected how the event was run; the host broadcaster NRK was forced to sell its broadcast rights for the 2010 FIFA World Cup to TV 2 and Viasat in order to finance the event.
Prior to the contest, the EBU announced that the voting system used in the semi-finals would change from previous years to balance jury voting with televoting. A return of accompaniment by orchestra was also proposed, but ultimately did not occur.

Telenor Arena, Oslo – host venue of the 2010 contest.
1.Location.
1.1.Venue. 150 million Norwegian kroner (€17 million) was originally the venue budget agreed upon by Trond Giske and Hans-Tore Bjerkaas, respectively the Norwegian Minister for Culture and the head of Norwegian Broadcasting Corporation (NRK).
At a press conference in Oslo on 27 May 2009, it was announced that the show was to be held in the Oslo metropolitan area. NRK argued that Oslo was the only city with the required capacity, venues, and infrastructure to hold the show. On 3 July 2009, it was decided that the venue would be the newly constructed Telenor Arena, in the municipality of Bærum neighbouring Oslo. The Oslo Spektrum (host venue in 1996) was ruled out to host the contest due to its smaller size and capacity, as was Vallhall Arena in Oslo and the Hamar Vikingskipet. NRK had decided they wanted to take the contest back to the basics and after the contest in 2009, where LEDs were widely used, they used none. The 2010 was also produced on a considerably lower budget than the year before.
2.Format.
2.1.Visual design. NRK announced the theme art, slogan and design for the contest on 4 December 2009, during the Host City Insignia Exchange between the Mayors of Moscow, Oslo and Bærum, marking the official kick-off of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 season. The theme art, a series of intersecting circles, was selected to “represent gathering people and the diversity of emotions surrounding the Eurovision Song Contest.” In addition to the base colour of white, the logo was created in black, gold, and pink. A preview of the stage design was released on 6 May 2010, featuring no LED screens, opting instead for various other lighting techniques.
2.2.Postcards. Unlike the 2009 and the 2008 postcards, the 2010 postcards were based in simplicity but also included an innovative idea, they are shown like they could be seen right in the venue, over the crowd’s heads. The basic synopsis of the postcards is a numerous group of little golden balls (the theme of the ESC 2010) forms the shape of each country. Then, they move and form a screen where we can see a pre-recorded video of a little crowd from in a city of the country (usually the capital) about to perform supporting and cheering their act. After that, a few seconds of the performer of the country getting ready in the stage are shown; and then, the balls form the flag of the country supported.In the part of the shape of the country, there were little discrepancies: some countries’ shapes, such as those for Serbia, Israel, Armenia, and Azerbaijan, were not completely shown, due to territorial or border disputes in those areas.

Presenters of the 2010 contest, from left to right – Nadia Hasnaoui, Erik Solbakken and Haddy Jatou N’jie.
2.3.Presenters. NRK announced the hosts of the contest on 10 March 2010. Those chosen were Erik Solbakken, Haddy Jatou N’jie, and Nadia Hasnaoui. Solbakken and N’jie opened the three shows, introduced the artists, and reported from the green room during the voting, with Hasnaoui presenting the voting section and scoreboard announcements. This was the second Eurovision Family of Events that Hasnaoui had co-hosted, after doing so at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest 2004, in Lillehammer. The trio guided the audience and viewers through the night in English, French, and Norwegian. This was the second time that more than two hosts were presenting the shows, after the 1999 contest.
2.4.Voting system. On 11 October 2009, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) announced that the format of the semi-finals was to be changed so that the results would be determined by a combination of 50% national jury and 50% televoting, making it more consistent with the final. Each country’s votes were determined by combining the jury votes and the televoting results; the countries with the top ten highest points in each semi-final then qualify to participate in the final of the contest. This replaces the semi-final format used in the 2008 and 2009 contests in which the countries with the top nine highest points from the televoting results in each semi-final qualified for the final. The tenth semi-final place was then given to the country with the highest number of points from the jury’s votes which had not already qualified for the final from the televoting results. On 26 October 2009, the EBU announced that the voting would be open throughout the competition and would conclude 15 minutes after the end of the very last song.
2.4.1.List of Eurovision Song Contest 2010 jurors. The jurors of the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 played a large role in the voting process of the Contest. Unlike the 2009 Contest which seen used a combination of 50% televoting by the public and 50% by national jury during the final only. This year the combined results were also used to determine the votes for both the semi-finals.
2.4.1.1.Background. In response to some broadcasters’ continued complaints about politically charged, neighbourly and diaspora voting, the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) evaluated the voting procedure used in the contest, and implemented a change for the 2009 final. For 2010 the combined voting procedure was extended to determine the results for both the semi-finals.
2.4.1.2.Jurors. The jurors of the 39 participating countries are as follows:

2.5.Possible return of the orchestra. A number of fans began a campaign on social networking site Facebook for the return of an orchestra to the contest in Oslo, for the first time since 1998. An orchestra, which had been used since the first contest in 1956, was dropped after the 1998 contest due to rapid developments in music technology, which made backing tracks more useful. Jan Fredrik Heyerdahl of the Norwegian Radio Orchestra said that they were interested in participating in the 2010 contest if the EBU and NRK approved the return of an orchestra. However, no such change to the contest had been approved.
2.6.Interval. The interval act involved a number of live public outdoor dance events from across Europe, which were planned for promotional purposes, but done in the style of a series of spontaneous flashmobs. The outdoor footage was intercut with webcam footage from individual private households. Peter Svaar, Head of Press for the contest on behalf of broadcaster NRK, said: “We want to share the Eurovision Song Contest, rather than just broadcast it.” The seven and a half minute long song, called “Glow”, was produced and co-written by the Element team and performed and co-written by Madcon.
2.7.Semi-final allocation draw. On Sunday 7 February 2010, the draw to decide which countries were to appear in either the first or second semi-final took place. The participating countries excluding the automatic finalists (France, Germany, Norway, Spain & the United Kingdom) were split into six pots, based upon how those countries had been voting. From these pots, half (or as close to half as is possible) competed in the first Semi Final on 25 May 2010. The other half in that particular pot will compete in the second Semi Final on 27 May 2010. This draw also doubled up as an approximate running order, in order for the delegations from the countries to know when their rehearsals commenced. The draw also determined in which Semi Final the automatic finalists voted in. The draw for the running order of the semi-finals, finals, and the order of voting, took place on 23 March 2010.

3.Participating countries. A total of 39 countries confirmed their participation for the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest, including Georgia, which returned to the contest after its absence in 2009.
Lithuania’s broadcaster Lithuanian National Radio and Television (LRT) initially announced its non-participation after failing to achieve the necessary funds of 300,000 litas (€90,000) for participation. It was later confirmed by the EBU that Lithuania would indeed participate in Oslo. Funding was eventually given by Lithuanian company Teo LT, which allowed Lithuania to participate in the contest.
Thirty-four countries participated in the semi-finals of the contest. The semi-final allocation draw took place on 7 February 2010, while the draw for the running order was held on 23 March 2010.
To keep tension high, the qualifiers were announced in random order, and scores were published online only after the final took place.

3.4.Final. The final took place on 29 May 2010 at 21:00 CEST in Telenor Arena, Bærum, Akershus, Greater Oslo, Norway. The “Big Four” and the host country, Norway, qualified directly for the final. From the two semi-finals on 25 and 27 May 2010, twenty countries qualified for the final. A total of twenty-five countries competed in the final. The voting system used was similar to that used in the 2009 contest (with a combination of televotes and jury votes), but viewers were able to vote during the performances; the voting window ended 15 minutes after the conclusion of the songs.

5.Non-participating countries. The EBU announced that they would work harder to bring back Austria, Italy, and Monaco to the 2010 contest. In September 2009 the EBU’s director Bjørn Erichsen stated during an EBU press conference that “Austria will be back”, and that the EBU “has reasons to believe that Luxembourg and Monaco” were also to participate and that “now we are only missing Italy”. In late October 2009, the 2010 contest project manager Jon Ola Sand has stated that “countries such as Monaco and Luxembourg have indicated that they wish to participate in next year’s competition in Norway”. However, the representatives of broadcasters of Austria, Monaco and Luxembourg denied participation in the 2010 contest. Wolfgang Lorenz, the programme director of the Austrian broadcaster Österreichischer Rundfunk (ORF), informed Austria would not take part stating that the contest has been “ruined by the regulations”. Télé Monte Carlo (TMC) has also declared that Monaco would not be returning for the 2010 edition, mainly due to a lack of finances to send a Monegasque entry. The RTL Group had announced that they were having serious discussions regarding a possible comeback for Luxembourg for the first time since 1993, but later confirmed that the country would not be present for the 2010 contest either. San Marino also considered returning in 2010. However, after deliberations with Italian artists, including Italian sister duo Paola & Chiara, Sammarinnese broadcaster Radiotelevisione della Repubblica di San Marino (SMRTV) was informed to withhold returning after failing to receive funding from the Sammarinnese parliament or sponsors.
EBU had talks to Liechtenstein’s only broadcaster 1FLTV (1 Fürstentum Liechtenstein Television) for them to join the EBU, and become a part of the Eurovision Song Contest. 1FLTV’s programme director Peter Kolbel had confirmed interest in Liechtenstein’s participation as soon as full EBU membership is granted, which may have happened in December 2009. Thus they were getting ready to debut in 2010, considering a national final concept similar to the German version of the Idol series – Deutschland sucht den Superstar (DSDS). In November 1FLTV decided against applying for EBU membership in December for financial reasons, ruling out a debut at the 2010 contest.
In 2009, Jillian Evans, a representative of the European Parliament from Wales, stated her interest in securing Wales a place in the Eurovision Song Contest 2010 in Norway, but in the end it was decided they would not participate. Their debut was rejected because Wales is not a sovereign state and the BBC has the exclusive right to represent the United Kingdom. Wales could be represented by either BBC Cymru Wales, ITV Cymru Wales or S4C.
From July to December 2009, five countries who participated in the 2009 contest announced their non-participation in 2010. The Czech Republic declared that it would not participate due to a lack of interest from Czech viewers after three successive semi-final failures since their debut in 2007.
Andorra’s broadcaster Ràdio i Televisió d’Andorra (RTVA) announced a 10% reduction in its spending budget for 2010. RTVA had submitted a preliminary application to take part in the contest. However, being unable to secure extra funds by 11 December 2009, it decided to withdraw from the 2010 contest. Following this announcement, many former Andorran Eurovision Song Contest contestants expressed their disappointment in RTVA’s decision, and the lack of publicity the country will now receive by not being contestants. Hungary did not enter into the 2010 contest, due to financial difficulties of the national broadcaster Magyar Televízió (MTV). Montenegro and Montenegrin broadcaster Radiotelevizija Crne Gore (RTCG) also refused participation because of financial problems, in a way to reach financial consolidation after three years as an independent state.
6.Broadcasts. Most countries sent commentators to Oslo or commentated from their own country, in order to add insight to the participants and, if necessary, provide voting information.
