| Eurovision Song Contest News - 2009 Moscow, Russia 

Øystein NOR

Hi! My name is Oystein (It is written another way, but can't write the first letter in English) and I live in the beautiful country, Norway, and I'm a BIG ESC fan!

I watched my first ESC-show in 2000, when Denmark won. Oh, I loved it! The songs, the show and the voting part of course. Since then I've got crazy on eurovision stuff, indeed after Norways fourth place in 2003 (Then I didn't know that Norway had got higher results before, and that we had won twice). Every day I look at the esc sites on internet for news and polls.
