Feel Your Heart Beat: Eurovision Song Contest 2011 In Germany

This year’s Eurosvision Song Contest will be hosted by Germany, because our Lena has won last year’s contest in Oslo with her song “Satellite”. In a bout of either idiocy or ingenuity she has decided to defend her title this year by participating again with the song “Taken by a stranger” wich was chosen via televoting by the German audience.
I’ve decided to do some live tweeting during the Final, so if you wanna know what I think about the different performances, follow @adiek84 on Twitter or add Adie Klarpol to your Facebook friends, because my Tweets will be posted to my FB wall, too.
