The audience at this year's Eurovision Song Contest finals saw Germany's Lena Meyer-Landrut wave her national flag at the Telenor Arena in Bearum after being declared the winner of the contest. The 19 year old artist won the 55th annual competition (Europe's biggest and oldest sinnging competition) watched by an estimated 120 million television viewers in 39 European countries.

Lena's live performance was attended by a crowd of 18,000 at the arena. According to the European Broadcasting Union (EBU), several millions viewed the contest online and television in most countries within and outside Europe.

Meyer-Landrut was voted to the first place by the European audience, winning with 246 points ahead of MaNga from Turkey (170 points) and Romanian Paula Selling (162 points). She sang an American dance song titled "Satellite".

Norway's own artist at the event, Didrik Solli-Tangen singing "My Heart Is Yours", a song written by Hanne Sørvaag & Fredrik Kempe didn't make it to the top ten at the finals. He landed a safe 20th position among the 25 competitors at the finals.
