The Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) has become one of the world’s most watched non-sporting events, with audience figures now into the hundreds of millions. An event of this scale takes months and months of planning. That being said– sometimes things are not always going to go to plan. Live television always has an element of uncertainty to it and nothing is ever guaranteed. The same elements apply for the ESC, and it is no surprise that it has gained its fair share of bloopers, technical mishaps and memorable moments over the years.
Swedish singer Loreen, won the Eurovision song contest over the weekend in a landslide. Placing second were the Russian grandmothers followed by Zeljko Joksimovic of Serbia in third place.
