I must admit that I've never been much of a fan of the winning number, but I can appreciate it's got catchy chorus and a hummable melody.
Emmelie de Forest "Only Teardrops" Denmark
It just seems rather generic. As my friend Michael W. noted, it "sounded like he had heard it before" but in a hundred different songs". It's not a song that is particularly memorable or original.
But as Eurovision tends not to reward originality, this is an example of a perfect winner. De Forest will become one of those artists that will not make a splash outside of her country again but be back at Eurovision year after year after year.
Could she become her generation's Lys Assia? Only time will tell.
