SongFacts:
"Only Teardrops" is a song by Danish singer Emmelie de Forest. The song was written by Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen and Thomas Stengaard and produced by Frederik Thaae. It is best known as Denmark's winning entry at the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest in Malmö, Sweden. The song competed in the first semi-final on May 14, 2013 and qualified for the final on May 18, 2013. In the final, the song competed against 25 other songs and took first place with 281 points.
The song was an instant hit in de Forest's home country of Denmark, where it debuted and reached number two on the Danish singles chart upon its release. After winning the Eurovision Song Contest, the song landed at number one in the singles charts again. It has since been certified gold by IFPI Denmark for sales of 15,000 digital copies. It was the fourteenth best-selling digital single in Denmark in 2013.
In the UK, "Only Teardrops" debuted at number 99, despite Eurovision airing just four hours before the charts ended. A week later, the single peaked at number 15 in the UK. In its third week it fell to number 84 and fell out of the chart the following week after three weeks in the UK charts. According to The Official Charts Company, “Only Teardrops” is the seventh most downloaded Eurovision song in the UK to date.
Since 2009, the jury and televoters' pick for who should take first place has almost always been at odds. However, there have been a handful of times where the jury and the public have managed to agree on a winner.
There were only six years where this occurred:
In 2009, both groups agreed that Norway's Alexander Rybak was the clear winner; the following year the same could be said about Germany's Lena.
2012 started a three-year streak of the jury and public agreeing on a winner. Both groups agreed that Loreen, Emmelie de Forest, and Conchita Wurst should be the winners of the 2012, 2013, and 2014 contests respectively.
The last time the public and jury came to an agreement was in 2017 when Portugal's Salvador Sobral took home the win.
Since 1956, there are women who compete in Eurovision Song Contest. Asides, most or some of them brought their gorgeous and sexy vibes even on live stage [like a goddess or diva].
Now, here is the 1st batch for my list of the MOST BEAUTIFUL female Eurovision acts (based on my own thoughts and criteria which are: physical appearance, personality or attitude and presentation on the live ESC stage).
Its alright for me if you could agree or disagree with my list because I'm sure, some or most of you here in Tumblr could have their own preference of who are the most beautiful female Eurovision acts (may be similar or different) as we may have different opinion, taste and choice. You can also put down your own list of them in the comment section below this post and of course, I totally respect it. 😊
