a bit higher perspective not only this you know the speech is really beautiful and everybody is happy and smiling and the beer is the city. but just a few kilometers from here really. crazy things are happening here at the eurovision press center politics couldn't be further away the organizer of the contest the european broadcasting union has said strict rules bending politics from the stage among bloggers and journalists covering the event it's all about who is going to win this year's contest the dutch entry is one of the favorites lawrence duncan with kind of a cheesy nice ballad isn't 1st place but my favorite and my bad hopefully is below for sony the french singer 19 years old muslim gate and he's now climbed up to 4th place in the odds hopefully he'll win sweden with john ludwick in 2nd place so it's weird in france holland that's the big battle fewer foreign
