The Eurovision Song Contest 2013 which took place in Malmö, Sweden on Saturday night saw the victory of Denmark with the song “Only Teardrops” sung by twenty year old Emmelie de Forest.
The annual international competition which was hosted by Sweden following Loreen’s win in the 2012 edition with the song “Euphoria” was held in Malmö Arena and hosted by comedienne Petra Mede. Denmark’s win didn’t come as a surprise to Eurovision experts and enthusiasts, with bookmakers having tagged Emmelie’s song as their favourite. The barefooted singer, who was the 18th act on stage, gave a touching performance of “Only Teardrops”.
“I’m the happiest girl in the world. Not only for being a winner but also for having won here in Sweden, where my dad came from, he liked this contest so much,” said Ammelie following her victory.
