A Fairy Tale Ending to Eurovision

The Norwegian (by way of Byelorus) entry to this year's Eurovision Song Contest held in Moscow won the grand prize.  Alexander Rybak - violinist and singer won with the song "Fairytale," which incorporates folkloric imagery from both Norway and Russia.  Surprisingly, this song garnered the highest vote tally of any Eurovision song ever.  Even more than Abba!
