Introduction to the 2011 Edition
Welcome to the revised second edition of our Eurovision guide for 2011! We’ve taken the opportunity to update the first edition of the 2011 guide and to try to incorporate as many of the statistics and analysis that we have developed in later editions.
Looking back on the 2011 Contest after eleven years, it is interesting to see that this was the first time since the jury voting was reintroduced in 2009 that the overall winner did not finish first in the jury voting: Italy was the most popular with the juries but Azerbaijan proved more popular with the voting public. The 2011 Contest saw 43 competing nations this year, four more than in 2010. We welcomed back Austria (previous appearance: 2007), Hungary (2009), San Marino (2008) and for the first time since 1997, Italy. The presence of Italy turned the “Big 4” into the Big 5”, Italy being given an automatic place in Final along with the UK, Germany, Spain and France. It was a creditable performance by Italy, finishing second with only Spain performing poorly from the Big 5 this year. Germany hosted Eurovision this year for the first time since 1983 with the organisers choosing to stage the Contest in Düsseldorf’s Esprit Arena, normally home to football team Fortuna Düsseldorf. Broadcaster, NDR, chose three presenters to host both semi-finals and the final: Anke Engleke, Judith Rakers and Stefan Raab.
Several former entrants returned to the Contest in 2011, Two former winners took part, Dana International who won for Israel in 1998 and 2010 champion, Lena Meyer-Landrut. Also returning were Dino Merlin of Bosnia & Herzegovina (1999) and Moldova’s Zdob şi Zdub (2005). It was the first time since 1958 that two former winners had returned to perform in the same Contest. Another record may have been set this year, with two sets of identical twins performing. Slovakia were represented by TWiiNS, who were Daniela and Veronika Nízlová and Jedward, otherwise known as John and Edward Grimes appeared for Ireland.
So congratulations to Azerbaijan, winners for the first time on only their fourth appearance, keeping up a remarkable run of finishing in the top 10 every year so far. They become the fifth country from the former Soviet Union to win Eurovision.
