Eurovision Song Contest 2001
Encyclopedia : E : EU : EUR : Eurovision Song Contest 2001
The Eurovision Song Contest 2001 was the 46th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 12, 2001 in Copenhagen. The presenters were Natasja Crone Back and Søren Pilmark. Their entire commentary was in rhyming couplets and was full of jokes, attracting criticism from many people, especially the UK TV commentator Terry Wogan. His constant caustic comments about the hosts - who he repeatedly referred to as 'Doctor Death and the Tooth Fairy' - so offended the Danes that the BBC was obliged to issue an apology.
The hall, the soccer stadium Parken, was the biggest ever to host a Eurovision Song Contest. It held 38,000 people, most of them could not see the stage. For many entries, the hall appeared to be too big.
Big favourites in this contest were France, Greece and host country Denmark. Also the latino singers from Malta and Spain were expected to do very well. The Swedish song ran into controversy, as it sounded very much like the 1996 Belgian entry Liefde is een kaartspel. Tanel Padar, Dave Benton and 2XL were the unexpected winners of this Eurovision with the song, Everybody for Estonia.
The Danish-Norwegian band Aqua performed, while people were voting, with a medley of their singles. Safri Duo performed the drums in the medley.
