Unless you are an ostrich with your head in a sandpit, you should by now know that Germany's newest darling, Lena Meyer-Landrut, has won the Eurovision song contest for 2010. Here at Euroblog we are taking bets about how long it will be until the 19 year old releases her first solo album. We're tipping: tomorrow lunchtime.This sort of Europhenomena is right up Euroblog's street. Perfectly normal Germans going absolutely troppo about something that they should actually be way to cool to care about. I'd like to say that in Berlin no one cared about the outcome of this strange Italian style telethon but, alas, it's not true. Everyone from the city council website to the radio stations to ... well, Euroblog, has jumped on the band wagon.
Speaking to the average punter, you get the feeling Lena's a bit like Vegemite - you either love her or you hate her. Either way, her 15 minutes of fame isn't over yet: Ms Meyer-Landrut says she's going to be back "defending her title" next year.
