Eurovision Express is back from Belfast, are we're delighted to report that Hera Bjork did, as we predicted, win ConSong 2009 for Denmark. But it was a close run thing!
As always ConSong - a competition that gives songs that didn't make it through their national finals a chance to compete against each other - was an incredibly well produced event.
We had thought Hera Bjork was going to romp home with the brilliant Someday, but in the end it was only 4 points that separated her from the song that came second, Norway's Alexander Stenerup's Find My Girl (see video below).
Completing a Scandinavian top three was Sweden's Alcazar with Stay The Night.
Fourth place was taken by Greece with Sakis' Ride On Time, although we think they would have done better with the other song that Sakis sang in the national final, the 80s sounding Out Of Control.
And, much to our delight, the Netherlands came 5th with The Toppers and Everybody Can Be A Star, which we think is much better than Shine.
So a good Top 5, but best of all - Hera triumphed!

The top three Consongers are also contenders for the Second Cherry contest on Saturday, and "Out of Control" is also in the running. Should I put a bet on now for Someday??
