Winning Estonia
song "Everybody"
The Eurovision Song Contest 2001 was the 46th edition of the annual Eurovision Song Contest. The contest took
place in Copenhagen, Denmark, following the Olsen Brothers' win at the 2000 contest in Stockholm, Sweden with
the song "Fly on the Wings of Love". The hosting marked only the second time the contest was held on Danish
soil, after the 1964 contest - 37 years earlier.
23 countries took part in the contest, which was held on 12 May 2001. The host venue was the Parken Stadium -
the largest venue to ever host the contest (as of 2016).
A total of 35,000 spectators saw the show live from within the stadium, breaking the record of 16,000 held by the
previous year's hosts Sweden.[1]
The show was opened by the Olsen Brothers, with a snippet from their winning song "Fly on the Wings of Love",
followed by their latest single "Walk Right Back", which was already a smash hit in Denmark at the time. The
presenters were Danish journalist and TV-show presenter Natasja Crone Back and the famous Danish actor Sren
Pilmark who spoke most of their announcements in rhyming couplets.
France, Greece and Slovenia were the heavy favourites to win the contest; however, as the voting progressed it
became a two-horse race between Estonia and the host country Denmark.[2]
The contest was won by Estonia, represented by Tanel Padar, Dave Benton & 2XL with the song "Everybody",
which scored a total of 198 points. The host nation, Denmark, finished in 2nd place with 177 points - beaten by 21
points.
Coming 3rd were Greece with 147 points - giving the country their best result up till this point. France came 4th
with 142 points, and in 5th place were Sweden with 100 points.
Dave Benton, who was born and raised in Aruba, was the first black person and, at the age of 50 years and 101
days, the oldest contestant at the time to win the contest.[1]

Location
For more details on the host city, see Copenhagen.
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark was the host city for the 46th edition
of Eurovision. The venue choice for the contest was Parken Stadium, a
football stadium in the Indre sterbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark,
built from 19901992.
Format
The logo of the 2001 Eurovision Song Contest was made out of four
Parken Stadium, Copenhagen - host circles, placed in the shape of a heart. The four circles were also present in
venue of the 2001 contest. the stage design, with the light construction was made of the same four
rings.[2]
The Danish national broadcaster faced some problems whilst organising the contest such as the lack of funds and
the search for a suitable venue. The event was eventually located in the football stadium Parken, after the company
running the stadium agreed to add a retractable roof to the building. This solution made it the biggest venue ever to
host a Eurovision Song Contest, but the scale of it wasn't entirely a success: many of the 38,000 people in the
audience could not see the stage, and for many entries the hall appeared to be too big.[2]
Changes occurred in the qualification process for the 2002 Contest: along with the "Big 4" countries, the top 15
placed countries would qualify for next year's competition. The other spots for 2002 would be filled by countries
that were excluded from the 2001 contest because of their low point average for the years 19962000.[2]
Incidents
Controversy was again rife in the contest: the United Kingdom TV commentator Terry Wogan repeatedly made
critical comments about the hosts and dubbed them "Doctor Death and the Tooth Fairy/The Little Mermaid" after
providing their entire commentary in rhyming couplets.[3] The Danes were so offended that the BBC was obliged
to issue an apology on Wogan's comments.[3] Controversy also surrounded the Swedish song, "Listen To Your
Heartbeat", which was repeatedly accused as a plagiarism of the Belgian entry for the 1996 Contest, "Liefde is een
kaartspel".[4] Eventually the EBU decided for the matter to be settled in court, with the song allowed to compete as
long as the courts did not declare the song as plagiarism.[2][5] At first this was denied by the Swedish songwriters,
one of whom was Thomas G:son, but after the Belgian songwriters and the author's organisation SABAM pressed
for legal action, a cash settlement was agreed.[6][7]
During the voting the Danish band Aqua performed with a medley of their singles, with percussion ensemble Safri
Duo performing in the medley.[2] Although enjoyable, people complained about it being a little bit "rude" as there
was some swearing during the performance, both at the beginning and end of "Barbie Girl".

Due to the EBU's relegation rule of the lowest ranked countries from the contest had to miss the follow year's
contest, meant several countries had to withdraw, while relegated countries from the 1999 contest were able to
return this year. Bosnia and Herzegovina, Greece, Lithuania, Poland, Portugal, and Slovenia returned, while
Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, Macedonia, Romania, and Switzerland, the seven countries with the lowest
average result in the past five contests, were relegated. This brought the total number of participating countries to

Scoreboard
The majority of participating countries held a televote, where the top ten most voted for songs were awarded the
12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points. This year the EBU introduced for the first time a mix of voting systems (50%
televoting and 50% jury) for those countries that didn't want to use 100% televoting. Only three votes were
allowed per household.[9] According to the EBU rules (published on 05/10/00), every broadcaster was free to
make a choice between the full televoting system and the mixed 50-50 system. In exceptional circumstances,
where televoting was not possible at all, only a jury was used: Bosnia & Herzegovina, Turkey and Russia. Only a
few countries are confirmed to have used the mixed voting system: Croatia, Greece and Malta.

1.^ Although Australia is not itself eligible to enter, the event was broadcast on SBS. As is the case each
year, it did not however broadcast it live due to the difference in Australian time zones. This year, the
broadcast contained a locally produced addition of a studio audience of young representatives from the
competing countries. However, a number of complaints saw the United Kingdom's broadcast, including
commentary from Terry Wogan, shown a few weeks later.[37]
2.^ After the breakup of Yugoslavia, Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was last participated in 1992. YU Info
channel broadcast the show, although Yugoslavia did not participate.
