The Norwegians are having a great time hosting this contest. Everything is running smoothly and there's a great buzz around Oslo. There's another thing the Norwegians are doing very well and that's the preparation for their entry.

As could be expected, the interest was big when Azerbaijan's performer Safura took the stage. Would the favourite to win the contest live up to the high expectations?
