Over the two weeks of rehearsals and live shows from Baku, we brought you daily headlines articles looking at some of the most important news from that day. Now we have them all in one convenient place!
In Baku we had a daily magazine feature entitled Eurovision Song Contest Headlines, which brought some of the most important and fun events of the day to you. Now we have conveniently put all of these together in one place below so why not take a look through! Who knows, it may even help to cure some of those post-Eurovision blues!
Here is the latest video update from the evening of the final where we spoke to the audience outside the arena. The other videos can be found in each of the articles below; a great timeline from a great two weeks!
i don't criticize azerbaijan for its organization. overall it was very good organized. we have 3 shows on the deadline and a winner at the end.
but i was disappointed about the german production company, which was the same as last year. they should do much more. and i'm disappointed about the postcards, that's all. report to the moderator
heinzweidenauer from Germany if you cant see good mood and atmosphere on TV its not mean that AZERBAIJAN did a bad ESC!
IN CRYSTALL HALL AND ON THE BULVAR WERE WAS A BIG TV PEOPLE HAD VERY GOOD MOOD! BELIEVE ME! VERY PITY YOU DIDNT SEE IT BY CAMERA report to the moderator
@Ahmad: The good mood and atmosphere means absolutely nothing, when you can´t see it on the screen! And you haven´t seen it on screen. That is a fact! report to the moderator
@heinzweidenauer
I disagree my friend! Azerbaijan had good sound,professional microphones,shots and they were better than 2010 and 2011.
And they did a WONDERFUL PROFESSIONAL job!Don't be unfair with them! The were the absolute SURPRIZE and they gave lecture about how to organise an esc! But,i can understand you cause in 2010 you won and in 2011 you hosted the esc!
I hope Azerbaijan to win again,so we will have such a wonderful organisation! report to the moderator

Second, we all know that there are some issues about human rights and regime in Azerbaijan.That's not good! I do not exactly approve that!!! Journalists should have freedom of expression there. But this is UN's job not EBU's! Additionally, Azeris are such a beautiful people and they dont deserve that rude and racism smelly comments like big money etc. As a human, you can expostulate Aliyevs or regime in AZ fairly.
AND honestly I have seen many positive comments about ESC 2012 on here or other websites
Hope u r not getting me wrong mate! I respect your reviews and agree with some of them. But if I was an azeri, I would deplore to see some aggressive comments on here. I am just trying express that... report to the moderator
@heinzweidenauer: Firstly, I am not saying Germany had worse show than this or something else like that. Germany had spectacular organization undoubtedly! As I said on my last comment, there was some negative things in Azerbaijan But I like Chrystal Hall, Stage Design and atmosphere around the stage etc. Although Hosts spoke English with accent( E.g; Nargis was so excited and looked so inexperienced in green room with her communication skills), they were lovely and funny... And as far as I know, Azerbaijan had not arranged any international organizations which have high ratings so far except of ESC. Therefore i expected some faults, mistakes during the organization. But they made me surprised and did brilliant job over my expectation! report to the moderator
@Deniz: The songs have not much to do with the organization. The things you mentioned have to do with the organization. Postcards and so on. I remember last year and the year before many many people said right after the final how good the show was. This year there are not so much people who said, that this was a lovely show. And if you read on INDEPENDENT ESC sides, this edition was a little mess for some journalists and artists and spectators. Stay critical! report to the moderator
Congratulations to Azerbaijan for great organization! If I compare this year with last 2 year's organizations, Songs were much more quality this year but graphics and postcards were not so creative... in overall, Azerbaijan did good job...
By the way, I dont understand why some people are very offensive to Azerbaijan... Azeris are so warmblooded people... Even though you criticize somethings, you have to do that respectively!!!! report to the moderator
Oh, I commented a statement yesterday. Tomorrow morning it was there. But now my comment was removed from here. What is this, a kind of joke?
The last two ESCs were much better than this year. I would like to say, that you saw the mess behind the curtain on the stage too. And too little of the spectators like in the last years (for example in Oslo with the living rooms and the crowd, who shouted). They may be have more money, but the 2010th and 2011th edition have had much more heart and good mood. That is what money can´t buy! report to the moderator
