年度歐洲音樂盛事，造成收視長紅的歌唱大賽Eurovision Song Contest，2010年由年僅19歲、代表德國的Lena摘取后冠。擁有驚人的爆發力、超齡的音韻，是位白人靈魂美聲歌姬。全名Lena Meyer-Landrut的Lena，5歳開始學習芭蕾舞，接著又勤練嘻哈舞蹈以及爵士現代舞。漸漸從跳舞轉移到歌唱領域的Lena，更展現藝術全才天份，在當地電視劇中過過戲癮。

首張處女之航【My Cassette Player】，空降德國排行冠軍，短短一個月時間，即獲頒雙白金銷售認證。首波主打“Satellite”，蟬聯德國排行5週冠軍，同時奪下丹麥、芬蘭、挪威、瑞典等地的NO.1席位，也是Eurovision Song Contest奪冠之關鍵成名曲，雙白金輕鬆入袋；迴盪復古Funky Soul的“Love Me”，寫下TOP4紀錄；可愛搖擺的“Bee”，有趣展現Lena表情豐富的詮釋實力，直奔德榜季軍；輕巧歡愉的“You Can't Stop Me”，調融Soul Jazz/Funk等元素，一再佩服這位小妮子於嗓音和節奏上的卓越掌控力！

won the 2010 Eurovision Song Contest with "Satellite", an upbeat, catchy pop song, edging out Turkey and Romania.

Meyer-Landrut, who turned 19 during the competition in Norway, won 246 points in the voting by a panel of judges and telephone votes from fans in the 39 participating countries.

It was Germany's second win in the songfest's 55-year history, and the victory means it will host next year's contest.

Meyer-Landrut had been second favorite among leading bookmakers, but first in a Google predictor program. Her victory marks the second year in a row that the Google program has correctly projected the winner of Eurovision, after predicting Norwegian fiddler Alexander Rybak's win in Moscow last year.

Onstage after winning, Meyer-Landrut demanded a kiss on the cheek from Rybak.

"I'm so happy and so thankful and so grateful, and I never thought we could do this" she said, covering her face with a German flag and, looking bewildered, asked: "Do I have to sing now?"

Alone on stage, with her backup singers in shadow, and dressed in a black cocktail dress, black stockings and dark pumps, Meyer-Landrut sang Satellite again to cheers and applause.

Germany beat the Turkish entry by 76 points. Romania came in third.
Oil-rich Norway spent 200 million kroner ($31 million) to host the elaborate songfest, which led off with a performance by Rybak, who won the contest in Moscow in 2009.

This year several countries have pulled out of the extravaganza citing financial strains, including the Czech Republic, Montenegro, Andorra and Hungary.

Observers also feared that the voting for the winner - a political consideration even in the best of times - would be affected by the continent's simmering financial tensions. The Greek government debt crisis and a subsequent European Union-led bailout has strained relations within the 27-nation bloc.

Germany's supremacy didn't inspire joy everywhere. On Russian state television, an announcer said, "Clearly everyone knows where to turn when they need money."

The contest is known for over-the-top exuberance in costumes, lighting and set design. One notable semifinal outfit - tight silver sparkly shorts - was worn by the male singers in Lithuania's InCulto group, and contestants from Romania had plumes of fire in the background.

Earlier this week, 34 contestants were whittled down to 20 in two semifinals. They were competing in the final with five pre-qualified countries - last year's winner, Norway, and the contest's four perennials: Britain, Germany, France and Spain.

Politically motivated voting, as well as bloc voting, has been fairly common in Eurovision, and this year was no exception, with former Soviet bloc countries supporting each other, a trend that has helped the region win five of the last 10 contests.
