Eurovision Song Contest 2001

The Eurovision Song Contest 2001 was the 46th Eurovision Song Contest and was held on May 12, 2001 in Copenhagen. The presenters were Natasja Crone Back and Søren Pilmark. Their entire commentary was in rhyming couplets and was full of jokes, attracting criticism from many people, especially the UK TV commentator Terry Wogan. His constant caustic comments about the hosts - who he repeatedly referred to as 'Doctor Death and the Tooth Fairy' - so offended the Danes that the British Broadcasting Corporation was obliged to issue an apology.

Voting Structure

Each Country had a televote, where the top ten most voted for songs were awarded the 12, 10, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 points.
