This article is in decent shape, but it needs more work before it becomes a Good Article.
- Is it well written?
- A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:
- In the After Eurovision section, it would be more encyclopedic if "#11" and "#3" were changed to "number 11" and "number three".

- B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:

In the Song selection section, "VIVA" needs to be linked to a correct article. The article tends to have red links, if they don't link to anything, it would be best to unlink them, per here.
