World Top Stories News - winner azerbaijan eurovision 2011 : The Eurovision 2011 Surprise Winner Azerbaijan ; While the battle between the UK’s Blue and Ireland’s Jedward attracted huge audiences to this year’s Eurovision Song Contest, it was a Londoner from Azerbaijan who emerged triumphant.

And everywhere else you looked, people with British connections were popping up, including the Romanian entry, which was led by a man from County Durham, and a rapper for Greece who is a lecturer at the University of Westminster.

Perhaps it was this mix that prompted British viewers to turn back to the competition – and virtually double last year’s audience. Fuelled by massive interest in X Factor act Jedward and boy band Blue, the show peaked at an astonishing 12.7million on BBC1 – thought to be the contest’s biggest UK audience in more than a decade.
