Trivia[]

  • In the United Kingdom broadcast of the 2010 contest in Oslo, semifinal commentator Paddy O'Connell jokingly referred to Stokkan as "a young David Cameron (former UK prime minister) for Norway" during a clip of his 1990 performance as part of a segment paying tribute to the "Great Eurovision Losers".[1]
