The Eurovision Song Contest 2013 was the 58th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. It took place in Malmö, Sweden, following the country's victory at the {{Escyr|2012||2012 contest}} with the song "Euphoria" by Loreen. Organised by the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) and host broadcaster {{lang|sv|Sveriges Television|i=unset}} (SVT), the contest was held at the Malmö Arena, and consisted of two semi-finals on 14 and 16 May, and a final on 18 May 2013. The three live shows were presented by Swedish comedian and television presenter Petra Mede, being the first time only one host had presented the show since the {{Escyr|1995||1995}} contest. Former Swedish entrant Eric Saade acted as the green room host in the final.
Thirty-nine countries participated in the contest, with {{Esccnty|Armenia}} returning after its one-year absence. {{Esccnty|Bosnia and Herzegovina}}, {{Esccnty|Portugal}}, {{Esccnty|Slovakia}} and {{Esccnty|Turkey}} all ceased their participation for various reasons. Slovakia and Turkey have yet to return to the contest since.
The winner was {{Esccnty|Denmark|y=2013}} with the song "Only Teardrops", performed by Emmelie de Forest and written by Lise Cabble, Julia Fabrin Jakobsen and Thomas Stengaard. The song had the highest average score in both the televote and jury vote. Azerbaijan, Ukraine, Norway and Russia rounded out the top five.
This year marked the reintroduction of the "Parade of Nations", a concept which was first used in the contest from {{Escyr|1959}} to {{Escyr|1963}} (with the exception of {{Escyr|1962}}) before making a one-off return in {{Escyr|1983}}. The concept had also been used, on-and-off, in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest since {{Escyr|2004|J}}. It sees all countries performing in the final presenting themselves with their national flags before the contest begins. This year, the contestants entered the main stage by walking across a bridge over the audience. This idea has subsequently continued in every edition of the contest onwards.
The EBU reported that 170 million viewers watched the semi-finals and final of the 2013 edition.

On 8 July 2012, the Swedish broadcaster {{lang|sv|Sveriges Television|i=unset}} (SVT) announced that the Malmö Arena in Malmö would be the host venue for the 2013 contest. This was the fifth time after {{Escyr|1975}}, {{Escyr|1985}}, {{Escyr|1992}} and {{Escyr|2000}} that the competition was held in Sweden, and the second time that it was held in Malmö, after 1992. SVT had expressed the desire to host the contest at a slightly smaller venue than previous years, as well as smaller environment which is easier to dedicate and decorate for other celebrations and festivities of the event within the host city. These were factors in the choice of the Malmö Arena as the host venue,{{cite web|url=http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/eurovision-song-contest-2013-halls-i-malmo|title=Eurovision Song Contest 2013 hålls i Malmö – Melodifestivalen|last=Dahlander|first=Gustav|date=8 July 2012|work=Sveriges Television (SVT)|language=sv|trans-title=Eurovision Song Contest 2013 will be held in Malmö, Sweden|access-date=9 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140104055620/http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/eurovision-song-contest-2013-halls-i-malmo|archive-date=4 January 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} and Malmö as Sweden's third-largest city by population after Stockholm and Gothenburg, the two other initial location-bidders.
The city's proximity to the borders with Denmark and Norway also spilled over into some of the producers' actions. Denmark was eventually allocated to compete in one semi-final and Norway in the other, taking into consideration the number of Danish and Norwegian fans who were likely to travel for the contest, with the arena being relatively small and thus not suitable for accommodating both countries' fans in one semi-final. The Øresund Bridge was also used as the main artistic medium for the theme of the contest, as an expression of binding cultures.

On the night of the final for the {{Escyr|2012||2012 contest}}, the chief executive of SVT, Eva Hamilton, stated to the Swedish media that various venues in Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö were being considered for hosting the 2013 contest.{{cite web|url=http://www.expressen.se/noje/svt-redan-forberedda-pa-schlager-em-2013/|title=SVT redan förberedda på schlager-EM 2013|author=TT Spectra|date=27 May 2012|work=Expressen|language=sv|trans-title=SVT already prepared for Eurovision 2013|access-date=26 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120528050020/http://www.expressen.se/noje/svt-redan-forberedda-pa-schlager-em-2013/|archive-date=28 May 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} One alternative put forward in the Expressen was to hold the competition at three venues – the semi-finals in Gothenburg and Malmö, and the final in Stockholm.{{cite web|url=http://eurovisiontimes.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/eurovision-2013-split-over-three-cities/|title=Eurovision 2013: Split Over Three Cities?|author=Hulluna|date=5 June 2012|work=eurovisiontimes|access-date=5 June 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120607030051/http://eurovisiontimes.wordpress.com/2012/06/05/eurovision-2013-split-over-three-cities/|archive-date=7 June 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} This proposal was dismissed as unfeasible by SVT, which declared that the contest would be hosted in only one city.{{cite web|url=http://escxtra.com/2012/06/bjorkman-ends-speculation-on-three-host-cities-for-2013/ |title=General: Björkman ends speculation on three host cities for 2013 |last=Wilson |first=Ryan |date=18 June 2012 |publisher=escXtra.com |access-date=18 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120621223545/http://escxtra.com/2012/06/bjorkman-ends-speculation-on-three-host-cities-for-2013/ |archive-date=21 June 2012 }}
On 20 June 2012, it was announced that Gothenburg had withdrawn from the bidding process due to the city being the host of the Göteborg Horse Show in late April 2013. There were also concerns about the availability of hotel rooms due to a variety of other events taking place in the same time frame as the Eurovision Song Contest.{{cite web|url=http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/inget-schlager-em-i-goteborg |title=Inget schlager-EM i Göteborg |author=TT Spectra |date=20 June 2012 |work=Sydsvenskan |language=sv |trans-title=No Eurovision Song Contest in Gothenburg |access-date=20 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120622005446/http://www.sydsvenskan.se/kultur-och-nojen/inget-schlager-em-i-goteborg |archive-date=22 June 2012 }} On 9 July, the executive producer for the 2013 contest, Martin Österdahl, told the Swedish press "that he felt uncomfortable with the decisions and choices made by the countries that had previously hosted the contest", stating that he and SVT wanted the 2013 contest to be "smaller, closer and personal".{{cite web|url=http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/malmo|title=Därför fick Malmö Eurovision – Melodifestivalen|last=Dahlander|first=Gustav|date=9 July 2012|work=Sveriges Television (SVT)|language=sv|trans-title=Therefore Malmö received Eurovision Song Contest|access-date=8 August 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120815154912/http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/malmo|archive-date=15 August 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} SVT also claimed that the European Broadcasting Union (EBU) also disclosed that the EBU had asked potential future host broadcasters that "there were demands about reducing the scale of the event, given the increased costs of recent editions".
The following candidate cities had provisionally reserved venues and hotel rooms, as part of their bids to host the 2013 contest.{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/?p=36444|title=The bidding has started!|last=Gustavsson|first=Rikard|date=28 May 2012|publisher=ESCToday.com|access-date=28 May 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120530011232/http://www.esctoday.com/?p=36444|archive-date=30 May 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} On 8 July 2012, the Malmö Arena was confirmed as the host venue for the contest. Malmö Arena is Sweden's fourth-largest indoor arena, after Friends Arena, Tele2 Arena and Globe Arena, all located in Stockholm.

The voting results from each member of a particular nation's jury were combined to produce an overall ranking from first to last place. Likewise, the televoting results were also interpreted as a full ranking, taking into account the full televoting result rather than just the top ten. The combination of the jury's full ranking and the televote's full ranking produced an overall ranking of all competing entries. The song which scored the highest overall rank received 12 points, while the tenth-best ranked song received 1-point. It was announced in the official Media Handbook that an official app would also be available for voters to vote via during the contest.{{cite web|url=http://eurovoix.com/2013/04/25/malmo13-new-voting-method/|title=Malmo'13: New Voting Method|last=Granger|first=Anthony|date=25 April 2013|publisher=Eurovoix.com|access-date=25 April 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130428015444/http://eurovoix.com/2013/04/25/malmo13-new-voting-method/|archive-date=28 April 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}

The allocation draw for qualifying countries from the semi-finals occurred during the semi-final winners' press conferences following each semi-final, while the allocation draw for the Big Five countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) occurred during their first individual press conferences on 15 May 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/upload/press-downloads/2013/RehearsalSchedule2013_v1.31.pdf |title=Rehearsal schedule of the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 |date=25 April 2013 |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=25 April 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130512165449/http://www.eurovision.tv/upload/press-downloads/2013/RehearsalSchedule2013_v1.31.pdf |archive-date=12 May 2013 }} As the host country, the running order position for Sweden in the final was exclusively determined by a draw during the heads of delegation meeting on 18 March 2013. Sweden was drawn to perform 16th in the final.

As aforesaid, SVT wanted to make a good use of Malmö Arena's space to highlight the performances and increase the audience's visibility compared to previous years. SVT created a main stage and a smaller stage with higher-lower shifted floors, connected by a trail closely surrounded by a standing crowd from both sides of it and around the small stage. The main stage mobility was expressed as a main artistic medium at the opening act of the second semi-final and with highlighting Moldova's performance towards its finish, as a movable part beneath the singer's dress making her look gradually taller. The small stage mobility highlighted United Kingdom's performance towards its finish, lifted above the close-standing audience.
On 17 January 2013, at the semi-final allocation draw, the EBU revealed the graphic design, created by the Gothenburg-based branding agency Happy F&B for the 2013 contest, featuring a butterfly and the slogan "We Are One".{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=malmoe_2013_we_are_one|title=Malmö 2013: We are one|last=Siim|first=Jarmo|date=17 January 2013|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=17 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130120082137/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=malmoe_2013_we_are_one|archive-date=20 January 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} The butterfly featured an array of colours and textures, while also representing the butterfly effect idea.{{cite web|url=http://www.esctoday.com/?p=38342 |title=Happy F&B the agency to create the 2013 look |last=Repo |first=Juha |date=31 October 2012 |publisher=ESCToday.com |access-date=1 November 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160409233455/http://www.esctoday.com/?p=38342 |archive-date=9 April 2016 }} Meanwhile, the slogan "We Are One" highlighted equality and unity of all the participating countries alongside the cultural diversity and influence of each participant.
SVT confirmed on 19 February 2013 that the postcard films, used to introduce each song in the contest, would feature each artist in their respective country, to give the viewer a personal insight of each competing participant. This broke with recent tradition of the postcards often containing short segments of life within either the host city or country of the contest.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=svt_to_present_artists_in_postcards|title=SVT to 'present artists' in postcards|last=Siim|first=Jarmo|date=19 February 2013|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=19 February 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130221144413/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=svt_to_present_artists_in_postcards|archive-date=21 February 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} The postcards were produced by Camp David,{{cite magazine|url=http://www.resume.se/nyheter/tv/2013/02/19/de-far-uppdrag-for-eurovision/|last=Thambert|first=Fredrik|title=De får uppdrag för Eurovision|magazine=Resumé|access-date=19 February 2013|date=19 February 2013|language=sv|trans-title=They get assignments for Eurovision|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130222025353/http://www.resume.se/nyheter/tv/2013/02/19/de-far-uppdrag-for-eurovision/|archive-date=22 February 2013}} the on-air graphics by Broken Doll, and the animation of the butterflies by visual effects studio Swiss International.{{cite web|url=http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/om-esc/produktionsbolaget-swiss-far-vingarna-att-sla |title=Swiss får vingarna att slå i Eurovision Song Contest |language=sv |trans-title=Swiss gets wings beating in the Eurovision Song Contest |publisher=SVT |access-date=19 February 2013 |date=19 February 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130519131114/http://www.svt.se/melodifestivalen/om-esc/produktionsbolaget-swiss-far-vingarna-att-sla |archive-date=19 May 2013 }} In addition to the graphic design, there was a theme music for the contest, titled "Wolverine" and composed by Adam Kafe, which was used in the intros and in-between commercial breaks.{{cite AV media notes|title=Wolverine|others=Kafe, Adam|year=2013|url=https://music.apple.com/gb/album/wolverine-single/648537674|last=Kafe|first=Adam|type=Digital Download|publisher=iTunes Store|id=648537674|access-date=23 September 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131008222139/https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/wolverine-single/id648537674|archive-date=8 October 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}

On 11 July 2012, show producer Christer Björkman advised the public not to buy tickets for the 2013 contest that are currently in circulation and instead to wait for tickets to be released through official channels. Björkman said that official tickets had not yet been released, as necessary decisions over the stage and seating plans had not yet been made.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=63543&_t=swedish_hosts_advise_fans_on_tickets_and_accommodation_for_malmoe_2013|title=Swedish hosts advise fans on tickets and accommodation for Malmö 2013|last=Storvik-Green|first=Simon|date=11 July 2012|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=15 July 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120715052836/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=63543&_t=swedish_hosts_advise_fans_on_tickets_and_accommodation_for_malmoe_2013|archive-date=15 July 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} Björkman also gave reassurance that accommodation would be available, as while the organisers had booked a large quantity of hotel rooms, some may be made available to the general public.

On 17 October 2012, executive producer Martin Österdahl told Swedish newspaper Dagens Nyheter that SVT plans for the 2013 contest to have only one presenter for the entire event, unlike in previous years when there were up to three presenters per show. The last time only one presenter hosted the entire contest was in {{Escyr|1995}}, when the solo host was Mary Kennedy.{{cite news|url=http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&artikel=5312493|title=Just one presenter for 2013 Eurovision|author=Radio Sweden|date=17 October 2012|publisher=Sveriges Radio|access-date=1 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141105111851/http://sverigesradio.se/sida/artikel.aspx?programid=2054&artikel=5312493|archive-date=5 November 2014|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=malmoe_just_one_presenter_in_2013|title=Malmö: Just one presenter in 2013|last=Storvik-Green|first=Simon|date=17 October 2012|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=1 November 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121118072509/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=malmoe_just_one_presenter_in_2013|archive-date=18 November 2012|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}} Petra Mede was announced as the host of the 2013 contest on 28 January 2013.{{cite web|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=petra_mede_to_host_eurovision_2013|title=Petra Mede to host Eurovision Song Contest 2013|last=Siim|first=Jarmo|date=28 January 2013|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=28 January 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130927115327/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=petra_mede_to_host_eurovision_2013|archive-date=27 September 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}{{cite web|url=http://escxtra.com/2013/01/petra-mede-will-host-the-eurovision-song-contest-2013/ |title=Petra Mede will host the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 |last=Waddell |first=Nathan |date=28 January 2013 |publisher=escXtra.com |access-date=28 January 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140328015715/http://escxtra.com/2013/01/petra-mede-will-host-the-eurovision-song-contest-2013/ |archive-date=28 March 2014 }}

== Spokespersons ==
Each participating broadcaster appointed a spokesperson who was responsible for announcing, in English or French, the votes for its respective country. The order in which each country announced their votes was determined in a draw following the jury results from final dress rehearsal. Similar to the {{escyr|2012||2012 contest}} an algorithm was used to generate as much suspense as possible. The spokespersons are shown alongside each country.{{cite web|last=Roxburgh|first=Gordon|title='Good evening Malmö' – Jury order revealed|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=good_evening_malmoe_-_jury_order_revealed|publisher=European Broadcasting Union|access-date=18 May 2013|date=18 May 2013|archive-url=https://archive.today/20130519092059/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=good_evening_malmoe_-_jury_order_revealed|archive-date=19 May 2013|url-status=dead|df=dmy-all}}

Detailed voting results<span class="anchor" id="Scoreboard"></span>
The EBU published the split results of the semi-finals and final on 29 May 2013. Unlike in previous years, a full points breakdown of the jury and public voting was not revealed. Instead, an average ranking was provided for each country based on the votes of the juries and televote in isolation.{{cite web |title=Split results of Eurovision 2013 revealed |url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=split_results_of_eurovision_2013_revealed |publisher=European Broadcasting Union |access-date=2 May 2021 |date=29 May 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130604204658/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=split_results_of_eurovision_2013_revealed |archive-date=4 June 2013}}

Most countries sent commentators to Malmö or commentated from their own country, in order to add insight to the participants and, if necessary, the provision of voting information.
It was reported by the EBU that the 2013 contest was viewed by a worldwide television audience of 170 million viewers.{{cite web|url=http://www.svt.se/kultur/musik/fler-an-170-miljoner-sag-eurovision-song-contest|title=Fler än 170 miljoner såg Eurovision Song Contest|trans-title=More than 170 million watched the Eurovision Song Contest|language=sv|date=29 May 2013|work=Kulturnyheterna|publisher=Sveriges Television|access-date=29 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130622082346/http://www.svt.se/kultur/musik/fler-an-170-miljoner-sag-eurovision-song-contest|archive-date=22 June 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}
Incidents and controversies
= Azerbaijan's vote rigging =
Prior to the finals, the Lithuanian media outlet 15min released an undercover video suggesting that representatives from Azerbaijan were trying to bribe Lithuanians for votes in the televoting. The video detailed the plan, which involved recruiting groups of 10 people each, and supplying them with SIM cards so they could vote multiple times during the voting window. It was also suggested that similar activity was taking place in a total of 15 countries including Latvia, Estonia, Belarus, Ukraine, Croatia and Switzerland.{{cite web|title=Победитель "Евровидения-2013" куплен?

He stated that while Eurovision organisers were looking into the case, they "[emphasised] that the intention of these individuals have not yet been clarified, and nor has a link been established between the individuals in the video and the Azeri delegation, the Azeri act or the Azeri EBU member Ictimai TV." He added that, since 1998, when he was first involved with the contest, "every year there are rumors about irregularities in the voting".{{cite web|title=Eurovision organisers respond to media reports on voting|url=http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=87553&_t=eurovision_organisers_respond_to_media_reports_on_voting|date=21 May 2013|publisher=Eurovision Song Contest|access-date=22 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130608001221/http://www.eurovision.tv/page/news?id=87553&_t=eurovision_organisers_respond_to_media_reports_on_voting|archive-date=8 June 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}
The EBU later confirmed an attempt of cheating in the contest, which was unsuccessful according to EBU as the EBU's system prevents fraud. According to the EBU, there is no evidence that any broadcaster has been involved in cheating. The rules were changed the next year to ensure that all broadcasters would be responsible for preventing fraud to their advantage or face a three-year suspension if fraud is revealed.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-26081002|title=Eurovision Song Contest to ban cheats from show|publisher=BBC|date=7 February 2014|access-date=20 May 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150313150914/http://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-26081002|archive-date=13 March 2015|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}
However, in May 2015, a member of the contest's Reference Group confirmed that Azerbaijan had cheated, and that it was organized and very expensive.{{cite web|url=http://www.expressen.se/noje/mans-radsla-for-fusket-i-arets-eurovision/|title=Måns rädsla för fusket i årets 'Eurovision' |last=Färsjö|first=Therese|work=Expressen|date=20 May 2015|access-date=15 June 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150623100846/http://www.expressen.se/noje/mans-radsla-for-fusket-i-arets-eurovision/|archive-date=23 June 2015|url-status=live|df=dmy-all|language=sv}}
When Azerbaijan officially awarded no points to Dina Garipova of Russia, despite Garipova having reportedly come second in the country's phone poll, the Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev ordered an inquiry. The Russian Foreign Affairs Minister Sergei Lavrov claimed that the result had been falsified, and stated that "this outrageous action will not remain without a response". He promised a co-ordinated response with his Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov. Simultaneously, the Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko claimed that his own country having received no points from Russia showed that the result must have been falsified.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22609523|title=Russia: Azerbaijan's Eurovision snub 'outrageous'|work=BBC News|date=21 May 2013|access-date=21 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130607100543/http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-22609523|archive-date=7 June 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}

Allegations of plagiarism against the winning Danish entry "Only Teardrops" surfaced after Eric van Tijn, a notable Dutch music producer, mentioned the opening flute solo's similarity to "I Surrender", a 2002 song by the Dutch band K-Otic. However, Van Tijn also stated that the flute solo was the only similarity between the two songs, thus calling it "a storm in a teacup".{{cite news|title=One in three watch Anouk but is the Eurovision winner a Dutch copy?|url=http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2013/05/one_in_three_watch_anouk_but_i.php|access-date=22 May 2013|publisher=DutchNews.nl|date=19 May 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130625225539/http://www.dutchnews.nl/news/archives/2013/05/one_in_three_watch_anouk_but_i.php|archive-date=25 June 2013|url-status=live|df=dmy-all}}

The performance of the Finnish entry, "Marry Me", caused controversy in some countries broadcasting the contest. The act featured Krista Siegfrids and one of her female backing singers kissing each other at the end, widely labelled in media as Eurovision's first "lesbian kiss". Siegfrids stated to the media that the act was done to encourage Finland to legalise same-sex marriage. It was reported that Turkish and Greek media reacted negatively to Siegfrids' act.{{cite news|last= Wyatt|first= Daisy|title= Eurovision 2013 to feature first lesbian kiss in protest against lack of gay marriage legislation|work= The Independent|date= 17 May 2013|url= https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/eurovision-2013-to-feature-first-lesbian-kiss-in-protest-against-lack-of-gay-marriage-legislation-8621231.html|access-date= 22 May 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130607172441/http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/eurovision-2013-to-feature-first-lesbian-kiss-in-protest-against-lack-of-gay-marriage-legislation-8621231.html|archive-date= 7 June 2013|url-status= live|df= dmy-all}} According to Gay Star News, the Turkish broadcaster TRT, which had previously decided not to participate itself, initially indicated that it would still broadcast the contest, but made a late decision not to do so.{{cite web|last1= Morgan|first1= Joe|last2= Littauer|first2= Dan|title= Turkey cancels Eurovision Song Contest over lesbian kiss|publisher= Gay Star News|date= 16 May 2013|url= http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/turkey-cancels-eurovision-song-contest-over-lesbian-kiss160513|access-date= 22 May 2013|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20130607183615/http://www.gaystarnews.com/article/turkey-cancels-eurovision-song-contest-over-lesbian-kiss160513|archive-date= 7 June 2013|url-status= live|df= dmy-all}}

Green room host Eric Saade referred to Petra Mede as a "MILF" on air during the break between the first and second halves of the voting, saying "Back to you, Petra. #MILF". When the broadcaster for the United Kingdom, BBC aired this, the sound was lost.
