Germany won the annual Eurovision Song Contest late Saturday in Oslo by a comfortable margin over the nearest rival Turkey, dpa reported.
19-year-old Lena Meyer-Landrut said "this is not real."
"I am so happy and so thankful, I never thought we could do this," Lena said before she stepped up to sing her winning entry Satellite once again, quipping "do I have to sign now?"
"This is absolutely aweseome" she said from the stage.
Norway hosted the event after winning the 2009 event in Russia, TV audiences all over Europe vote for the best pop song. Germany will host the 2011 finals performances.
There were competitors from 25 countries in the final of this year's 55th annual contest.
As the winner, Germany will host the event in 2011.
Germany won the 55th annual competition with 246 points, followed by Turkey with 170 and Rumania with 162.
Azerbaijan's Safura Alizade held 5th place.
Lena's victory represented the first time in 28 years that Germany took first place. The last Grand Prize for Germany was for the singer Nicole, with "A Little Peace."
Even before the end of the three-hour competition in Oslo, as six country votes were still out, Lena was not to be beaten.
Nine countries gave her the highest vote of 12 points: Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Spain, Slovakia, Latvia, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden. Only five of the 38 participating countries gave no votes to Lena.
