Aka. "Destination Anywhere", "The Boy and Girl from County Bavaria"... After a very intense year in Würzburg (Germany), I'm back in Salamanca. I probably won't have that many experiences to write, but there's always an excuse to post a new entry!

And the winner is...

SHARON JANNY FECKIN' DEN ADEL!!!

It's official - she's our new queen! :D All the campaigning was worth it in the end... thanks to all those who voted for her (ok, and also to those who didn't vote for her :P) Of course, as you can imagine I'm very very happy with this. I can't wait for the whole special edition thing to start, since I had thought of questions I'd like to ask her even before this whole competition started... I promise I'll keep you all informed!

These were the results:

1. Sharon den Adel - 36% (41279 votes)

2. Tarja Turunen - 35% (39973 votes)

3. Simone Simons - 14% (15592 votes)

4. Cristina Scabbia - 4% (4458 votes)

5. Floor Jansen - 2% (1852 votes)

Apparently, most of the time it was all between her and Tarja (who I adore, too, by the way, even though I was a bit bored that she always wins this kind of polls), but in the end Sharon pulled it off. I can't deny that I experienced a certain schadenfreude to see the huge difference in votes between numbers 2 and 3 (take that, Simone!) Life is beautiful, isn't it? :) Anyways, congratulations to all the ladies on the Top 5... and special mentions to Liv Kristine, Charlotte Wessels and Melissa Ferlaak, who should have had more votes!
