We all know the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest is going to be held in Düsseldorf. It's an interesting choice, and many fans are still wondering why we're not going to Berlin. As it turns out, there wasn't that much choice in the matter. From the moment Lena finished the reprise of Satellite, the decision on the host city was already obvious.

It's a given that every Eurovision song comes with its own promotional clip, otherwise, what would all the preview parties show? Whether it be the performance from the National Final, or a blown-out, big-budget film production, there are plenty of beauties to be seen. ESC Insight selects our 12 must-see promotional clips of the last decade to start the new year off with a Eurovision bang!
