Have always loved this song, but faced fierce competition in this contest and unfortunately struggled to pick up more than the small points.

I thought this might happen. I was won over by the Serbian presentation, when Sanja looked like Kate Bush suffering from St Vitus Dance, but the song and presentation at ESC fell flat, with many of the quirky movements cut out.

Disappointed at only 2 from BBAnne though, as she had a girl-crush on Sanja...

With all respect to thms, I have no idea how this didn't finish last! It's just all wrong, on every level - the song, the dress, the staging, the dancing... If Emmelie de Forest could still move her face she'd be frowning with disapproval right now...

Last again had a feeling it wouldn't score too well. Love the song though, so thought I'd try it

There was a bizarre spate of people voting for too many songs/the same song twice/songs that weren't actually in the contest, although in fairness one put it down to being drunk when they voted...

Look up "hot mess" in the online dictionary and there's just a gif of her wiggling her tits.

Missing out in a tie break, it's another of our winners, and that amazing moment when DSFE cult hero Jamala actually bloody won Eurovision.

Winning the tie break, no doubt thanks to the armography going on in the background, it's Bobby Bellarosa.

Into the top 10, it's the first of our duets. A fantastic song, although I still think they should have done much much more with the staging, it ended up getting lost a bit between Bojana and Mans in the running order in Vienna.

Our second highest winner in this contest is Mans Zelmerlow, who got four sets of big points, but not much else. I think it may be my favourite Eurovision song of any year, not just the last five years.

Next is a surprise result for me, this was easily the most requested song, four people wanted it and in fact three requested it on the first night, but that didn't translate into the points I expected.

One of those to miss out on Margaret Berger was big bro geek, but his fourth choice did better in the end.

Everything else on my list of 5 choices has beaten me! Went for Margaret because I hadn't listened to this in a while and IFYML hadn't been used before. Thanks for all the votes.
