Big day for "Old Europe," eh? Took you 16
editions, no less. :) We have a brand new first-time winner and
he is Martin and it is Ireland! Congratulations to both,
especially Ireland for wooing us with a mesmerizing and
heart-warming ballad. As you can see, the race was quite tight
and it seemed like anyone could win at any point. The votes were
all over the place, meaning that either the songs were shit,
great or equally mediocre. For me, they mark our best Worldbeat
in a long time. Congratulations to everyone on a great special
edition. Let's see what you can do next time!
