For the very first time ever, after 26 editions, we have a tie for the first place! Both songs deserve it and so there is no tie-break here. This will be Roger's first and much-awaited victory, while Umur wins for the second time. Big comeback for Turkey in the past several editions and good going for Roger for finally making with a wonderful song.

The top 3 is equal to my own top 3, something that has not happened before, I don't think. So, we have France in the third position, as Xavier comes back to Worldbeat, while Jonas shows off his bubble gum pop roots with the infectious tune from Sweden. Rounding out the top 5 is Miroslav and Serbia & Montenegro, which should be dubbed the surprise of the edition.

Good one, again, folks... And what a cool finish :) Well, maybe not so much for Roger, who's been waiting for a win for a long time only to have to share it when he finally did. But well, great bunch of songs! Now, let's take a break, enjoy the crazy world of ESC and we shall come back in June!
