Iceland's entry Systur - who all happen to be sisters - are giving a soulful performance of their song Með Hækkandi Sól, which is a country folk song.

Remember these are just the jury votes. It's the UK! It's now time to find out what Sweden have received from the public. Moving onto Australia, who have been given 2 points from the public. And well done to the UK's Sam Ryder for coming second.

After 4 hours of music, performances, entertainment and excitement, Kalush Orchestra from Ukraine was crowned as the winner of the 65th Eurovision Song Contest ...

The 66th Eurovision Song Contest took place on 10, 12 and 14 May 2022. - If two countries had the same points, the best of the two was the song which obtained points from the highest number of countries. If the tying songs had received points from the same number of countries, the highest number of 12-point scores would be decisive. In a statement from EBU the word "war" was not mentioned. Ukraine's public broadcaster UA:PBC determined the final eight artists competing to represent the country at Eurovision 2022. The Ukrainiain broadcaster UA:PBC decided to independently hold a national selection after its three-year cooperation with STB came to an end.

"It has become really close to the hearts of so many people in Ukraine." When a country is unwilling or unable to run the show, another broadcaster usually steps in... "Obviously, there are unique challenges involved in hosting next year's competition. The country hasn't been in the top 10 since Jade Ewen came fifth in 2009. However, as in any other year, we look forward to discussing all the requirements and responsibilities involved in hosting the competition with UA:PBC and all other stakeholders to ensure we have the most suitable setup for the 67th Eurovision Song Contest." most recently in 1980, when the Netherlands took over from Israel, who declined to host the contest after winning for two years in a row. Earlier this week, it was revealed that President Macron of France had tried to get Maneskin disqualified from the contest as a result of the incident. The winning country usually stages the show, but Ukraine is unlikely to have that capability, after its state broadcaster, UA:PBC, was targeted in the opening days of the war. "After it all started with the war and the hostilities, it took on additional meaning, and many people started seeing it as their mother, Ukraine, in the meaning of the country," Psiuk said last week. "Have fun and don't get close to the table," he deadpanned, referencing the controversy that arose last year when he was falsely accused of snorting cocaine in the green room. In both 2019 and 2021, the UK came last. "This is a red letter moment," said Graham Norton, who presented the contest on BBC One. "I am so happy for him, for the UK and for the BBC who have worked so hard to turn our fortunes."

Eurovision 2022 host Mika isn't in this year's competition, but there are calls to give him 12 points after his savage performance.

The last time the UK won Eurovision was 25 years ago in 1997, with Katrina and the Waves. Mika was absolutely massive in the mid-2000’s, and it seems his career is in for a comeback as he wowed fans with his performance at the grand final. Sam made the UK proud as he smashed his performance of Space Man, with the UK’s chances of winning higher than they have been in recent memory.

Here are some things to know about the voice of the UK ahead of the Eurovision Song Contest 2022 Grand Final this evening... His near-death experience. It could ...

However, in September 2020 he said that Madge had passed away back in December 2019, while Bailey died close to October 2020 in Cork at the age of 15. In January 2012, his home was burgled and the keys to his Lexus were stolen. According to an article by the Irish Examiner, when he was younger Graham pretended to have a stomach ache to get him out of going to school. An elderly couple were the ones to discover Graham in the street, saving his life when they called for an ambulance. He lost around half of his blood and spent two and a half weeks in hospital recovering. He's not afraid to say what he sees (and feels) and viewers at home love him for it, as they did when it was the late, great Sir Terry Wogan on the mic.

Laura Pausini has been dubbed one of the most respected Italian recording artists in the world. The singer, who also speaks Spanish, has won four Latin Grammys, a Grammy Award and a Golden Globe. Alessandro Cattelan, meanwhile, has forged a successful career presenting TV and radio, spanning 20 years. He also presented satirical news programme Le Iene on channel Italia 1. Some 26 acts will be performing their hearts out to be crowned Eurovision champion in Turin, Italy on Saturday night (May 14). The Lollipop singer told The One Show: "I learnt it in a couple of months, luckily my Italian is better now, the ironic thing about this whole thing is that I'm going to do Eurovision, the biggest TV show Italy has ever had to put on, and the whole thing is in English."

GRAHAM NORTON has detailed Italy's tactics in the Eurovision Song Contest and why they wouldn't want to win the competition for the second year in a row.

These things are of course really easier said than done," the singer explained. Graham Norton was also back to give his witty commentary throughout the programme. I think that’s important.” TikTok star Sam Ryder, who represented the UK, is one of 25 countries that took part in the competition. As the audience gave the duo a round of applause, Graham commented on how they wouldn't want to win again as a country.

Fans couldn't believe their ears as the Eurovision jury scores were read out.

@Purple_HieMoa said: "This is all even more evidence that we should abolish the jury." Scrap the “tour”. Much quicker." However, many viewers think the lengthy jury votes section should be scrapped before next year's event.

Stefania by Kalush Orchestra rides wave of public sympathy to claim Ukraine's third Eurovision victory.

Despite the UK finishing second, Ukraine’s victory does still give the BBC a glimmer of hope of staging the event again for the first time since 1998. It was sung in English and Crimean Tatar, and came two years after the Russian Federation had annexed Crimea after the 2014 invasion. A hi-tech element named the “kinetic sun” was supposed to revolve, allowing acts to use either a giant LED screen or a wall of lights. She issued an apology explaining that she had been trying to throw it across to a member of her team who was too far away to catch it. Ewan Spence from the Eurovision Insight Podcast told the Guardian from Turin that “throughout the week, the singers, the broadcasters, the community have proudly stood with Kalush Orchestra and Ukraine. This will always stand as a victory at Eurovision; but it means so much more. But after the points from the public vote were added, it finished second.

EUROVISION 2022 looks set to be won by bookmakers' favourites Ukraine however historical data suggests Sweden could be crowned this year's champions.

Interest in the hosts is fading, which will come as great news to Ukraine, UK and Sweden." Eurovision will take place in Turin this year after Måneskin took home the title for Italy in 2021. “Thanks to the likes of Eurovision legends ABBA, Sweden is the greatest performing nation of all time, and the odds suggest they’re in with a great chance of winning it for a sixth time. But they now sit at fourth in the betting with odds as big as 9/1 while Sweden has slipped into third position at 7/1. Sweden is the most successful nation having accumulated 6351 points in the contest’s history and sit at the top of the table. The host nation had been performing well with bookmakers but earlier in the week slipped out of the top three in favour of Sweden. Now, historical data points to Sweden taking Eurovision by storm and potentially winning the competition over frontrunner Ukraine.

Fifteen years ago, I landed in Finland's to cover my first ever Eurovision Song Contest. That year, the British entry was Scooch's Flying The Flag (For You) ...

This is the result we should have been having, and we have to make sure the UK is a powerhouse of Eurovision for years to come." "Watch this space," says Sam. "The UK is going to be a force next year. The UK is going to bust down doors to be a part of Eurovision next year. Sam was sent to every corner of Europe, familiarising fans with his song, and building up a unshakeable buzz. It was lovely for once to be able to really dig into the Elton John part of my personality." The result, as we all found out on Saturday night, was the UK's best result at Eurovision since 1998. Space Man had already earned Sam a record deal when TaP approached him to enter Eurovision. But it wasn't just the song that impressed them. "It was something that we hadn't particularly thought about," David says. If you had spent thousands of pounds developing an act, why expose them to the risk of coming last and ending their career before it began? In the three years after, it was... Record labels stopped putting acts forward for the contest and, in turn, the standard of our entries dropped. It was outdated, irrelevant, and nothing to do with contemporary music.

The song has been interpreted by some as a critique of Serbia's public healthcare system. There was a lot of hand washing on stage as well. Their song - Give That Wolf A Banana - ended up in 10th position. Sheldon Riley represented Australia this year with his song Not The Same, coming 15th. The set design was pretty spectacular - not to mention his celestial jumpsuit. After all the hype, this year's Eurovision Song Contest didn't disappoint, with some eclectic performances and costumes to match.

Ukraine's folk-rap group Kalush Orchestra captured the imagination of fans across the continent.

In a bar in central Kyiv, not far from the city's famous golden roofed Saint Sophia Cathedral, a small Eurovision viewing party was taking place on Saturday night. Alluding to the rule that a winner of the previous year's competition gets to host the contest, he said: "Next year Ukraine will host Eurovision! For the third time in its history. "The soldiers would come in to get some rest, we were cooking food for them -- borscht, soups, meat, potatoes, there wasn't much selection at the time," he said. The event in Turin saw several of the elaborate and camp performances that have become Eurovision's hallmark. "On some days there are rockets flying over people's houses and it is like a lottery -- no one knows where it will hit," Psyuk told CNN this week ahead of his performance. We will do our best to one day host the participants and guests of Eurovision in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, rebuilt!"

Kalush Orchestra shared their reaction to winning the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest for Ukraine with the song 'Stefania', in the winner's Press Conference.

We have a temporary authorisation to be here, and it ends in two days. It’s pretty late in Ukraine, so I have decided that I will call her tomorrow. As fans know, the song Stefania was written to honour Oleg’s mother. Talk soon turns to whether or not Ukraine plans to do this, given the current situation in the country. The band take great pride in their win, and have enjoyed the song’s journey to get here. You can listen to Ukrainian music, watch Ukrainian films, and visit Ukraine. Apart from us, there are so many talented people in Ukraine doing music and doing so many other creative outlets.

Of course, it got a lot stranger from there with mentions of various skin conditions and enlarged spleens. Ireland’s elimination from the contest continued to surprise many Eurovision watchers across the world during the grand finale. Last year, James Newman, Britain’s entry, suffered the biggest embarrassment of the night — receiving no points from the judges, and none from the public either. He added: “We will do our best to one day host the participants and guests of Eurovision in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, rebuilt!” Mika was one of three presenters hosting this year’s contest from Turin, Italy to many people’s surprise. Not sure you have a name, so I will call you Keith.” Some even requested they hand the title over to him. It was the first time Britain has finished with zero since 2003. Yes, you read that right and that’s not all. Having won the jury vote from around Europe with 283 points, it was looking like the United Kingdom’s sixth Eurovision win was in sight. Here are a few of this year’s talking points. Ukrainian acts have been among the Eurovision favourites for years.

Suspected attempts to manipulate the jury voting – The European Broadcasting Union (EBU) removes the jury votes from six countries.

Instead an "aggregated result" for each country was calculated and used instead. - Georgia - Azerbaijan

Torino was filled with fire, flare, and fans who packed the Pala Alpitour Arena for Eurovision 2022, where a fan favourite took out the win.

The Kalush Orchestra was formed in 2019. They finished with 631 points—the second highest in Eurovision history. It is the U.K.‘s best result since 1998, and follows a dismal performance last year in which they finished last with zero points. It’s believed over 1,000 journalists covered the event from their own countries. After the rap group performed their song, they addressed millions of viewers watching the final. ‘Stefania’ is also the second Eurovision entry to be performed entirely in Ukrainian.

This year's Eurovision Song Contest saw a major issue regarding the voting in several countries.

Even Ukrainians don’t think it was the best song.. It continued: ‘The EBU takes any suspected attempts to manipulate the voting at the Eurovision Song Contest extremely seriously and has the right to remove such votes in accordance with the Official Voting Instructions, irrespective of whether or not such votes are likely to influence the results and/or outcome of the voting.’ In a statement shared on the Eurovision website, the union said: ‘In the analysis of jury voting by the European Broadcasting Union’s (EBU) pan-European voting partner after the Second Dress Rehearsal of the Second Semi-Final of the 2022 Eurovision Song Contest, certain irregular voting patterns were identified in the results of six countries.

Kalush Orchestra's feat has been hailed as a demonstration of Europe's continuing support for Ukraine, while hopes rise that next year's contest could be ...

Last year’s victors, Italian rock band Maneskin, went onto a tour with The Rolling Stones and have had three hits in the UK top 40 singles chart. “This year we had all three and we were rewarded for it,” he said. We should be entering our best and last night proved that when you do that, you get the points.” We shouldn’t be entering something that we’re expecting to lose. “[He] oozes authenticity and freedom – and that’s partly down to having 12 million TikTok followers. This allows a rekindling of people’s interests and awareness,” she said. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky also shared a hopeful statement following the win. That connection meant he could be fully committed.” Ms Romanenko hoped the statement would keep the spotlight on what is happening in her country. “It doesn’t feel like very fitting times for celebrations,” she said. “But this year it was a bit different for me personally. Maria Romanenko, 30, from Kyiv, was among those watching the feat at home.

The group was granted special permission to leave the country, where men aged 18 to 60 could be called up to fight, but must return to Ukraine by Monday.

“She’s really proud of me and she’s really happy,” he said. “We will do our best to one day host the participants and guests of Eurovision in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, rebuilt! Speaking at a press conference following their victory on Saturday, Psiuk said: “We have a temporary authorisation to be here and it ends in two days. “Lately, the Ukrainian culture has been attacked, and we are here to prove Ukrainian culture and Ukrainian music are alive, and they have their own very special and very beautiful signature,” he added. And exactly in two days we are going to back in Ukraine. Eurovision winners Kalush Orchestra are preparing to return to Ukraine after storming to victory at the contest in Turin on Saturday night.

The 32-year-old Tik Tok star was one of 25 acts vying for the top prize during the climax of the week-long contest in Turin, Italy. And after the jury results, ...

@Sportywagon applauded: "What a voice, what a song, what a performance. @MittenDAmour commented: "This is legit one of the best of the night. He took to the stage in a dazzling one piece encrusted with planets, moons and stars made of beads and pearls. Graham Norton, who once again anchored the contest on BBC One, said: “What a powerhouse performance. Sam Ryder took to the stage with an upbeat performance of his uplifting pop song Space Man. The group was dressed in elaborate outfits, including long multi-coloured fringed ensembles, a pink bucket hat and others in traditional patterns.

Fans have reacted after Ukraine's Kalush Orchestra beat UK entrant Sam Ryder to win last night's (May 14) Eurovision Song Contest in Turin.

Reviewing last night’s Eurovision, NME wrote: “Eurovision 2022 was all about looking forward: Sam Ryder reminding us that the UK can actually win this thing, and Ukraine showing the world just how much agency it has. — liv (@liv_liv_liv__)May 14, 2022 the first left hand side since 2011. The UK went from receiving the worst score in#Eurovisionhistory to finishing 2nd. Congratulations Sam.” “SECOND PLACE! This is an incredible moment, no time to be too disappointed,” one wrote.

Like millions of Ukrainians, Falkovskaya was celebrating the victory of Ukrainian band Kalush Orchestra at the Eurovision Song Contest. The band's victory, ...

The video is dedicated to “the brave Ukrainian people,” the “mothers protecting children” and to “those who gave their lives to our freedom,” it says. The weapons: Ukraine is making use of weapons such as Javelin antitank missiles and Switchblade “kamikaze” drones, provided by the United States and other allies. The members of Kalush Orchestra received special permission to travel to Italy for Eurovision, even though Ukraine has banned most men between 18 and 60 from leaving the country in case they are called to fight. The children are reunited with their families in refugee centers and train stations, as the service members — all women — stare into the camera, some of them in tears. “It is impossible to hold back tears.” On Sunday, the band released a music video for “Stefania,” the song that helped secure its first-place Eurovision finish, that was filmed in war-torn areas of Ukraine. “The world needs to see it!” the message said. “This video was filmed in Bucha, Irpin, Borodyanka, Hostomel, cities near Kyiv that suffered the horrors of Russian occupation,” it reads. It is the latest example of Ukraine’s use of cultural diplomacy amid its conflict with Russia. “I ask for all of you, please help Ukraine, Mariupol. Help Azovstal right now,” Psiuk said after the band performed at the grand finale. This is how Ukraine’s Eurovision presenter and commentator Timur Miroshnychenko reacted to the news of Kalush Orchestra’s victory. Next year, Ukraine is expected to host the competition, an occasion that Zelensky said he believes will not be the last.

It was another spectacular contest, packed with banana-wolf men, Graham Norton's quips and welcome shows of European unity.

The song was incredibly catchy, the dance was TikTok worthy, the lyrics were appropriately creepy; “I want your grandma yum yum” projected on to the big screen was memorable, to say the least. This year, Mika joined Allesandro Cattelan and Laura Pausini in Turin. “There are 180 million people watching this” said Norton, in disbelief, as the presenters acted out a particularly unfunny, intensely European, episode. Whether this was down to the quality of our song – Sam Ryder’s “Space Man” – or our support for Ukraine in their time of need – who knows. While France failed to resonate, ticket holders in Turin’s PalaOlimpico were ignited by Italy’s Mahmood and Blanco. The pair constituted a complete about turn from last year’s leather-clad winners – Måneskin, but in this game, repetition can be your worst enemy. Accustomed to settling for last place, as was the case for James Newman last year and Michael Rice in 2019, bookies had forecast the UK to come in fourth. Perhaps they would have won, no matter the quality of their act, but that doesn’t matter.

Europe doesn't hate the UK after all, it was just waiting for a decent song. This is what seasoned Eurovision watchers concluded after seeing Sam Ryder take ...

He predicted that next year the UK would go one better, telling Radio 4’s Broadcasting House: “Next year, it’s going to be mad. “Being in that arena and witnessing this tangible energy of life, was incredible.” But what really mattered on Saturday, said Bryan, was the strength and the memorability of the song, co-written with the Ed Sheeran collaborator Amy Wadge. And the brilliance of the live performance. “Someone was telling me that Sam Ryder’s song was played this morning on Capital Radio. That sounds an odd thing to say, but Capital Radio don’t play Eurovision entries.” That was rubbish, the BBC’s Eurovision host Graham Norton said after the contest on Saturday. “All those people wanging on about Europe hates us. The victory led to President Volodymyr Zelenskiy defiantly promising that the contest would “one day” be held in Mariupol.

All eyes are on Ukranian band Kalush Orchestra, who won the annual song contest by a landslide. Here's how some are reacting to the win — and your other ...

I was in seventh heaven," he said. This is extremely nice,” said Julia Vashenko, a 29-year-old teacher. "The EBU takes any suspected attempts to manipulate the voting at the Eurovision Song Contest extremely seriously and has the right to remove such votes in accordance with the Official Voting Instructions, irrespective of whether or not such votes are likely to influence the results and/or outcome of the voting," it said in a statement. I was jumping. "We will do everything so that, one day, the participants and guests of Eurovision are hosted in Ukrainian Mariupol. Free, peaceful, restored." One of the original members stayed back to fight, and the others will return home in the coming days.

Overexcited: Luckily, Pausini managed to make it back on stage in time for the big announcement. Azerbaijan's Nadir Rustamli sang on a large bleacher Eurovision is synonymous with extravagant set design, and this year's live show was no different. Britain's Sam Ryder performed inside a large metal cage, which was wheeled onstage by crew members Audience members were all given special love-heart flags at the beginning of the night, but were told not to wave them until Mika took to the stage at the end of the show.

Flemish broadcaster VRT has claimed that the six national juries with irregular voting patterns wanted to team up to give each other points.

In 2014, the EBU blocked Georgia’s jury score after they found that scores of the jury members were too similar. Most recently, in 2019, Belarus’ final jury result was infamously annulled after jury members had spoken about their favourites publicly in the media. It’s not the first time that the EBU has decided to scrap jury scores.
