ESF 23 finished!

With all 24 competing Eurovisie countries having their say RTE commentator Dominic McDonough had plenty to talk about

In the end ESF 23 turned out to be one of the closest competitions in years, as last years winner Luxembourg did it again. But only by the skin of their teeth.
Sylvers song Lay all your love on me bagged only 91 points in the final voting, not all of them from neighbours. It was a last gasp win however as up to six countries could have snatched the victory with the final votes being cast. It was Luxembourg who received 6 points of the final jury however (Hungary), giving them an absolutely decisive victory on final night in Germany and the nation's fourth win in the contest.

Trailing second was Finland who will be very disappointed to have came so close and be pipped at the post by only three points.
Norway who came third will also be disappointed as they became the favourite in the betting earlier on.

The score board was so close in the end that only 10 points separated 1st and 5th place and many feel this has been good for the contest as a whole.

Full praise should go to Germany who gave us a fantastic contest and managed a 9th place in the final shake up.

Thoughts now turn to ESF 24 and who will be the next host.
Many countries withdrew from this edition so we hope that the close and exciting voting will temp some of them back. Big names like Netherlands and France are expected to return but others such as Ukraine, Turkey, Denmark and India face an uncertain future.
