FINAL POSITION for 2010 - Songs 20 to 11

44 POINTS - Love Shine A Light
After 16 year long years, the UK finally got it win, back in 1997. Of course, it still ranks as the song with the highest number of points, long before all participating countries got to vote, even if they don't make the ESC Grand Final. I guess the song has become a little tired now, but still good to make a Top Twenty position.




46 POINTS - No, No Never
A lot was expected from this song at the ESC, especially as it became the biggest selling single in Germany that year. It was disappointing back then, to see them unable to make a top ten position in 2006, but great to see them in the Eurovision Champions Grand Final for the very first time. Go Jane and the Cowboys !!




46 POINTS - Un Arbre, Un Banc, Une Rue
Monaco's ever present song in the Grand Final.....nothing ever changes here, with another mid-table final result. No doubt we'll see her again next year, at possibly 18th position. Anyone wish to place a bet on that.....





46 POINTS - Every Way That I Can
Turkey got their one and only win after the most exciting voting sequence since possibly 1991 and 1998 ESC's. Sertab can be very proud to have finally pulled it off for Turkey, and seems to have led the way to some good quality songs from that country ever since.





55 POINTS - This Is My Life
After failing to make any ESC Grand Final since 2003, Iceland were back with a bang, sending in one if their most energetic songs ever. They didn't quite land a position at the ESC like Selma or Yohanna, but well done for getting into the Top Twenty here.





56 POINTS - Vuelve Conmigo
A perennial favourite from Spain, and being a true evergreen. Anabel still manages to get the votes after all these year's even if the competition in the Spanish round is always competitive, if not the most competitive. Well done in getting into the Top Fifteen here.....





59 POINTS - Lejla
Bosnia Herzegovina's best.....ever. It could probably take a few years for them to top their ESC performance, and Lejla will continue to make our own Grand Final for quite a few years to come I reckon. A true gem !!






61 POINTS - Lane Moje
Another runner-up at the ESC, another good performance at Eurovision Champions. However, Zeljko just couldn't pull off another win here, after being crowned champion in 2008. He definitely has some stiff competition in the Serbian round nowadays, so it could be a tussle to see who makes the Grand Final for the next few years.




62 POINTS - Diva
What a winner!!! This song truly blew the socks off everyone when it won in Birmingham. Dana International went onto a successful career (I still have all her CD's), and she finally put Israel back into the ESC Grand Final again in 2008 with Boaz's fantastic song. A true DIVA...go Dana.





68 POINTS - Senhora Do Mar
This is one helluva song. After so many misses for Portugal this is the one that earned Portugal an ESC Grand Final place after years in the wilderness. Vania had it all: the vampish look, the best lyrics, the amazing performance, the incredible music...... This song will be up there for years to come.






TIME TO MOVE ONTO THE FINAL TOP TEN
