The Eurovision Song Contest 2016 is over and has a winner. Ukraine has won the 61st Edition of the song contest. The Silver went to Australia, Russia grabbed bronze. Belgium and Netherlands were 10th and 11th respectively.

26 countries and songs remained over after the semi-finals and faced each other in the final. Juries (50%) and public vote (50%) from all 42 participating countries together determined the outcome. For the first time they gave each separate points from one to twelve, making the scores double layers. Ukraine was the consensus winner winner: Jamala ended at jury and audience on a second place with her song 1944. The jury chose convincing for Dami Im from Australia, but he was rewarded by the public only with a fourth place. Vice versa was audience favorite Sergey from Russia fifth at the jurors.

There were large differences between the preferences of the juries and the viewers: Poland was second last at the juries with just seven points but grabbed the bronze at telestemmers really with 222 points. Other way around finished Ira Losco from Malta in the top-4 at the jury vote, but she was pretty much ignored by the voting viewers. Also in France, Israel, Spain, Austria and the United Kingdom Georgia, the differences were great. At the bottom of the standings finished Jamie-Lee from Germany. Gabriela from the Czech Republic stayed with the viewers puntenloos behind and did it in the long run one spot better.
