Eye Cue failed to qualify for the final of Eurovision 2018 in Lisbon with\u00a0Lost and Found<\/em>, but the Macedonian duo receive a prize nonetheless. They are awarded the (in?)famous\u00a0Barbara Dex Award<\/em> for the worst dressed artist of the past Eurovision Song Contest. Australia and Belgium come in second and third places.<\/p>\n

Eye Cue obtained the highest amount of votes, mainly due to the outfit of female singer Marija Ivanovska. She started off her performance with a bright pink cape and tight shorts, the former of which was later on replaced with a top with a very interesting pattern. The shirt of Bojan Trajkovski is rather interesting as well … By the way, Eye Cue are the second Macedonian representatives to be awarded with the\u00a0BDA<\/em>. Back in 2005, singer Martin Vu\u010di\u0107 already scooped up the award.<\/p>\n

No tight race<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eurovision fans from all over the world voted Australia’s Jessica Mauboy and Belgium’s Sennek to the second and third places in the ranking. But the voting wasn’t exactly a nail biter: the Macedonians started off and held on to their lead with ease throughout the voting week.<\/p>\n

The top five:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. FYR Macedonia – Eye Cue<\/li>\n
  2. Australia – Jessica Mauboy<\/li>\n
  3. Belgium – Sennek<\/li>\n
  4. Montenegro –\u00a0Vanja Radovanovi\u0107<\/li>\n
  5. Israel – Netta<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It’s the second year running that the Belgian Eurovision website Songfestival.be has been granted the honour of organizing and handing out the\u00a0Barbara Dex Award<\/em>. Again, we received thousands of votes from all over the world.<\/p>\n

    The\u00a0BDA\u00a0<\/em>is named after the 1993 Belgian Eurovision representative Barbara Dex. Her self-designed dress sparked a lot of debate – but not exactly in the most positive of ways!\u00a0Check here the full overview of all past winners!<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
