The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Netherlands, 6
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Finland, Denmark, Suriname, Belgium, Colombia and Jamaica
Countries receiving points from most juries / Netherlands, 20
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / San Marino in 13th with 10 points from Belgium, United States, Italy and Sweden as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Liechtenstein in 25th, getting 12 points from Portugal
Yet another country was added to the list of Global Music Champions, as Netherlands finally came out on top. In a somewhat distant 2nd place Portugal took home their first silver medal to be added to their 5 medals of gold. The bronze medal was won by Mexico who thus became the first wild card to claim a medal! Germany and Andorra rounded out the top 5.
Netherlands was one of the founding members of Global Music, but they had to wait until their 99th participation to win the big trophy! Their first top 10 result was achieved in GM/07, and the first medal - one of bronze - came in GM/09. It has, however, always been up and down for Netherlands, and they have missed the final in almost every third participation. They have also come very close to victory before, winning 4 silver medals, first claimed by Glennis Grace in GM/29 and then followed by Petra Berger in GM/42, Kim-Lian and Linda Bengtzing in GM/49 and Mr Probz in GM/106. Netherlands now has a total of 8 medals and has finished in the top 10 26 times. As for Sharon Doorson in the last edition, this was also third time lucky for Lisa Lois. She previously represented Netherlands in GM/54 and /60 finishing in 7th and 6th place respectively, but now she went all the way. The Dutch HoD, Klaasjan, was responsible for the Dutch entries from GM/06 to GM/61, before representing a few other countries for shorter periods. After a longer break away from the contest Klaasjan returned as Dutch HoD in GM/101 placing Netherlands in the top 5 twice before crowning his efforts with a gold medal! Well done Netherlands, Lisa and Klaasjan!
