The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Andorra and Australia, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Netherlands, Ghana, Mexico, Italy and Hong Kong
Countries receiving points from most juries / Denmark, 25
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Finland in 13th with 10 points from United Kingdom, Luxembourg and Iceland as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Italy in 22nd, getting 12 points from Cyprus and Greece
It was a really close battle for the gold between Andorra and Australia with the latter coming strong towards the end securing Australia its 6th victory. Andorra settled into second place while Denmark took the bronze medal. Ghana - with their best result to date - and Switzerland rounded out the top 5.
Australia debuted back in GM/04 with Delta Goodrem getting a mediocre result, but the first top 10 result was already obtained on their second participation in GM/06. In the early days their participations was, however, infrequent, and it wasn't until GM/23 that Australia became a regular contestant. The first triumph came in GM/24 when Delta Goodrem was sent for a second time. This was, however, not Delta's first victory, as she had already won the contest for Ireland in GM/13. Australia now entered a strong period with another four medals and several top 10s before gold shone upon them again in GM/50, when Guy Sebastian and Jordin Sparks lifted the trophy. After a downturn in the results, Australia hit it big again in GM/84 with Samantha Jade, and has since won another 3 gold medals for Delta Goodrem in GM/91, Dami Im in GM/106 and now once again Delta! The Queen of GM now has 4 gold medals to her name! Yuly has been the HoD for Australia since GM/91 and has thus now finished on top 3 times! Well done Australia, Delta and Yuly!
