The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Ireland, 4
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Lithuania, Colombia, Estonia and United Kingdom
Countries receiving points from most juries / Denmark, 17
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Denmark in 4th place with 10 points from Lithuania, Cyprus and Italy as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / United States in 23rd place getting 12 points from Germany
Again we were witnesses to a very exciting voting, and it was not until the very last jury that Ireland took inched past Norway and took the gold by a margin of just 1 point. The bronze medal went to Turkey, and Denmark Lithuania rounded out the top 5.
Ireland was one of the founding members of GM, but after a disappointing debut they skipped the next two editions. They came back without much success and quit again after two participations. With a new HoD, Sara, Ireland came back in GM09, though their results were still far from impressive. In fact, until now their best result has been a 13th place. But now the struggles have been forgotten, as Brian McFadden & Delta Goodrem finishes on top of the scoreboard to bring the trophy to the Emerald Island as the first duo to claim gold in GM. Well done Ireland, Brian McFadden, Delta Goodrem and Sara!
