It quickly became a two horse race with Colombia and Finland sprinting ahead of the competition, and even though the points for these two were fewer in the second part of the voting, their lead was so big that the rest couldn't catch up. In the end, Colombia also pulled away from Finland to claim their first gold medal and only the second for South America! Finland returned to the contest with a bang, taking home the silver, with Denmark winning the bronze. Liechtenstein and Sweden rounded out the top 5.

Colombia debuted back in GM12 and got off to a great start finishing 6th with Juanes. Another top 10 result followed in GM25, but Colombia's participations saw big gaps between them, and they only competed 3 times from GM27 and until they became a semi-regular in GM94. Shakira brought home the first medal shortly after, when she won the bronze in GM102 together with Carlinhos Brown. More top 10 results followed and just 3 editions ago, with new HoD Juan at the helm in GM130, Colombia had their best result, when they came within a whisker of victory with Morat ultimately taking the silver medal. And now, Kristin Amparo goes all the way to the top bringing Global Music to Colombia for the first time. Colombia has now participated 37 times, reaching 24 finals, finishing in the top 10 9 times and winning 3 medals! Well done Colombia, Kristin and Juan!
