The Result
Countries receiving most 12 points / Norway, 5
Countries giving 12 points to the winner / Kazakhstan and South Korea
Countries receiving points from most juries / Egypt, 21
Highest placing country not scoring a top mark / Iceland in 10th with 10 points from Venezuela and Hungary as highest marks
Lowest placing country scoring a top mark / Malta in 26th getting 12 points from Iceland
Norway gave out with full force at the beginning of the voting and for a long time they looked like the sure winner. However, their points became fewer, and Egypt caught over, battling with Norway for the leading position, until Russia joined the two, making the race for victory a threesome. With the last set of votes, the North African country inched past Norway, claiming victory with a margin of just a single point! Norway had to settle for the silver and Russia took home the bronze with Slovakia and Kazakhstan rounding out the top 5.
Egypt was actually present in the very first edition of Global Music and finished strongly in 4th place. That was not enough though to keep them interested in the contest, and we had to wait until GM / 53 to see Egypt on the stage for the second time and until GM / 128 before they finally reached the final again. This was Egypt's 10th participation and up until now their only top 10 result was their debut entry, and this time they competed in the final for only the third time. Gretchen took over as HoD for Egypt just last edition, but was also responsible for their latest trip to a final. She has previously won medals for Jamaica, Ecuador and Uganda, but this is her first medal of gold. Well done Egypt, Adel, Mohamed, Youssou and Gretchen!
