The Result

Countries receiving points from most juries / United Kingdom, 22

With the first four sets of votes the lead changed hands after each jury. Then Slovakia took the lead and held it until the 10th jury put Netherlands in the lead. From here, Netherlands slowly established a comfortable lead and never gave it away, winning the jury vote ahead of United Kingdom, Taiwan, Monaco and Denmark. The result of the televote was not all that different from the opinion of the juries. Although the public did have another winner, 3 of the countries in the top 5 aligned with the juries. The televote was really close with 3 countries on top having the same score. After the tie-breaker, Ukraine (who only finished 19th with the juries) was declared winner of the televote followed by Taiwan and Monaco. Closely behind Netherlands and Germany (12th with the juries) followed. In the end, Netherlands was crowned as champion with a 13 points margin to the runner-up Taiwan, who was in their first final ever! Host country, United Kingdom, took the bronze with Monaco and Denmark rounding 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 GM07, and the first medal - one of bronze - came in GM09. 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 GM29 and then followed by Petra Berger in GM42, Kim-Lian and Linda Bengtzing in GM49 and Mr Probz in GM106. And then finally in GM113 Lisa Lois finished on top bringing Global Music to Netherlands for the first time. A few more medals followed, before a new HoD took over the reigns in GM145. Netherlands then did really well with 25 top 10 finishes including 13 medals! They took home the trophy in GM152, when HAEVN collected most points and then again with Davina Michelle in GM159, Duncan Laurence in GM165 and Ilse DeLange and Michael Schulte in GM179. Javier took over as HoD for the Dutch just last edition and now he already brings gold to Netherlands for the 6th time, having also won for New Zealand previously. Well done Netherlands, Wulf and Javier!​
