The final results at the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest

Australia was the clear favorite according to the 42 national juries and ranked first until the top two public vote-getters were finally revealed to be Ukraine and Russia. Ultimately, the Ukrainian singer Jamala won with "1944," a gripping song about murder and persecution.

The South Korea-born Australian singer Dami Im took the stage in a glittering white gown. Her performance of the song "Sound of Silence" convinced several national juries, earning her 320 points - way more than any other performer. Though everyone was worried about having the next Eurovision Song Contest held Down Under, that problem was finally solved by the public's votes.

The special effects accompanying the performance of Russia's Sergey Lazarev were so high-tech that he appeared to be defying gravity while singing "You Are the Only One." Betting odds placed him as a clear favorite: In the end, even though he finished third, he did in fact receive the most votes from the public - a fact that Russia's state television was quick to point out.

Poli Genova rocked the night with her song "If Love Was a Crime." She was representing Bulgaria at the Eurovision Song Contest for the second time. Genova's 2011 entry hadn't managed to get past the semifinals, but this year she established a new high for her country by reaching fourth place.

The 17-year-old Frans Jeppsson Wall, better known as Frans, forgot that the Eurovision Song Contest was all about glitter and kitsch. Dressed in a simple normcore style, he offered a refreshing break from the melodramatic acts with his song "If I Were Sorry." It secured Sweden the fifth spot.

The 18-year-old German candidate, Jamie-Lee, performed "Ghost" in an outfit inspired by Asian mangas. Apparently this unusual style was too daring for both the juries and the public: She received a total 11 points - putting her dead last.
