I thought Daz bottled it a bit in the performance - "Teenage Life" on record is terrific. Shades of tATu a couple of years ago.
Loved the Latvians - a real surprise.
Also loved the German country-pop.
Wife was keen on the Lithuanians and it worked a lot better than I thought it would.
But Lordi got our 25p.

And the sweet fruits of victory:
The Finnish city of Rovaniemi says it will name a square after monster rock band Lordi, its surprise Eurovision Song Contest winners.
The mayor of Rovaniemi - the band's hometown, located on the Arctic Circle - said the municipality wanted to honour its sons for their success.
The new square bearing Lordi's name will be part of the redevelopment of Rovaniemi's city centre.
The town - the regional capital of Lapland - lies on the Arctic Circle and describes itself as the home of the real Santa Claus.
In a statement issued to Finnish media the official Rovaniemi Santa Claus said: "Lordi's victory shows us that with hard work and belief in your own abilities even the greatest dreams come true."
