Stefan faced tough competition in this year's Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final in Turin. Sweden, the United Kingdom, Ukraine and Spain were all tipped to be favourites, and despite Stefan giving a good performance, he failed to make it into the top ten.
I found the overall quality of the songs in this year's competition were better compared to previous years. There were a few stand-out performances, namely the United Kingdom who've had a long succession of lacklustre entries. The UK's Sam Ryder gave an excellent performance and it was clear he loved what he was doing. He deserved to come in at second place.
The winner of the night was Ukraine. I particularly liked their song because 1) they sang in their native language 2) the set was visually appealing 3) the song was a mixture of folk and rap and even though I couldn't understand the lyrics, it had a catchy tune that was easy to hum along to. Congratulations Ukraine!
