Obvious, because Of Monsters and Men is my favourite band. Thanks for the Five points back, it seems like I need to thank for so a small amount. So less points

Guess it was a bad idea to bring Bulgaria to the DSC - maybe as organiser of the Romania or Canada entry I'll have better chances
Don't be so hopeful about Canada, they failed in their first attempt
IMO it was a collosal mistake that I've ever considered competing with non-English song. If I manage a country with English languaged song the chances for making better result will be higher.
And regarding Canada - Justin Bieber is not the only music star from the Great White North. Besides Bieber I can think of other musicians north of the American border - Bryan Adams, Drake, The Weekn'd, Celine Dion, Shania Twain, Shawn Mendes (not considering him for future Canadian DSC entry), Alannah Myles, Nelly Furtado (she's Canadian from Portuguese descent), Nickelback, K'naan etc..

Will we be going back to Reykjavik, or will we be packing fro Glasgow? We still have 4 countries' votes and the world jury still to come. Now we turn to one of our early leaders, the United States. New York, New York is our destination, good evening Tyler Oakley!
Hello Antwerp, let me hear y'all! This is the USA calling from the Big Apple! Axelle, Stromae you slayed it this evening. And so did you Anna Kendrick, bring it home girl! Anyway here's the American televoting result:

Hoi Antwerp! Hoi Axelle and Stromae! Slovenia here for our second appearance in the DSC. You've made us feel very welcome so I'd like to raise a glass to Belgium for being such great hosts. Last time we gave 12 to Germany, who will it be this time?

Yet another 12 points going to Iceland, that's their 3rd of this block of votes. All is still to play for and it is so unpredictable at the top of the leaderboard as we still have CHVRCHES from Scotland in the lead now ahead of Iceland with 124pts and Finland trailing in 3rd on 86pts. It is the end of the road however for the USA and Greece who can't possibly win anymore. Don't go anywhere because we still have 3 more sets of votes to come in, then we can announce and crown the 4th DSC winner!

Time for the last votes now. Tonight there's been 22 performances and it after 20 countries' votes we only have 3 left in the fight for the DSC crown, thus taking the contest back home to their native country. That's right Axelle, those 3 countries are Scotland...Iceland...and Finland. The question now is who will it be? Good evening Nick Grimshaw in London.
Good evening Axelle and Stromae this is the capital of England, London calling. 22 amazing songs were performed tonight by some of the finest artists from around the world, but only 1 can receive the big prize.

England has voted and our 8 points go to our fabulous hosts Belgium,

Its been cruelly undervoted this evening, the English douze points, that's a hint, go to France!
Iceland and Scotland are now twinned at the top of the scoreboard with a 6 point gap down to 3rd place Finland. New Zealand are up next and to round off a year we have Lorde in Auckland to reveal the Kiwi vote.
It's becoming a DSC custom now I think. Thanks Axelle and Stromae for what has been the best show the DSC has ever seen. It's sad to see The Swingers so far down the board but there's always next time, right? Now it's time to show you the decisive points from your friends in the Pacific:

The time has come for the all important World Jury. It has proved to be crucial in the past and it will yet again here in Antwerp. Just before let's have a quick look at the top 3, the key 3 before calling Geneva.
Just 4 points separates them, and it'll all come down to this single set of votes. Scotland cruising in front but you can just look at the results from Reykjavik to know that anything can happen...good evening Ban-Ki Moon!
Hello Belgium, goedenavond Antwerp! Well, I was hoping this wouldn't happen, not after Reykjavik, the pressure is unbelievable. But the time has come to reveal the points from the World Jury, made up of industry professionals from around the globe. Here are the opening points

Congratulations to Iceland who have just received their final points, they can still win however. It all depends on this...8 points go to the nation I declared winner in Reykjavik, Sweden!
Scotland and Finland are still yet to gain points, and we still have 2 countries left...10 points go to our new leaders...Finland!
And that leaves us with this. On this sheet of paper I have the name of our winner. Scotland still have yet gotten any points from the jury, if they don't score, Finland will be our champions, but now the time has arisen...
Spoiler
Here we go: the 12 points goes to...Norway! Meaning we have a winner in the form of FINLAND!
And that's it ladies and gentlemen! We have our winner, and they are Softengine from FINLAND! It came down to the wire, and to the very last point, but we do have a champion, and we'll be flying back up north to Finland! What a debut for them, and just look at them in the green room! They'll come onto the stage but first, we need confetti! Commiserations but congratulations to Iceland and Scotland and to all the 22 acts tonight, I think we can say that this was the best DSC ever! Am I Right Antwerp?!?! Here they are, the boys from Softengine: Toppi, Ossi, Henri and Tuomo, welcome back!
Hello Antwerp!! The crowd love you! Firstly, what was that like waiting in the green room for the final points? Well, through the whole show our score was building and building but we thought no way are we going to win, especially with Scotland ahead of us, what a song, we really thought they had the 12. When we heard it going to Norway we just jumped out of the chairs and celebrated. It still doesn't seem real though, surely this is just a dream! It is no dream Topi, you really did it! Now you're going to take it home to Finland, how does that feel? Amazing. We thought for the first entry it would be a bit wobbly but when we came it was just so incredible, everyone here. I think we, Finland, would want to do the same wherever in the country it ends up. Well said. Finally, any last words? Bedankt! Kiitos! This has been our dream since we were selected just a couple weeks ago, and now we're here, wow! You couldn't have made it any better Antwerp! Thank you to everyone who picked up their phones to vote for us this evening. This isn't just a victory for Finland, this is a victory for music!
1 night, 22 great songs, 3 contenders but at the end of the day thee could only be one winner, and that winner was Finland! Before we leave you, we'd like to say thank you to all the competing delegations, performers and to you at home for making this show what it is! But now, to sing us out, please welcome back to the stage our winning act from Finland this is Softengine with Yellow House. We'll see you next time in 2016 in Finland!
