30 points in this day - twice the amount of points from yesterday and with even better results tomorow Bulgaria could win it. Realistically IMO the battle for the win will be a four way between Norway, Belgium, Netherlands and Australia

It's not over yet, we still have the infamous world jury. They seperated the deadlock on 2 previous occasions, will it be the same in edition #06, I doubt it yet? Just to brief you, this panel is made up of music professionals who voted on tonight's performances just like any other country would. Their points have created an average, and that has created the amount of points the countries receive. Anyway, let's talk to the man with the envelope, Ban Ki-Moon. Good evening Geneva!

Bulgaria emerge the winners of the 6th Daily Song Contest. This is the first victory for them and for Eastern Europe. It is a reversal from Bulgaria's last appearance and head of delegation, ivaneurope's last 2 DSC appearances where he came dead last. Bulgaria are the only country to get 0 points. 'If Love Was A Crime' has also become the 6th highest scoring DSC entry ever with their finishing total of 130 points. It is also a new record for jihardy, who controlled Cyprus who finished in 2nd place, the 2nd best DSC debut after Finland in the Winter 2015 edition. Finland are still the best performing country after the show, thanks to their song 'Ievan Polkka'. Here she is though, Poli Genova!
Congratulations Poli! Firstly, what a rollercoaster ride of emotions, take us through it all.
I can't, honestly I can't. I remember just sitting there throughout the finalists' votes and I thought, we'll get a new best for Bulgaria, that's ok. I was aiming for 5th, we were sailing throught at 7th the whole way through. Then, the non-qualifiers'v votes were crazy. I'd like to thank everybody who picked up their phones and voted for Bulgaria. What does this mean to Bulgaria, to win the Daily Song Contest?
It means a lot. This is one of the few places where we can be on the main stage with everyone watching us. This doesn't normally happen for Bulgaria, and I'm sure we will put on an amazing show where ever we'll be. Congratulations Poli, any last words for the DSC tonight?
I love you!
Well, that's it for another season. After 3 shows, the course of a couple weeks, 30 countries have performed on stage for your votes. Only 16 could make it tonight, but of course only one could win. I'd like to thank all the heads of delegations from each cuntry for taking part, the production crew behind the DSC and you at home for watching and voting. This isn't the end, we still have our winner to perform. Please welcome back to the stage to close the Daily Song Contest Summer 2016 edition, Poli Genova from Bulgaria!
