    We have 9 judges on the Eurovision panel, so I will take their scores in the order in which I received them.


    First to get the ball rolling is Necro:




    First country to get a point on the board is Switzerland.

    Sticking with a Celtic theme, four points go to Serbia!


    Most of us in 2020 probably do wish that we could Turn Back Time and five points go to Denmark.

    I was in the stadium for that final (was in Athens, after Elena has won it the year before) and we couldn't believe it that they won. Everyone's expecting either Romania or Russia that year.

    I had 6 songs in the final, but gave only one of them points, which was The Cardigans for Sweden.

    Kosovo, Bulgaria, Greece, Slovakia, and Lithuania, were the discoveries of the comp for me so whoever nominated any of them, great choices.
