Christer and Felix celebrating another job well done on an international jury.

I didn't need scalping like this Albanie!

I didn't watch the show (Ant & Dec bring me out in a rash) but I'm so pleased she was received so positively by the GP. My mum and sister have been very complementary of her.

Bonsoir All! We're dangerously close to the bulk of the new Eurovision season, so before the Lovewave of national finals and internal selections to come hurtling towards us over the next 3 months, let's have one last retrospective of the decade that was. The Awards! I've 12 categories for you to reflect on and decide what the crème de la crème of the past 10 years in the Eurovision world was. Please PM your votes to me before 23:59 on Saturday 28th December, I'll be presenting your winners the following evening.

Jimmie Wilson) COUNTRY OF THE DECADE Which competing country of the 2010s summed up the decade for you? It could be the one who had a ton of entries you loved, a country that improved the most, or even a country you feel was underrated in the results most of the decade. CONTEST OF THE DECADE Which of the 10 contests was the one? Take everything into consideration; hosts, stage, the voting, the slogan, the logo, everything. Did you attend this contest in person? Was it your first year watching, or indeed your first year getting up in arms over the results of the Moldovan national selection? ARTIST OF THE DECADE Which artist do you think of when it comes to the last 10 Eurovision's? Perhaps they made a statement to the world. Or you have a personal connection to said artist? Whether they were a winner or came stone dead last in the semis. SONG OF THE DECADE I know we just sort of did this, but it felt wrong to leave it out. Besides, your absolute number 1 entry might not have made it to the finals of Buzzvision: All Stars! MOMENT OF THE DECADE A hard one to describe. Basically anything you consider to be a moment. Or more specifically, the moment. It could have happened during a performance, an interval, the voting and so on. Was it Jon Ola Sand's deer in the headlights look every year? Was it Salvador having to give the trophy to Netta? Was it one of the stage invasions? Was it Sanna Nielsen charting in the UK top 40 with her entry? The possibilities are endless here, so have a good think!

@1199931174325542914 A cute concept but wow the final product is ugly as f***.

Carpool Karaoke as Nanne's song title is equally iconic and horrific. No Renaida but Mariette for the 23rd time sighhhh At least no Bishara!

Or she'll do a Janet Leon...

Not mad at Poland winning, it was up there as one of the better ones and I enjoyed it more the second time so perhaps it's a grower. Yas at The Netherlands coming 4th.

Wow The Netherlands just blew everyone out of the very mediocre water, winner please.

I haven't heard any of the songs yet, last year had some serious bangers (Kazakhstan, Armenia, France) so hopefully there's something to keep me going until FiKmas.

I hope Hungary haven't thrown their toys out of the pram like Turkey and will be back next year.

Predictable winner but I really can't argue with it. It took a while for me to decide between that and 1944 for my 18 and whilst Jamala is probably my personal favourite, Euphoria defined the entire decade. It gave the west the kick up the arse they needed to actually put some effort in (with a few exceptions), in a way Fairytale and Satellite didn't. Whilst I think the contest has gone a bit too far towards the radio friendly-jury fodder sometimes, KEiiNO's result this year is a perfect example, without Euphoria I doubt we'd have seen the likes of your Blanches and Bergers and even Poli Genova 2.0. I don't think we'll see a Euphoria of the 2020s to be honest, there hasn't been an entry so iconic since Waterloo, it's a once in a generation type of affair, so it's success and continued recognition is totally deserved.

Quedate Conmigo and Toy the bottom 2? Eww.

This Igranka and Adio erasure!!

Bengtzing *.*

@1191723412290506760 Loved their selection back in 2018, hope it can help Armenia back into the final.

After much deliberation, especially between my top 2, my votes have been delivered.

I'm going to need The Frock Destroyers at Eurovision next year, what a BOP

Is it Aly Ryan

Samo Shampioni, whilst inferior to Water, is a triumph.

Fabulous news, Bulgaria did not have a dud entry in the 2010s and were sorely missed this year.
