Did the best song win Eurovision? Did it ever?

Should Serbia have won Eurovision?

Marija Serifovic from Serbia stole the show in Helsinki on Saturday. Her ballad Molitva was the first non-English language song to win the contest since 1998.

UK Eurovision entrants Scooch came a disappointing 23rd out of the 24 countries competing, beating only Ireland.

Last year the contest was won by Finnish monster rock group Lordi with their song Hard Rock Hallelujah. France, Luxembourg and the UK have each won five times.

Do you think the right song won on the night? Do you take Eurovision seriously? What did you think of your country's entry? Do you think voting was based more on politics than performance?

Do you fancy yourself as a candidate for next year's Eurovision? Send us a link to your Eurovision song video or audio to yourpics@bbc.co.uk.
