That's it for 2010 - one of my favourite ever years of Eurovision.

It was fun, but what was bubbling up under the surface?

Never mind the girl-bops, here's the piano ballads!

In 2010, juries were back big time. Even the semi-finals now required their input, but would that result in a torch song overdose?

That's the end of the bonus content for 2010, time for the coda. That means the interesting entries for the year.

And this year it includes the worst national final song of all time.

Alyosha wasn't originally invited. Sweet People wasn't heard at either of Ukraine's national finals in 2010.
