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.

Safura's national final win in 2010 came with government approval.

It also brought Azerbaijan and a group of Swedish song-writers together in a lasting relationship.

Anna Bergendahl has a weight to bear. Her burden is being Sweden's only Eurovision non-qualifier to date.

It doesn't appear to have held her back.

MaNga weren't that close to winning Eurovision, even if YouTube commenters wish they had.

However, they're number one here if not in real life.

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

Yet it was the song representing Ukraine at Eurovision - and it's political.

Have you ever sat down and thought through what Ovo je Balkan is actually about?

Neither I suspect has Milan Stanković.

Eurovision qualifying injustices don't come quite as big as what happened to Kristina Pelakova and Horehronie in 2010.

It may have soured an entire country on Eurovision entirely.

Juliana Pasha's song had been in Albanian, but had been translated to English for Eurovision.

And for some reason, in 2010, that didn't suck.
