UPDATE: And we have a winner! It really came down to a battle between Hungary’s Poster Boy and Turkey’s Reptilians From Andromeda, but in the end the song with an elephant trumpeting on it outdid the subtle ukelele backed song of heartbreak. As it should.
Thanks to everyone who voted and to all the bands for taking part.

Group D seemed remarkably popular!
Yes, remarkable numbers. And it seems supporters of our Spanish track are continuing to vote. Sadly for them, this will all be in vain at this stage.
