Germany’s entrant this year, Jamie-Lee had the right idea chirping “Oooh, ooh, this is the ghost of you haunting the ghost of me, we’re playing house in these walls now, tell me who’s scared now?” The answer to that question was mostly the judges, who were scared of her costume, with Jamie Lee wearing what looked like a set of deer antlers on her head. Another classic Eurovision trick is to have something going on in the background that has nothing to do with the song whatsoever. For example, Israel’s entry this year, a beautiful ballad called “Made of Stars” featured two men in the background rolling around inside a giant hula hoop. Who cares? The point is the background participants must appear completely unaware they are part of the action, or indeed reality.

The organisers of Eurovision 2016 are facing a backlash from Russia following claims that Ukraine's winning song was overtly political and contrary to the rules of the international contest. Entitled 1944 and sung by Jamala, the song referred to the deportation of Crimean Tartars under Josef Stalin. Tensions remain high between Russia and Ukraine following the annexation of Crimea two years ago, and the song has been interpreted as a swipe at the Russian government. "Jamala, whose real name is Susana Jamaladynova, is herself a Crimean Tatar who has not been home since shortly after Russia's 2014 annexation of the peninsula," says The Guardian. "Her parents and extended family still live there." The controversy was compounded when Russian singer Sergey Lazarev, who was widely tipped to win, managed only third place, behind the Australian entrant Dami Im.
