Denmark has won the 2013 Eurovision Song Contest.

Emmelie de Forest's 'Only Teardrops' emerged victorious at this year's competition, ending the night with 281 points.

Azerbaijan's Farid Mammadov was runner-up, with his song 'Hold Me' earning 234 points, while Ukraine gained 214 points for Zlata Ognevich's 'Gravity' to come third.

Ireland's entry Ryan Dolan only picked up five points, leaving them last, while the UK's Bonnie Tyler reached 19th place with 'Believe In Me'.

Tyler's placing is an improvement on Engelbert Humperdinck's result last year, as the crooner came second to last with his song 'Love Will Set You Free' in Baku, Azerbaijan.

However, it falls short of Blue's 11th place success for the UK at the 2011 Eurovision Song Contest in Düsseldorf, Germany.

I think the uk and Ireland should just pull the plug on it, surely there's better ways money could be spent. Leave the others to fight it out amongst themselves cause it certainly is not about the music anymore,

I liked the song that won

Denmark was brilliant.. but Bonnie Tyler was ****... I don't understand how France and some of the other countries got ahead of Ireland (it wasn't a bad song).. It is now just "12 points to our neighbours" regardless of how good or bad the song was

[Katy]

France shoud def have been bottom, she was awful.I know its hard to come on first but seriously. The song was awful and she wasnt even in tune.

The Irish song wasnt bad at all. Had a decent hook line. Even with a lot of countries not taking part or getting through to the finals its still just voting for our neighbours.Your right there.

I think the UK's policy of sending out pop star "has-beens" for one last hurrah is misguided (they clearly can't cope with the workload if they're as old as Bonnie and Engelbert, and have tired voices by the time they have to sing in the contest), and it's also rather sad. To me, it's like the musical equivalent of a trip to Dignitas.

The whole thing is over rated, waste of money, political handshaking useless exercise. Save the money and put it into Education, NHS, Policing. Instead of giving some has been one last chance to boost their already overinflated EGO! rant over....
