Greece wins 50th Eurovision Song Contest!
The 2005 Eurovision Song Contest Final was a spectacular way to round off the contest's first half-century of shows.
It was the bookies' favourite Greece.
Helena was wearing a beautiful short dress and looked confident as she sang her racy pop song, while throwing herself into some complicated choreography. At one point she was lifted high above the head of her dancers, mid-chorus, but her vocal performance showed no sign of disruption. A really good performance.
