Czechia

Which means the six countries eliminated were Australia, Czechia, Georgia, Ireland, Montenegro and Serbia.

The band were considered an outlier for the final, but leapfrogged over higher profile songs from Ireland and Czechia - precisely because they stood out.

Among the best is Kiss Kiss Goodbye, by Czechia's Adonxs, who divebombs from an angelic falsetto to an unsettling baritone as he confronts his absent father.

It has also been recorded in Belgium, Cyprus, Czechia, the Netherlands and Slovakia.

They include former Soviet nations such as Hungary, Poland, Romania, Czechia, Slovakia and Bulgaria which adopted the position in 1988; and others including Sweden and Cyprus.
