It was a thrilling evening at Stockholm’s Globe Arena where Ukraine's Jamala won the top spot at Eurovision 2016 with a total of 534 points for her politically-charged song '1944'.

Australia and our own Dami Im came in SECOND with 511 points.

Dami Im has given an emotional thank you to her fans following a powerhouse performance of her song 'Sound of Silence' at the Eurovision Grand Final in Stockholm today.
At the start of the contest, it appeared that Ukraine's entry would be the most controversial as the lyrics of the song '1944' actually focus on Joseph Stalin’s mass deportation of 244,000 Crimean Tatars in 1944 – a tragic event that has been equated to genocide by the Ukrainian parliament.
