Eurovision 2015 full results and 5 other things we learned

What pearls of wisdom did we glean from this year's contest? The Telegraph writes.

1. Pianos that are in flames mysteriously still make sounds

Austrian band the Makemakes seemed seriously unphased when their piano suddenly burst into flames mid-song. It was an exciting trick, assuming it was intentional. Perhaps the piano had spontaneously combusted of its own accord due to the blandness of the makemakes song. Sadly it didn't make the song any more interesting, and Austria finished with an embarrassing nul points, behind even the United Kingdom.

2. Wind machines are not yet out of fashion

Many performers did well not to be blown over, such was the force of the breeze on Spain's entry, Edurne. Russia's Polina Gagarina was probably kept steady by the weight of her dress, while Georgian warrior Nina Sublatti stood steadfast wearing a dramatic shoulder garment seemingly made of crow feathers. The wind machine was probably just giving as good as it got. Sublatti's sass was a force to be reckoned with on its own.

3. Some people can sketch really quickly

The internet throws out some fantastic things sometimes, and these artists' impressions of some of the performers added a new creative dimension to the event. Serbian singer and all round cool lady Bojana Stamenov definitely deserved her own cartoon, even if she didn't win.

4. How to get round the six people on stage rule

France and Sweden both had armies of people on stage for their performance - in the form of clever technical graphics. While there are only six people allowed on stage in a Eurovision performance, French singer Lisa Angell and Swedish winner Måns Zelmerlöw both performed with a full entourage, with the help of nifty computer wizardry. This technique worked well for Zelmerlow, who once again proved that Sweden really are the mother of all Eurovision countries, gaining douze points from 12 countries, but gave the stage crew a headache when they had to prepare the set for his interactive projected cartoons again at the end of a long night when he was announced the winner and had to perform again.

5. Creepy performances don't win

Azerbaijan's act included strange primeval crawling from the backing dancers, under a blood red moon. Those human-spider dancers are going to prey on us in our sleep for years to come. Armenia went for interesting staging too: a cross between a Kate Bush tribute act and a medieval druid solstice freak-out. And yes there were six of them on that stage. Apparently they roped in every druid in Armenia who could sing. Or was this, in fact, the Council of Elron?

One thing we did not learn was what terrible thing Norwegian singer Mørland did in his early youth. Although it seemed to be a very big deal, leading him to call himself a monster in his lyrics: "Just wave and say goodbye and let you live/ Without a monster like me". Angsty. But what exactly did he do? Did he leave his underpants on the floor? Accidentally call his teacher "mum"? We have to know.
