UFOPOP 9
The ninth contest was the third winners' edition, and featured three countries that had made it there on their first try (Turkey, Portugal and Canada) and three returning ones. The jury was faithful to the five former Eurovision entrants and voted all of them to the super final. Canada overall winning the first round was a huge surprise, but in the final round, it was a tight competition between Turkey and Portugal, the former winning the first votes 8-7-2 but eventually losing after Canada's supporters defected to Portugal instead in the revote.
