Kuszyńska came in 23rd out of 27 acts, garnering just ten points for her performance of the song 'In the name of love.'
One critic writing for the UK's The Guardian newspaper decribed Kuszyńska as “a lovely girl” adding that she was “all white billows and kingfisher beauty.”
However, the pundit concluded that “never has a duller song been written.”
Meanwhile, Swedish contestant Mans Zelmerlow won the day with his track 'Heroes', managing a hefty 365 points. Russia came second and Italy third. (nh)
