Alika finishes eighth for Estonia in Eurovision Song Contest
Estonia placed a respectable eighth in Saturday night's Eurovision Song Contest grand final in Liverpool, England, thanks to Alika's song "Bridges."
By jury vote alone, Alika, full name Alika Milova, finished even higher, in fifth position, and she also took maximum points from the jury in neighboring Latvia.
Loreen won the event for Sweden, with the song "Tattoo", with 583 points from combined jury and televoting tallies, 57 points ahead of Finland which placed second – replicating the top two positions as quoted as bookies' favorites in the run up to the final.
Loreen is now a two-time winner, having already taken that title back in 2012, while Sweden's win at the 67th Eurovision Song Contest finals ties the country with Ireland for most all time wins, at seven, starting with ABBA in 1974.
