“serendipitously” my ass, the contest was rigged. Loreen was a previous winner, got extra setup time and props, and the jury voting was extremely skewed. EBU wanted to take advantage of the 50th anniversary of ABBA. Finland was robbed - the crowd favorite by far!
There have been lots of cheating scandals, but usually it’s broadcasters collaborating on a voting scheme or contestants using the pre-recorded backup vocals to cover their poor live performances.

Yeah I think it’s quite clear that it was all rigged.
