Who will win 2010 Eurovision Song Contest

Turkey exploded out of the gate, claiming 67% of the vote on day 1 and peaking near 78% by day 9 — a lead so dominant no rival ever got within shouting distance. No lead change was needed because none came close to happening.

But dominance eroded fast. By day 180 Turkey's share had been cut in half to 50%, and the slide continued in the final stretch, bottoming near 27% around day 280 before a late rally settled it at 30%. Serbia, Lithuania and Greece each took turns as closest challenger without ever threatening the win.
