All 3 managers have their countries in the semifinal. The winner was for the 7th time (of 7 contests of editions) was a solo female artist. If you include the old history contests 11 out of 12 contests has has a solo female winner. Only ABBA managed to win as a group in 1975 with Mamma Mia.

USC FINAL spring was for the first time broadcasted LIVE in "Falling star radio" which was a great success with Babis gr and Giorgios as hosts for the show. We hope to see another live broadcast in future USC. Maybe a rebroadcast of USC 1968.
