Malta's Eurovision entry Coming Home sung by pop band Firelight placed 23rd and received only 32 points in yesterday's contest final in Copenhagen, a highly disappointing result. Firelight, led by singer, author and composer Richard Edward Micallef, was only given points by Azerbaijan, Albania, San Marino, The Netherlands, the UK, Ireland, Finland and Italy. The rest of the countries gave Malta zero points. The contest was won by Austria, with the song Rise like a Phoenix, by Conchita Wurst, a Drag queen with a beard. The Netherlands came second followed by Sweden.
