The talented singer missed out on first place by a fraction.
Ukraine’s Jamala proved the overall winner of the competition raking up 534 points thanks to her son 1944, while Australia was on 511, and Russia’s Sergey Lazarev came in at third place on 491 points.
Catching up with the star following her huge success was our very own Claire Isaac, Woman’s Day’s Executive Editor. Dami revealed that despite her success she “misses home and Australia will always be home!”

“I have to thank Europe for inviting us to be part of such a fun event,” the 27-year-old gushed following her performance.
The 2013 X Factor winner delivered yet another powerful performance of her hit song, The Sound Of Silence, which saw her win the jury vote.
But ultimately, Ukraine took out the popular vote and sailed through to first place.

Moments before taking to the stage, the Australian-Korean singer took to Instagram to thank her fans.
Dami has fast become a fan favourite in Eurovision!
“The Grand Final is only hours away!!! I couldn’t have been here living my DREAMS without the many people behind the scenes working their bums off and I can’t find enough words to thank them,” she penned.
Adding: “No matter what happens tonight I’ll do it for the people around me, for the music lovers, and for Australia. Love you all and be watching!!”
Dami’s success marks a huge moment in the competition, paving the way for the future batch of Australian stars wanting to perform at Eurovision.
In 2014, Jessica Mauboy was a guest performer during the competition but not an actual contestant.
Last year Guy Sebastian, who finished in 5th place his tune Tonight Again, was guaranteed a spot in the grand final as a courtesy for Australia’s first year competing, but Dami won her spot in the final round after her show-stopping performance during the semi-finals.
Congratulations to Dami! What an amazing victory.
