At the end of the show, Azerbaijan was announced as having finished in the top ten and subsequently qualifying for the grand final. It was later revealed that Azerbaijan placed second in the semi-final, receiving a total of 122 points. Final Shortly after the first semi-final, a winners' press conference was held for the ten qualifying countries. As part of this press conference, the qualifying artists took part in a draw to determine the running order for the final. This draw was done in the order the countries were announced during the semi-final. Azerbaijan was drawn to perform in position 19, following the entry from Austria and before the entry from Slovenia. Ell and Nikki once again took part in dress rehearsals on 13 and 14 May before the final, including the jury final where the professional juries cast their final votes before the live show. The duo performed a repeat of their semi-final performance during the final on 14 May. Azerbaijan won the contest placing first with a score of 221 points. This was Azerbaijan's first victory in the Eurovision Song Contest since its first entry in 2008. Voting Voting during the three shows consisted of 50 percent public televoting and 50 percent from a jury deliberation. The jury consisted of five music industry professionals who were citizens of the country they represent. This jury was asked to judge each contestant based on: vocal capacity; the stage performance; the song's composition and originality; and the overall impression by the act. In addition, no member of a national jury could be related in any way to any of the competing acts in such a way that they cannot vote impartially and independently. Following the release of the full split voting by the EBU after the conclusion of the competition, it was revealed that Azerbaijan had placed first with the public televote and second with the jury vote in the final. In the public vote, Azerbaijan scored 223 points, while with the jury vote, Azerbaijan scored 182 points. In the first semi-final, Azerbaijan placed second with both the public televote and the jury vote.
