Eurovision had a distinctly diverse flavour in 2004 as the exotic city of Istanbul played host. With the ever expanding list of nations desiring to participate in the ESC, a semi final was introduced. The 10 countries achieving the highest scores from a field of 22 competitors would qualify. The other 12 were culled for that year.
The Grand Final featured the 10 successful entries from the semi final, the host country (Turkey), the 'Big 4' countries (UK, France, Spain & Germany) and the 10 highest scoring countries from 2003.
Of the 24 finalists, Ukraine ended the evening with a win for Ruslana's energetic performance of "Wild Dances".
