Thought it would be fun to visualize how different the jury and public votes are in Eurovision's top 5 each year. Sometimes they agree, sometimes… very much not.

  1. This is really interesting. Also shows how it’s not uncommon for one country to have a strong public vote against the jury. Australia in 2017 doing the absolute opposite though wow. The public fucking hated them!

    Edit- confused the two large European nations of Australia and Austria

  3. Wow that’s very interesting! Though what happened in 2019? The top four countries got bumped up a rank compared to the public vote, where’s the country that the public actually voted in first place?

  4. Is a low number better or worse? Am i proud to be Australian or did everyone hate us in 2017?…. Never seen a second of eurovision my apologies

  7. I know the 2017 graph had errors, but yeah, Australia had a rough time with the televote that year. “It don’t come easy” indeed.

    I liked the song, though I thought he tried to overdo it at the finals.

    (Edit: may have been the semis)

  8. How embarrassing would it be if a government would try to actively influence the vote of a lalala contest that has very little to do with the countries anyway, to prove that everyone loves them (and fail).

  9. The judges were flabbergasted Israel almost won. I feel like a lot of people fed up with the liberal status quo voted for Israel just to troll them. Someone from the Netherlands I know said as much.

  10. Soooo, had Israel been buying votes for the past two years or what?
