such an interesting analysis, and given by such an attractive man !

I take it you are an analyst by education and training? I like data too so I enjoy your videos.

I always appreciate your positive demeanor. I have a flag collection too!

Portugal got sabotaged by EBU because they refused to post her performance due to her nails, she got less exposure and ended up with hardly any televote points! I'm still so angry that happened, thank god she still got into the top 10 but yeah Portugal should file a complaint against the EBU for that.

t’s not the EU flag it’s the council Of Europe’s flag which Norway and the UK and other countries are members

Very positive vibes. Great!

I have a theory regarding Moldova's televoting. It was the first time they used online voting. I remember the situation in 2021 when Cyprus got an unexpected 12 points from Russia in final. After that, it turned out that most of the voters needed to confirm the votes by clicking 1. By doing so, the audience accidentally voted for song #1 that was Cyprus. that secured Cyprus the first place in the Russian televoting. Maybe something similar happened this year in the first Semi-Final in Moldova? Just saying.

Great idea 😮

Interesting insights 😊

But France getting more jury points would've likely not only taken points from Switzerland, but also from Croatia. Though regarding Switzerland, I don't think it would've been a lot. France likely wouldn't have finished ahead of Switzerland in most of the 22 countries who gave them 12, maybe right behind them on 2nd place receiving 10 points instead. That would've only decreased the gap, but considering it was almost 150 points, not by much. And if France was last in the Australian jury, I don't think a better performance would be enough to improve 15+ places (Other results such as Georgia - which I'm still so sad about - show that vocals don't always matter for juries) In conclusion, it would still not be enough to beat Switzerland. And of course Croatia heavily benefitted from the disqualification. The Netherlands was their biggest televote competition and would've taken a lot of points from them. And this would have resulted in Switzerland winning by a bigger margin. This must be sad for Croatia though, that was their best chance in years and they might not get another one in a long time (which could also apply to Finland)

Sorry I didn't like the reaction you skipped so many times at parts which had a lot of power

I would have preferred Denmark over Norway, but definitely not Czechia over Georgia. Love the analysis...and again, you have such a pleasant smile!

Do you think the jury was completely fair? In particular for Israel, for example?

I recommend seeing the song with the original lyrics performed Infront of the kidnapped people families

huu very scary!!

Slimane of France should have won 1st place. Swiss won because of so called Peace summit there in June. Eurovision Officals accepted bribes for the winner.

San Marino does not have a televote because they cannot facilitate a separate network for San Marinese people to vote through, as they are part of the larger Italian telecommunications network. That's why their jury votes are counted every year as a televote substitute.

San Marino, Czechia and Malta should have qualified

Mmmm i agree except for Denmark, too much points. I think Latvia and Albania could grab some points for the vocal ability. So, Albania could be better but not enough to qualify sadly. I think Georgia should grab more points for the show itself.

So interesting, thanks a lot! And always with your big smile😄

Beautiful. Thank you. Very interesting,. sorry for Malta

I have discovered something a bit weird with Esc results, specifically with nordic countries , for some odd reason nordic countries allways have something bad happen to them if the contest is hosted in a fellow nordic country Some examples of this are Swedens only nq happening in norway 2010 In sweden 2016 not a single nordic country qualified In denmark 2001 norway and iceland were tied for last place Finlands best result in a nordic country since the 2000s is 18th in 2000 Sweden 2024 where norway came last , finland a televote magnet flopped , denmark failed to qualify with a half descent song and then iceland came dead last with only 3 points Hoping for a nordic country to win again so we can see what the curse does next

at 12:35 you say that Portugal was blanked by Croatia, while Croatia actuall gave 12 points to Portugal. However, great effort!

The jury should be included too

Love a good analysis. You also have one of the most pleasant smiles!

37 Juries gave Israels best ever entry on 30 points. What lesson can Israel take from this ??? 🤔 (But sadly they will think the Public vote is the majority of people as opposed to certain people voting MANY times for Israel.) .

I get more and more pissed at Eurovision every year when it becomes more and more obvious that people cannot separate their emotional feelings for an artist, country or culture from the actual song. And it's getting worse. At the end of the day it is a song contest. Read the tin label. Yes, I understand culture will always play the bigger factor of the three, that's obvious, but I think this guy hits the nail on the head. Australia misses out of the 'neighbour' factor (by extension some cultural elements - ignoring the diaspora factor in Australia to some extent as Europeans are a lesser percentage/weighting these days), yet other countries like Poland, Lithuania and Ukraine have such a massive diaspora across Europe that they can, and do, actually affect televoting results). The thing that ruins this contest for me now more and more is this inability to say 'yes I am Xxxxxish, yes I want Xxxxxxxx to win, but Yyyyyy's song is better so I'll vote for that' (you can replace Xxxxx and Yyyyyy with any country you like). That isn't human nature, generally, especially when you factor in an artist may be your favourite, you saw them three times on tour promoting their song and you heard it the most, or all your friends are voting for it for their own non-empirical reasons. All of this can work in the opposite too, of course. Even if you think a song is better than your own you won't vote because 300 years ago they did whatever they did. Look, I am not naïve, I know there are deeply held reasons why people do and don't do what should be an empirical action, but this is why we will forever need juries to smooth over the sharp edges of peoples' irrational actions. Maybe I am just being an idealist and what I am arguing for people to do is irrational in itself, but I feel I can never trust this contest again when factors as those this guy lists are in play. How can (or should) you use previous jury trends as part of an analysis? Every song *should* stand on its own merit, devoid of any historical context, populist context and frankly commercial context. The only way to achieve this is to have anonymous songs by artists not from that country all sung in one language so you've no idea where it's from until afterwards and clearly none of that can never happen. The solace I take is that in general the 'best' song *generally* wins (2022 excepted in recent years) through this smoothing process, but analyses like this should be moot because the populace *should* be able to separate an empirical judgement on a song from all the other crap clouding our brains. But I know we can't. This is a song contest, not a performer, culture, bezzie mates nor radio play contest. I'd love people to at least think of some of that before we pick up our 'phones. Some people really would vote for a farting goat on stage if the rules allowed it for any of the reasons above. Some probably have.

Oooh stats, love this!

0:53 I mean, Kiril, that was BRUTAL Lmaoo

Then Poland could’ve qualified like I wanted! But… Finland would be eliminated which wouldn’t be good for me… I’ve been starting to root for Finland ever since Kaarija’s outstanding performance.

Australia came 2nd last in Eurojury ahead of only Finland…I’m curious as to why some people think juries would have suddenly supported it.

She clearly won Eurovision , hands down!

Really interesting video, was thinking about this the other day. One thing I disagree on is Poland getting so much points from the juries, as Luna's vocals were not particularly good, so Finland or Slovenia would have still qualified

I really don't understand why we still have jury voting in final, maybe SomeoneWantsToControlTheFinalResult, and they don't vote in semi final because "favorites" will qualify 100%.... 🤫🤔🧐🧐🧐

I did the maths and if you take the jury results for switzerland from the semi final 2 countries and take away all the countries that didn't compete in semi 2 than Switzerland hypothetically got 214 out of 218 points, but that's assuming they voted the same in the final as in the semi but I don't think it would be far off

Wow! Great idea💡

Croatia the Best ❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊

Its obvious that with jury votes, iolanda would be even Higher! 🇵🇹💪🏼🔝

The Code, from Nemo, was a fair winner song. Iconic, well performed, nice message, nice music. Well done Nemo, you're very sweet and shinning 💖💫. But Sweeden didn't give Nemo the deserved stage in the final performance, after being announced the winner. They just give them the trophy, an extra micro and let Nemo there. The brocken trophy was iconic too, after all this mess eurovision year 😉💖

Thanks for your interesting comments and insight, I am very much looking forward to seeing more of your videos. I fully agree that the Croatian jury did not act in a very professional way. As a swiss person, On the night, I was really scared that Croatia would finally win by less than 8 points (the amount swiss jury gave croatia), fortunately that did not happen. In any case thumbs up for Baby Lasagna, who showed a lot more class than the croatian jury, as he graciously clapped when the final result was announced, even though he must have been the most disappointed person in the whole arena.
