May 31, 201312 yr Technically, because I've added the jury and televoting averages together, this proves that Ireland should not have been last. Not really. If Ireland were consistently a little bit more popular than Spain everywhere but Spain was quite popular in a few areas and Ireland wasn't, which should do better? Eurovision scoring has always answered that with Spain.
May 31, 201312 yr Yeah, but cases like that - where a country finishes below another despite finishing above them on average in the televote or the juries - will almost certainly have happened many times before. Spain was legitimately more popular because there were places where people actually gave a damn about it, even though both Ireland and Spain consistently got barely any reaction. It doesn't really give a clear message because the difference between an average of 20th most popular and 22nd most popular isn't really much of a difference at all.
May 31, 201312 yr I wish to believe this was to be confirmed by actualling revealing the separate jury and televoting scores like they did a few years back.
June 4, 201312 yr Netherlands jury results: http://escxtra.com/2013/05/jury-results-revealed-3/ Slovenia top 10 jury results: http://escxtra.com/2013/06/rtv-slo-reveals-jury-results/ Germany jury results: http://escxtra.com/2013/06/results-of-the-german-jury/
June 4, 201312 yr Greece must've been #1 in the Dutch votes, with Belgium following them, or am I mistaken? Norway and Sweden massively underperformed during the televoting :(
June 20, 201312 yr I truly despair at how low Norway is there. No wonder we didn't give Margaret any points!
June 20, 201312 yr Author I let out a laugh when it clicked that Belgium was "Love Kills" and our jury ranked him 2nd. :D They can be let off for placing Montenegro last.
June 20, 201312 yr The biggest 'WTF!' here is surely Belarus being ranked as high as 8th! That song is amazing :D I'm glad the juries ranked her this high
July 3, 201312 yr The Uk jury votes are ridiculous! Norway So low! I heard tony Blackburn was a member of the jury / explains how the dated songs all raked so highly! I think the jury voting should just be scrapped it generally makes good songs do bad each year.
