Eurovision 2024: Fan Poll Comparison

A week leading to the final show of the 2024 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, let's look at the results of three major fan polls: OGAE, INFE, and Eurojury. Now, there are numerous polls held all over the internet throughout the season, but I consider these three the most "reliable" due to them not allowing voting for one's own home country. OGAE and INFE are long-running fanclubs, whereas the Eurojury vote consists of professional musicians from member countries and an online vote.

On the table below, I have compiled the final results according to each poll.

One factor that immediately stands out is the lack of one definite favourite to win. While last year, Sweden's victory was pretty much the obvious conclusion (which was also reflected by Loreen topping all these three polls), this year is clearly more open, with each poll having a different country on the top spot. Croatia turned out as the OGAE winner, INFE voters preferred Switzerland, and Italy emerged victorious after combining the jury and online votes of the Eurojury. That being said, none of those three countries could be considered a shock winner or unpopular favourite when looking at all three clubs' results, with all of them comfortably making it to the top five along with Belgium. The consistency continues with France, Ukraine, and Netherlands getting a top ten placing in all three polls; even Greece isn't in a bad place, as they only barely missed the top ten in the OGAE poll.

It gets more interesting when you look at where the polls' opinions differ more strongly. A striking example is Germany, who takes the all-too-familiar last place in the two fan club polls, yet earned the eight place in the combined Eurojury results; a placing largely thanks to the jury vote that placed the song fifth, even higher than the fan favourite Croatia (albeit only by two points). Serbia's lovely ballad, while not being what fans tend to gravitate towards, also earned a decent score in Eurojury and got tenth overall. In contrast, Austria and Lithuania got a significantly colder reception from Eurojury juries, raising the concerns of them ending up as flopping fan favourites.

When it comes to the "un-favourites" of the polls, all three agree on Poland and Azerbaijan being among the weakest final-worth entries, both ending on bottom five. Overall the first semifinal is clearly seen as the weaker one, with all bottom fives being dominated by semi 1 songs. When it comes to borderline qualifiers of the second semi, Armenia, Georgia, and Denmark aren't getting too much love from any camp. (On the other hand, Armenia did get a top ten result in the Eurojury jury vote - a bit surprising considering the general tendency of juries snubbing ethnic entries.) As for non-qualifiers, none of the polls would give a place in the final to Iceland, Moldova, Australia, Malta, Czechia, Albania, San Marino, or Latvia. Interestingly enough, Finland got a decent result in the INFE poll, getting 16th. Said poll seems to be fonder of "funny" entires, considering they also have Estonia following suit.

Could these polls give a hunch about the overall results? We should remember that the fan bubble can differ from the general public's taste, and the eventual live performances can have a huge impact towards either direction. That being said, Eurovision winners rarely come out of the blue, and if I had to pick a most likely winner based on multiple factors, it would be either Italy or Switzerland. However, the Eurojury jury winner France also stands a chance - you shouldn't underestimate the power of good-looking men singing romantic ballads, as we saw with Marco Mengoni last year - and despite all of the worries about Croatia flopping in the jury vote, their victory is still within possibility. And based on what we've seen, Ukraine is ready to deliver a magical performance that could very well touch the hearts of both viewers and jury members.

I might revisit this post after the contest and check how the polls compare to the actual results. Exciting times are ahead, for sure!

Fan Fiction, Finals, And The Eurovision Song Contest 2020

With the cancellation of the Eurovision Song Contest, and no official competitive element either in the EBU’s ‘Eurovision: Europe Shine A Light’  tribute show or the online ‘Eurovision Song Celebrations’ of the semi-finals, the community is missing its definitive ending to the 2020 season.

For broadcasters, the EBU’s two-hour tribute show would help fill the four-hour slot reserved for the Song…

The Eurojury be like x

[eurosong]

This time, Malta are the presumptive winners - but with a much less resounding margin than the 132 pt difference for Netta or 155 for Duncan. Destiny has only 33 pts margin over second place Gjon of Switzerland, so one wonders h hundreds of musicians and artists adjacent to ESC to contribute half the votes as jurors, and their readers to provide the televote. In 2019, it correctly predicted the top 3 - but jury winners N. Macedonia were barely finalists and Greece, who underperformed, ended up top 5. In 2018, it predicted Netta's win, but many of the rest of the rank was quite out of whack. This time, Malta are the presumptive winners - but with a much less resounding margin than the 132 pt difference for Netta or 155 for Duncan. Destiny has only 33 pts margin over second place Gjon of Switzerland, so one wonders whether it might be third time unlucky for the Eurojury's predictive abilities. What I find amazing is how concentrated in a small strip of Europe 4 of the top 5 are - France, Switzerland and Italy join Malta, with only Iceland breaking the neighbourly congregation at the top. In general, Nordic countries did well (except Denmark) as did most countries on the Mediterranean whilst much of the western Balkans and central Europe underperformed.

The top 10 was completed by Cyprus, Romania and Bulgaria, who both did moderately if not exceedingly well in both televote and jury; San Marino, tanked by the jurors but second to only Italy in the 'televote'; and Israel, not even top 20 in the televote but 4th with the juries. LIthuania and Russia bubble under, the latter astonishingly ranked amongst the lowest of the years by the juries. The juries' biggest unreciprocated-by-televote loves, other than Israel, were Sweden, Portugal and Austria. A full datab table can be found below!
