RAI showed us last year that :il: didn't just won the televote in a country (Italy in this case), but with insanely high percentages (39% in the semi for example). Even if these numbers would drop quite a bit, it's still likely to be the most.

I think political sympathy votes for Israel are the biggest in Western and North Europe, where they also have a lot to vote for (all the Nordics and Baltics are in the final). I wonder if this creates space for a very strong televote number for entries from Eastern Europe for example. Albania and Poland could profit.

Probably need to wait and see
Last year there are people showing off on X about voting for :il:via multiple credit cards in European countries and right wing politicians asked supporters to vote for :il: to piss off leftists

Anyone knows what the Spanish commentators said prior tot Israel's performance? Apparently there was a complaint by KAN and now EBU is threatening with a fine!

:es: fandom (media) is artificially hyping and pushing their entry once again. At this point it‘s quite pathetic. The :es: song sounds like something that would have already been dated at Eurovision in 2011…

Would be interesting to see the results of previous audience polls ... if there is a Spain bias.

Everyone is hating on 2011 being so low-quality songwise but I really liked that year…

And the design concept is quite timeless.

Ziferblat flopped vocally in the end of their jury performance and delivered their best vocals so far at the family show, lmao 🙃

Hazel is doing a really good job. (Well Sandra too) I love her akward interactions with the fans and the contestant. The fondue bit with :fi: is already a classic moment hahaha. In the jury show for example she’s asking :fr: fan in English to announce the next country but he doesn’t speak English and the whole situation is really funny haha….

Ah yes it was the same in the jury show. So with the new system since 2016, are the always doing the running order before jury show? I remember that before that they did organize the running order in a way to keep it as exciting as possible til the very end… so they decided the order after the jury show….
