Hi there, folks! Here’s the first of my maps about the results of tonight’s show. More will be forthcoming when the full breakdown is available to me (and when I’m less knackered.) It seems that jurors may well have taken away a win for Italy. Looking at the split results, juries often heavily down-rated Italy whilst the televoters from Reykjavik to Moscow chose it as their favourite song.
Here’s a map showing the most popular song amongst the public, as determined by the televote only. Sweden would only have won three 12 points in the old 100% televoting system, the same amount as Albania. Neither Sweden nor Italy was whom I hoped would win, but I can’t help but feel bad for Il Volo. According to a friend of mine and fellow statistician, Italy won the televoting with 366 points, following by Russia with 286 points, and Sweden with 279 points. If the public vote had remained 100% determinatory of who wins ESC, we could have instead been heading to Italy for the first time since 1991.
