So, Italy took 80 points more than second placed Russia in televotes and Sweden managed only third. The came Belgium and Estonia, Australia and Israel before jury's favorite Latvia. Il Volo suffered the same fate as in Sanremo: common people love then, the juries snob them. In Sanremo's different way of counting and mixing the various votes gave them a victory in the end despite all, in Eurovision they were left third. I have nothing against the jury, mind you. There must be a jury but maybe the one currenty in use is a bit too limited? More about that in the jury vote post.... Oh, and Austria scored a flat zero, what do you think they scored with the juries? ;-) As they put it: "We are the zeroes of our time..."
And did you realize? 366 votes, that's 9,4 average from every country! That must be a record of all time! Correct me if I am wrong....
