Eurovision Song Contest 2011 Düsseldorf "Feel Your Heart Beat!"

get
I just drank :p

The UK got votes from most countries, but they were generally low scores (Bulgaria and Italy aside). Interestingly, Azerbaijan did really poorly in the Western countries, but really well in the East.

Sweden seemed to win in the West, Azerbaijan in the East, and Italy did fairly well in both. But since there are a lot more Eastern countries, Azerbaijan won.

I was very surprised that Azerbaijan didn't get many western votes as it's a very western sounding song. Serbia got a lot of western votes when they won and that was an ethnic song. Anyway, I'm happy Azerbaijan won as they had a very good, memorable song.
 

However, I am happy Italy came second since I liked the song, but the crowning song was Moldova! XD​

Don't say that if you come to the Netherlands, almost everyone here thinks that the Netherlands should be in the final instead of Moldova...
I didn't like Zdob si Zdub in 2005 and I don't like them this year...
 
The split votes from the UK, and the overall split jury/televote have been revealed. There were some huge discrepancies between the public and the juries. Azerbaijan was one of the few countries to do well in both.

UK Voting (Jury/Televote/Combined)

12: Switzerland | Ireland | Ireland (20)
10: Italy | Moldova | Switzerland (12)
8: Ireland | Iceland | Moldova (10)
7: Austria | Lithuania | Italy (10)
6: Denmark | Spain | Lithuania (9)
5: Serbia | Sweden | Denmark (9)
4: Georgia | Greece | Iceland (8)
3: Sweden | Denmark | Sweden (8)
2: Lithuania | Hungary | Austria (7)
1: Azerbaijan | Germany | Spain (6)

Apart from Ireland, the UK public and jury generally disagreed. Switzerland, Moldova, and Italy all did well in the combined vote, despite only doing well in one of the two votes. I'm surprised Georgia didn't do better in the public vote really.

Overall Split Votes (Jury/Televote/Combined)

1st: Italy (251) | Azerbaijan (223) | Azerbaijan (221)
2nd: Azerbaijan (182) | Sweden (221) | Italy (189)
3rd: Denmark (168) | Greece (176) | Sweden (185)
4th: Slovenia (166) | Ukraine (168) | Ukraine (159)
5th: Austria (145) | United Kingdom (166) | Denmark (134)
6th: Ireland (119) | Bosnia+Herzegovina (151) | Bosnia+Herzegovina (125)
7th: Ukraine (117) | Russia (138) | Greece (120)
8th: Serbia (111) | Georgia (138) | Ireland (119)
9th: Sweden (106) | Germany (113) | Georgia (110)
10th: Germany (104) | Ireland (101) | Germany (107)
11th: Bosnia+Herzegovina (90) | Italy (99) | United Kingdom (100)
12th: France (90) | Moldova (98) | Moldova (97)
13th: Romania (86)| Serbia (89) | Slovenia (96)
14th: Greece (84)| Romania (79) | Serbia (85)
15th: Moldova (82)| France (76) | France (82)
16th: Georgia (79) | Spain (73) | Russia (77)
17th: Finland (75)| Hungary (64) | Romania (77)
18th: Estonia (74)| Denmark (61) | Austria (64)
19th: Iceland (72)| Iceland (60) | Lithuania (63)
20th: Lithuania (66)| Lithuania (55) | Iceland (61)
21st: Hungary (60) | Finland (47) | Finland (57)
22nd: United Kingdom (57) | Slovenia (39) | Hungary (53)
23rd: Switzerland (53) | Estonia (32) | Spain (50)
24th: Spain (38) | Austria (25) | Estonia (44)
25th: Russia (25) | Switzerland (2) | Switzerland (19)

Again, some major differences of opinion. Russia and the United Kingdom were in the top 10 of the public vote, yet ranked in the bottom 5 of the jury vote. The opposite can be said of Austria and Slovenia. Italy was the clear favourite of the jury, but 11th in the public vote pushed it down to second. Surprisingly, Ireland did better with the juries than with the public!

The results show Azerbaijan was a clear and deserving winner. The results show would have been have been incredible had Sweden done better with the jury, given how close the public vote score was.

A few other countries (Finland, Germany, Estonia) have revealed their jury votes, but not the individual scores of the public vote.

Thanks for the information, the only things I can find is wich points were given to wich country... (Only checked for the Dutch votes)
But if you want to know:

Dutch voting:
Austria 1 point
Slovenia 2 points
Serbia 3 points
Romania 4 points
Ireland 5 points
Azerbaijan 6 points
Germany 7 points
Bosnia & Herzegovina 8 points
Sweden 10 points
Denmark 12 points (Le Danemark, douze points!:D)
 
Here are the second semi results. Sorry it's not better news about the Netherlands Tailor. I'm typing it all out myself, so it takes a while. I might edit this post with the first semi later.

Semi Final 2 Voting
(Jury/Televote/Combined)

1st: Slovenia (146) | Sweden (159) | Sweden (155)
2nd: Denmark (129) | Bosnia+Herzegovina (131) | Denmark (135)
3rd: Sweden (99) | Romania (121) | Slovenia (112)
4th: Austria (95) | Denmark (115) | Romania (111)
5th: Romania (85) | Ukraine (96) | Bosnia+Herzegovina (109)
6th: Estonia (83) | Ireland (78) | Ukraine (81)
7th: Ukraine (76) | Slovenia (68) | Austria (69)
8th: Belgium (71) | Moldova (61) | Ireland (68)
9th: Slovakia (71) | Belarus (54) | Estonia (60)
10th: Ireland (66) | Austria (52) | Moldova (54)

-------------------------- Qualification Boundary ------------------------

11th: Bosnia+Herzegovina (65) | Israel (51) | Belgium (53)
12th: Bulgaria (59) | Belgium (50) | Bulgaria (48)
13th: Moldova (53) | Estonia (46) | Slovakia (48)
14th: Macedonia (47) | Bulgaria (43) | Belarus (45)
15th: Belarus (38) | Latvia (43) | Israel (38)
16th: Israel (36) | Slovakia (40) | Macedonia (36)
17th: Cyprus (24) | Macedonia (33) | Latvia (25)
18th: Netherlands (22) | Cyprus (23) | Cyprus (16)
19th: Latvia (11) | Netherlands (17) | Netherlands (13)


Belarus was the only country that would have made it to the final had it been televoting alone, whilst Belgium and Slovakia would have made it based on jury votes alone. Generally there was a lot of agreement between the jury and public as to who should qualify - the main exceptions to this being Bosnia+Herzegovina (2nd in televote, 11th in jury) and Estonia (6th in jury, 13th in televote).

Interestingly, Denmark still did well in this public vote, despite doing poorly in the final televote. The running order may have been very significant, given that they went 18th in the semi, but 3rd in the final.
 
Sorry it's not better news about the Netherlands Tailor.

The TROS should have known better than to send the 3JS, they do make nice music and the lead singer sings very well, but they just can't perform on stage and that is necessary if you want to go the final.

I think the main problem was that everything about the performance was just 'OK'. It wasn't the worst song, or the worst performance, but it just wasn't distinctive enough for people to actually vote for it. Worse performances can do better because they're more gimmicky and interesting enough for people to vote. Generally, gimmicky performances with stand-out features don't have enough to win, but end up mid-table (see Ireland, Moldova, Ukraine).
