Where are the Televote rankings?

Results of the Grand Final of Liverpool 2023 - Eurovision Song Contest

Official website of the Eurovision Song Contest. The latest news, photos, videos, participant info, voting results, the Contest's rich history and much more.

Bottom of each page on the right. I can't see an easy way to get all of the televote ranks received on one page, but I might just be being dim.

 

[Saltwater]

On the stats: has anyone gone through to see how Spain did in the televote rankings for most countries? Was it basically LAST across the board?

(also interested to know how the UK did in the ranks typically)

How the Rest of the World votes stacked up:

12 Israel
10 Finland
08 Armenia
07 Sweden
06 Albania
05 Ukraine
04 Norway
03 Croatia
02 Spain
01 France

Not the final I know but WTF is up with Latvia getting 8 points from the ROTW vote in Semi 1?

The Eurovision subreddit had a campaign to vote for it on the ROTW vote, which probably illustrates how few votes were received for that in the semis.

Didn't quite know where to put this, but I've just been to my barber and he asked me how Eurovision went, having told him I was going. There ensued a conversation with 5 straight men who all watched it and enjoyed it, one of whom seemed to know everything about the betting odds (little else though) and another who said he got into Eurovision last year because of Sam Ryder, used the words "Michael Rice" in a sentence and asked me to "check out Loreen's other stuff, she's got this great song called" (and I was ready to at "Euphoria" but he responded...) "My Heart Is Refusing Me", which she did before she won Eurovision". Everyone was banging on about how jealous they were of my tickets and how they think Sweden next year will be incredible and how they all want to go to Eurovision at some point.

YES there was some "Germany should have won" and even an "it's all political anyway", but the fact that they had engaged and knew about this shit was FUCKING SURREAL

 

[Soldi]

"Germany should have won"

 

[Pingu]

That’s not saying “don’t vote Sweden”, though.

Fine line, agreed, but not sure that is worth penalising.

In fairness, it was during the Swedish postcard.

We’ve been covertly trying to steal it back for a while now. In ten years, the audiences will go back to being old people in seats clapping politely.

I thought it was going to Sweden NEXT YEAR?

 

[Christian]

I want the crowd next year to be seated Swedes occasionally flapping a balloon around in a desultory manner ONLY

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

After all the hate and rudeness we have recieved since we won I hope the Eurovision fans will be seated on nails next year in a cold arena far up north.

I don’t know if sitting on something long and penetrative is all that much of a punishment for Eurovision fans.

 

[Kratz]

Anything that pulls the contest even slightly away from the increasingly toxic fandom (y’all!) can only be a good thing

Yeah, but you're BASICALLY GAY by this point anyway, SO...

I think it's only going one way right now, and that isn't the path of more moderated.

 

[Samanta TinAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Goodness watching this on TV for the first time tonight, is MOROCCANOIL the biggest villain of the year??
The saturation on certain hairstyles is certainly a choice, and not one I'm sure will age very well

Biggest OIL SPILL victims so far:
Brunette Austria
ALL of Switzerland's dancers
Blonde dancer Poland

not from me , I love Sweden even more than ever and have been fantasising about a drink ( or two ) at Torget ever since

omg had no idea.. haven’t been back since before Covid.. where would we go now ?

THE FOREST OF COURSE

Loreen knows the way

 

[Lucille]

I’ve actually been pleasantly free of the post-Eurovision depression. It finally being over felt like closing the laptop after wanking off to a particularly grisly porno and pretending it never happened before the shame takes hold.

Of all the places you could go…

 

[LTZ]

Of all the places you could go…

went to Patricia too .. and the beach opposite the royal castle which was amazing..

 

[LTZ]

and to a fetish bar that I don’t remember the name of

 

[LTZ]

i have just an amazing souvenir of Stockholm though .. one of my favourite places in the whole world

 

[RaspberrySwirl]

Now we’re talking (still crappy, but it’s the only one of its kind)

 

[Penelope]

It kind of is becoming a lot more moderated? Or at least, there's a lot more effort being set in terms of having clear boundaries that the rabid fandom isn't quite so able to run amok in as it used to, like the fan press.

(god, could you IMAGINE how Christer would have responded to a crowd going as feral as Liverpool's? I wouldn't have put it past him to come onstage and threaten to PULL THE LIGHTS by the third CHA CHA CHA

 

[Sheena]

I was just playing Queen of Kings in the shower and realised this is the first year for a long time that I haven’t woken up on the Sunday and gone “NO MORE EUROVISION SONGS TIL OCTOBER”.

 

[Saltwater]

I love how most of Cyprus's entries are basically the same 5 families over and over.

As ever, I like the spotlight the 2016-18 version would have given to the songs that flopped on the jury but made the televote top ten.

However I do accept that the end would have been kind of a downer. Plus it would’ve been obvious before Käärja’s numbers came in that Loreen had an insurmountable lead.

 

[Sheena]

OT: I’m in London and so I’m around lots of people I don’t know and it’s weird cause not everyone is gay and I’m not in hot pants and carrying a purse.

Completely agree, it's a way better approach for most of it, but with a rubbish end.

Maybe they can implement some hybrid? Reveal the results like this until you get to the top (say) 5, and then flip to the other order?

[D5K]

I assume that's how the non-loons feel about Moopy over the last few weeks.

 

[Soldi]

Imagine NOT being obsessed with Eurovision!

 

[VoR]

In so many of these, a few thousand votes in the other direction could have really ruined this year. We truly are hostages to fortune...

 

[VoR]

Like, imagine this year without GUSTAPH, MIMICAT or that UNLISTENABLE ALBANIAN BANGER?

We really were uncommonly lucky with national selections this year. The only ones I'd say obviously went horribly wrong were Estonia (and it worked out for them!) and Romania.
