Minutes ago, EBU has revealed the split televoting and jury results of the Eurovision Song Contest 2011.
Azerbaijan won the televoting with 223 points, over Sweden (2nd, 221 points) and Greece (3rd, 176 points).
The jury winner was Italy with 251 points, followed by Azerbaijan (2nd, 182 points) and Denmark (3rd, 168 points).
On the low end, Russia lost the jury vote with only 25 points, last placed Switzerland got only 2 points by Televoting.
The biggest differences of points had Italy (152: Televote 99, jury 251 points), Slovenia (121: Televote 39, jury 160 points) and Austria (120: Televote 25, jury 145 points).
The impression, that juries generally push ballads and have a negative effect on pop songs should be proven wrong once and forever by the simple fact, that Ireland got more points from juries (119) than from televoting (101). Also Estonia got more than twice as much jury points (74) than televote points (32). Also, France finished only 12th with the jury (90 points).
Semifinals
In semi 1, the jury would have put Malta and San Marino into the final (instead of Georgia and Russia). The televoters would have rather seen Armenia, Norway and Turkey. If it were just up to them, Lithuania, Switzerland and Serbia had to stay out of the final.
In semi 2, the jury would have saved Belgium and Slovakia – and dropped Bosnia and Moldova, where only the televoters would have let Estonia miss the final and saved Belarus.
