Eurovision fans won’t be able to cast an official vote until the first semi-final kicks off on May 4, but they’re already casting unofficial ones in our poll, “Who Will Win Eurovision 2014?” Since March 21, our readers have cast a total of 34,550 votes for the acts they want to win. There are still several weeks to go, but a few favourites have emerged.
If our readers are any indicator then Armenia’s Aram Mp3 should cruise to victory with his mid-tempo electro number, “Not Alone”. Mr. Mp3 earned an impressice 12,326 votes, or around 36% of all those cast. At this rate he will need to upgrade to Aram Mp4! His massive lead in our poll reflects what the bookies have been saying for weeks: he’s the favourite to take it all.
Azerbaijan’s Dilara, who is currently one of the front-runners to win our search for Eurovision’s Next Top Model, still has Aram within her view. She’s earned 7,229 votes, or around 21%. The bookies currently have her listed as their fifth favourite, with her odds as low as 10:1. (Aram’s are currenly hovering around 5/6).
Surprisingly, Belarus’ Teo, who the bookies have listed as the third least likely to win Eurovision, is in third in our poll. He’s earned an impressive 2,119 votes, or around 6% of all those cast. The man gives a good interview, and there’s something very loveable about his lyrics.
Romania’s Eurovision veterans Paua Seling & Ovi have come fourth. And Britain’s Molly Smitten-Downes, who recently signed with Warner Music Group, is fifth.
What do you think of the results so far? Is France really the worst of the Big 5? Does Latvia deserve to finish last?

@Eugene UK I did read your review and I completely agree with you. The lyrics could be better. For ex. ” and why do dreams make people scream” hmm…?? But as another analytical and critical thinker I think began thinking this way to justify the lyrics a tiny bit. LOL I guess maybe some dreams can make people scream when… Dreams… don’t come true? Dreams… That cannot be reality? Dreams… That are only one person’s dreams and not the other’s? Dreams… That are exhausting you, because all you do is dream and no one cares to understand y?? I don’t… Read more »

oh Safura drip drop was another one I predicted not to win eurovision while that discjointed thing was bookies number 1 lol Azerbaijan government spending on her promotion lifted her to position 5 which that rihanna copy drip drop attached to molitva copy and produced disjointed for eurovision failed to win
According to my taste and my experience of viewinf eurovision for sooo many years I have chosen my list very carefully, I can predict entries which won’t win even if they are polls and bookies favourite doesn’t necessarily means it is in accordance with millions of eurovision viewers taste all over the europe, I am confident to say that Aram mp3 promotion will not be eurovision song contest winner, there is nothinf special abourt that song it would have been better if it stayed as poem without painful music which brings nothing but clown we would see on eurovision stage,… Read more »
LETS TALK
My friend, don’t bother to respond to people because no matter how hard you try you will never educate people nor you can change them, just say your opinion and if they doon’t like it or bother you let them, you can’t say stop barking to a dog when you walk in the street, the dog is made to be a dog, its nature, take care
I think Norway win, but this year very lame, many bad songs such as Malta, Russia, Lithuania, Latvia and most of the others.
@its My Opinion, It’s interesting why are you so determined to persuade people that Aram’s song is worthless and blah blah blah. Why do you think people are going to listen to you? Everybody has different taste. You don’t like it, it’s your taste. We understand. Can’t you critisize the song without critisizing other people’s opinions? Why do you feel sooooo superior? And what makes you think your opinion is somehow the only legitimate one. Do you have a music background? Are you a singer, songwriter? Because I am a paychology professor and I do have a music background and… Read more »
@This is my opinion – We get it. Every site I go, every video I watch you post the same comment. You correctly predicted in 2006 that Anna Vissi was not going to win whoopdedup good for you. We’re not in 2006, and you can never be too correct in predicting who will win or lose eurovision. Please stop writing the same s**t over and over again.
Don’t be surprised if either Israel or Ireland win this year. Their songs are absolutely amazing and perfect for the Eurovision Song Contest.
EUGENE UK,, R U COMIN FROM KINDERGARTEN ?
Sorry: Threre was a mistake.
Eugene UK
I didnt dissapointed with Armenia, Sweeden and Uk in the top 5, but Azarbaijan, and belarus. Hungary and Romaania have more options to be there I think.
Another cuestion is my personal opinion about ARAMp3, really I think this song is nothing special to win ESC, but votes from so much millions people from Armenia and his geopolitical neighbors does it. personally my top 10 is:
1.- Spain
2.- Romania
3.- U.K.
4.- Hungary
5.- Austria
6.- Sweeden
7.- Israel
8.- Norway
9.- Azerbaijan
10.- Armenia

Hi, in the days where there is sadness everywhere I recommend “Undo” which has real meaning as it apply so I certainly am not convinced of the ones that includes lyrics “you are all alone, you are not alone, don’t cry little bird WHATTT IFFF” lol lol lol so cheap, I like UK entry but it’s not a winner, yes we are the children of the universe and we live on planet earth not mars which every body knows but thanks to UK contestant for reminding us lol
best song not in ESC – lara afonso, portugal
best song in ESC – conchita
best male – conchita
best female – conchita
worst song – russia
best dressed – portugal
worst dressed – latvia
best set – georgia
Top 5
1. Sweden
2. Azerbaijan
3. Norway
4. San Marino
5. Malta
This year winner is Sanna Nielsen “Undo” with real emotion real meaning, contender, contemporary and eurovisionery for victory, yes Sweden is going to win and eurovision is going back to Sweden next year whether you like it or not the best song is gonna win
Do you guys think that Aram singing you are all alone and then you are not alone and then shouting WHATTT IFFF…….. is something special, it’s just a poem he is trying to make it big by being antidepressant lol lol
Guys wait and see guys Aram mp3 on Eurovision Song Contest stage, because there were many entries won people attention via Bookies, OGAES, youtubes etc. like Anna Vissi’s everything, Charlotte Perelli’s Hero and Amaury’s sognu etc… and when they were placed on eurovision stage in front of millions of viewers plus juries they din’t even enter top 5 some didn’t even get to top 10 lol, why because they weren’t anything special, like I said about Amaury’s sognu before eurovision that he won’t win, I m saying the same thing about this Aram’s not alone which wil NOT WIN ok… Read more »
@ Jordan – I chuckled when you said “Azerbaijan’s contribution”. Don’t get me wrong the song is great, and I love it, but it’s Swedish contribution, unless you’re referring to the amount of money Baku spends every year on their eurovision contestants, then that’s a different story lol.
@Let’s Talk
I’m not fighting. I’m speaking with facts! Unlike most people in here. If you don’t like Aram’s song there is a dislike button on youtube. All you got to do is click on it.
Yes, if my comment is the truth, then it must be borring for some people who are jealous and full of hatred towards Armenians.
Armenians and azeris must be very busy voting!!!!!!
Azerbaijan’s contribution this year is excellent I wish Azerbaijan would win the contest as they deserve it. Dilara possesses great vocal techniques and she can sing which is important. All the best!
I ffing hate Italy’s song. Hungary will win, or maybe Estonia.
Sorry to dissapont about youtube favourite. If you watch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8lfzRUT29EQ&hd=1
You will see final results taking 100 tops from different countries and their votes to each
one.
Result for top 5 as per 100 youtuber’s vote:
1. Spain -207 points
2.-Armenia – 188 points.
3.- Sweeden 182 points
4.- U.K. 157 points
5.- Italy – 126 poits
Armenia sucks (((((( And Azerbaijan paying to be in this top like always.))))) may stop write bad comments about AZERBAIJAN but it seems so much jealous
i love AZERBAIJAN and DILARA’S song and her voice too but i think this year UNITED KINGDOM or ROMANIA will be winner. and good luck to all country
It’s so funny right now :)) Belarus in Top 3? He won’t even qualify :))Also,Armenia number one? I don’t think so.And Azerbaijan paying to be in this top like always.
THE REAL TOP 5:
Italy
UK
Norway
Romania
Israel
Seriously, no. Wth is this? Last year Emmelie wasn’t my cup of tea, but at least I could understand why people liked her. But this year? Armenia It’s maybe a good song, but not THAT good to be so high on the polls and rankings and sh*t. It doesn’t bother me that it’s 1st, it bothers me the fact that is first by such a big margin. And Azerbaijan 2nd? The hell? Its probably the weakest song they have ever send (well, with the exception of 2011… when they won. Again, wth). And to add insult to injury, you have… Read more »
I really don’t get it. Why is there such a big fuzz about Armenia?! I just don’t see it as a number one hit all over Europe. Something that Emmelie and Loreen have achieved in the past two years. Then there’s Spain, can you scream any louder? And the UK, who have too much faith in their Love Shine A Light success back in the ’90s, as this sounds similar (not bad though). Hungary is OK, but a far too dramatic theme (and besides that I don’t like that dubstep thingy). Romania’s Miracle is definitely not about to happen as… Read more »
Forgot: What are the UK and Spain doing in this top-10? The Spain song stands for : who van scream the loudest and the lyrics of the UK song are outdated: Children of the universe/power to the people…..we had that in the 60’s
I am getting more and more distressed as we get closer to May. Aram Mp3’s fans are worse than Lewis Hamiliton’s fans in F1. If Armenia wins, I probably will skip 2015. Spain and Hungary deserve the win more– they have better songs. I don’t even remember how “Not Alone” goes. Maybe it’ll be 2011 all over again with a surprise winner, despite the polls.
My top 5 so far
Azarbeijan
Armenia
Norway
Hungary
Netherlands
