On May 29 the men of Eurovision battled it out with their voices. Now it’s time to battle it out with their bodies. Since March, Wiwi’s readers have cast more than 12,600 votes (7,440 in the semi-finals, and 5,235 so far in the final) to determine who deserves the title of Eurovision’s Next Top Male Model 2010.

With only one week of voting left, the contest remains a battle between Turkey’s edgy rocker Ferman Akgul and Israel’s sexy manboy Harel Skaat. The Turk currently claims 38% of all votes, with the Israeli trailing with 23% (Wiwi dares not draw comparisons with the recent drama on board the Mavi Marmara in the Gaza flotilla). Despite being eliminated in the semi-finals of Eurovision (the singing contest, not the modeling contest), Poland’s Marcin Mrozinski remains in third place with 9%. 

As this vote will determine Europe’s next big thang, please review footage of all of the men in action at Eurovision below. Then review their online portfolios and get a sense of their personality and charm by watching these interviews. You can see the most up-to-date results at the bottom of this post. Polls close on Sunday, June 13 at noon. It’s up to you, Europe! Keep voting!

Harel’s official Eurovision video has finally arrived—and it was worth the wait. He’s wearing a tank top and sweating and bashing furniture in a way that only a scorned lover can. The video highlights his voice and his natural good looks, and it really captures the pain and emotion behind the song. It makes you want to find the woman who hurt him and give her a piece of your mind! What do y’all think? Are you loving Harel’s new video?
