It’s almost time to wrap up the inaugural edition of wiwivision – our alternative song contest. But we still have one more job left to do. If you haven’t watched the grand final results show yet, we advise you catch-up. Because spoilers lie ahead as we reveal the full breakdown of the results for semi-final one and semi-final two.
Ireland won the grand final by a gigantic landslide. However, they only came fourth in the second semi. The semi was won by Lithuania, who conversely failed to break the top ten in the final, finishing 11th. It’s a similar story with the first semi. Hungary won by a comfortable margin, yet in the final Georgia and Belgium did better.
The split results show that the juries and televoters were largely in agreement as to what countries should qualify. Their sole clash was in semi-one, where the juries ranked Greece a lowly 14th only for the public to rank them third, giving the Mediterranean country enough points to nudge Russia out of contention. Another interesting difference is in semi-two. Despite their divisive sound, the juries marked San Marino as their highest non-qualifier. But the public scuppered the microstate’s chances by ranking them second from last.
The full results for both semis are laid out below, along with the jury/televote split. If you want to analyse these in further detail and see each individual juror score click HERE.

wiwivision grand final results show
What do y’all make of the results? Let us know below.
@ Ok….Well the public poll voting does look suspicious.. Its just seems tricky that the winner’s song was voted 7th in the poll in the semifinal but suddenly managed to receive so many votes in the final instead.. I didn’t mean to cause any fuzz & my purpose was just honest.. The poll voting even with this way of promotion does not seem fair to the other songs & passes as non 100% valid to me when these plenty votes were gathered with this way.. If i was the player of Ireland’s song i would really be non pleased 4… Read more »
@Eugene My comment was meant to address both your points. Mario was suggesting it was rigged, you were suggesting that it was hijacked by Irish readers. Since I chose Selah Sue and gave my 12 points to Tamta, I obviously thought they were the best songs. Democracy sucks sometimes, get over it 🙂
@Mario, Eugene et al – the vote was not rigged. If you care to look at Markus Feehily’s social media you will see that he began to proactively promote the contest after the semis. Type wiwivision into twitter, and you will see that Markus fan accounts from all over the world were canvassing votes, not just the Irish. There’s nothing we can do to stop that, and why should we? Dami Im fans also cast a huge number of votes, as did Alfred’s. @Julian – almost 5,000 votes were cast over the course of the two semis. There are not… Read more »
Judging by the results and the similarity of choices between public and jury it is a high chance that there was not a lot more than jury to vote also as public.
Hungary was the only country that received points by ALL juries in the 1st SF.. Lithuania was the only country that was voted by ALL juries in the 2nd SF.. In the final no country was voted by ALL juries though.. ————————————————————- Ok after i checked analytically the data im totally positive that Ireland won just because of the rigged voting in the public poll…Too many fake votes that all went to Ireland…Typical like many of the rest also rigged public voting polls that were filled with tones of fake votes.. It doesn’t make sense at all that Ireland was… Read more »
These results make more sense than those of the final. Lithuania was my favourite, closely followed by Switzerland, Norway and the UK. I got personall offended whenever the lithuanian song didn’t receive any points from the juries, and seeing it outside the top 10 had me kinda angry lol.
Russia missing is a shame, especially when it was that close. 🙁
@ Indeed Eugene.. Only to find out that a country that actually on the Semifinal alone that the songs there were much less than were in the final {considering even that the 10 best songs of the other SF qualified } with such bad placings like 7th in televoting-3rd in juries & 4th overall managed though to WIN the whole WiWi Vision thing is so unrealistic & surreal.. You would had thought that completely opposite phenomenon would happen.. This phenomenon that the 7th placed {in televoting} song in the SF alone was the big Winner of the Vision is just… Read more »
Hungary should have won!!!! And Lithuania was my second. Just like Kasey and Molly won their semi final polls, Markus won the final poll. You should find a way for people not to vote for their own country. The polls in this website are very Irish biased
Really interesting results! 🙂 So the big winner of the WiWI Vision Ireland was voted 7th(!!) on the televoting ~ 3rd(!) in the juries & 4th(!) overall after the combination of both televoting-juries.. Who would had really thought that the song of Ireland would had real serious chances of winning the whole damn WiWi Vision??! NO ONE i guess 😛 😛 It was a phenomenon like *Against All Odds* 4 Ireland & congratulations 🙂 At least on the real EuroVision even the winners Dima Bilan & ELdar/Nikki finished just 3rd & 2nd on their SFs.. There was no any juries… Read more »
