The Big Five nations – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and United Kingdom – get an automatic spot in the grand final of Eurovision thanks to their financial contribution to the contest. In 2020, these countries were set to bring us a mixture of pop bangers, emotional ballads and more.

As soon as all the Eurovision 2020 entries from the Big Five were released at the start of March, we asked you to vote for your favourite.

We received a total of 7,010 votes. Now, it’s time to reveal the results…

“Violent Thing” by Ben Dolic is your favourite Big Five entry at Eurovision 2020

Going away with the gold medal in this poll is Ben Dolic for his song “Violent Thing”. The Slovenian singer who would have represented Germany at Eurovision 2020 secured a solid 41.75% of the vote, which is equivalent to 2,927 votes.

The catchy pop track has got many fans across Europe and beyond dancing thanks to it’s well-crafted contemporary sound.

“Violent Thing” also came out on top of the Wiwi Jury this year. Wiwiblogger Lucy awarded Ben Dolic a perfect 10, commenting:

“I never thought I’d give a pure-pop banger a perfect ten, but when it’s this good, why not? The “don’t tell your MAMMAH” hook hits you hard every time and Ben’s tones just help make this song ridiculously cool. There really is no element of cringe like the “I met a girl in a bar” style such songs often have. It starts the second the song opens with those six notes pulling you in, and keeps hold for three minutes. This is exquisite and possibly my favourite German song at Eurovision ever.”

The remaining results

Picking up the silver medal in this poll is Diodato from Italy. His song “Fai Rumore” earned 1,912 votes, which is 27.28% of the total vote.

Also making it onto the podium is James Newman. The UK singer-songwriter received 970 votes for his song “My Last Breath”. That’s equal to a 13.84% share of the vote.

Just missing out on a medal is Spain’s Blas Cantó. Y’all awarded his song “Universo” 864 votes, which is 12.33% of the total number of votes cast.

And rounding out the Big Five (and this quintet of men) is Tom Leeb from France. “The Best In Me” received 337 votes – 4.8% of the total. Note, this poll was created before Leeb released the revamped version of his song “Mon Alliée”.

I definitely think Italy is in a class of its own when it comes to these entries. Spain, Germany and UK were all good but it was a big gap. I guess the less said about France the better.

Germany and Italy were the only ones worth mentioning. UK and Spain were meh but France is just really horrible. I thought that Italy and Germany would have a smaller margin tho.

it is the best among the Big 5 entries, no doubt about it.
The remaining ranking makes sense to me.
