Lena Satellite Eurovision 2011 Germany winner

As we know, the modern Eurovision results are determined by a mixture of public and jury vote. But what if it was only the music industry professionals that made the decision? Would the winner be different? Turns out, sometimes!

Some months back, we asked y’all to vote for your favourite jury winner of the 2010s. And, after counting 7,454 votes, the results are in! Our readers have chosen Germany’s Eurovision 2010 singer Lena.

Germany’s Lena is your favourite Eurovision jury winner of the 2010s

Lena won both the public and the jury vote in 2010 scoring 246 points, a huge 76 points ahead of Turkey’s maNga with “We Could Be The Same”. However, even though the “Satellite” singer smashed the public vote winning by 66 points, Lena scraped the top of the jury vote by a teeny two points, taking home 187 points. The jury’s silver medal went to Belgium’s Tom Dice with his ballad “Me and My Guitar”.

Here, Lena dominated the poll. She picked up an impressive 38.44% of all votes cast. That’s 2,865 votes altogether.

In second place, we have the perennial ESC 250 topper Loreen with “Euphoria”.

If there was one contest that the result would never be in doubt, it was Eurovision 2012. Sweden’s Loreen completely stormed both the public and the jury vote. Loreen took 343 televote points, 11 ahead of the Russian Grandmas — Buranovskiye Babushki. Though the real eye-opening score was from the juries. Loreen scored 296 jury points, a monstrous 123 points more than the jury’s second choice — Serbia’s Željko Joksimović and his Balkan ballad “Nije Ljubav Stvar”. A clear winner.

This time around, Loreen gathered up 928 votes or 12.45% of all votes cast.

The final place on the podium goes to Australia’s 2016 entrant Dami Im with “Sound of Silence”.

Eurovision 2016 was the first time ever that the winner topped neither the public vote nor the jury table. Australia’s Dami Im won the jury vote in a landslide with 320 points, while overall winner Jamala of Ukraine had only 211 points. But Dami could only muster fourth place with the public. Russia’s Sergey Lazarev won the televote, but could only manage fifth place with the juries — finishing behind Australia, Ukraine, France and Malta.

Dami garnered 876 votes or 11.75% of all votes cast.

Sweden 2012, Sweden 2015, Australia 2016, Austria 2018 so much overrated in points by juries.

Amar Pelos Dois is the only song here that was in my top three of that year so it’s my favourite. 2016 and 2019 were both in my top five-ish for their years so that would make up my podium. Jury-voting in the last five years has been particularly perplexing so I’m not surprised I don’t like these that much.
“Heroes” would be my last place. I don’t think it cracked my top 15 for 2015.

My ranking:

2012 Loreen

2016 Dami

2014 Conchita

2015 Mans

2017 Salvador

2019 Tamara

2018 Cesar

2010 Lena

2013 Emmelie

2011 Raphaël

It’s not only about taste it’s about her performance in its objectivity, tell me another Eurovision winner from 2010s who managed to deliver the same level of singing, while performing very complex choreography on a tiny podium, yet still maintaining eye-contact and stage presence throughout the song. What Loreen did back in 2012 is regarded as the best entry because of the sheer talent and hard work it took to pull that off. Nobody can reproduce what she did.
