Tonight twenty-six acts will take to the Rotterdam stage for the grand final of Eurovision 2021. But for now, all we can do is look into our crystal balls or examine tea leaves.
After semi-final two, we asked y’all to vote for your Eurovision 2021 favourites. We’ve counted a total of 22,547 votes and the results are in.
Poll: Malta’s Destiny is your favourite to win Eurovision 2021
She was a long-time favourite with the bookies. And while she’s slipped ever so slightly in the odds, Malta’s Destiny remains a firm favourite with our readers. The “Je Me Casse” songstress took home a total of 3,535 votes or 15.68% of all votes cast. She’s a comfortable number one, over 750 votes over her nearest competition.
Taking silver is Italy’s Måneskin. The “Zitti E Buoni” rockers scooped 2,781 votes or 12.33% of all votes cast. The Sanremo champs might not be top here, but they’re currently the favourite with the bookmakers.
Taking the third and final podium spot is France’s Barbara Pravi. The “Voilà” chanteuse amassed a tally of 1,621 votes or 7.19% of all votes cast. She’s remained a consistent favourite since winning the revamped French selection show way back in January.
If our readers are to be trusted, the rest of the top ten will consist of Lithuania’s The Roop, Switzerland’s Gjon’s Tears, Ukraine’s Go_A, Serbia’s Hurricane, Finland’s Blind Channel, Cyprus’ Elena Tsagrinou and Iceland’s Daði og Gagnamagnið.

Do you agree with the results? Is Malta your favourite? Which songs are underrated? Let us know in the comments.
And the actual results are in. Malta placed 7th.
Sadly, the reality of having a song which confuses three genres coupled with a glamerously dressed singer backed by four dancers dressed in cheep lycra was never going to work visually. The staging of this was a complete mess. Destiny deserves a better song because man she can sing. She raised the roof with her voice.
Hope she attempts eurovision again in another year.
These polls have a real disconnection from what actually happens.
Well that didnt happen did it. Nr bottom of both votes.
I like them all tonight. What an extraordinary grand final!
You are so hateful and should be ashamed of yourself
Whaat?
we will dance the shum tonight! 🙂
Malta might be Sweden’s John from 2019
There is at least 5 songs to put in front for tasteful juries.
Yes it was! But she was a damn site more graceful.
This morning when I turned on the radio, I heard “We are the champion” by Queen. The problem is, they never say who the champions are. Coincidence? I do not believe.
😀
Good luck to everyone. All my love to Barbara, Gjon and Hooverphonic. If Maneskin, Destiny or Stefania win I would be very happy too. Finally, I would be happy for everyone … As long as it’s not the only song that I don’t like, ahah! (and there …. She wins. Noooooo!)
Manizha got 10M views!
Yes cuz Russians are hating each other…
AND 100 public votes, so not a great conversion rate there Roman
Italy is my personal favourite but I think San Marino might be the dark horse that steals it at the end. I can see San Marino winning the televote so if the jury don’t slaughter them, it could be a historic win.
San Marino winning would give me so much life!
And with any luck prove to underdogs like my own country, Ireland, that it is possible if you just deliver the goods.
It would be nice to see an underdog triumph. I am still not over Lesley Roy missing out- she deserved more.
Ah I don’t know, her vocals started bad and only recovered halfway through, by that point she’d blew it. The issue with the camera breaking just after the postcard when she was due to perform didn’t help either.
But honestly, I think we buried ourselves this year. But hey, what’s another year? 😉
Hopefully next year Darren 🙂
Oh my god guys, it’s sooo fun getting 35 Malta ads every day! I will for sure vote for her! (sarcasm)
My top 5 winners would be:
Italy
Switzerland
Ukraine
Belgium
France
We had same top 5, 4 wasn’t a bad result! Public were never going to vote Belgium in large numbers.
Switzerland, Ukraine, Italy, Russia, Bulgaria are my top 5
We all are forgetting one very big thing: the Final is watched by more than 200 million people worldwide, and majority of people tune in on Saturday and pretty much 85% of them hear the songs for the very first time.
So let’s just say that anything is possible, jury votes are done, but televote is the real thing and usually gives us the end result.
Let’s see what’s gonna happen tonight, I wish them all Good Luck and do your best on the stage tonight. 🙂
Malts of course
The top 4 and most likely to win – Italy ?? France ?? Malta ?? Ukraine ?? have different styles and mostly different messages that can appeal to different audiences. Italy – it’s the cry out of many people that feel imprisioned and restrained by rules and conventions. So appealing to many many people currently in these times of lockdown and rules. France – an artist that wants to express herself through her music and leaves all on stage – her cry, her voice. Malta – an empowering message for women that don’t want to be subject and have the… Read more »
1. Ukraine
2. France
3. Italy
4. Switzerland
5. Belgium
6. Malta
7. Bulgaria
8. Finland
9. Iceland
10. Norway
I’m sorry but Italy, France and Switzerland don’t deserve to win. There are so many good songs out there. Iceland, Malta, Greece, Sweden, Finland (besides the UK. I’m from the UK) all these songs deserve to win.
Seems you were wrong.
Sorry Malta, next time maybe because tonight… it’s between Switzerland, Italy and France
Go malta go..
Agreed…this year a non-English song will win and I think it is going to be in French.
Should have bet on that. I agreed with you.
Oh wait, I was right!
1. Italy
2. Ukraine
3. Lithuania
4. Iceland
5. Switzerland
6. Belgium
7. Germany
8. San Marino
9. Portugal
10. Bulgaria
My top 10
On the bottom are Cyprus and Moldova and I don´t like Portugal.
Here is my top 10 (from Australia) also in no particular order
-France
-Malta
-Switzerland
-Ukraine
-Iceland
-Lithuania
-Finland
-Russia
-Portugal
-Bulgaria
Personally, I’m just not a big fan of Italy’s song but that’s just personal preference. It’s the same with for example, Belgium but I can recognise that they’re good songs.
Malta is Maltas favourite song. Lmao.
And what so funny about it.. Im maltese and proud ?
Suzanne and the live streams, the real winner of ESC 2021.
Forgot to mention that if Iceland will win I will be very happy as well because they have not win this contest ever. 🙂
Same for Malta, Bulgaria and San Marino
Am I the only one wishing for a Lisbon/Porto 2022? Especially Porto, we would all be going to the beach and it’s cheap af comparing to Switzerland!
I think the winner will be from Swiss, Ukraine, France or Italy.
Hope so, rooting for Switzerland to win. But I would be happy with Ukraine or Lithuania. I don’t like France nor Italy’s entry. Too ‘simple’ and safe in their style.
That poll was rigged by the Malta-bots .. no way did they win that poll
Sure!
As if
Absolutely, even the betting odds are still rigged for Malta. Remember Norway 2018 and Russia 2019 that were also front runners but after their dreadful running order they immediately fall down on the odds 9th/8th before the final and Malta would still be 3rd this year just LOL without being televote fronrunners like Russia or Norway plus. Should normally been out of the top 10 because chances are no more higher than Moldova now.
What did Malta do hate it so much? Are you a racist?
sure.
that person has a strong bash against Malta
Malta’s delegation is beyond annoying this year and there is nothing racist about it.
From paying for ads and spamming all over the place, not hiring local talent for anything, Destiny disregarding all her fans as worthless haters because they tried to give constructive criticism, Destiny saying no other entry except of her own is a 12 , to her manager complaining that the star should have been given a better running order than the others…
sadly it’s such a mess
Hating on a country is not racism. It’s xenophia. Racism is hating on a race. Malta and Maltese are not a race.
.
I would like to see a Maltese win but if I was the EBU I wouldn’t be soo keen on Malta hosting . First of all is the lack of venue. I have been downvoted on this statement before but it’s true . Fine for junior Eurovision which the hosted before but no actual appropriate Eurovision venue exists . They wouldn’t have the resources or money Azerbaijan was able to throw at their venue or the means that Denmark had in 2014 . Which can I remind everyone went way over budget at 45million . Anyone have answers to these… Read more »
Most desirable outcome for ebu would be France , Italy or Switzerland
A winning country can refuse hosting next year, you know that, right?
Malta and Switzerland have dropped in the odds because of the stage performance. Hint, their performances were made by the same person….
Sach a big shame!
Vote for Malta
they sabotaged her by draw.. generally , if any favoruite country picks the first half , they put them to 10-13. Just like they did to Switzerland and Iceland this year. (And Duncan Laurence , Salvador Sobral) but they put Destiny to number 6 and they could put her to 13 (they gave 13 to a weak country Spain) that is a clear sabotage. Also they put her before Russia (both has the similar message) Ovbiously EBU doesn’t want a small country to host.
It’s because she was just a FAKE favorite, real results will show it tonight !! She was not put at 10-13 because the real televote results must be catastrophics and are exposing the fraud.
Go and get a life
I agree
Whoever wins, enjoy the show everyone, and have a great time tonight !! 🙂
As long Ukraine pr Italy not win i am happy
I myself really liked Lithuania and Serbia. Those songs give me great vibes!
Is Lithuania Top 10 guaranteed then?
Will you vote for them tonight?
Yes I always do vote for my favourite act!
I really can’t understand on what base are the odds made, how can you rank music?? How can they know which music is likely to suceed, it’s takes out completely the surprise of the show. Good luck to Cyprus, Iceland and Malta, they are waiting too long to get the opportunity to stage this show. I refuse to vote in countries that do not get interested and devalues Eurovision.
I think they look at countries, voting blocs, social media “hype” to determine the odds.
These are hard headed business people who are running a profit making company. They look at every variable and set odds to attract people to bet money, as money is spent on say Italy to win, their price falls so that next person gets lower odds as chance of winning is now seen as higher. The only interest they have in the blog posts is to feel the sentiment to help them set odds. There is NO Eurovision skullduggerry.
Happy with any of predicted top 5 favourites except Ukraine . Wouldn’t be good for the credibility of the contest
Haha what credibility? Of a kitsch and camp global phenomenon?
There are many acts that add to the credibility of the contest over the years . It would be better longterm for it to develop into a contest for truly credible music
Moldova in the final already harmed the credibility of the contest. Ukraine winning would only change the contest for better in the future, more countries would like to bring risky acts.
As Italy proved. Loved Ukraine btw.
Is this the winner candidate? Really?…if you call other songs overrated well here you have the most overrated one haha
I agree.
San Marino!!!
I would LOVE that for the shock factor alone, and the questions that would inevitably follow. How? What? Where? Especially regarding next years hosting.
Song is a whopper bop as well!
Songs would be sung about it! Stories written! Another film even, the San Marino Saga!
Lol it sounds great.
She got me with her semi final performance!
The joy on her face and body language! She felt every part of the song and performance
Her vocals are fantastic and I think Europe would love to dance this year 🙂
I think Malta might actually win it tonight and I’m all in for it
Good luck to everyone! Many entries deserve to win this year!
I totally agree. Love from Italy
Thanks from Malta
I was very disappointed with her performance in the semi. The voice was patchy and the dancing was irritating. I would be surprised if it won.
Hahahahaha ! ! !
Lithuania is overlooked massively. Just because all Euro fans have seen the performance, it doesnt rise in the polls too much. But the rest 95 per cent will see it for the first time today. Top 5 guaranteed.
Yeah, it’s definitely overlooked by the fandom but it could do better than we expect (though I’m not expecting it win–maybe 4th-5th place at best for their best result or somewhere in the 6th-10th positions). Granted, I am worried it could be overshadowed by Ukraine following, but we’ll have to see tonight.
Almost, public loved it as did I.
I smell a surprise winner. Malta is way too generic to win when we have so many authentic and interesting songs this year.
Lithuania??? Many fans have a vote for them as an ace up their sleeves because they DID want The Roop to win last year. And as a whole act, they are adorable!!!
6 Possible winners
•Iceland
•Italy
•France
•Malta
•Ukraine
•Switzerland
I don’t know Who will win
Lithuania too
I can’t see Iceland among them.
id even throw russia in it
Do you have a crystal ball! ?
I would be interested to see the results of this poll in 2019 and previous years if anyone has a link
https://wiwibloggs.com/2019/05/18/poll-results-italys-mahmood-with-soldi-is-your-favourite-to-win-the-grand-final-of-eurovision-2019/239239/
Here’s 2019
https://wiwibloggs.com/2018/05/12/poll-results-finland-and-cyprus-are-our-readers-favourites-to-win-eurovision-2018/223188/
And here’s 2018
Yeah hope it comes true
It won’t.
It didn’t, lol
Malta is great, but not gonna win performing 6th… Anyway, i wish great party for everyone tonight. Let’s celebrate!
Malta is top 10, maybe even Top 5, but they’re not winning this.
Moldova is a deserved last place, they shouldn’t even have qualified. Though we all know because of Kirkorov and his creepy connections, they’ll probably finish higher than that, with either United Kingdom, Spain or Germany coming last.
Genuinely feel UK have given their best song in years though and it would be nice to see them finish atleast 15-20th, I think that’s deserving.
I totally agree with everything, Dareen. And I am still devasted Moldova qualified over Austria/Denmark.
Yes, Vincent Bueno delivered an emotional, honest performance. And the Danish guys song is a delightful throwback to the 80’s.
SF results will be enlightening I am sure. Can’t wait to see the SF1 results. I want to know who won that bloodbath, who came last and where Lesley ended up in the end. Also want to see who finished 11th because that will be totally heartbreaking for them, especially in SF1.
Is the GF jury list not published already??
Oh absolutely!! SF1 was like a mini-final in itself. I think everything was incredibly close.
Destiny was very obviously miming the more challenging parts of that song. The bits she didn’t mime were screechy
Ireland have nobody but themselves blame for not qualifying. The staging was overcomplicated and frantic yet very dull at the same time. She seemed to really struggle to keep up. Her vocals suffered and to be honest in the end she just looked a bit mad.
It was overdone. It’s sad because I love the song, but Lesley really didn’t deliver that night.
Grand Final results will be published in default shortly after the Grand Final. Semi final results around 3:00.
I think you will find a huge “Televote”…..
I am going to vote 20 times for Malta. Go Destiny and good luck to all other countries 🙂
If you have 20€ to lose then it’s OK.
Haha if you want I m ready to give 40 euro to you and vote for Malta.
I will ask at least twice the amount they paid to Youtube AHAHAH
Jokes on you haha votes in UK cost 15p so 20 votes is £3
My SF votes were 10 Latvia 7 Czechia 2 Albania 1 San Marino
My country down at bottom as always let’s celebrate the BBC will never change haha, I just pretend the score board is the otherway
I was just thinking atleast this is a poll where poor James isnt rock bottom with zero points. Atleast he got something from this poll, bless him.
