Eurovision fans in Brazil, Canada, the Philippines, Tanzania and beyond: The Rest of the World vote for Semi-Final 1 of Eurovision 2024 is now open.
Fans in non-participating countries have nearly 24 hours to cast a vote for their favourites. You can do so at the link https://www.esc.vote/.
You’ll have to watch clips of every single performance before you can vote.
Eurovision 2024: Rest of World voting now open for Semi-Final 1
On Monday evening, the 15 artists competing in Semi-Final 1 performed in what was formerly known as the “jury show.” But now that the semis are jury-less, that show serves as a “back-up” for producers — it’s taped and can be aired in case something goes wrong with the transmission on Tuesday evening.
Shortly after the conclusion of the show, snippets were taken and uploaded to the voting site. These are what you’ll be judging. Voting closes at 21:00 CEST on Tuesday when Semi-Final 1 begins. It will reopen after the final act — Tali from Luxembourg — performs.
Here’s how the EBU described this expanded time window earlier this year:
“Fan in non-participating countries (Rest of The World) will now have nearly 24 hours to vote for their favourite songs before each of the live shows begins.”
“Online voting will open for the Rest of The World immediately after the second dress rehearsal for each Semi-Final and Grand Final finishes the previous night and stays open until the live shows begin.”
The Rest of the World vote is added together and has the same weight as a single country. That means it will contribute to 1/16th of the overall vote.
Poll: Who did you vote for in the Rest of the World voting?
So, who did you vote for? Let us know down below…
Switzerland is still in to win it
Not against Croatia, I’m not a fan of the song but I don’t mind it winning either, I just don’t understand the lead that Baby Lasagna now has in the odds :p I mean I understand the first place but if he’s that far from the others now it means that a lot of people are now betting on him. His rehearsals have been good without being impressive so I’m trying to find if I missed something on the past 2 days. At this point, I really don’t know who will win this Eurovision. There are like 3 countries that… Read more »
The odds show who is being placed more betts. Apparantly there are a lot of people that are betting on him. And most of these people are not into the very details of Eurovision scoring system, and dont overthink the jury, the politics and so on
Every since Croatia got to the final of the world cup 2018 and they invited Thompson to sing at the celebratory party, and Ustaše references started popping up everywhere, I’ve felt very wary of Croatia. I feel like the country is going through a phase and I only hope that they come out the other side better off.
Honey, give me any country and I will give u an example why you should be wary
Apparently Bambi had the word ”cease fire” written in celtic on their forehead during the dressrehearsal. Will this count as a political mesage? What do u guys think?
Ban her
yeah let’s ban someone who calls for peace rather than the b1tch acting all frail and vulnerable while actively supporting the erasure of a whole @ss nation
Or we can drag her out of the stage by her horn. Better right?
even better, we can drag Golan out by those pathetic bandages meant to pretend she is the victim.
As long as there are dragging involves, doesn’t matter who.
Drag me to hell!
croatia is the one to beat, well done
Good luck to every one tonight, from Ireland I will vote for Portugal
Me too for Portugal from Germany
What do you think about Italy’s entry?
Love it, Italy always delivers in ESC. It could win if televote/juries go for different songs as I think it will be high with both but I see it almost certainly top 5.
I don’t understand why ‘the rest of the world’ can vote in all three shows, but half of the countries that actually pay to participate, are excluded from voting in one. Makes zero sense.
I understand that letting ‘the rest of the world’ vote has been implemented to engage more viewers and thereby gain more money for the EBU, and I don’t mind that part, but then let it actually be open to the rest of the world – that includes all participating countries regardless of which semi-final.
It’s one jury and unlikely to change the results
The question was not about the ROTW, but why the countries in Semi 1 can not vote for Semi 2 and the other way around.
Good question.
I don’t know what rotw means, but clearly the whole thing is a money grab and the priority is not providing a fair voting system.
One jury? I don’t follow?
But the vote from people in 19 additional countries (who are likely more invested, being participants themselves) would with high probability affect the result.
I really don’t get the Croatian entry. There are several quality entries this year and Baby Lasagna isn’t one of them. Best of luck to the guy, but if he wins I’ll be scratching my head. No hate towards him at all.
It’s a good and catchy song. Many people can relate to it. I still feel it is not going to win. It will win the televote like Finland last year but will that be enough to win the whole thing? We will see. I would not mind Croatia winning, it’s been a long time since a country won it for the first time. I would prefer Switzerland to win though; it’s my fav song.
Switzerland is also my favourite this year. Perhaps expectations were too high from such a good video, but fingers crossed everyone falls in love with the pink flamingo!
Switzerland just feels like a different class this year – I would love for the code to win, but Eurovision is never that simple.
Switzerland were great until the pink outfit. Now it’s just confusing for viewers: is he telling a story or a troll? I think many people will appreciate his voice and being a real artist like Neta Barzilai or Måneskin.
Video of Jerry from Ukraine wearing a BANDERACIAGA sweater leaked on X.
I-
I knew it!
Wait, it didn’t leak it was posted by her on TikTok. WOW.
After reading your comment, i researched about Banderaciaga and found a polish article about Bandera being responsible for mass killings in Volhynia and Galicia, but I don’t really found that much. Do you have any sources where I can read about the incident, preferably in english?
Also, is it just Bandera or is it Balenciaga too?
Hey! I think typing BANDERA NAZI COLLABORATOR in Google will provide you with a lot.
It’s obviously a play on words/brand.
All in all… DISGUSTING!
Hello (:
I have 4 tickets for tonight show that i couldnt resell… I am in Malmö right now. Anyone interested (: ?
Nico
Why are people down voting this?
Good question
People love the downvote button
I dont know haha, i just find it unfortunate that 4 seats are going to remain unused so i am trying here ^^…
Downvote
I am waiting for the redemption of Poul Riisen who was so sure of Ireland not qualifying. may the invisible creatures light your internal candles
#staypetty
#nomorehashtags
#staypretty I prefer
Politeness and reason and good humour are always nice. Enjoy the shows!!
Let that witch burn me in the fire but nooo, it’s a NQ for me! ;p
Seriously, if Ireland qualifies and does well, I rest my case, there must be something I can’t see and trust me, I tried with all my powers. I guess my angel blue eyes don’t let me feel affinity for darkness. ;p
Come to the dark side!!
Me and Paul have a 50/50 agreement on here. But I do Bambi sounds flat and the song itself sounds empty on live stages. This relies more than any other on visuals to get it through.
This is the case. I saw the dress rehearsal. It’s something to watch not to listen to. It’s veeery flat at time. No clue what we will see tonight on our screens. Let’s see.
Not getting fan favourites is probably something every eurovision fan has experienced before. It’s not that rare.
Ireland’s eventual Q will not make those 3 mins any better anyways. I don’t find the performance as something original or unseen too. Hopefully it will stay where it belongs. Otherwise I’m afraid it will take Slovenia’s, Poland’s or Azerbaijan’s deserved place in terms of music.
Anyways, guys. Have a fun time tonight.
yes fun, musical trance! let’s hope for some suffocating suspense
i saw a video of the women from ukraine i think it was the rapper she fell during a rehersal but credit to her she carried on and she was so proffesional about it
And broke a nail. Recovered like a queen.
Toenail?
i didnt know she broke a nail all i saw was her fall
Ye, jerry posted a story on instagram. she tripped on that chainmail
If Ireland is a big hit tonight – I think Croatia will suffer the most in the Grand Final!
They are not in the same league. Ireland will finish around 7th place. It is a nice performance. Pure art. But the song is not a contender with the juries. It will take televote points from Italy and Switzerland because those are also artsy performances.
Ireland just feels like more of a stand out song. Croatia feels like a college band from the early 00s
Ireland and Dublin 2025! My world vote has been cast!
It really makes no difference if you write ecstatic comments about Ireland with a different name each time. Really, you waste your time ;p Those who will like Ireland may vote for it (I dislike it personally but feel free to do otherwise, that’s music).
Sorry to disappoint you here, but we’re a Eurovision club of five people here!
*there – here
😮
I’ve yet to go to a Eurovision, not even Liverpool and I live fairly close! But Croatia would be lovely.
And we’d love you here. 😉
I think it is more and more safe to say that croatia will win the whole thing, how happy i am!!!
It now seems very likely. Switzerland lost the momentum but let’s wait and see what happens on Thursday. It will certainly be an exciting final!
Good that Ukraine is performing after Ireland. To purify the energies in the Arena, after that dark sound and message.
Light energies again.
Ukraine’s short snippet of yesterday looks beautiful. I am happy that it is not all red like in the rehearsals.
Good luck to Jerry Heil and alyona alyona and my other favorite contestants. Serbia, Moldova and Isaak Germany.
and Portugal
Seems that Croatia would get its 1st victory 🙂
Hope that Croatia, Switzerland and Italy would be in top3.
I also find Ukraine’s song boring and mediocre. If this song was sent by Moldova, no one was overhyping it.
I understand what fans thinks of Ukraine, but we have to be honest: there isn’t that much to choose from.
We also can’t ignore that they sing in their own language, they sing good, the rap part, and mama Tereza. They do have what it takes for top 10, but in other year it could be just 8th-12th or about.
Dublin 2025!
Lol
I agree- think it should be Galway or Cork.
Dublin would be a BLAST!
No doubt! Ireland! Hope they win Semi 1!
Baby Lasagna is rising in odds again. I saw the whole performance, im so proud of that boy, rock concert on Eurovision stage. Bravissimo
Definitely! Incredible energy!
I wote for Croatia an Iceland
at last ever since 2009 watching all replays and live streams Im now able to vote and I give a little hope to Poland, good luck! greetings from the Philippines.
Ooh nice choice! Luna is very sweet x
You All Must Wote To Cyprus And Poland Of Course , Simple The Best . Dont Wote To Naked Woman From Slowenia Or Zionist From Luxemburg Its Going To Cheapen The Contest And You Know It . And Dont Ewen Start Me With The Satanik Crap From Irish Its Just Albaminacion .
Welcome back bitc-h
I Never Left Freak
Ireland Should Be A Disqualified For Sending A Song About SATANIK SYMBOLS AND WITCH . Its Not A Apropriate Sitation For The Kids Who Are Watching The Eurowision .
Awhhh… You should’a kept in touch… We could have had coffee… Do you have coffee under that bridge… Or is it just billy goats.
Enjoy the show… Meow meow… Byeeeeee.
Genuinely that tale caused me a fear of bridges
I think you’re right. They might create ouija boards and contact their dead grandparents. Or sacrifice goats. Ireland must be BANNED!
Certainly NQ.
Ireland Will Qualify Because Of The Love That This Eurowision Fans Have For Satan , They Will Woting For It
Its Likely To Happen Its A Scary Time To Live When We Have Satanism At The Eurowision
Everyone – WOTING is now open!
Haha. What harm could her kids get up to tied to radiators in the basement. No wowovizen for them this year. Enjoy church beautiful lady.
(I should not have opened the Halloween candy… I’m full of sugar and 3-monyhs of staying quiet.)
More sugar for Fergal!
Num num num num
I Will Enjoy Church I Always Do
Yeah, but do they enjoy your… Oh.. now I’m just being mean. Must be the freak in me.
Don’t forget … Tune into channel Z at 25thy-o’clock. Get all those W’s and V’s out. Toodles. Hi to the kid’skis.
I Will Watch But Turn Off On This Sinful Preformance
You could just ask the intern to loosen your straps a little more so you wheel ‘yourself’ out of the asylum… But whatever works.
‘Vhat evvvwr Bebja vants…. Bebja gets…’
You use a lotta W’s for some who doesn’t like Vitches.
More candy anyone???
Albaminacion? What is this? I think you need to lay down and just enjoy the, show, dear.
Abamonacje Whatever How To Spell It You Know How I Mean .
Hmm I may have a theory about it but I’m not really sure.
Anyhow… Do your thing. Knock yourself out!
At Least You Amuse Us
That’s your only comeback… Come on man… Let the vitchyness out… This is the most fun I’ve had in months.
And on reflection… That sounds soooo sad for me 🙂
Looks like Bambies ring of candles had a tech-issue last night.. they weren’t firing… Someone call an electrician quick 🙂
Croatia running away in the odds warms my heart.
That we have to thank also in part to Ireland for being so awesome that will take away televote points from Italy and Switzerland and give us better chances. So thank you Ireland.
It is great to see… And to see the whole country get behind it… And it’s all Marko (music and lyrics). Best of luck 🙂
32% is craaaazy!
RIM TIM TAGI WIN!!!!
Is it even worth it for such a mediocre song and blatant copy of last year’s 2nd place…
Taste issues
Exactly! Karijaa copy!
Only the obvious Rammstein influences…for both.
Besides, this one is not showing boobs. 😉
Ohhhh… I had forgotten about Rammstein… Must have a listen.
I really hope we get the juries back in the semi-finals.
We better be prepared for some shocking results tonight.
I have a feeling Ireland will win the whole thing in the end.
It’s different, you can’t forget it, will get many public votes and will gain from the juries too. And it will be interesting to see them win in Sweden.
Yes, she has something and remarkable… However, think no chance of winning as it’s not wider crowd cup of tea.
Not with that song! No matter how epic staging, doesn’t change the song. It’s still bad song.
We had bad songs winning in the past..
The song is great, some of the best lyrics this year, i love the lyrics!!
I would love it to win and backed it to win at 33/1 way back when. I had faith in Bambie as an artist and they have delivered. A win would be great but it would still be a massive step forward if Ireland finished in the top 5 which I think it will. This will mean great things for Bambie’s artistic career but will mean that Ireland will move beyond safe- Ireland will be a contender.
Stop this row vote. anyone with a VPN can cheat and vote for his own country.
Unfortunately I have google one… So I’m still Oirish 🙁
Enjoy the show
they’re blocking vpn IPs as many as possible
I doubt a few people using VPNs gonna influence the votes from hundreds of other countries all that much.
Credit card is required, the one from non-participating country. So your vote might be not even counted
Voted! Ireland X 3 – and an extra soft spot vote for Luxembourg!
Final predictions for tonight: Cyprus, Lithuania, Ireland, Ukraine, Poland, Croatia, Finland, Australia, Portugal and Luxembourg. Never gotten 10/10, I’d happily see Serbia in instead of Luxembourg
The only time I had a 10/10 was in 2015 and I had 10/10 on both semi finals.
This year again I won’t have any 10/10 based on my personnal tastes as Finland and Netherlands are the bottom of my ranking and I’m pretty sure both will qualify quite easily (I could understand for Joost but I’ll never understand for Window95Man).
Its better than Ireland ..
Yeah no, I tend to strongly disagree but to each their opinion
I saw the preview show last night. I hope Poland and Moldova go through even though it’s a long shot. Their staging was great. So was Portugal’s. Still love Ukraine and Lithuania. Ireland seems more like performance art to me than a song. Please can acts stop perming in boxes? It’s naff. Looking at you UK.
Performing in boxes*
I am from the UK. I want Olly to do well but I don’t like the staging
Where did you see the preview show?
In Malmö
That’s why the UK box bothered me as it doesn’t work well when you are in the audience and not head on
ah, live.
I thought somewhere leaked online
Australia really in trouble. I thought Electric Fields would waltz into the final but I see this bottom four in nearly all polls and groups
All is not lost. Don’t forget they won their semi last year. Australia are good at semi-finals.
Yes but Voyager had a hugely pleasing song which they sold with fabulous staging. 2024 is not one of their strong years.
The didgeridoo might save them!!
After watching the recap, still cant understand the hype on Ukraine’s entry 🙁 ?t is average song; it is overrated because it is Ukraine
It’s a good and strong song.
And it will stand out after Ireland, to clear the energies in the arena.
Actually it is probably the best entry they ever sent.
Yes. Its crap
I heard that Ireland impressed everyone yesterday during the preview show and won the press center poll. I’m so happy. Ireland could be the dark horse that very few people saw coming this year (and I’m not one of them, I always thought Ireland would do like a 15th place).
18 for Ireland, 2 for Australia
I just bought candy for tonight… I’ll send you some 🙂
am voting for Ireland in the final (i have no worries whatsoever regarding tonight, think they’ll finish top 3 either in the semi) but i’m gonna help them in hopefully making the top 10 on saturday and who knows i’m not even ruling out a win
easily ireland’s best eurovision entry of all time to date for me personally
If all time are the last 20 years… ok.
If Azerbaijan don’t win the rest of world jury, they should just stop manufacturing briefcases because clearly they have no use anymore.
Winning rest of the world is between Ukraine, Serbia and Croatia. Those are the biggest diasporas that follow eurovision.
after last nights jury show i think Croatia is already pretty much safe, Cyprus i expect to qualify borderline on enough jury points, Ireland will be awarded for originality by juries either
There are no juries in the semis.
but its called ”jury show”?
Not anymore
Now it’s called Evening Preview Show but if I understood correctly last year, there are still juries watching and noting semi finals, in case a problem happens with the public votes of a country. I’m not sure of that though. Can someone confirm (or prove me wrong)?
i wasn’t that sure if they were doing same as last year, all a bit confusing for me but okay, yeah then i agree Iceland, Moldova are kinda chanceless, i also fear for Australia then, Azerbaijan not sure they could sneak in (instead of a Cyprus maybe) since they are doing what general public wanted from them send more authentic homegrown entries, and i feel Poland is in trouble as LUNA isn’t the strongest of singers and that song isn’t the most original Serbia has a unfavorable position but still performing after a generic cyprus surely helps a native language… Read more »
You’re perfectly right, Tino
I bought a couple of Turkish e Sims to vote for Azerbaijan. Good luck to all participants
I voted for Slovenia and Azerbaijan and on the pending charge of my credit card it says LUXEMBOURG SONG CONTEST wtf!?
I didn’t give any votes to Luxembourg. This is weird af
Oh well, let’s open the voting for Eurovision 2025 following this logic!
I wouldn’t read too much into these results. A lot can change in 24 hours and it’s only one of 16 votes. What is also really interesting this year is the lack of unanimity among polsters Italy, Switzerland and Croatia vie for the top slot but there’s huge disparity about the other potential qualifiers.
1 out of 19 votes
Of course thanks for correcting that.
I’d vote for Ireland, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Slovenia, and Australia.
I think that there are 4 safe qualifiers from this semi: Croatia, Ireland, Ukraine and Lithuania. They are all from the first half of the semi which means that some other songs from the same half might suffer and end up missing on qualification. I think that Serbia stands out enough being the only slow song and actually well performed so that leaves Cyprus and Poland. Poland has many friendly voting countries (UK, Germany, Ireland, Lithuania) when Cyprus has none, so this might be enough to push them through to the final, but there is also a chance that all… Read more »
Vote for what? It’s not even known what the acts finally look like. Is this also a Swedish idea?
Its all about money, money, money…
It’s a rich man’s world…
Soldi, soldi…
Please don’t assume someone else will vote for X, Y, or Z because of odds… Vote for who you love… Let the numbers lay as they may. It can scue the qualifiers. No jury… Just you guys. Enjoy tonight.
I gave 5 votes to Slovenia and Azerbaijan each
I’m Dutch, too bad I can’t vote tonight in this semi. But can I say how proud I am of Ireland? Remember when we where talking about their next NQ? I know for sure I’m proudly voting for them in the Grand Final <3
They did Luna dirty with that recap video before you vote.
