One week ago at UMK 2025, she came, she saw, and she conquered. And now Erika Vikman has once again come, saw, and conquered by topping our poll, “Who is your favourite Eurovision 2025 act so far?”

Finland’s Erika Vikman is our readers’ favourite Eurovision 2025 act so far (15 February)

On Monday we asked you to choose your favourite from the dirty dozen acts we had so far. We counted exactly 7,121 votes and Finland stormed to the top. Erika’s sensual performance of “ICH KOMME” earned 1,597 votes — or more than 22% of all those cast. 

Finishing in second place — with roughly half as many votes — is Malta’s Miriana Conte. Her “KANT” earned an impressive 857 votes, or around 12% of all those cast. Empowered women are clearly the trend of the contest so far.

Finishing in third place — by just one vote! — is Albania’s Shkodra Elektronike. They earned 856 votes — or 12% of all those cast. Albania has consistently been near the top of our poll, showing they have staying power.

Where did your favourite finish last week? And how will these results change when we add Armenia, Lithuania, Norway, Estonia, Poland and Italy into the mix later today?

Finland is good it’s catchy but it’s largely a backing track and a singer –
Not sure that’s particularly fair

Finland may win televote but charming a jury won’t be that easy. That will be Josh Portugal or Sweden no doubt if the predicted winner is stick man 2015

I can’t see this winning the televote, not even close. Its popularity on this site is genuinely a mystery to me, it’s abysmal.

I don’t think it will win the televote, people know know ‘what’s coming ‘ and aren’t surprised anymore, The song itself is not the most exciting it’s all about the performance.

We still don’t know about 20 songs, so it could be the best year ever.
There have never been more than 10 good or reasonable songs in a year.
