Eurovision 2023: Semi Finals data board | Every point visualised

- Finally, here’s a look at the detailed semi-final results, although we don’t have much detail to add as the Eurovision website is not telling us the individual rankings for each song. I’d like to know, for example, who Malta ranked 11th! Usually I’d be inclined to say that that’s geeky knowledge, but actually it was a public vote which many paid for…I’m sure individual broadcasters have that data available, via Freedom of Information requests, but I do think it should be collated and added somewhere public. Anyway, on to Tuesday…
It’s interesting how long it takes Sweden (Tattoo) to get near Finland (Cha Cha Cha) in the first semi-final, but ultimately it was Finland who dominated, with an impressive seven 12s, five 10s and two 8s - meaning 150 of their 177 points came from being ranked within the top 3 of each audience vote.
The race for 10th spot is the point of interest in these semi-finals and SF1 provides a much closer race between Serbia (Samo mi se spava) and Latvia (Aljā). In this run, selected at random, Serbia dramatically clinch a qualification spot at the expense of Latvia at the penultimate round. Their audience vote would suffer on Saturday in the Grand Final, and without much jury support, Serbia eventually ended up 24th out of 26. At the time, and I still agree, Malta’s scoreboard performance didn’t make their on-stage or Eurovision-week performances and appearances at all -something which I think still remains a little unexplained.
On Thursday, semi-final 2 was a much more ‘open’ affair on paper and the results here (shown again in a random order) confirm that. Keep an eye on the ‘highest points’ tally - it’s much more spread than SF1. We see a nice switching of leaders through this run and at one point Austria (Who The Hell is Edgar?) and Cyprus (Break a Broken Heart) were tied, with 6 countries within four points of each other. By the second half it’s Austria and Australia (Promise) who battle it out for first spot and are tied on points as the vote begins to reach its climax.
Two countries failed to score (San Marino (Like An Animal) and Romania (D.G.T. (Off and On)), with Greece (What They Say) and Denmark (Breaking My Heart) waiting until the second half of this run to register any points at all. There’s little to say about the race for 10th spot on this one as the audience clearly had a lot of interest in the final top 10, with a 30 point difference between Estonia (Bridges) in 10th and Iceland (Power) in 11th.
I think it’s also worth pointing out what impact SF2 had on the Grand Final. As the lion’s share of the points went to 1st and 2nd spot from both SF1 and in the GF, Thursday’s scoreboard performances didn’t really tally with what happened on Saturday. Belgium (Because Of You) actually finished as the highest qualifier from SF2 in the Grand Final, with 127 jury points helping them to 7th place. Tenth place qualifier Estonia finished in 8th in the Grand Final - again the juries helping lift them into the top 10 with 146 points after only getting 22 audience points.
More curiously, Australia, who had a decent running order spot on Saturday saw their audience vote melt away. Having won SF2 they only received 21 audience points - their jury performance did keep them in the top 10 overall though. Austria had a similar story, with the audience deserting them on Saturday but they had the difficult task of opening the Grand Final too.

As a Latvian, I felt betrayed
Latvia was in 10th place all the way till the very end. Gutting.
Your nordic friends left you to dust....i voted in Latvia from Portugal
Even though I already knew the result, the music and design made this nailbiting! Was Latvia gonna squeeze its way in? For a brief few minutes I lived in anxious hope haha
Excellent video
Such a good job, I enjoyed this a lot!
Cool!
Awesome graphics
Love your work. Although honestly I prefer the one you did last year since it's much more easier to sort into.
Perhaps just for the final
Yea good comment - I think I preferred the 2022 layout, but I saw a design for a scoreboard that could be used on the television properly and decided to adapt it somewhat. I may well work up an alternative design too and try to cover 2016-2022.
@@thereorderboard Yes. Please don't delete the one you already did. I just wanted a separate one that I can understand much more.
united by data lol
That is awesome, what programmes are you using for that?
You should do this like a simulator road to semi final 1 and grand finale and so u can choose the highest score or low
excellent job as awlays, showing once more that removing the juries from the semis is such a terrible dreadful decision.
The televote is even more polarized than the juries' one besides following the usual patterns of neighborhood, diaspora... The juries literally saved the contest in the last 10 years and made it the huge credible show it is now. Please let's not drag it back to 2002.
Agree, a jury would have never allowed Croatia or Poland to make it to the final or leaving Latvia or Georgia out of it

out still hurts big time
@@diegoardila2463
Not to mention how much the televote is influenced by the running order. Look at what happened to Austria this year and Czech Republic last year.
I looked on the website and the "How [insert country] voted" section now includes the countries that didn't receive points, and I'm willing to bet it's in the order of the rankings, because that's how it is for the Grand Final
Oh how interesting...I did think it would be sometime after I posted my video that they'd appear lol. Although there's not enough confirmation on there to confirm that they were the rankings...but I expect you're right about the order thing.
What happened to 1984, 1986-1989 and 1991 editions?
I would be happy if Azerbaijan reached the final😭💔
thereorderboard, can you do an animated scoreboard of the voting of Eurovision 1985? It’s between 1984 and 1986, and I need to watch it in order, because it feels right. If there is a copyright issue, then you can skip the song reminder at the end.
Hi, where are you watching from?
Sweden 🇸🇪 . Why do you wanna know?
@@martinlarsson217 1985 is blocked on CZcams in Sweden...well on my channel anyway unfortunately. It's not the songs either, it's where the presenter gets her dress caught on the stage for a joke. So I did 1985 a few years ago, and it's available...just not in Sweden :-(
Oh, that really sucks! I hope it will change in the near future. I mean, I can still watch it, but it will be confusing of the order because in the past Countries that got higher number of points than another country below that number didn’t jump above the county with the less number of points. I might travel to the United Kingdom, Ireland, Finland or whatever country where that video is allowed.
Or if it is something else. What if you make a video of 1985 without showing the presenter at all, what if you show your scoreboard at all time? And if it’s very strict at the time when Lingfors gets her dress caught up on stage. I’m sure that something like this would work. I just want to see the results of the ESC 1985 properly.
I still don't understand how Australia won Semifinal 2 and then bombed in the public vote in the final.
I think its televote got eaten up by other songs that were in SF1 like Cha Cha Cha
But yeah it's crazy how much less support they got from the public in the final, not like they had a bad performance there.
Those 10 points from Croatia to Serbia made all the difference in Latvia not qualifying. Don't you love neighbourly voting?
