The last time the jury and the public agreed on the Eurovision winner was way back in 2017. That year Portugal’s Salvador Sobral topped both halves of the vote, making him the undisputed king of that edition.
Since then there has always been a disparity. The people’s winner took the crown in 2018, 2021, and 2022 (that’s Netta, Måneskin and Kalush Orchestra). While the jury’s winner won it all over the past two years (Loreen and Nemo).

Eurovision 2024 grand final: Who did the jury help and hurt the most?
At Eurovision 2024, Switzerland’s win came down to large support from the professional juries who ranked them first (whereas the public ranked them fifth). The juries didn’t just rank Nemo first — they did so with a staggering 365 points. That was 147 points more than what the juries awarded their runner-up Slimane from France.
In terms of absolute points, Switzerland was the act that benefitted the most from the juries. Portugal’s iolanda benefitted the second-most (+126), followed by Germany’s Isaak (+81), Sweden’s Marcus & Martinus (+76) and Luxembourg’s Tali (+63).
Who did the juries hurt in the Eurovision 2024 grand final?
Israel’s Eden Golan was the artist hurt most by the juries. They gave “Hurricane” 271 fewer points than the public.
Other acts that received significantly fewer jury points than televote points were Ukraine’s Jerry Heil & alyona alyona (-161) and Croatia’s Baby Lasagna (-127). Of course, Ukraine came fifth with the juries and Croatia came third with the juries in terms of rank ordinals. But because the jury votes went overwhelmingly to Nemo, the discrepancy in absolute terms is large.
