Sunday, 07 June 2020

  • #Eurovision Again has given the chance to all Eurovision fans to watch once again past editions of the Eurovision Song Contests and feel the joy and excitement of the contest without any interruptions. Last Saturday night the 2018 edition hit the screens once again, on the ESC Youtube Channel followed by an online voting that crowned Eleni Foureira winner of that year's edition.

    The first to launch such initiative, was a group of fans that uploaded past events, while EBU followed through its official Eurovision Youtube Channel. Once the competing part of the contest is over, the audience has the chance to cast its votes and make up a new result for each edition.

    The EBU chose to rebroadcast Saturday night not a vrey distant away in time contest but the same excitiing for its outcome and enjoying with marvellous performances. The 2018 edition hit our screens through the official ESC Youtube channel giving the fans to live again the spectacular stage performances at Altice Arena in Liisbon and the exciting vothing that followed declaring then Nett tha winner of the contest. 

    However the online voting that followed the rebroadcast didn't have the same outcome as Eleni Foureira triumphed in the fans' voting leaving behind with a wide margin Netta. Apart from the change in the  two frist places, we saw Madame Monsieur climb to the third place while Sara Aalto from second last in the actual scoreboard saw her "Montsters" finish 4th. The top 5 closed another surpising result as SuRie got the fifth bigger amount of votes. Probably its the #EurovisionAgain voting with the most impressive up and downs comparing to the actual results back in 2018.
