Now you know our qualifiers, let’s find who our Top 10 were counting down from 10th to 1st!
All of the following pictures were taken by Corinne Cumming, Sarah Louise Bennett, and Alma Bengtsson.
10th: Ireland 🇮🇪 Bambie Thug – Doomsday Blue: 25 points
We’re starting our Top 10 with a fan favourite, Ireland’s most beloved witch Bambie Thug finished in 10th place in a tough contest scoring 25 points. If they can replicate this success in Eurovision, this would be Ireland’s best result since 2011! While we didn’t crown the witch this time, we’re sure Bambie Thug will make Ireland very proud whatever the result!
9th: Georgia 🇬🇪 Nutsa – Firefighter: 34 points
Nutsa wowed everyone with her rehearsals and she also wowed the Phoenix team where she finished in 9th place. A result which if achieved in Eurovision, would match Georgia’s best ever finish!
8th: Sweden 🇸🇪 Marcus & Martinus – Unforgettable: 39 points
Impressing the Phoenix jurors were Sweden and Marcus & Martinus finishing in 8th place. They’ll be hoping to deliver an unforgettable (sorry) performance for Sweden and deliver the hosts a great result on Saturday!
=6th: United Kingdom 🇬🇧 Olly Alexander – Dizzy: 44 points
We have a tie for 6th place! Olly Alexander for the UK has been one of the most-talked about contestants of the year and his staging is definitely one of the most memorable! Despite the great result for him, it’s important to note that most of the members of Phoenix are from the UK so it’s natural some of us will support our entry, but we know he’ll do the UK proud!
=6th: Greece 🇬🇷 Marina Satti – ZARI: 44 points
Joining Olly is Marina Satti for Greece! While her song did divide opinions with our jury, she received 3 sets of 10 points to finish in a respectable 6th place.
5th: Netherlands 🇳🇱 Joost – Europapa: 51 points
Into our top 5 now we start with Joost from The Netherlands! ‘Europapa‘ scored well with our jurors finishing with 51 points! Some fans think this could be a televote winner in the final! Could this happen in a few days time?
4th: Ukraine 🇺🇦 ALYONA ALYONA & Jerry Heil – Teresa & Maria: 64 points
Another massive fan favourite, ALYONA ALYONA and Jerry Heil captivated the Phoenix jurors as well! Just missing out in the Top 3 by 1 point, Ukraine achieved a great score of 64 points in total!
3rd: Lithuania 🇱🇹 Silvester Belt – Luktelk: 65 points
Silvester was our Semi-Final winner, so it’s no surprise to see him in our Top 3 in the final! He scored points from almost all of our jurors and finished with 65 points! Can he do the same this week and deliver Lithuania’s best ever result?
2nd: Switzerland 🇨🇭 Nemo – The Code: 73 points
Our runner-up this year is Nemo with ‘The Code’ who has wowed Eurofans alike with their genre-defying song and powerful vocals. It was always going to be a close finish but Switzerland scored 73 points. They do have the honour of receiving the most 12 points from our panel with 3 of them saying it was the best song!
1st: Italy 🇮🇹 Angelina Mango – La Noia: 76 points
We have a winner! Ever since her Sanremo performances, she’s captivated thousands of fans and Angelina Mango’s song ‘La Noia‘ for Italy is our Phoenix Eurovision champion of 2024! Just ahead of Switzerland, Italy scored 76 points from our jury. Will the rest of Europe be crowning her as the Eurovision champion? We won’t have long to find out!
The Full Results
Belgium, Portugal and Croatia complete the left-hand side of our scoreboard. Croatia’s 12th place result is surprising given at the time of writing, Baby Lasagna is the bookies’ favourite to win the contest! France who’s also a bookmaker’s favourite surprisingly was in the bottom 5.
Poland was saved from a ‘nul points’ thanks to one of our contributors awarding LUNA a maximum of 12 points.
One of the biggest shocks was that Slovenia who did so well in our semi-finals finished joint last with 0 points.
But don’t forget that these are just our results! During the live shows, thousands of people will be voting for their favourite songs! In such an open year this time, we have no idea who will win this year, but one thing we do know is that it’s going to be another amazing contest in Sweden!
