Soon after the results of the Eurovision Song Contest were in, many people started to ask how the results would have been if only the countries that took part in the final had voted. The top two would still have been the same but we can seem some significant changes in the lower positions.
This would have been the result with only the countries in the final voting:
- Russia – 142
- Ukraine – 137
- Norway – 127
- Armenia – 116
- Greece – 108
- Turkey – 88
- Serbia – 81
- Israel- 70
- Azerbaijan – 59
- Iceland – 58
- Bosnia & Herzegovina – 56
- Georgia – 48
- Denmark – 44
- Latvia – 39
- Portugal – 32
- Spain – 31
- France – 30
- Sweden – 28
- Romania – 26
- Croatia – 26
- Albania – 21
- Finland – 21
- Poland – 4
- Germany- 0
- United Kingdom – 0
Norway would have finished in third position only 15 points behind Russia and Iceland would have reached the top ten. This is obviously based on the fact that all Nordic countries made it to the final. On the other hand, Sweden would have even finished in a lower position as Charlotte Perrelli got her only 12 points from Malta, one of the countries that were eliminated in the semi final. Greece would have dropped to fifth place while Armenia would have stayed at #4. The bottom three would be the same although without the countries from the semi finals, the UK and Germany would have shared the last place with no points at all and Poland would have been third last with four points.
