Introducing the debut of the ESCToday Votes! The ESCToday jury has voted in traditional Eurovision style to determine their top 10 songs which they believe should qualify on the 9 May to the grand final of the 2017 Eurovision Song Contest.
For the first time in the history of the website, the editors at ESCToday of all ages and backgrounds have submitted their top 10 favourite songs of this year’s first and second semi-final!
What have they decided? Which countries would they like to see advance to the grand final on the 13 May?
The 11 member jury has voted in traditional Eurovision style with points ranging from 1 to 8 and then 10 and 12 points which were awarded to their top 10 favourite songs.
