A fatal error during the broadcast of the second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 on the Italian channel RAI2. After the finalists were announced, a banner was displayed below with the results of the local TV broadcast posted. The rule is that the results remain completely secret until after the final.
The X ESC Discord account posted the relevant segment online in which the 16 countries in the second semi-final in a row are presented, followed by percentages. It is clear that it is related to the voting percentages achieved. Below you will find the list:
- Malta: 2.19%
- Albania: 6.68% (8 points)
- Greece: 5.29% (4 points)
- Switzerland: 6.03% (6 points)
- Czech Republic: 2.48%
- Austria: 2.84%
- Denmark: 2.93% (2 points)
- Armenia: 5.83% (5 points)
- Latvia: 2.91% (1 point)
- San Marino: 3.54% (3 points)
- Georgia: 6.64% (7 points)
- Belgium: 1.69%
- Estonia: 2.80%
- Israel: 39.31% (12 points)
- Norway: 1.55%
- Netherlands: 7.32% (10 points)
In addition to the stated percentages, we set the points ourselves based on the ranking. Israel clearly won the Italian television broadcast with about forty percent of the total votes. He is followed closely behind by Joost Klein from the Netherlands, who received ten points at just over seven percent.
Our Mustii team finished penultimate in the Italian rankings with 1.68% of the total votes. Only Norwegian group Gåte performed slightly worse.
The video in question in which the results were leaked can be viewed below:
