Who does Twitter love in Eurovision?

As a number of fan clubs and sites (including ourselves) rate their top 10s for Eurovision coming up, a few trends are starting to appear consistently.

But is this a true indication of what the public think? Are fan clubs and sites the opinion of super fans (hello Valentina!). So we thought instead of looking at super fans we might cast our eyes over the Twitterverse and see what a mix of general fans think.

We spent far too much weekend time reviewing 50 random twitter users who had publicly declared their top 5s or top 10s. We collated the votes and here are the results.....

10th - Estonia 104 points

9th - Azerbaijan 104 points

8th - FYR Macedonia - 119 points

7th - Portugal 122 points

6th - Switzerland 125 points​

5th - Bulgaria - 137 points

​

4th - Belgium - 137 points

​

3rd - Sweden 141points

2nd - France 232 points

1st - Italy - 308 points

​

So well at first glance not a lot of surprises. Italy wins, Belgium, Sweden and Bulgaria do well. However... France in second place comfortably in front of 3rd is interesting. Perhaps people new to the song aren't tainted by the revamp? Switzerland in the top 10 is a huge surprise to me personally. Though it has performed decently in the OGAE poll.

Some more interesting results come out of the full list:

*Greece is dead last with only one point

*UK is set to have one of the best performance in years

*Australia performs relatively ok in 15th *Germany is set to come last in the final for the third year running *Czech Republic finishes much higher than anticipated in 30th
