The Eurovision is one of the world’s biggest song contests of all time. Each year, countries compete against each other on stage<\/strong><\/a> to prove that they have the best artists in the world. However, to become the Eurovision winner, you must win both the public’s and jury’s votes! However in 2025, the winners were somewhat controversial as the Jury and the public didn’t have the same opinion on the decision of points. Keep reading to discover everything about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The biggest difference between the audience and the jury points <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

During the finale, people can call or send a text to vote for their favorite country; However, to keep things fair, people can’t vote for their own country. The winner is then decided based on the points of the jury and the public votes. However, this year, Eurovision experienced the biggest point difference between the two groups of votes in history. More than five performances had a difference of more than 100 points! Making the winner of this year’s contest quite controversial! <\/p>\n\n\n

Another undeserved blunder for England! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Even though England has already won Eurovision five times, in recent years, they have been on a bad losing streak. It’s not even that they’re in the top 10 of the finalists. In 2024, England came in 18th, with just 46 points. The same thing happened this year, with a 19th place out of 26 countries. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most infuriating part? In both cases, the public voters gave 0 points to England, causing them to only receive points from the jury. You might think that their performance would have been the worst. However, this is also not the case. Winning points is all based on opinions, but receiving 0 points is cruel for the performers. What do you think, check out their performance right here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
