Every Eurovision year is different, but is also very much the same. Different, because no score sheet is similar to previous years. Looking at the voting history is only interesting to come up with a vague idea of the amount of points every ranked country gets. So that’s similar every year.
But the winner doesn’t get 180 points anymore these days, while a 7th placed country won’t get 600 points. So there are always funny little records that can be broken. A real nail-biter of a voting sequence, with less than 5 points between the 1st and 2nd place, could be an example of that. Statistically, with the current amount of participating countries, such a record is difficult to be broken. But it could make this year different from previous recent editions. And I think it will happen. Let’s go with my TOP 13 prediction! ■ By: Gert Waterink ■
