How does the voting work?

The semi-finals are decided entirely by a public vote from competing countries and people in the rest of the world. For the final, every country which qualifies awards two sets of scores: one from a jury of experts and one by fans. Each of their 10 favourite songs is given points – but they can’t vote for their own country’s song.

We hope you enjoy the Eurovision song contest as much as we will, enjoy!

Prediction

The prediction for Eurovision 2025 is that Sweden are expected to take the crown, with the country being represented by KAJ, the winners of Melodifestivalen 2025.

Bara Bada Bastu performance’s and growing popularity have positioned them as strong contenders for the title, sparking excitement among fans and boosting Sweden’s chances on the international stage now as short as EVS.
