Voting analysis 5: Who voted for Belgium?


Belgium – Belgium has reached the final for the first time since 2004 this year with Tom Dice’s “Me and my guitar”. In the final it reached a very good 6th place and thus the best position for Belgium since they were the runner-up in 2003. But who voted for Belgium and more interestingly who didn’t?

In general we can say, that Belgium was more popular in Western and Central Europe. Its only 12 points came from

neighbour Germany. The German jury said after the contest that Belgium was their favourite and Tom Dice has already announced to start promoting his single and album in Germany soon.

The 10 points came from Ireland, Iceland, Denmark,Malta, Poland and Slovakia.

In the rest of Scandinavia the song was not as popular as in Denmark and Iceland getting only 2 points from Sweden and 3 from hosts Norway.

Belgium also got some support from neighbours France (7 points) and the Netherlands (6 points) but less than in earlier contest. The Netherlands hadn’T qualified to the final and so the diaspora vote was probably much more powerful in that country.

Overall, the song got almost no support in the Balkans and the Caucasus, but also Big4 nations Spain and the United Kingdom didn’t give Tom Dice a single point.

  1. And Germany don’t usually vote for Belgium, the neighbouring thing is again, pointless. Their only country that use to vote for them in the contest is the Netherlands.
