Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands wins the Readers Prediction Poll escYOUnited

Yesterday, we asked #YOU to vote for which ten songs you’d predict to qualify for Saturday’s Eurovision final, and #YOU certainly didn’t disappoint! You voted and provided great feedback and we are ready to share the results with you.

The Betting Odds favorite is also our readers’ Number One. Duncan Laurence from the Netherlands received more votes than any other country and therefore the ESC United readership predicates that Duncan will take the top spot in this Semi. He has been leading the Betting Odds ever since the song was released so this outcome shouldn’t come as a surprise.

They already won the contest twice over the past decade and are aiming for another victory. Sweden is currently expected to finish in second place in this Semi if we can believe your predictions. That is also in line with the bookmakers, we will find out soon enough if that is going to be the case.

It was a close vote but ultimately Sergey Lazarev from Russia is expected to finish in third place in this Semi, sending him to the Grand Final. His power ballad Scream convinced enough of our readers to give him a high ranking in this Semi.
