We recently began our brand new series: XTRA VOTE Rewind! Over the next few months, in collaboration with Eurovision YouTuber EuroCelso Reactions, we’ll be revisiting some Eurovision Song Contests from earlier this century to see what you think and what we think with an accompanying series of XTRA Jury articles.
For our first journey back in time, we rediscovered Eurovision Song Contest 2004 in which 36 countries took part in Istanbul, Türkiye. You can see what the ESCXTRA team thought by reading our 2004 XTRA Jury article. Furthermore, you can see how you, the readers of ESCXTRA, and the viewers of EuroCelso Reactions on YouTube ranked the 2004 entries!
The results
