Today, our annual Press Poll was conducted for the dress rehearsal of the Eurovision Song Contest 2025 Semi-Final 1. In addition, we have collaborated with four other sites to bring you The Eurovision Audience Poll 2025 for this evening’s preview show – an exit poll of audience members as they left the St. Jakobshalle.
Audience Poll 2025
Following the success of the inaugural Eurovision Audience Poll throughout the preview shows in Liverpool and our return in Malmö, this year we are working in partnership with ESC Insight, 12 Points From America, Eurvoix and That Eurovision Site to conduct The Eurovision Audience Poll 2025. Members of the five participating platforms will be approaching audience members leaving the St. Jakobshalle after each evening preview show to ask them who their favourite of the night was.
The results for the evening preview show of Semi-Final 1 are:
Total number of votes: 1642 (1496 without AQ)
Audience members leaving the St. Jakobshalle were asked to vote for their favourite performance of the day (excluding the automatic qualifiers). Thank you to those who voted!
The 2025 Press Poll and Audience Poll
We will be running the same poll for Semi-Final 2 on Wednesday 14th May, and then for the Grand Final evening preview show on Friday 16th May.
In addition, accredited members of the press were able to follow proceedings during a closed set viewing of the dress rehearsal. Only on-site press attending the viewing were able to watch the full run through. No streams were available either in the press centre or on the online press centre. After today’s acts took to the stage, we invited members of the media to vote for their THREE favourite rehearsals of the day. The results of the Press Poll and further information can be found here.
