  • The Icelandic audience "wanted to make some noise" with its votes during the alternative Eurovision show “Okkar 12 stig” and awarded  maximum 12 points to Diodato from Italy and his entry "Fai Rumore".

    Following this year’s cancellation of Eurovision 2020 , the national broadcasters across Europe are airing several alternative ESC shows conveying the Eurovision spirit and in search of  what could have been the country’s set of votes if Eurovision had taken place.

    Last Tuesday the Icelandic national broadcaster, RÚV, had announced the Top 15 ESC 2020 entries that were most voted during the series of  the show Alla Leid.  Taking in account the votes exclusively from the viewers Iceland determined its favorite ESC 2020 entries with all the profits of the show going to the battle against Covid-19.

    According to the televoting the Icelandic 12 points go to Diodato from Italy, while Little Big from Russia finished 2nd followed by The Roop from Lithuania in 3rd place.

     

     

    Here is the set of votes according to the public vote results: 

    12 points – Italy

    10 points  – Russia

    8 points – Lithuania

    7 points – Denmark
