This year, the Australian public vote differed significantly from the European vote. All weekend there were huge Eurovision parties in Melbourne, Sydney and the other major Australian cities.
Although Australia cannot vote in the actual Eurovision Song Contest, each year the public do televote to decide their winner and in 2011 there are some surprise results :-
- Ireland 8350
- Greece 7120
- Serbia 4429
- Bosnia & Herzegovina 4150
- Moldova 3397
- Hungary 2862
- Sweden 2521
- Denmark 2097
- United Kingdom 1339
- Ukraine 1338
- Finland 1308
- Romania 1205
- Iceland 1061
- Russia 982
- Italy 935
- Germany 922
- Estonia 820
- Slovenia 757
- France 576
- Austria 483
- Georgia 473
- Spain 456
- Switzerland 356
- Lithuania 262
- Azerbaijan 245
So, Europe's winner is Australia's least favourite song of all. Other marked differences in the voting patterns see the actual runner up Italy only in 15th place and Serbia faring much better with the Australian public than the European.
Ultimately, the Australian public decided that Jedward from Ireland was their favourite entry with a clear distance between first and second place.
