Eurovision 2024 – News, results and must-watch performances

Quick guide: how the contest worked in 2024

Eurovision still used the two-part scoring: national juries plus public televote. Each country gave a jury score and a separate public score — those totals decided qualifiers and the final winner. Semi-finals narrowed the field, then the top acts met in the grand final. If you want the exact point breakdowns, check the official scoreboard on eurovision.tv or the video replay for the jury runs and the televote reveals.

Tip: watch the jury rehearsal videos first. They show the performance without live-audience edits and often explain staging choices that changed for the final.

What to look for in recaps and reviews

When reading a recap, focus on three things: staging, song hook, and televote appeal. Staging can turn a decent song into a viral moment. The hook — a short, repeatable musical phrase — is what people hum the next day. Televote appeal is often about emotion and relatability, not just vocal power.

If you're comparing acts, look at the running order and the broadcast mix. Acts later in the show often do better in the public vote. Jury scores reward technical singing and composition, so a strong jury score can save a less flashy staging.

Want a playlist? Start with semifinal qualifiers plus any songs that trended on TikTok during the contest. Save acoustic versions and official music videos — those often reveal different production choices.

Got questions about national selections? Many countries run televised national finals that matter almost as much as Eurovision itself. Following those lets you spot breakout acts months before the main event.

How to watch replays and highlights: Eurovision’s official YouTube channel posts full replays, clips and the press conference videos. National broadcasters also keep archives; check your country’s public service broadcaster for commentary versions and subtitles.

Want straight results and stats? Look for: final ranking table, jury vs televote split, top 10 in each country, and which entries got 'nul points' from the public. Those stats tell you who had broad appeal and who was more of a jury favorite.
