The 2022 edition of ChatVote, escgo! and the #esc chat’s annual event to find our community’s favourite entry from the current edition of the Eurovision Song Contest, has been won by Italy.
In an incredibly close head-to-head battle with Sweden, it was “Brividi” by Mahmood and Blanco that ultimately took the victory by 11 points over “Hold Me Closer” by Cornelia Jakobs.
Italy led Sweden by just one point after our 23 juries had voted, which meant the decision came down to the “supervote” – the televote-style additional vote determined by those who attended tonight’s event live in our chat. Carrying the weight of five juries, a similarly tight supervote also went in favour of Italy, giving them the overall victory.
The podium was completed by the Netherlands, while Cyprus brought up the rear in 24th and last place. The final scoreboard looked like this:
