The second semi-final of the Eurovision Song Contest 2024 was held last night. Angelina Mango's first official performance was seen which she brought to Malmö Boredomearning applause during the a cappella part, among other things.
Here is the video of the performance:
Last night Italy also voted. The controversy of the day concerns the choice made by Rai to broadcast at the end of the live broadcast what appear to be the percentages of the televoting expressed by our country, which were passed on in the girth. However, the regulation provides that televoting and the national juries' votes are only disseminated at the end of the entire competition. Indeed, even the composition of the juries must be announced on Saturday.
Given the ban, will this irregularity have regulatory consequences? And then, given the current situation and the political nature of the event, the very high percentage expressed for Israel (almost 40% of the total, with a gap of over 30 percentage points from the second country) could influence the votes attributed to 'Italy in tomorrow's final?
Here are the percentages: Israel 39.31%, Netherlands 7.32%, Albania 6.68%, Georgia 6.64%, Switzerland 6.3%, Armenia 5.83%, Greece 5.29%, San Marino 3 .54%, Denmark 2.93%, Latvia 2.91%, Austria 2.84%, Estonia 2.8%, Czech Republic 2.48%, Malta 2.19%, Belgium 1.68%, Norway 1, 55%.

situation after the announcement of the running order: Croatia, Israel and Sweden lead the way in predictions. Croatia was granted a great place in the lineup. Italy was so-so (some say that after the slide in televoting it was the minimum). but a lot can still happen #exit pic.twitter.com/7PL1Kt8mzm
