Greek Text :

Στους πίνακες παραπάνω έχετε τα αποτελέσματα του τελικού και των ημιτελικών.
Στον τελικό μετρά το tele-voting κατά 50% , ενώ το υπόλοιπο 50% της ψηφοφορίας κάθε χώρας ανήκει στις επιτροπές - κριτές.
Στους ημιτελικούς οι 9 πρώτοι που προκρίθηκαν βγήκαν από το tele-voting ενώ η επιτροπή έχει έναν μπαλαντέρ [JURY WILDCARD] και όρισε τον δέκατο κάθε ημιτελικού.
Στους παραπάνω πίνακες στα αγγλικά, δείτε ποιοι θα έμπαιναν στον τελικό εάν δεν έμπαινε ο μπαλαντέρ των επιτροπών - κριτών.

Τέλος υπάρχει και ο πίνακας με τις χώρες που πήραν δωδεκάρια και από πόσα.
Για οποιαδήποτε βοήθεια στη κατανόηση, χρησιμοποιείστε τα σχόλια και βεβαίως θα απαντήσω μόλις το δω.
