With the imminent start of Eurovision 2025 rehearsals in the Swiss city of Basel, contestants from 37 countries are entering the most crucial phase of preparations, where the performances that could shape the winner of this edition will be determined.

Following the release of all the entries in March, the renowned international Eurovision fan portal Wiwibloggs conducted a poll asking the public to vote for their favourite to win. A total of 18,951 people took part in the poll, reflecting the huge interest from the festival's global fan community.

The results show that Albania's representatives, "Shkodra Elektronike", are currently the favorites to win Eurovision 2025. Although in a previous poll they were ranked second in the first semi-final, a new wave of support brought them to first place in this wide-ranging poll.

Their song "Zjerm" received a total of 2,106 votes, which makes up 11.11% of the total. In second place is Finland, represented by Erika Vikman with the song "ICH KOMME", which conveys a message of sexual freedom.

Erika is a household name among Eurovision fans and secured 1,969 votes in the poll, which is 10.39% of the total. Third place goes to the group KAJ, a Finnish trio representing Sweden this year with the song “Bara Bada Bastu”, an anthem of Nordic life and sauna love. They have often been considered the frontrunners in the betting and received 1,620 votes (or 8.55% of the total).
