So, I actually enjoyed the new concept of votes presentation, it will for sure make the voting even more unpredictable.
Imagine if this was done in 2018, and Sweden being the 2nd last country to have their points announced.
Well, someone took the time to implement it with the 2018 results. I'm sure it'll be exciting this year since we don't know the final results yet. It may seem confusing, but is it worth it for the suspense and unpredictability? The winner would still not be officially confirmed until the last minute (unless you are a math prodigy and can keep track of the points). The countries that ranked higher in the juries would potentially get a rude awakening and the long build-up to their turn would mean lots of anticipation. Additionally, countries lurking near the bottom of the jury ranks wouldn't have to wait to be called (think of Poland 2016), and could lead to some early shocks.
Personally, I want to see how it plays out this year because it depends on how different the jury and televotes came along.
Time to be analytical.
In
2016, the way the televotes were presented worked fairly well because we got the climactic suspense at the end of whether
Russia would be able to pass
Ukraine. However, moments before that, you had noticed how
Poland's televote score was yet to be announced. They're just lurking at the bottom for most of the televote segment waiting to be called before we got to the real climax. By that time, we already know Poland slayed the televote and we were just waiting unsurprisingly for the points. Now with the 2019 version, imagine the unexpected shock of everyone if
Poland, being ranked second to last with the juries, suddenly gets this huge surge of 222 points early on in the televote segment. Another country that could've shook everyone similar to Poland would be
Austria, ranking immediately above Poland in the juries, but placed 8th in the televote.
Czechia,
UK,
Spain,
Belgium would be shook in the opposite direction as all their televote scores are significantly lower than their jury scores.
Russia (5th with jury) launching up into the top means that there would be much anxiety for countries above it in the jury ranking hoping to pass Russia.
Malta (4th with jury) and
France (3rd with jury) would shockingly flop, leaving
Ukraine and
Australia to vie for the top. We all know how the results played out in the end, but this different method would be a lot more drama I think.

2017, the end suspense wasn't as strong since it was basically
Bulgaria vs.
Portugal, but there is still room for that last-minute certainty of the winner. Literally in the televote, the gap between the top 10 and everyone else was relatively huge (
France was 10th in the televote with 90 pts. while
Azerbaijan was 11th with 42 points). You'd be able to distinguish which countries got many points and which got a few. Countries which initially ranked lower with the juries would be pleasantly surprised (
Croatia,
France,
Hungary,
Romania). And then you get to
Austria, which placed 11th with the juries, receiving
ZERO points, and immediately after that, 10th-placed
UK would be screwed over with a measly 12 televote points.
Norway and
Netherlands would also be affected similarly. Even better, by the time we get to
Australia, which placed 4th with the juries, the 2 points from the televote would've been such a hilariously tragic moment.

2018, the video above kind of speaks for itself. I do find it interesting that the jury vote was
Austria vs.
Sweden while the televote was
Israel vs.
Cyprus, which were
the fan favorites at the time of the final. So the presentation of the top results may lose their intensity since Cyprus (5th with jury) and Israel (3rd with jury) were so hyped and once we learned their points we would just wait for Austria's and Sweden's points since we assume by then that they're not gonna win considering how high both Cyprus and Israel were hyped and scored.

- although it's not like that (especially the amount of songs listened so far because it's more like the exact difference for me) I feel similar.
