OGAE Poll

[carl1]

Latvia, Denmark, Hungary and Lithuania deserved some points.

A very nice top 5. And congratulations to Il Volo and Italy. I definitely wouldn't mind such a result in 2 weeks time. It would be my favourite winner in a long long time.

 

[GRE]

This is not a good omen for Italy.

This is not a good omen for Italy.

Sanna came 3rd last year despite winning the OGAE vote but I understand what you mean :/

Charlotte won the poll in 2008 and didn't finish well in the actual contest

The same with in 2011 so it can go either way

didn't win 2011, did and they were 2nd

Its not surprising they both flopped though as they both had some major issues with vocals and stage performances. Kati was never realistically in the running and Amuary just flopped on all levels

flopping in 2008 makes sense as well when you look at all the facts that year as well.

Of course my bad

But then I agree, the performances from and were not good

Most agree that 2008 and 2011 were “unusual” years to say the least anyway, but in their other 6 years the OGAE matched the winner 4 times and the other 2 were in their Top 4. They consistently match around 6 of their Top 10 (60%,) (not in the same order,) with the actual Top 10 and 14 of their Top 20 (68%) with the actual Top 20. These are excellent stats. In 2009 they matched 9/11 plus the winner. When you consider that 40 different juries and 40 televotes (maybe less) vote this year, that’s not bad going. Obviously the OGAE vote can only represent the Televote part of course, not the jury.

So the question for everyone is, is this a 2008/2011 or is it more similar to the other 6 years

If you look in here, many says this year is like 2011

But Amaury gave us a very poor performance. That's why he failed.

Now I'm absolutely sure, Italy won't win.
I bet it will be , or possibly .

I'd like to share your enthusiasm, but the OGAEs have got 2007, 2009, 2012 and 2013 winners right, so I wouldn't be so sure.

 

[Krishoes]

Maybe I'm just cautious and superstitious but I'm still thinking that will win and I'm surprised that their song isn't in the top 5 of OGAE

I am not surprised that Australia is not top 5 in the OGAEs. I thought they would be even further down. But they will sure do better in the real contest. MUCH better.

Why do you think that? For the genre of the song?

Being right 50 percent of the time isn't that great.

 

[GWTW1939]

^^^
2 of their winners also placed top 4. So out of 8 years they have 6 successes and only 2 real failures.

Its not as bad a record as people say it is, although of course no one should take the results as being set in stone or anything

 

[RainyWoods]

That feeling when your top three all get 0 points from OGAE.

How come 17 countries without points?! It's unbelievable!
