The OGAE voting is nothing that gives a overall good view of the actual result, they can be very good predictors one year and then terrible wrong the other. We only get to know which songs the hardcore fans like the mostI am actually quite intrigued by these OGAE votes this year!
I though Sweden would be the runaway OGAE winner. They are not - at least it doesnt seem so this far. That makes me think that Sweden might struggle more than I expected in Vienna (by struggle I only mean that they might fall out of top 3-5. No way will Sweden be out of top 10).
It is no surprise to me that Italy is doing well. They are doing even better that what I expected.
I dont concider neither Estonia, Slovenia nor Norway typical fan-wanks of the year. The two first are more instant and might do better with the televoters - but I think that all three are able to get really good results!
I expect Australia to do much better that what is the case amongst the OGAE voters. Quite a few fans seem to be discontent with Australia taking part. And my impression is that this kind of song is not the typical to gather OGAE votes.
No points from Ireland to the UK
Were UK OGAE members nasty to the Irish ones or something
Whoooaaaaaat?
Wow, you really seem to have a problem with your countries entry.
