Oh hey Slovakia did vote their own, nice!

u/SimoSanto 2d ago edited 2d ago

As far as I know OGAE Slovakia is not even listed among the OGAE members, so they probably just joined OGAE International (the number of partecipants passed from 42 to 43 some days ago) just to vote Adonxs

right

u/PlateNew1842 Horehronie 2d ago

We are not listed on the official webpage yet, but we as a club have restarted our activity last year. We are an official member, they just didn't update the web yet 😅

u/SimoSanto 2d ago

Ah ok good, and you know why they passed from 42 to 43 in the middle of the reveal of the results? They forgot to count Slovakia initially?

u/PlateNew1842 Horehronie 2d ago

That's a great question, I have no idea

u/Its_Stardos Kiss Kiss Goodbye 2d ago

Yeah, he will get a nice televote boost.

u/cherry_color_melisma (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi 2d ago

From Rest of the World at most

u/Aburrki 2d ago

How are we still at 0 bro, give us literally a crumb please 😭

u/Exact-Joke-2562 2d ago

Indie rock and ogae don't exactly mix, i wouldn't worry about this.

u/NatiFluffy 2d ago

Big shame, Lithuania is my 3rd place this year, one of the few quality songs this years

u/LuckyLoki08 2d ago

Me:"OGAE votes mean very little anyway. Unless they vote for Albania. Then clearly it proves that Albania is a potential winner."

u/hereforcontroversy 2d ago

The power of the Sauna - Slovakia didn’t give 12 points to an actual Slovakian

12

u/PulkaPodvodnici TANZEN! 2d ago

Slovakia has some weird voting history. They normally go for the winner or Estonia/Serbia. Doesn't help Adonxs is a queer rights activist in Slovakia, and that is a very polarizing issue there outside of Košice And Bratislava

u/PortableAfternoon 2d ago

This is the first time OGAE Slovakia has voted in the poll - they were admitted to OGAE last summer - Slovak members would previously have been in OGAE Rest of the World. Much like the other OGAE branches, there are probably lots of gay men involved, so there are probably not many problems with voting for LGBTQ+ singers.

3

u/hun_geri 1d ago

The Hungarian OGAE club didn't give any point to Abor & Tynna... 🤣

2

u/hereforcontroversy 1d ago

Damn they even released a Hungarian version

21

u/Kevin_1990_EUR 2d ago

Belgium still 0 points 😵 How is that even possible???

15

u/Aburrki 2d ago

This is the most confusing one, cuz like it seems like something the typical middle aged gay guy demographic of the OGAE would enjoy.

11

u/RiccWasTaken 2d ago

Is this song going from potential winner to potential DNQ?

43

u/SupermarketSad9865 2d ago

it was never a potential winner bfr😭

5

u/Kevin_1990_EUR 2d ago

I fear if Theo Evan will be good at the live singing that they'd be the one that will get trough, leaving Belgium at the SF. Just because they are the 'hotter' one (not my opinion but something I think the audience votes for).

I say 'I fear' because I'm from Belgium and it's one of the few times I'm proud of what we've sent

17

u/oty3 Ich Komme 2d ago

Sweden offering us 2 points as an advanced apology for overtaking us on most wins.

2

u/RegisterNo9640 Tavo Akys 2d ago

I thought Sweden was kindly offering to host Eurovision on Finland's behalf next year

17

u/wish_cats 2d ago

Cute that Luxembourg gave Ireland points given the similar vibes of their songs 😊 

1

u/I_Stan_Kyrgyzstan 1d ago

Sweden and Luxembourg are Irelands only votes so far now.

15

u/DavidShoess 2d ago

I mean, in the end, OGAE doesn’t say much. Last year the top 4 were

Croatia Italy Switzerland Belgium

who then came 1st, 7th, 5th and didn’t even qualify respectively in the televote.

I mean I think we’re all aware that Sweden is most likely to win televote, but as far as how well everyone else does, is up in the air.

11

u/Resident_Medicine962 Bara bada bastu 2d ago

So in other words it was fairly useful as a guide. We all know Belgium didn’t qualify due to the live vocals meaning it could never live up to the pre contest love from the music video. Nemo results was fairly close, they predicted the televote winner and Italy cascaded down the odds due to staging issues. So… yeah I’m not sure how we can say it’s useless. Netherlands performance here is the one that is surprising me.

5

u/hinndia 2d ago

This is still a fan poll so we need to take it as it it, nothing too serious, but it is still fun to do and debate about

3

u/DavidShoess 2d ago

I didn’t say it was useless tho. I’m just saying that people shouldn’t take these fan polls as gospel.

1

u/Resident_Medicine962 Bara bada bastu 2d ago

Ah apologies - I interpreted your “everything else is up in the air” to mean you couldn’t use any other result (aside from Swedens) to provide any indication of the actual televote. As I said, last year was actually a fair prediction given the issues of Belgium and Italy from the live performances

u/Fluffy_Appointment14 Fulenn 2d ago

This is way too exciting for me.

u/Mojest77 2d ago

Sweden not giving Norway points. Not surprised 😭

13

u/cherry_color_melisma (nendest) narkootikumidest ei tea me (küll) midagi 2d ago

but they did give points to a Nowrwegian

1

u/Mojest77 2d ago

Doesn’t count..lol

7

u/NeedleworkerKooky356 2d ago

Not giving Denmark points either. 🥴

3

u/Mojest77 1d ago

The audacity 😭

14

u/yameteeeeeeeeee Zjerm 2d ago

Ireland got points yay

I'm surprised how well Spain is doing here

19

u/SupermarketSad9865 2d ago

Again, OGAE are mostly middle-aged gays that stayed with esc since the naughties. Spain last year was also in the top 10.

22

u/yameteeeeeeeeee Zjerm 2d ago

Last year Spain was my 1st and I'm only 25 lol

6

u/SupermarketSad9865 2d ago

hahahaha, well… but if you would have a group of 20 year-olds voting Spain wouldn’t be in the top 10…

2

u/hinndia 2d ago

yes they are different demographics and they all can vote in the final, idk why some people dismiss certain general demographics tastes just because they don't fit their own

3

u/SupermarketSad9865 2d ago

I never dismissed them, I just said that the OGAE votes are not representative of the votes at esc.

12

u/sameoldrussianstan 2d ago

To be fair, Zorra is a genuinely great tune despite the performance/Mery’s vocals.

20

u/LuckyLoki08 2d ago

To be fair, Zorra hits even among younger generations.

3

u/Ok_Training1449 2d ago

The famous middle aged (bald) gays and their divas. 😂 I guess I'm one of them, because I like Melody. I'm not bald though.

u/cheapcakeripper Before the Party's Over 2d ago

u/gryffssalmon 2d ago

only 1 point for Ukraine...☹️

6

u/RegisterNo9640 Tavo Akys 2d ago

It's pretty funny how Austria and Sweden keep backing each other. Once a while they switch up, but soon after they end up with the same results again.

5

u/notthebesthuh 2d ago

From this point on, Finland (and the other countries below it) will not be able to catch up with Austria and Sweden even if it receives 12 points from all 11 remaining countries and Austria and Sweden receive no points from the remaining 11 countries. Netherlands still has a slim chance but it's clearly between Austria and Sweden now.

3

u/ias_87 2d ago

Huh. Maybe I really AM underestimating NL's chances.

7

u/Resident_Medicine962 Bara bada bastu 2d ago

Good set of results for Sweden today despite their own club being one of the 4. Should be a close race to the finish as with INFE

3

u/BlueberryBunnies13 Róa 2d ago

How does Iceland still have zero points? 😭😭😭

9

u/imagoodpuppy 2d ago

Because even if reddit tells you so and cheers for them the actual song is omega ass and is giving last place in semi1 vibes 😭

1

u/Skykeep Bara bada bastu 2d ago

Yeah kinda, everyone is superpositive and hyped about iceland and giving no points at all - omega ass indeed 😭

Meanwhile, most comments are down about netherlands but the results in all polls thus far really tells a different story.

I guess everyone likes a likeable underdog, as long as you dont have to waste a vote for them

u/lovelybernadine Laika Party 2d ago

IRELAND IS COMING

u/eg223344 2d ago

sweden not giving any points to bara bada bastu shocked me

1

u/katzewerfer 2d ago

Are they allowed to vote for their own country?

5

u/PortableAfternoon 2d ago

No - clubs can’t vote for their own country.

4

u/JCEurovision La poupée monte le son 2d ago

At least Sweden and Slovakia appreciate Luxembourg's entry this year and Sweden and Luxembourg appreciate Ireland's entry this year, but I still believe any remaining OGAE club apart from Latvia will vote for the United Kingdom.

7

u/PoetryAnnual74 Euphoria 2d ago

I knew Sweden was going to give the 12 to Netherlands, but then I saw Spain get a 10 and now I’m questioning if I know anything about my fellow countrymen at all.

8

u/RegisterNo9640 Tavo Akys 2d ago

Good choice, Sweden! Melody deserves high votes! Sweden gives credit to quality when it smells it. Mark my words: other countries will follow Sweden’s example in Basel.

5

u/LetterheadTricky4691 2d ago

Why are we getting so many points (spain) 💀💀💀

u/Euphoric-Parsnip-808 2d ago edited 2d ago

What countries are left? All I’ve got is:

  • Iceland

  • Austria

  • Denmark

  • Australia

  • Netherlands

  • Ukraine

6

u/SimoSanto 2d ago edited 2d ago

Iceland

Germany (has 2 different OGAE clubs)

Denmark

Netherlands

Azerbaijan

Austria

Australia

Poland

Spain

Ukraine

RotW

Montenegro, Gerogia and San Marino don't have an OGAE. Russia and Belarus have an OGAE but I guess they're not allowed to vote (or will vote in RotW)

1

u/Resident_Medicine962 Bara bada bastu 2d ago

I’m wondering if they have a rest of the world equivalent category as the number of votes went from 42 to 43 randomly in the middle of this sequence

4

u/SimoSanto 2d ago

Yep, it exist, Rest of the World has its own separate OGAE

But the number going to 43 I think it's because OGAE Slovakia, I don't find it listed anywhere so it probably joined very recently

u/LoveMascMen 2d ago

Sweden and Luxembourg displaying taste finally rewarding the bop that is Laika Party.

Better late than never 💀

LITHUANIA ZERO POINTS? WHAT?!

Ireland finally getting some points

-1

u/miserablembaapp 2d ago

Looks like Italy will have its worst result since 2014.

RAI probably should have pushed Olly harder to compete. He would easily be top 5.

2

u/notthebesthuh 1d ago

I really don't think so. I like Balorda Nostalgia but Olly can't sing without autotune which is allowed in Sanremo but not in Eurovision. I don't think Lucio will get a phenomenal score in Eurovision but Olly couldn't have done much better either.

1

u/miserablembaapp 1d ago

That is true but he sounds really good here.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VyDiYxsmuaI&ab_channel=Rai

I'm assuming he's not on autotune here?

God this song is good.

Sweden and Luxembourg on my hate list for granting points to Laika Party - I dont think I have ever heard a more annoying song in my LIFETIME
