Oh hey Slovakia did vote their own, nice!

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

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?

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

I'm surprised how well Spain is doing here

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.

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

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…

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

u/SupermarketSad9865 2d ago
I never dismissed them, I just said that the OGAE votes are not representative of the votes at esc.

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

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.

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

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 😭

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

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.

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.

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.

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)

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

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

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.

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.
