After the results of OGAE Armenia were released late last week, the bookies’ favourite Duncan Laurence from The Netherlands saw himself atop the leaderboard just ahead of Italy’s Mahmood.
But with two more clubs — that’s OGAE France and OGAE Albania — releasing their points, the tables have now turned.
The Netherlands gets 12 points from Albania, marking its second set of douze points following Armenia’s gift last week.
OGAE Albania also gave 10 points to Italy and 8 points to Switzerland’s Luca Hänni.

Over in France it was a different story. The OGAE club hands its top points to Italy…but only gives The Netherlands seven points.
They preferred both Swiss act Luca and Norwegian group KEiiNO to Duncan.

Sweden is doing amazing. So glad that they are in the top five, they really deserve it.
Don’t understand the fans that are bashing Sweden, since they are the only country that takes the ESC seriously, the other countries (including my own) don’t take Eurovision seriously. Plus, Sweden always has high quality and good performances.
12 points from Germany goes to Sweden
“Soldi” looks like the OGAE fanwank of the year, like “Mercy” last year. With a known bad NF live to boot, just like “Mercy”.
Bad live? Seriously? Watch this: https://vimeo.com/327027168
where is armenia ???
Netherlands for the win!
is there an ogae spreadsheet to keep track of the voting like in the past years ? if so can someone link it please ?
omg the ogays are cursing italy again
Italy – boring, Switzerland – boring, Iceland – boring, maybe Russia, maybe The Netherlands, maybe Cyprus,
If Iceland is boring, then nothing is interesting.
Iceland passes Sweden in betting odds and is now 4th favourite to win.
Byt The arena not gonna Winn anyway
but we need the juries to vote for them
They still not winning though..
French have no good music taste then, shame on them giving King Duncan just 7 points BOOO BOOOO
Do your parents love you?
that the audience did not call for “soldi” was seen in san remo. and “arcade” bores many people.I am very sure. switzerland wins
here in italy at sanremo ppl vote for the artist rather than the song n mahmood was an unknown name with 10k followers before the final so idk what you’re tryna prove
So are the Eurovision bosses though – hi Jon, hi Christer
OGAE Poll doesn’t really give any hint about what the actual results will be in May. They often have songs in their top 10 which don’t even make it to the final… Last year 2 of their top 10 didn’t advance. Like odds, it’s fun to follow though.
Italy in the1 place, its awful. Italy dosnt have a good song since GENTE DI MARE in the 80s. Itsly is AWFUL this year again
Don’t be bitter Sergey
Soldi is a great bop
Italy is one of the few countries that very rarely disapoints. They have the best national selection and some of the best artists in the continent.
I wouldn’t be surprised (even though I clearly expect Amsterdam 2020) to see Rome or Milan 2020
I completely disagree with what you said, but it’s nice to see that Gente di Mare is still remembered! Such a good song
yes, soldi is awful rap noise with annoying repetitve chorus, and Italy is awful since 2015
What is Sweden doing in TOP 5?
Couldn’t agree more. Sound like a commercial for a dating website for the over 60s
That is the most truthful thing ever spoken by Alastair Campbell.
lmao
Bet you love it when they actually end up top 5 then…
…because of juries, yes, we know.
Why say the Netherlands “only” received 7 points from France? That means it was the 4th favourite song out of 41! I mean, of course, the Netherlands is good but it is not that shocking that some people consider three songs to be better lol.
There’s a bit of a campaign in the media to promote Russia by discrediting
Netherlands. It’s very political.
Right, if someone’s not blown away by Arcade and Duncan’s butt it’s surely because of politics
F*ck y** .. Russian idiot
bc Arcade is the best song this year, and france only gives it 7 points
everyone must love arcade
except those who fell asleep. approx. 50%
I think I am going to release my own poll. Vote for your favourite “complaining comment” on this post. 🙂 Just kidding, I won’t be that needlessly cruel. But my thumbs up goes to “Atari 2600” for actually providing a useful statistic to support the complaint (scroll down; it’s at the bottom). Impressive.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OGAE
We know OGAE doesn’t mean anything, it’s just a funny thing people like to do before the contest. Also you have to take into account that way more people vote for their favorite songs during the semis and final than in here.
For example, only 34 people voted in the OGAE Armenia vote and only 10 in the OGAE Albania vote. There will be much more votes in May.
I mean, let’s think about this: 10 to Italy, sure, but only 2 for Greece and 1 for North Macedonia? If I know that Albanian televote, by golly, those numbers will be different when the shows come around. (Although the Albanian televote didn’t show NM much love last year).
NM didnt advance…
So so far OGAE has the same favourites as the polls, except for Russia which seems to struggle? Are we sure it’s not the actual polls we are watching:)
It’s fun of course. However half of the OGAE top 10 won’t reach it. Switzerland won’t reach top 5. Italy will be OGAE favourite but once again not win. I can see it reach top 5 however. And Russia will probably be top 5. Netherlands, Sweden will be top 5 to..
.
Best comment ever.
Surprised Serbia is not on list….I think its a very underrated song.
10 points overall for Sweden? And no points for ebu’s pet Australia? Don’t make uncle Bjorkman sad
Aren’t you precious? Not!
Greece zero points? I am a bit surprised as it’s quite a “western” song and would think the UK/France etc would like it. (even if it’s only an OGAE vote)
French Televote almost never vote for the most “Western songs” at Esc tho.
2015: 2 points to Heroes / 12 to Grande Amore
2016: 0 to Sound of Silence / 10 to 1944
2017: 4 to Beautiful Mess / 12 to Amar Pelos Dois
2018: 0 to Nobody but You and Dance You Off / 12 to Toy and 10 to Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente
– Exception may be Belgium when they gave 8 to Rhythm Inside and City Lights but I can’t blame them 🙂
That’s a proper analysis! And I suppose the numbers never lie.
Rhythm Inside is a very moody kind of song, so I feel like it fits with the stereotypical “French aesthetic.” The French jury and televotes are always so enjoyably at odds – the televote goes for the weirder stuff and the jury goes for the more conventional stuff. (Save for the 12’s – they’ve been unanimous on the last two songs they gave 12 to, and rightfully so).
@Joe: Excatly. French juries are very vanilla, while the televote is more open to fun/unusual/ethnic entries, in languages other than English.
Glad to see Iceland gettig their first points. 🙂
French have a very “uncommon” relation with the English language. Btw I think they choose really well actually!
On the nights of the contest, Portugal will certainly get points from the French televote. 🙂
Greece is awful though. Sounds like burping or a bad Jess gylnne impersonator
Thank you to all #Cyprus #Replay!!! See you all on Stage. 12points – Douze points
I would have been worried instead. Last year OGAE France didn’t even put Cyprus as a qualifier and finished 26th overall.
Are we watching betting odds voting or ogae so predictible
Just noticed, are OGAE France sexists ? Only one solo women and at 9th place.
Or solo female acts are just not very good this year.
Of course Albania gave zero to Serbia. Ridiculous.
Everyone gave zero to Serbia tho, stop whining…
It’s not that weird? I imagine most countries will give 0 to Serbia…
oh look…there are SO many good songs this year…
Italy is awful again like every yera since 2015 and again overrated
honey bunny, not at all. this time Italy has got a real good singer and artist. I would rather say the best one of this year’s esc…. his album is great and his voice is just beautiful. his music is so modern….
Italy=Sweden, always overrated no matter what.
Italy = Sweden, always get a lot of hype
Only difference is that Italy actually deserves it.
….and I will continue to love Mahmood’s music even if he will not win…. I like his voice… greetings from Germany
Gabbani was a fun act with smart lyrics, last year’s song was very well sang by two top singers with an important message. This year’s entry I find it interesting but is being totally overrated. His nasal voice is super annoying along with the chorus ‘soldi soldi’… And I think there are other options out there both musically and lyrically better. So this year, for a change, I won’t be voting for Italy…
and again children without taste in music, who are using spotify 24/7 giving dislike to the proper opinion. Mahmood can’t sing and can’t perform, he is one of the worse ones. It’s eurovision, nobody cares about other songs of artists and his voice is like dying cammel. It is modern only in a bad way.
Just an incident. OGAE are so predictable that if it were some betting odds on their winner I would bet 10,000 € on the Netherlands without any fear.
well Armeni is so f underrated
no srbuk is awful
it’s not better than last years bop Qami, Sevak got robbed big time
These polls are completely meaningless,the right deal is in May
Slovenia is on the twelfth place? I’m so happy to see that them not underrated.
And we should be happy not on their top 10 because we can be sure that at least half of it will not be on the final top 10 in may. That’s why I tell them to slow down on Portugal please.
Duncan and Mahmood are actually my top 2, so I’m really concerned, because everybody always says how these OGAE polls never predict the outcome lmao. But can this please happen this year? I really want one of them to win (or Hatari).
Duncan, Mahmood and Hatari are all in my current top 5 too. I’d gladly take any of them winning. My favorites usually never win, though, so I’m worried.
Same, but in 2017 my top 2 were Portugal and Bulgaria… I think you can imagine how happy I was after the contest.
We will see them on stage.. The final outcome will set up at rehearsals. Cyprus will impress again
Well, let’s see. Last year, Israel won the poll. They got that one more than right. Then France in second and Finland third – less on the money. Overall, they guessed almost half of the top ten (Israel first, Czech Republic fifth, Cyprus ninth, and Denmark tenth). Greece and Belgium, who finished eighth and seventh respectively, didn’t even qualify. Most of the songs they ranked low didn’t do much at the contest either (save for Moldova, who they only gave two points) but they also guessed wrong on four songs they gave nothing but qualified anyway (Netherlands, Hungary, Slovenia, and… Read more »
And besides ranking Moldova low, the remainder of the top ten got close to theirs. So, brilliant? No. But not super-duper off the money.
Mahmood or Duncan would be a prefect winner for me, they both outstanding artists and so cool dudes 🙂
People shouldn’t take these polls too seriously. 6 of the 10 countries in the top 10 of the OGAE poll last year failed to place in the top 10 (2 of which didn’t even qualify).
