We’re in the thick of it now! It is day ten of the annual Eurovision OGAE Poll 2021, with more results coming in from OGAE Malta. They award their douze points to Cyprus’s Elena Tsagrinou who comes in at sixth place overall with 57 points.
In second place with the Maltese club’s 37 voters, with ten points is San Marino’s Senhit and Flo Rida. Picking up bronze with eight points, is France’s Barbara Pravi who closes the gap on Switzerland in the top spot. Though his lead is shortening, Gjon’s Tears still managed to pick up six points and now has 92 points overall.
Steadily climbing their way up, is Israel’s Eden Alene who picked up four points and jumps from 19th to 16th place. Norway’s TIX also picked up a couple of points and hopped one place up to joint 20th place alongside Bulgaria’s Victoria, who also grabbed a point with the Maltese OGAE.

OGAE Poll 2021 leaderboard — 22 April
Though Switzerland is nearly approaching 100 points, Gjon’s Tears’ lead at the summit is slipping. There is now a 17 point difference between him and second-placed France. Leaping onto the podium in third place is Lithuania’s The Roop with 65 points. San Marino climbs to joint fourth alongside Malta who drop down a place. They, of course, could not vote for themselves.

OGAE members are so professional, that they alone should decide, who wins Eurovision. No televote and jury needed.
Yeah I think it was a joke. The “so professionnal” is too much ahahah
The OGAE members have a rather… singular taste. If the were the only ones to decide, the contest would quickly become exclusively Swedish written uptempo songs.
Yeah, I know there several examples to the contrary but the overall leaning of the fandom is towards one particular musical genre, and the competition needs to have a certain level of diversity in order to maintain its broad appeal.
y’all look at the official excel table with all the votes revealed… it also says how many club members voted per country at the top. these ogay clubs are DYING. the maxinum so far has been 73 ppl from germany, the average is 31 fans per country so far. y’all give this ogae poll too much importance lmfao 31 ppl isn’t even a statistically relevant number !!!
Yet 5 ppl is relevant to Eurovision, sad jury crteria
This is true…but completely irrelevant with the esc issue !
It annoys me when artists try to give to a song a deeper meaning that it has.
The song is about giving in to a man that doesnt act right all the time but owns a devilish charm. Where in the song she gets off the relationship? Shes singing the same lyrics at the end. Everyone wants to give to their song a feminist message nowdays… Sing your sexy song and go lolita <3
Wow that’s a real misogynist comment right there ??
Do you know any song worldwide…about a dictator ?…
“I Love Belarus” – Anastasiya Vinnikova 2011. It wasn’t about a dictator but about a dictatorship (which is the same). And the song was chosen by the dictator himself…
Yes I do…but come on, this is a huge hyperbole. We are talking about real situations….
Belarussians vote for this residual decades now…so he doesn’t count as a dictator. Kim, Madouro…are originals….
It’s funny you say this while your name is a song with the most generic lyrics ever. Constantly singing about ending their relationship and because for one line she says “This isn’t our last dance” suddenly the song turns into this uplifting and hopeful message? So would it be enough for you if Elena was saying in the last chorus “I *didn’t* give my heart to el diablo”? Esc fans are so funny sometimes preaching about things they overlook in their faves. Just say you’re salty they got the 12 and go lol.
I didnt say Last Dance is a lyrical masterpiece, but Stefania isnt going around saying it has a feministic message while it doesnt, lol. Not salty at all, I love El Diablo, but for what it is, and not for what Elena and some fans like you make it out to be. Just go lol
Heehee plus 5 points. Sick and tired with supposed messages…
Azer buy jhan 8th ?…Sweden 7th ?..I got the money you got the stuff…
Mercy me…
Why would they bother about a couple of hundred OGAE members? The OGAE votings don’t have any influence on the real thing.
Oh yes they have…cuz these galleries together with bookies trying 15 years now to manipulate the indy taste of each one of us…
They have a 60 %…”sucess guide” aka prediction for their favs
Thanks God there is another 40% of free taste and will…wihout external fake hypes, bying juries, bying televoters…and the rest of the unholy marketing tools.
…there is no need for Swe to buy juries….they are voluntary dedicated…for obvious reasons…
I do research for serious reasons…not obvious ones
Azers…just followed a more ‘aggressive’ direct way as new boys on the down
Is the story of mafia….after 2 generations all look legal and ethical oh yes….
The 1000 times used condom usage of the words black, hate, toxic etc are for fanatics who are unanle to talk. I just don’t like the song….not the country or the singer, or his sge, or his color. Mercy me… I don’t like the esc methods of Swe, but believe me I don’t have any problem to vote for a goodddd Swesong (last time I made it in 2018…vote only for fuego and the amazing Dance you off). Can you live with this Erasmus ? I think yes… Sweden is a producer and an exporter of music worldwide…there is no… Read more »
Cyprus first from Malta, it would have happened sooner or later, but I am quite disappointed by this choice
…Meanwhile Belgium has still 0 points.
So have many other countries zilch
Yes, many other countries would not deserve 0 points, but you can’t compare Belgium with for example Georgia from an objective point of view (and Georgia is even really high in my ranking)
music is not objective.
Yes, music is not objective, but the commitment, complexity and originality involved are.
……..sort of. I see what you are saying, but literally everything about music is subjective.
Ballad doesn’t mean quality, but The Wrong Place is actually a quality piece of music and it is not even a ballad by the way. El Diablo is just a normal dance track, heavily influenced by Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance and with a videoclip copied by Zara Larsson, probably the most overrated one by Eurofans (and that says it all): 0 originality, 0 emotions, 100% manufactured Swedish creation. Fans love to complain about Swedish songs, but the worst ones are the songs Sweden gives to other countries…
I am Belgian and I am not worried about Hooverphonic. This kind of artist and this kind of song really come into their own when they play live. Geike’s professionalism and always excellent interpretation will score a lot of points. On the other hand, other countries that are already seen as qualifiers may be in danger. And I am thinking in particular of Azerbaijan. That said, I am not a music expert. It is not for me to decide who deserves to succeed or not. I’m just implying that if the juries are straight in their boots, they will know… Read more »
Totally agree with your points and I really hope you are right. Good luck from Italy, I hope you will be in top 10 🙂
Funny, I’m rooting for Malta and Italy this year. I would be soooo happy if your country win and it would be deserved after this great decade.
Bulgaria, you in danger gurl
Sorry to Europeans for that comment. This is not actually the picture of Cypriots. They are really kind and respectable. The same goes for Maltese people
Your respect? It exists? Where?
Lol sure! I’m trash! Lol the frustration of this guy is insane.
Lol and now to respond to his uselss provocations is to follow him everywhere…. paranoia….
And please, stop being childish, because you lose any right you had till now to complain
Excuse me? Me I’m childidh and I’m complaining? Wtf
Who is crying here?
Oh sorry wrong reply mate
Ok guy no problem ?
Sorry for the misunderstanding, but Didi the comment was about you actually because you actually keep being rude
And it’s me who is childish and insulting…..
Lol yeah that’s it, you put comments on a public comment section but people are not allowed to read what you write and to react to it without being called psycho stalker or whatever. It’s so easy but assume your comments and the feed back maybe no, it’s more an adult behaviour.
You wouldn’t do that….. WTf….LOL what are you doing here and now ? And I see you answering to people here too so then you’re a psycho too in that case, welcome in the club lol.
Friend, first of all, when a song gets that much hate, means that actually this is a really good one and because someone pathetic supports another good song so much that he spreads hate for the other songs so that he feels that his song is the favourite of everyone. When a song isn’t liked that much, usually they don’t give a damn about that, they ignore it actually. For example, do you see people talking that much about Estonia, Denmark, Spain , Slovenia, Portugal, Austria or North Macedonia? For who they talk about the most? Malta, Switzerland, France, Malta,… Read more »
Netta always had the best song of the year, and that was obvious in both jury and televote results (apart from the semi results, when Eleni surprised all of us with her performance). Fuego as a song is kinda cheesy and Eleni has many many better songs than this one on her alumini. She only finished 2nd because she transformed with her performance an average song to an Eurovision anthem
Well, actually I’m Greek and after the reveal of the results I was completely against “Toy”, but guess what. I hear this many more times than Fuego, while there are at least 5 songs from Eleni which I prefer much more than Fuego
Fuego is a LEGEND for ever and ever and beyond…!!!!! my fellow Greek friend.
Well said.i admire you for your very reasonable comments. My vote is for the countries that never won the contest .
Devils advocate….
You commented in the precedent article and said that you live in the Uk so the Germans and Swiss want to immigrate in the Uk when they are old !? Are you sure !? For the weather and the food?! Really?
Well, as I understood he is a Cypriot who lives right now in the UK (something usual, because Commonwealth, you know) and he talks because some people (not that much as he says) decide to move to a Mediterranean country while they’re too old to work anymore so that they live peacefully near the sea
Ok…..if he wants, I don’t know what it has to do in a song contest…
Lol and he calls him “more balanced” ….
You are everywhere with your bad spirit, so I don’t need to follow you to see it. I have a good and better life without you don’t be afraid, I don’t need mean and negative persons.
Meanwhile this is how INFE votes :
The votes from INFE Ireland are:
Switzerland – 12 points
Estonia – 10 points
Greece – 8 points
Denmark – 7 points
Poland – 6 points
France – 5 points
Lithuania – 4 points
Cyprus – 3 points
Norway – 2 points
Spain – 1 point
The votes from INFE North Macedonia are:
Bulgaria – 12 points
Greece – 10 points
Norway – 8 points
Denmark – 7 points
Switzerland – 6 points
Finland – 5 points
Ireland – 4 points
France – 3 points
Italy – 2 points
Croatia – 1 point
What’s INFE?
INFE is also a fan consortium just like OGAE . However they are more present in southern / Eastern Europe with headquarters at Greece and have lesser presence in the Western Europe
OGAE is essentially the opposite
Georgia Australia and Cyprus have given their votes in the INFE poll too so far.
Someone posted Georgian and Cypriot votes in one of the previous articles ! I haven’t seen the Australian results myself either
INFE (whoever they are) sound like they actually have a bit of class in fairness to them.
Their votes are not so ridiculously predictable and homogeneous.
They don’t have an open…line with bookies
…and this explains a lot the silence about infe…and the noise about ogaeoeo
Wow Italy ZERO from MALTA?!
It happens with San Marino too….in real scores
Heavy Metal is really not a popular genre here in Malta so I m not surprised.
There is no way Malta is not gonna give a single point to Italy in May though, they always do xD
Cyprus is my last place. Dont support plagiarism songs and music videos.
It’s fine if you dislike people being inspired by other works but if only esc fans could stop tossing around the word ‘plagiarism’ so often and baselessly, that would be great.
How about your behaviour and words here? Double standard again and again…..typical
You’re too sensitive it seems then….
You’re very clever sure! I’ ve not even talked about Cyprus or Switzerland or about my preferences, so yeah lol if you want again…
I don’t vote for Swiss or Italy…and surely a lot of songs have copy issues….bad I want to say that esc addict is a gentle and passionate guy. I missunderstood him in the beginning too…but now I really enjoy his passion for Voila.
Thank you man but not only for Voilà, but for Russian woman, for the Dark side, for el Diablo, for Adrenalina, for Discoteque, for Destiny and for Embers.
Dislike me as you want at this point it’s a compliment.
Girl please…
I like the 4 last after my top 2 (Iceland-Denmark)
I feel your pain
It is called Pharisaism….and totally agree wiyh you my fellow French lover. I don’t want either selfinvited policemen and policewomen nowhere in the free web.
Gentle, passionate, fellow french lover, it’s a lot no, but even if it’s ironical I appreciate you mr Kas.
Ofcourse I mean it…you fool. You’ve a level…even when you piss off and I really appreciate this
I don’t see the comparison to Bad Romance and El Diablo only that they’re both pop-dance tracks, and I’m pretty sure Lady Gaga can’t claim the whole pop-dance genre for herself, she’s iconic but there’s a line lol ?
Sure they’re not reinventing the wheel in Cyprus but the whole plagiarism thing is a joke. It’s just a little summer bop, enjoy it for what it is.
True! And I don’t remember such a furore when the Russian entry in 2011, where Red One was involved, sounded very similar to Gaga’s Just Dance. People were probably distracted by the extremely hot singer to notice.
Here listen carefully then- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLCYmTIpsW8 My problem is that, if such songs get better results than the more risky and original songs why would anyone try to be creative when they can just copy already successful songs with few tweeks? Is this the future you all want for the music?
Hahahah you sound like these ones holding the crosses outside the national television building.. Tragic..!!!
If your favorite country got no or a very few points dont’t worry, in 2017 the OGAE gave 0 points to the Sunstroke Project. Moldova finished 3rd for the televote and 3rd in the final ranking 🙂
I love Sunstroke Project but I think it shows how unpredictable the public can be!
WHERE’S BELGIUM!?
I also want Ireland and Moldova in there… :'(
Belgium is a classy act, of course OGAE is blanking it
Interesting to see some variety in the voting. El Diablo sounds uncannily similar to a Lady Gaga song to me.
Sounding similar to Lady Gaga is basically a compliment
Interesting voting with absolute no relevance to the actual results.
Having Norway, Azerbaijan higher than Bulgaria, Italy, Australia, Ireland and UK is an absolute crime.
I’m starting to see why many here laughed at me when I was wondering about OGAE a few weeks ago, I totally see your point of view and I’m laughing at myself now too.
Higher than Australia isn’t a crime, because Montaigne can’t sing. If she was a good singer, I would’ve 100% agreed with you tho.
Half of those leading the OGAE poll haven’t given us a live performance yet, so I don’t buy that as an excuse.
Don’t get the hype around Cyprus. So overrated
You must be a Head & Shoulders user to get it.
it is a good produced pop song
If Sweden sent it, it would receive a lot of hate by “the general eurofan”
People use Sweden to prove something like “if Sweden sent this everyone would love this” etc so it really makes you think esc fans like you need to kindly wake up. El Diablo has so many haters someone would get downvoted -10 for saying something like “I like this song”. Get a grip.
Look at the Eurovision Scoreboard app and wake up, my friend XD
But Elena does not look like she has dandruff?
Azerbaijan is going to do so well by the juries. Mark my words.. some of you want her to do bad but it’s not going to happen. Azerbaijan is that female ethnic bop that has the full package. It’s different and outstanding.
Hm don’t get Switzerland song :/
What an original comment.
Cyprus 12 points! My God….
Euh.. NOPE !!!!
Haha Malta’s OGAE not giving 12 points to Malta’s main competitors in the odds… Only a question of taste of course !
France and switzerland, their main competitors still got 8 and 6 points.
And ?
Do I owe a vote to France and switzerland just because the odds love them?
No but the odds reflects the popularity of the songs so you would imagine that the songs closer to the top would get the most points. Its like in 2017 when everyone was sneering that the jurors in Bulgaria, Italy and Portugal avoided giving substantial points to each other in the 2017 final as it hinted at a reluctance of allowing the others to have the advantage of going ahead and having a better chance of winning. Obviously people have different tastes but it can look “suspicious” in a way when they avoid giving the main points to their biggest… Read more »
Italian juries DID give points to Kristian and Salvador back in 2017, Bulgaria and Portugese juries were the “suspicious” ones
They didn’t give 12,10 or 8 points though, that was the point.
Italian juries just have very weird taste, they always reward songs on right side of the scoreboard, regardless of Italy’s chance of winning, they are just em… strange
With your argument Malta should be leading in ogae results.
Chill dude… Do you realize that you are trying to argue regarding a comment about Malta’s OGAE jury votes…? Go out and enjoy life!
Great taste! Must be the same people who gave Love Shine A Light just the one point back in 1997!
We all know Malta will give top marks to Italy both in the jury and televote
2011 – 10 points
2012 – 10
2013 – 8
2014 – 12
2015 – 12
2016 – Jury: 8 / Televote: 7
2017 – 12 / 12
2018 – 10 / 12
2019 – 12 / 12
Goodbye OGAE Malta relevance in predicting the correct outcome…
So than it would be the right decision!!! Italy deserve it, especially this year !!
The televoters will SURELY give 12 points to Italy, but the juries? I don’t think so. I believe the juries all over Europe will destroy Italy, just like what they did in Hungary in 2018
Glad that Cyprus got their first 12 point, also glad that also Bulgaria keep getting points. I also hope that Romania willl get more points and Belgium will get their first points.
Well done Elena
come on, Australia, uk, and Ireland
Is Azerbaijan the new OGAE fanwank of the season? It’s so overrated!
I think it might be San Marino… the vocals from yesterday’s concert were not good at all 🙁 so sad because I LOVE the song
It’s good
Having Norway higher than Italy? Is that even Malta?
Fair point, it seems like mostly pop and bangers appeal to Malta. Interesting
I believe that Italian live performance will upgrade people attention & they will like it, coz Måneskin deserve it !!!
