In second place with the club of 113 voters is Malta’s Destiny. The bookies’ favourite picks up ten more points. Meanwhile, the current poll leader Switzerland’s Gjon’s Tears picks up eight points.

Lithuania and San Marino round out the top five, while Ukraine pushes Croatia out of the top ten. But with many more OGAE clubs yet to deliver their votes, it’s still all to play for.

What do you think? Will anybody overtake Switzerland? Let us know in the comments below.
I think I agree with Australian votes except that I moved Malta to #4.
its been 6 years, get over it
ok
Ahhh my faves got 12 points from Australia! Awesome! Go The Roop boys! <3
Back to school…run run!
Ireland coming up there on the rails !!!?
Cyprus lmao Cyprus is very much in Europe. the only two countries not in Europe are Israel and Australia. the caucasus and Kazakhstan are also in Europe
Kazakhstan is not in Europe.
Who cares?
Australians=taste
Well, kind of, at least
Lol
-Jamala: “Is Australia, Europe or Oceania?”
-EBU: “Europe, of course!”
To quote Graham Norton, “we use the term ‘European’ very loosely.”
Finally a country with taste.
Totally ! 🙂
You’re happy with that voting only when Lithuania is getting 12 points but bashes the others that are voting for other countries ? Bias and hypocrisy at its finest.
Ellen, you’re cancelled.
Already said by two other people here. Tell me something new now… and not biased this time
You might think OGAE is silly but they aren’t to far off. Yes it’s fan-clubs voting for what they like, nothing more, but it gives a hint to which songs are favourites. And they usually never are to far off. Three time their winner was the eventual winner and most of the years the winner is found in the OGAE top 5, while the OGAE winner usually ends up doing well too.
Only exception was 2008 and 2011 where the winners wasn’t in top 10 but those years were weird..
Australia OGAE is usually very similar to the actual televote.
Just reading through the comments, and I just wanted to point out that Australia might be the only country in Eurovision that votes “independently” so to say – and for obvious reasons, because newsflash, they have no neighbors in Eurovision! A quick look through the results of their juries and public since 2015 shows this. I mean, sure the Australian jury awarded Sweden 12 points in 2015, 2018, and 2019 but they blanked/gave next to no points to Sweden in 2016 and 2017 so it’s impossible to point out jury-bias here because they actually didn’t vote for Sweden. Also, they… Read more »
If a national jury supports the Swedish entry it’s bias ? I honestly don’t get the point of all the backlash the country is getting every year. It’s incredible. Sounds like a lot of people want Sweden to fail at Eurovision just for their very own little pleasure. I don’t get people like that.
Trust me, I’m one of those defending Sweden and juries in Eurovision. I think people get carried away too much some times
Really ? Doesn’t seem like you’re defending it over there. Like not at all.
If the last Swedish acts were carried away by the previous juries, don’t you think that it was simply because they were professional from head to toe, from A to Z ? Most of the juries are professionals of the mudic industry and aren’t familiar with the contest. Every eurofan knows that the Swedish entries abd performances are professional, (often too) polished etc. And that’s what is served to us every year. But it’s not the same thing for the juries, that are new annually.
Here’s how you defend Sweden
lmao, read my post and my statement.
This is not meant as hate, but can someone explain why people gravitate towards Lithuania, I have trouble seeing it. The lyrics are not very creative and the dance… I guess its a happy song but Id rather see another bop receive the same praise. On Fire was really good, and its a shame Eurovision got cancelled but that should not guarantee that they’re favorites again.
Is there a rule at OGAE that the country leading (manipulating for this year) the odds should be in their top 3 ?
Yaaassss!! Go Lithuania <3
Nice top for once
Ukraine in top 10, no way
Seems like Australian audience (in general and the OGAE membersl) does appreciate entries with techno elements. Giving 10 points to Hatari in 2019 and now the douze-points to Lithuania and 7 points to Ukraine is not a coincidence.
Kinda surprised with Sweden missing out top 10 from Down Under. Even Benjamin Ingrosso received 3 points back in 2018 (and we all know how it ended for him).
Frans got 0 points from Australian public back in 2016
Frans also didnt get any points from the Australian jury in Melodifestivalen 2016. Nor in ESC. But we all know what happened…
Does OGAE reveal the full results? Cause I’m curious about many countries with great songs that get Very few points
It’s obvious which 6 countries OGAE overhypes this year. The others are lucky to get any points here, so at the end we should stop giving attention to a rigged poll like this one.
So because you disagree with, it’s rigged?
Not rigged, but definitely really “let’s fit in to the odds”.
I’m sure Lithuania will get 12 points from Australia in actual ESC also
From the televote probably but the Aussie juries always go Sweden.
They did give 12 points to the UK in 2017 though.
Fair point actually! Forgot about that. Think that was the only time that they deviated from the status quo though lol
Not the only one. 2016. Zero points to Sweden (both juries and televoting, 23rd and 20th respectively), 4 points to the UK (both juries and televoting), 12 points to Belgium (both juries and televoting). An exceptional match!
Happy to see Ukraine and Lithuania here. They worth doing well.
Lithuania? Are we still doing the Vitas meme?
Vitas’ career is over Dear…maybe in China….The Roop does not need to do a meme of a singer he doesn’t appreciate at all…
Well yeah, I dont disagree, of course his career is over, after all that “quirky” product that Lithuania tries to serve is literally so 2016.
Who is Vitas again?
Go leslie !!!
I’m a little surprised that the UK didn’t get anything.
I think San Marino will do much worse than expected juries won’t like it all especially because it will have tacky staging – there is no way it will get top 10. I actually think it will finish around where Serhat finished.
Speak for yourself
They did. They said “I think.” Twice.
thank you:)
Indeed, but the same is for Ukraine and Cyprus, I think.
well, I will not get mad if Swizzie wins, but I just prefer a more-upbeat song to win (Malta maybe, or the Lithies, or San Marino?).
*
P.S. sorry if I use too many diminutives.
It’s hard to determine what will win and do well with televote this year. With restrictions, people will not be watching at parties, events, pubs etc and more likely to be at home watching on tv. In these cases, the buzz and energy will not connect as much as if you are enjoying the contest with friends. The energy of the audience will not show through either as there’s no big live audience. Also this year with the live streaming of Glastonbury on the same night, the casual audience may not be engaged as past years. Whatever happens, it will… Read more »
Hell yes.
Thank you Australia for the other point. Nice to see Ukraine getting deserved recognition too.
You’re Irish or a fan ?
Both lol
Aargh ! Then you are no use. I need people in semi 1 who can actually vote for Ireland 🙁
I’m doing the same lol harassing my family in Australia to vote for us in semi 1, and to tell their friends lol
as an Australian, dont worry I will be voting for Lesley on the night. lets hope u guys vote for Montaigne lmao
Montaigne will definitely be getting my vote, love that song.
tasteeee
I try, I try lmao
There won’t be any legitimacy to Lesley’s vote if you harrass your family for voting Ireland. They have to vote for her only because they love her song but also because they will love her future performance in Rotterdam, not because she’s Irish or cause you’re begging them to do it. Otherwise it would be a diaspora voting, and Lesley’s vote would have no value. I hope that it’s not what you want ?
Yeah Ellen I’m THAT powerful that I can influence the votes of an entire country.
That’s not what I meant and highlighted. But nvm, that wasn’t important anyway.
Do you think I threatened my family with death if they didn’t vote for Ireland or something? It was clearly a joke. Said it to them anecdotally. But whatever…..
Can’t have any confirmation… but whatever.
I don’t think Lesley would be happy to know she’s receiving votes only because she’s Irish or because people were told to vote for her. She deserves better than that.
Yes because that doesn’t happen in Eurovision does it Ellen?
It’s something she’s actively encouraged (anecdotally) too.
I know you’re well aware of that, but just don’t do that — if you had the will to do it. Lesley sounds like a lovely person that is really passionate about flying the flag for Ireland and represent it at the contest, she deserves to receive fair and true votes in May. That’s all I have to say.
