OGAE Finland: 12 more points to Sweden

Twelve more points go from Finland this time to Sweden, in the 2008 OGAE Poll. Close behind follows Iceland receiving the Finnish 10 points, followed by Ukraine. With 27 OGAE juries votes in the scoreboard not much has changed overall and we still have eleven countries which has not received a single point.

There is just no stopping Sweden as far as the fan voting is concerned with another twelve points awarded by the Finnish branch of OGAE. Iceland has gone up one spot, topping Norway and so has Turkey.

This is how the Finnish fans voted in the OGAE Poll:

12 Sweden    (500)
10 Iceland    (379)
8 Ukraine    (318)
7 Norway    (273)
6 Turkey    (271)
5 Switzerland    (263)
4 Slovenia    (260)
3 Russia    (238)
2 Armenia    (224)
1 Azerbaijan    (210)

Just missing out:
Serbia    203
Albania    199
Portugal    184

Interesting... Finnish OGAE doesn't usually award high points to Sweden, does it? And I'm surprised that Azerbaijan is so low. But this is OGAE, and it'll probably get votes from the public (if the performance is good). :)

They seem not to accept that!

@ Hero said:

"Not long ago jonny k asked for my email to be friend and I did not accept the offer, sorry, I am not gay, I have no chance of knowing what gay is since I don't have hormones to like men"

Man, you are SO PATHETIC. You didn't let him know your email because 'you are not gay'? What does it have to do? You won't ever reveal your email, because you know your account will be instantly collapsed by thousands or messages, from all the people that cannot stand you. You don't have a profile here for the very same reason. You don't show anything about your identity, you act from the shadows. Who the hell you are? You are a coward, you don't have the guts to show who you are. I take your comments as pure nonsense from a nobody.

@ Union Jack:
OGAE clubs are made of ESC-fans. It's same fans that vote on every poll. That's why we will get the same result in every poll. But think on the millions of viewers that have not heard the songs yet. That people does not take part in polls or forums, and it's that people who will decide the winner, not the fans. In my opinion, the Swedish entry will not grab everybody's attention. The best songs are in semi 2, and Sweden has only two 12's guaranteed: the ones from Iceland and Denmark. The rest is quite unpredictible, but I am afraid Latvia, Turkey, Lithuania, Belarus and Georgia will cast the top marks to Ukraine. It's possible Czech Republic, Macedonia and Croatia will vote for Ukraine as well. So, the panorama for Sweden is not that clear. Quality wise, many other songs are fairly superior than Sweden, too.

To be honest I think Hero is a good song but I doubt if it is good enough.

It can be (actually I'm rather sure) that in these ESC club votings Charlotte's song got some points from many people. But then in the real ESC voting a clear majority of them will vote for their top song (S) only. Unfortunately Hero won't be among these songs.

Sorry, Sweden! Why didn't you choose Ola ;-)?

Ughh I really don't like Hero and the whole performance. But luckily these polls only tell what the really active ESC fans think, the actual voting result will probably be quite different.

Charlotte is beautiful, gorgeous I can be her slave and she is also a "Hero" a former winner of ESC and is ready to rock the stage once again. :D :D :D

Union Jack

He is granny jonny who got Sweden as her joinf favourite as even recorded in her profile called Jonny K, he hates Charlotte because charlotte is sexy and can have sexy men like her while granny is frustrated and can't find anyone, he asked for my email address and wanted to be a friend but I refused the offer as i am not interested and I won't put my life in misery, hehehe :D :D :D :D

so now you got this information relax and don't bother with granny. :D :D :D

John, you know what? f*ck off!!

If anyone is displaying a fear of reality, it is you and you're displaying it in the most pathetic way. You're arguing with Hero like a little boy over the Eurovision Song Contest, just goes to show your level of mentality, really.

The reality is, Sweden is the clear favourite to win ESC 2008 by a mile in Every poll. If you don't like that then that is your tough sh*t.


John Smith [47209]
Wed 7 May 2008 13:08:36

@ Union Jack

If you don't like the reality then you should go!

Do know what is the performance like? So do not just judge only audio! See the performance first and then judge for your self! (I mean May 22nd!)


Union Jack [44348]
Wed 7 May 2008 13:08:19

To be honest though John, I would agree with Hero in that I think Sweden is the only song that deserves to win this year...maybe Germany and Iceland in the race too

@ Hero

You are the one is emotionally distressed! Does not understand ESC! Thinks a song has a chance of qulifing when its song number 2!

Also he thinks 1% of voters can preduce the winner and does not think about the other 99%! Also he is obessed about Charlotte! (maybe he fances her!). He also thinks polls are the out come of ESC 2008! ;)


Union Jack [44348]

Well John, I would say that you're taking "reality" a bit over the top.

Look, 19 songs in Semi 2, and 10 of 19 songs will qualify. Sweden is the almighty favourite, you do the maths.

In OGAE, The UK, Turkey, Serbia, Malta and Lithuania al offered 12 to Sweden and all these countries are in Semi 2. If that was really the voting pattern and considering the other OGAE countries in Semi 2 haven't yet voted, I think it is looking good for Sweden.

Considering 10 out of 19 countries are going through and Sweden's performance is so strong, I would say the chances are pretty high for Sweden to at least reach the final.

Like I said previously, I'd be worried for Sweden if it was 5 to qualify out of 19 but the fact that it is 10...it boosts their chances considerably, especially when the majority of the better songs in the Semis are all in Semi 1...


Hero . [45093]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:59:17

oh and another JOHN, ooops.

Not long ago jonny k asked for my email to be friend and I did not accept the offer, sorry, I am not gay, I have no chance of knowing what gay is since I don't have hormones to like men, oh well, maybe in next life I come back to this world again but its not guaranteed what I might be then, meanwhile lonely john can continue to attack me, she seem to be so interested in Turkish men. But no chnace


Hero . [45093]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:54:09

Anyway, good luck to all contestant especially to a "Hero" of Sweden to win ESC with 99.9% chance, every polls got Sweden in the lead and they predict "Hero" a winner and not just me. :D :D :D

Why don't you two exchange email addresses?


Hero . [45093]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:51:46

Why don't you go and ask moderators and tell them to give you an evidence to prove that I am no way zingo star, out comments are comming from different IP and perhaps different countries, surely esctoday knows so its up to you to fullfill your emty life with fake dreams because then you can only convince yourself to believe even without proof of evidence, good luck. jonny k john smith etc.... :D :D :D :D :D


Hero . [45093]

I am being realistic here????

Same comment came from user called Jonny K before. Its all clear granny Jonny K is another account of John Smith

What gives you right to attack so many people and polls predict Sweden win ESC 2008? Do you own everybody's life!

The sad and frustrated granny can't keep quiet and rest her case. SAD for you.


John Smith [47209]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:46:23

@ Hero

If I am Jonny K, thats means you are Zingo Star! :P :P


John Smith [47209]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:43:33

I have not got a problem. Why does every one thinks Sweden will qualify with Iceland and Denmark in semi 2 and its song 2 of 19. I am being realistic here. Sweden stands a better chance of qualifing if they are not drawn 2nd in semi 2!

I do want Sweden to win, but I raely dout it!
I beening realistic here!


Hero . [45093]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:43:28

Union Jack

He is jonny k plus many more accounts and thinks everyone is like him, he is emotionally distressed and continue to attack.

Is he any better than Charlotte and her song! At least we heard of Charlotte the former winner of ESC, who is that abuser user on ectoday! let him fool about lol :) :) :)


Union Jack [44348]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:31:02

John, I don't know what your problem is but Sweden is by far the clear favourite in every poll, not just OGAE.

Who do you want to win as a matter of interest?


John Smith [47209]
Wed 7 May 2008 12:23:08

@ Hero (Zingo star)
