OGAE Voting

[cassio]

I think that Denmark is one of the most likely countries to win this year, so if you are going for a winner this year Denmark is a god bet

 

[esc87fan]

Doesn't the OGAE have a Nordic bias? They picked Nordic countries to win in the last few years and only got 2 winners right

 

[Trece]

Denmark received 1 point less than Sweden in the OGAE last year !

Last year voted only 32 countries, now 39

31 x 12 = 372

39 votes that must be because Denmark is the fave.......

31 x 12 = 372

Last scoreboard from 2012, don't know what country missed since here 363 and official site says 375

OGAE 2012 results: Sweden wins by a mile! | ESC Fusion here also 363
OGAE - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and on wiki says that Iceland was 2nd, not 3rd

^ I'm also countin' 34 juries there. This way it mathematically makes sense at least.

372 in ESC, check Hungary 2011 (winner of OGAE) result

After all Denmark got 18 12s from 39 and Sweden 26 from 35

Can't overly compare year on year though because different songs!

Indeed, and this year is a lot weaker than 2012 was.

Indeed, and this year is a lot weaker than 2012 was.

Which means the winner is much less predictable. "Only Teardrops" is only a favourite because nothing really exciting came up after it; if you check the reactions when Emmelie won, they were mildly positive, that's all. At the time, one was allowed to expect something much better to come up. It turns out that 2013 is a relatively weak year (although I do like the quality of the songs overall), and those are usually the ones where surprises can occur. Rybak and Loreen were guaranteed winners. Emmelie de Forest? Not at all.

Oh feel I Emmelie will repeat Kary Wolf and Charlotte Perelli

Not nearly that bad TBH. Still ''just'' a top 10 result IMO.

Easy now Trece, a charlotte/kary flop is a result out of top 10..... Emmelie will end up in top 5

I know.... but still its only one point below Sweden.... isn't it going to be exciting to see if OGAE will get 4 out of 7 votings correct if their taste this year is just another fanboy flop
