8th jury declares

OGAE Lithuania: Sweden 12 points (again)

OGAE Lithuania are the eighth country to declare their official fan club votes for the 2008 Eurovision Song Contest. Whilst there is still a long way to go, they have awarded 12 points to Sweden, the sixth top mark out of eight for Charlotte Perrelli with her entry, Hero.

In what seems to be becoming the clear and overwhelming fan view, Sweden are once again top of the pile, ahead of Ani Lorak for Ukraine in second place according to the Lithuanian fans. Dima Bilan gets a big 8 points to more than double the Russian vote and Norway, Armenia and Iceland once again score steadily in fourth, fifth and sixth place respectively. Bulgaria score points for a second successive jury after sitting on nil points for the first six rounds, and Belarus pick up their first point of the year.

  • 12 points Sweden
  • 10 points Ukraine
  • 8 points Russia
  • 7 points Norway
  • 6 points Armenia
  • 5 points Iceland
  • 4 points Portugal
  • 3 points Israel
  • 2 points Bulgaria
  • 1 point Belarus

With everything still to play for, Sweden's lead after eight declared juries is looking incredibly strong, Charlotte Perrelli is scoring top marks from all over the continent with the Official fan club members. It now stands at 38 points after Switzerland failed to score any points from Lithuania. Armenia remain third, but have closed the gap to just two points. Ukraine's 10 points lifts Ani Lorak to fourth place, and Norway move up to share fifth place with Serbia.

    3.- Sweden - 200 pts
    4.- Russia - 149 pts
    5.- Greece - 148 pts
    6.- Ireland - 138 pts
    7.- Spain - 120 pts
    8.- Romania - 108 pts
    9.- Turkey - 105 pts
    10.- Armenia - 103 pts
    11.- Hungary - 88 pts
    12.- Latvia - 86 pts
    13.- Iceland - 83 pts
    14.- Albania - 79 pts
    15.- Bosnia & Herzegovina - 77 pts
    16.- Norway - 66 pts

    Isn't this OGAE stuff just a load of old ....


    António Oliveira [24121]
    Wed 9 Apr 2008 23:39:04

    The Final Table with the points given by the OGAE's until now is still NOT CORRECT !!!
    I repeat :
    10 + 0 + 3 + 0 + 7 + 8 + 0 + 4 = 32 points (and not 26 points) to Portugal !
    OMG, is it so difficult to understand ???


    Paulo Corte Real [32131]

    K2 International: I've also noticed that big mistake!! It should be rectified immediately.

    Agree with all, except for Sweden's position. It should obviously be in 4th place and Portugal in first. Nevertheless, good luck Sweden.

    @ Barry: No, we don't need to update our browsers. But you need to straighten out your graphics. Why not just present a list of "current standings" at the end of each article, and scrap that purple thing? If you did, everyone could follow ...


    K2 International [19514]

    The scorecard and the written results are also incoherent when it comes to Romania. On the scorecard it says that Andorra gave 7 to Poland and 5 to Portugal. In the article it says that they gave 7 to Portugal, 5 to Romania and nothing to Poland ...


    Michael Seite [31167]
    Wed 9 Apr 2008 17:37:29

    Is it Poland or Portugal that got the 4 points from Lithuania? the board and the results written don't match!


    António Oliveira [24121]
    Wed 9 Apr 2008 17:26:32

    I REPEAT:
    Sorry, esctoday editors but the points for PORTUGAL are WRONG.
    Let us check>

    OGAE SPAIN > 10 PTS
    OGAE NORWAY > 0 PTS
    OGAE ITALY > 3 PTS
    OGAE BELGIUM > 0 PTS
    OGAE ANDORRA > 7 PTS
    OGAE SERBIA > 8 PTS
    OGAE LITHUANIA > 4 PTS .

    So that gives 32 POINTS and not 26 POINTS which puts PORTUGAL in 5th place, ahead of NORWAY and SERBIA ??!!

    Hi Darko...

    You need to update your browser. The chart works in all latest browser versions. I suggest Firefox 2 or Internet Explorer 7.

    Barry, is there anything that can be done to finally put various OGAE votes in the chart provided? I'm really straining to read and decypher every time.

    On the subject, all this Charlotte Charlotte Charlotte shrieking is making me depressed as it is such an insipid song. On the other hand, I'd be happy for it to win just so that the West can finally have its frustrated cake and eat it, so that we could then all move on at last. Or am I being too naive...
