OGAE Ireland Cast their Eurovision 2013 Votes

OGAE or “Organisation Generale des Amateurs de l’Eurovision” is the official Eurovision Fan Network across Europe. The Irish organisation held their annual Party and voted on the countries competing in the Eurovision Song Contest 2013. Under the Presidency of Diarmuid Furlong, the festivities took place on Friday Evening in Enniscorthy in County Wexford.

45 members voted in the usual Eurovision Fashion awarding points from 1-8 and then 10 and a maximum 12 or Douze points to their favorite song. In this the Irish fans are allowed to vote for Ireland so it is always interesting to see where they place the home entry. There are no semi finals and members just vote for their favorite songs from the entire 39 entries.

Here is a link that will allow you to play out the full voting sequence so you can see where the votes went to.

  6. Delighted to see the Netherlands doing so well, I really love the song but have fears it might have trouble getting wider appeal especially with Tele voters. Have to say Finland has grown on me in recent times so can see its appeal. Don’t know about Switzerland, Belguim, Israel and Iceland getting into the final?

  8. Seeing Finland and UK so highly placed. I haven’t really rated them that much but will redirect my attention to them more closely. I cannot get into the whole Ukranian/Disneyesque entry but no doubt being Ukraine it will do well. I think Azerbaijan may well make the top 10. No doubt my views will all change again once the rehearsals start and we finally see the staging and hear the live performances.
