Last Saturday, the Portuguese branch of the Eurovision Song Contest fans organisation OGAE (Organisation Générale des Amateurs de l'Eurovision) voted for the songs in competition at the 2006 Eurovision Song Contest. Portugal was excluded from the voting.
The outcome of the Portuguese fans voting was as follows:
1. Belgium 138 pts
2. Greece 127 pts
3. Iceland 116 pts
4. Germany 111 pts
5. Croatia 100 pts
6. Romania 92 pts
7. Bosnia Herzegovina 83 pts
8. Russia 81 pts
9. Finland 77 pts
10. Switzerland 75 pts
11. Slovenia 70 pts
12. Norway 69 pts
13. United Kingdom 64 pts
14. Sweden 60 pts
15. The Netherlands 57 pts
16. Denmark 52 pts
17. Estonia 51 pts
18. Armenia 44 pts
19. Malta 39 pts
20. Ukraine 28 pts
20. Poland 28 pts
22. Andorra 25 pts
23. Spain 23 pts
23. Bulgaria 23 pts
25. Macedonia 20 pts
26. Monaco 17 pts
27. Turkey 16 pts
28. Belarus 11 pts
29. France 10 pts
30. Ireland 8 pts
30. Lithuania 8 pts
32. Albania 6 pts
32. Latvia 6 pts
34. Israel 4 pts
35. Cyprus 1 pts
36. Moldova 0 pts
It is curious to notice that same as last year, Moldova came last with nil points on the OGAE Portugal votes.
Last year, the Portuguese fans club predicted the victory of Hungary and the 6th place to Greece. In 2004 they predicted the victoy of Serbia & Montenegro and the second place of Ukraine, though in the actual final the voting was the other way around. Let's wait and see what this year's results will bring!
