On Saturday, OGAE Finland held their annual election meeting, which saw a great number of ladies elected in the board of the largest fan club in Europe. Afterwards, the members present voted for their favourite songs and the results can be seen below.

The meeting and Preview party of OGAE Finland were held at the Eurovision Bar in Helsinki. The opinions were unanimous on the top song but greatly divided as far as some of the entries were concerned. For example, members were divided on the Ukrainian, Israeli, Romanian and even the Finnish entry, which made it into the Top Ten.

Thanks to Johnny Logan and Hold me now I fell in love with the Eurovision Song Contest, a love that's been going strong ever since with undiminished passion. My first memories date back to 1977 and the lyrics of Rock bottom, Dschinghis Khan and A ba ni bi are still engraved in my brain. I joined esctoday.com in 2006 as a junior editor after being invited by Barry Viniker, I soon became Senior Editor and during the 2007 contest in Helsinki I was appointed Head of Communications. Today I hold the post of Head of Human Resources and I am proud to be working with the best editorial team in the world.
