19th jury declares
OGAE Portugal: 12 points to Serbia
The Portuguese OGAE votes:
- 12 points Serbia
- 10 points Switzerland
- 8 points Sweden
- 7 points Norway
- 6 points Romania
- 5 points Albania
- 4 points Iceland
- 3 points Cyprus
- 2 points Armenia
- 1 point Andorry
Just missing out:
- Ukraine
- Greece
- Poland
- Russia
- San Marino
Sweden remains in the lead and is 61 points ahead of the runner-up, which is still Serbia. Switzerland is now ten points ahead of Armenia who stay in fourth place despite some low votings from the most recent countries. While the big votes all went to countries that are doing well, some minor suprises can also be found in the voting: Cyprus got three points and has now eight in total which makes them climb a bit. Albania got five points and moves back in 12th place.

You can still "react defensively in an aggressive way" AND be rude. That's kind of the point. You are rude to hit people where it hurts. 
Sandra isn't only the one on this site who does it. I see it quite a bit.
And it is a pity because ESC is supposed to be about having fun. 
But yeah... it is quite difficult to detect sarcasm online. 
Lol, no, I won't think you're mocking me. But I'm not being attacked like Sandra was.
I'm sure all of Portugal is really nice! But you hear more of tourists visiting Lisbon. But when I plan a trip there I'll be sure to look at some non-tourist packed areas too. =]
And my nickname Winter Wonderland comes from a song I loved as a child.
Ok ok...
Reading the things she wrote, i don't know... you can call it "reacting defensively in an aggressive way"... i call it rudness.
You can also think i was rude when i said "from Hero to Zero"... i think i was just being sarcastic
At the end we should all be friends, that's the point of ESC.
Yes, Lisbon is great but not only Lisbon, the rest of continental Portugal is great... and you should see the islands of Madeira(where Vânia is coming from) and Azores, breathtaking...
And portuguese people know very well how to host foreign people one of our biggest qualities
If i say that after you visit Portugal you'll change your nickname to Summer Wonderland, you'll think im mocking of you?
hehehe
Hope not...
@david lopez: Ok, this I can understand. I still didn't find it appropriate since I'm sure she felt it was a personal attack against her. That's certainly what I thought.
And I read your post about Portugal - it DID sound as if you were mocking her.
But I'd love to visit Portugal. I hear that Lisbon is a great tourist destination. =D
And I've seen many of Sandra's posts. I know what she's like. But I can't say that I was much different last year when the Ark was competing. I've loved them for years and I got very defensive at people's negative comments.
I can take negativity about Charlotte when it's done with humour, but some people here are extremely negative towards her. I feel as frustrated as Sandra - I just don't express it vocally. xD And I know that getting defensive and insulting people won't help.
I don't think Sandra has negative views of Portugal or Portugese people. It's called reacting defensively in an aggressive way. You hit people were it hurts. o.o
And I'm not really going to side on anyone on this issue. Both sides are just as bad, no matter how much the Sandra-bashers probably feel their actions are justified. And no matter how much Sandra feels her actions are justified.
All of you need to tone it down. :/
I don't consider myself innocent or guilty of anything here, and for me that's what matters!
What i know is that i never attaked her and personally i wasn't attacked by her either...i gave my opinion about the rudness she uses in her writting, i actually made a very nice invitation for her to visit Portugal (that i also extend to you)... and i also find her very funny, i love when she calls us "portuguese lovers" i just can't stop laugh...
From hero to zero wasn't to attack her, its just sarcastic humour...i was delighted to see all this "team" you call, bashing her back, cause she was getting on everybody's nerves, and it wasn't just on this post, it seems for me that you just read this one.
And please don't feel attacked either, it's no my intention really
I hope you don't have the same opinion as her, about Portugal and portuguese people...and come and visit us!!
@david lopez: Age =/= Maturity.
You're not innocent in all this either. You're part of the team that's been ganging up on Sandra. From hero to zero? Come one... what a pointless thing to say. 
Can you please be an adult about this and stop provoking her? No remark Sandra has made excuses you from making insulting remarks. -shrug-
I've made the same mistake far too many times.
yeah, the only prob is that shes not young anymore
lol
@dimmis fan: You're provoking her. It's only your opinion that Sweden isn't the best song this year. MY fave this year is also Sweden, and there's nothing wrong with that. Sandra is allowed to have it as a fave if she wants.
@Sandra Ahlander: There was nothing wrong with your first comment, but you should have ended it there. It was just your opinion. But calling Vania a fat cow is not an opinion, but an insult. Of course they started it by calling Charlotte plastic/etc, but you're not making things better. Apparently they can't find anything wrong with the song so they attack the artist instead. But you don't have to do the same! Then you're just as bad as them.
So be calm. You remind me a lot of me when I was younger.
Q se passa c a sueca? Não disse mais nd...lol
Digam lá que nao tinha piada qd ela nos chamava "portuguese lovers"...
eu aqui nao parava de rir lol
I can't wait, David. Maybe I'll stay there
Vania to win Eurovision!
Hey projectzero and florian, of course you are also invited to visit our country
The thing is, if you had the right atitude since the begining portuguese would support you and not Fabio, but probably you fed the arguing, like I know u did, so that makes you guilty. I also don't agree in nothing they have said bad abt Charlotte, but as you may noticed I also read some things you said abt my entry and my entry that I didn't like too, so I just can't be with you, and start to think when u offend countries and portuguese ppl u don't offend just the ones you are talking with...
Não vale a pena mais discussões, ela foi ofendida nós tb, é melhor ficar assim.
@Winter Wonder! I must be allowed to give my opinion about a song without bashing of my owwn country! In my first comment about Portugal I only said thai I think it´s boring and I don´t think it´s will go to final! What´s wrong with that? I´m not insulted the Portugese artist! I only give my opinion! But then the portugese lovers insulting Sweden and Charlotte and said nasty things about her! Is that fair?
sandra i think that Fabio is rigt,
just take tame and download and the other 42 songs of this year eurovision and now lisen them is nice to pick up the phone at 24th of May and vote for a song that you like(and i am sorry but sweden is not the best song of this year)and like i have tell allready THOUSAND TIMES maby ni ever gona make it to the final because .............. i don t gona repeted again.
PORTUGAL GREECE and ALBANIA my top 3 hahahahahaahaha
saludos from SPAIN
@Sandra Åhlander: I was actually amused by the avatar. Of course it's offensive, but I can recognise that in MF Charlotte did look a bit dragqueen-ish. (Since she had trouble moving in the dress and her makeup was so heavy). But I know that Charlotte is a gorgeous and sweet woman so offensive statements about her won't bother me that much. Besides, the reason Fabio put that avatar up was to provoke you. Some people find amusement in getting others riled up. And that's too bad for them, but you do honestly need to calm down! o.o
I notice as well that certain people here do like to make negative remarks about Sweden/Charlotte on most threads. But that's just immature of them - and it's their problem.
But what I notice that you do is that you get defensive and lash ou t aggressively. By insulting their country/song/favourite/etc. They may have started it, but arguing with them certainly isn't going to help (and it doesn't make you look good). It'll just fuel them on into arguing more with you.
Everyone here will like different songs, and that's their opinion. Attacks on seperate artists will stop once people stop caring about them. I get annoyed by the Charlotte comments as well, but it's best just to ignore them. Then you show yourself to be the more mature person anyway. *hug*
But I understand how you feel.
What a shame... so many points for a plagiarized song!
@Winter Wonnderland: Hi! I try to calm down but have you seen Favio Delucas new avatar and his nasty comments about Sweden and Charlotte!
Look att his AVATAR, my dear friend!
@Joel Reis: You ARE attacking me! So now I wait to you attacking Fabio Deluca too!
Why my comments concern you????
I haven´t see you say any word about Fabio´s catwoman comments about Charlotte! But if he should do that against Vania then I´m sure you will say that he hasn´t any respect!
Attackaing Sweden seems okay for you but nota attacking Portugal!
Erm... lol? o.o
@Sandra: Calm down.
@Most others: Stop provoking her.
I like Portugal's votes! Although I don't understand Romania being that high.
And "Andorry" got a point too. 
Sandra, concerning the fact that I'm not rude and histerical I don't atack anyone. And avatar's user is not my responsability because it doesn't concern me. You should concern's about you, kid.
@Joel Reis: So why you don´t attack Fabio Deluca also??? He call Charlotte catwoman and his avatar... is that respect do you think? But of course you don´t attacking him because he loves Portugal!
@Joel Reis: So why you don´t attack Fabio Deluca also??? He call Charlotte catwoman and his avatar... is that respect do you think? But of course you don´t attacking him because he loves Portugal!
ProjectZero I think there is one thing we should agree: freedom of speech and thinking but also RESPECT. That's just one thing missing in Sandra. To bad for her...
@david lopez
your comment about portugal was the only worth reading in this article hehe
anyway i dont like Sweden's song that much this year and i think it is overrated. Portugal is my fav

cheers!
Well at least shes not using the capslock animore,lol
