Your 2009 Eurovision favourites so far (11)
How does it work?
Once an entry is selected, a poll is held with the following six options: I love it, I like it, It's ok, It's nothing special, I don't like it and I hate it. The options are transferred to points of the values 3, 2, 1, -1, -2 and -3 respectively. The percentage an option got is then multiplied by its value. Therefore, the highest score an entry can get is +300, the lowest is -300.
What is the object of this poll?
These polls are just held "for fun" and supposed to reveal which songs have the most fans so far. The charts are in no way supposed to predict the outcome of the 2009 Eurovision Song Contest.
In most polls you can find on the internet, people can just vote for their favourites, so songs that have many fans are likely to top those polls, no matter how many people don't like them at all. Our polls include likes and dislikes, so songs that polarise very much are most likely to be found in the middle of the board, while the songs at the top are usually the ones that would find the highest approval if they did well in the Eurovision Song Contest, no matter if they are seen as top favourites.
Charts for 20th April 2009

Comparison with the YourOne poll
If we compare the YourOne poll, where everyone can pick his or her #1 favourite with the poll charts, where each entry is rated separately, some interesting details are revealed: The Turkish and Romanian entries seem to be the most polarising ones this year. On the other hand, the entries from Bosnia & Herzegovina and Norway have many people who like the song but they are also the number one favourites of many readers and have a relatively small amount of "haters".
Analysis of the poll charts
As we come closer to the Eurovision Song Contest, more and more votes are cast and the result become more steady now. There are no dramatic changes this week, no countries have raised or fallen by more than five places. Malta is therefore the biggest winner and Switzerland the biggest loser. Furthermore, Denmark has sneaked back into the top ten and Andorra comes very close, too. In the top five, only Sweden and the United Kingdom have changed places.
Don't forget to vote in the new polls that were launched some time ago, if you have not done so yet!

Ireland's Et cetera is one of my favourites, this year!
I am hoping for it to have a good result. Cheers!!!!
Lady Swinge
Are you declaring victory for Norway already????? REALITY is ... not a fairytale!
I must Thank You for your gracious garden party invitation in Oslo. However, in the event that things do ... not exactly work out for you, please make plans for MY counter-invitation, this summer, to a "Yabanaki" beach party in Varkiza-Athens! Agreed???? Special guest appearance by Greece's SAKIS
Furthermore, whether it WINS or not , Azerbaijan's Always will be on the playlist of EVERY party in Europe, not to mention that it will become a chart-topping ESC hit song !!!!!!
PORTUGAL still holding on to the 4th place three times in a row!!
Steady boy steady!
Thanks for not having the courage to mark "i hate it" for the lovely portuguese tune.
With the entry of the EASTERN European Countries this contest is at least more honest and interesting: i have laughed all these few years seeing countries like UK in the last places, tasting a bit of their own medicine of the past.
Hope we can all RESPECT music and each other in the future.
Good luck to all.
My top 5:
Sweden
Norway
France
Portugal
Switzerland
