Make a chicken cry and grab your toy box: Israel’s Netta has won the first 12 points of the OGAE Poll 2018. OGAE France has become the first of more than 40 Eurovision fan clubs around the world to reveal it’s favourite song at the Eurovision Song Contest 2018.

This is the second year in a row that OGAE France has kicked off voting. Last year, the club gave 12 points to Italy’s Francesco Gabbani, foreshadowing his eventual victory in the poll weeks later.

The vote confirms the odds which currently have Israel as the favourite to win the contest in May.

The French fan club gave 10 points to Finland’s Saara Aalto and 8 points to Australia’s Jessica Mauboy.

Denmark’s Rasmussen took 7 points and Czech Republic’s Mikolas Josef earned 6 points rounding out the French top 5.

You can see the French points below:

Israel – 12

Finland – 10

Australia – 8

Denmark – 7

Czech Republic – 6

Sweden – 5

Greece – 4

Bulgaria – 3

Italy – 2

Azerbaijan, Estonia and Belarus all missed out on points by slender margins. Further fan clubs will reveal their votes in the coming week.

Will the OGAE Poll 2018 predict the winner of Eurovision 2018?

Not exactly. Members of OGAE – L’Organisation générale des amateurs de l’Eurovision – aren’t an entirely accurate representation of the 200 million viewers who tune in to the Eurovision Song Contest in May.

In twelve years, the poll has only accurately predicted the winner four times and the past two winners have both failed to make it into the top 5 at the Grand Final.

Francesco Gabbani, who won the poll last year, fell at the last hurdle and finished in 6th place last year in Kyiv. The poll’s runner up Blanche did however manage to make the top 5, finishing in fourth with her track “City Lights”.
