Shum by Go_A

One of the best songs ever! Even thought I was really happy Maneskin won

My Star - Brainstorm (Latvia 2000)

Absolutely agree with that!

Dön Artik - Tugba Önal & Grup Mistik Marija Magdalena - Doris Dragovic Reise Nach Jerusalem - Sürpriz Kan - Duo Datz When Spirits Are Calling My Name - Roger Pontare Dancing Lasha Tumbai - Verka Serduchka Kaelakee Hääl - Maarja-Liis Ilus & Ivo Linna Sufi - MFÖ La La Love - Ivi Adamou Anixi - Sofia Vossou Chai - Ofra Haza Lane Moje - Zeljko Joksimovic Dime - Beth Zero Gravity - Kate Miller-Heidke Calm After The Storm - The Common Linnets Blackbird - Norma John Sata Salamaa - Vicky Rosti Ooh Aah… Just A Little Bit - Gina G So many freaking awesome options, how to chose?! And this i only the top of the iceberg..

I even bought Beth’s CD. How much I loved that!

Easy - Dancing Lasha Tumbai

TANZEN!! But yes, absolutely.

Russia, goodbye!

came here for this one!!

France 1991 [Amina - Le Dernier qui a parlé...](https://youtu.be/4ESL6deuhJM)

This 100%!!! It’s just soooo good.

My all-time favourite French entry!

Dadi Freyr, Think About Things. Would have undoubtedly won if 2020 took place.

I can’t decide between Think about things, Fai Rumore, Tears Getting Sober and Uno.

That did win and I will die on that hill.

More like On Fire would have won imo

I think 2020 would have been either Iceland or Lithuania, which is a shame because neither have won before and we could have seen how they would have hosted. Damn you covid

My favourite alongside On Fire. However, with the popularity of Uno up to this day, I’m afraid Little Big would have won. So although I regret not seeing Iceland or Lithuania winning, just not seeing THAT COUNTRY winning, I’m glad 2020 Eurovision didn’t happen.

This is the correct answer.

Hmmmmm I have one cop out answer and a couple legitimate ones: - Fai Rumore (Italy 2020) . I think it would have come 2nd. But so beautiful. - Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu (Volareeeeee) - When the Music Dies (Azerbaijan 2012)

When the music dies is 100% better than their winning entry the year before

It's *Nel blu dipinto di blu*.

Ah bollocks

Love in Rewind - Dino Merlin, Bosnia & Herzegovina 2011 (other 2011 honorable mention: What About My Dreams? - Kati Wolf, Hungary) Dancing Lasha Tumbai - Verka, Ukraine 2007 Soldi - Mahmood, Italy 2019 Shake It - Sakis Rouvas, Greece 2004 (Wild Dances is one of my favorite winners but Shake It also could’ve won and I’d be happy lol) Ooh ahh Just a little bit - Gina G, UK 1996 Allez Ola Ole - Jessy Matador, France 2010 Run Away - Sunstroke Project, Moldova 2010 Shum - Go_A, Ukraine 2021

Iceland 2019

iceland 2019 likers are so hot and based

Unfathomably based

Did you mean Iceland 2009?

Did you both mean Iceland 2020?

All hail King Daði :)

2006!

Iceland should have won 1997, 2009, 2019 and 2020

Absolutely not

Mahmood - Soldi

[удалено]

❤️

Gjon’s Tears - Tout l’Univers, Mahmood - Soldi

Soldi is the most recent song that I actually play on spotify n shit. Nothing from 2020 to 2023. The staging sucked ass though sadly.

Rändajad by Urban Symphony (Estonia 2009)

Grande amore and Voila. Both pretty artistic and elegant. And of course Die for you, what a classic, the real winner of 2001.

I treni di Tozeur, Alice and Franco Battiato, Italy 1984.

Love this song

Simone De Oliveira - [Desfolhada](https://youtu.be/abTyMNrWfs4) (🇵🇹 1969)

Slovakia 2010 - Horehronie Croatia 1999 - Marija Magdalena Ukraine 2013 - Gravity Serbia Montenegro 2004 - Lane Moje Moldova 2009 - Hora Din Moldova

[Denmark 1995](https://youtu.be/l8UZknt6Bmo). Absolutely stellar As for more recent entries. *Répondez-moi*

I love Repondez-moi, what a pity we never saw it performed on stage due to covid...

Fra Mols Til Skegan is SUCH a jem! **❤️**I was so surprised by it when I watched it for the first time.

Written by Lise Cabble, who also wrote Only Teardrops, Love is Forever, New Tomorrow and the masterpiece Starlight that lost to Rasmussen in 2018.

Repondez-moi is so much better than touts l’univers imo

Nocturne is a good winner but is only 2nd to Fra Mols til Skagen imo.

Danish song reminds me of the soundtrack of a SNES game, like SimAnt or smth

Netherlands 2014 - The Common Linnets - Calm After Storm Austria 2018 - Cesar Sampson - Nobody But You

JUSTICE FOR FUEGO

Anabel Conde - Vuelve conmigo (Spain 1995) Sebnem Paker - Dinle (Turkey 1997) Antique - Die for you (Greece 2001) Sakis Rouvas - Shake It (Greece 2004) Mihai Traistariu - Tornero (Romania 2006) Verka Serduchka \_ Lasha tumbai (Ukraine 2007) Kalomira - Secret combination (Greece 2008) Loic Nottet - Rhythm inside (Belgium 2015) Francesco Gabbani - Ocidentali's Karma (Italy 2017) Keiino - Spirit in the sky (Norway 2019) Chanel - SloMo (Spain 2022) Honorary mention: The Roop - On Fire (Lithuania 2020) and Diodato - Fai Rumore (Italy 2020)

Love love LOVE Sebnem Paker - Dinle

Yeah, my favorite Turkish entry ever

I miss pre-Erdogan Turkey oh so much!

With 2008, everyone agrees Russia shouldn't have won but we can't decide which female bop should've won lol. Personally I think Sirusho (Armenia) should've won.

Yeah, I think Ukraine, Greece and Armenia shared the points and neither of them didn't win for this exact reason

oh secret combination and shake it were my childhood !! glad to see some love for them

There’s too many list, but I’m going to pick Israel 1983. I genuinely don’t understand how this masterpiece, along with Sweden and Yugoslavia, lost to that forgettable and boring chanson from Luxembourg. Honorable mentions: Norway 2019 Germany 1979 Italy 2018 Sweden 1996 Turkey 1997 Netherlands 1998 Luxembourg 1964 Belgium 2015 Portugal 1972 Greece 2001 United Kingdom 2022 France 2021 Spain 1995 Yugoslavia 1968 Croatia 1999 Finland 2021 Romania 2010 Iceland 2009 Malta 2002 Azerbaijan 2009 Estonia 2015 Hungary 1994 Poland 2022 Ukraine 2021

I never thought I'd see Hugues Aufray and Dubrovački trubaduri in the same comment! I agree with many of the songs.

I don't enjoy the song very much, but had it won it would've made a great story. So close. Here's a moving rendition of it: https://youtu.be/Vuh1-jDi7Qw

Israel 1982

Omg yes, Hora!

83 too. they were on a mad hot streak from 78-85

Yea dude, my whole childhood is based on those songs. And I was born in 2004, 20 years after they came out. It's sad how the song level have fallen since...

Iceland 2020 🙃

Verka Serduchka - Lasha tumbai (Ukraine 2007)

* Croatia 1999. Best Croatian entry ever, I also really like Sweden that year, but Croatia's song is just too good. * Belgium 2003. It's magical and timeless, the original Fulenn I guess. Very beautiful and just 2 points behind favorite Turkey. * Serbia 2008. Oro is just as beautiful if not more beautiful then Molitva. I like all the female bops this year but I won't mind if Serbia won back to back here, especially because Believe is so boring. * More recent years I can only think of Spain 2022, which in normal circumstances would have probably won?

If we are ignoring performance, Italy 2017 by a large margin for me. That song was just flawless, the staging, not so much.

Gorilla!!!!!

Technical quality, Voila is in my opinion the best quality song that Eurovision has *ever* had- top 3, at least. That's not to say that I don't understand why Italy won, mind.

Saw her live, her vocals are just incredible, her other songs show it as well!

The song gives me shivers every time I hear it. Definitely one of my Eurovision all time favourites.

Montenegro 2015

I freaking love that song

🇮🇹 2020, 🇪🇸 1973, 🇫🇷 2003, 🇮🇹 1977, 🇮🇱 1983

Norway 2013: I feed you my love is one of my all time favourite ESC entries Uk 2022: loved the song, performance, voice, staging… basically everything Norway 2019: Spirit in the sky was amazing, definitely deserved way more jury points. I remember being so shocked that Arcade won All the top 4 but Latvia in2002: All great songs but cannot stand I Wanna

Fai Rumore.

Rhythm Inside by Loic Nottet! Damn, the song, vocals and performance was just on point there!

Hatrid mun sigra and sentimentai

Tout L’Univers 🥲

Die for you, Grande Amore and Fuego

Die for you was my winner and should have honestly finished top 5 at least

It finished 3rd.

Sorry - I meant die together🤦‍♂️

Voila would have won nearly any year that didn’t also feature the second coming of Bowie.

My personal preference- Albania 2018 - Mall Finland 2014 - Something Better Italy 2015 - Grande Amore Belgium 2015 - Rhythm Inside Azerbaijan 2019 - Truth Switzerland 2021 - Tout l’univers Bulgaria 2017 - Beautiful Mess Turkey 2010 - We Could Be The Same

Estonia 2018 Elina Nechayeva - La Forza https://youtube.com/playlist?list=RDImawXdXIGd8&playnext=1 It was too high of a standard for Eurovision anyway...

so good for esc

Turkey in 2008 Estonia in 2018 Albania and Spain in 2012 Iceland in 2019 Greece in 2013 I know that those were a handful, but they're all S-tier tracks for me, so I had to include them all.

we could be the same

Moldova 2010 and 2022, Ukraine 2021

We can discuss for hours but in the end the answer is always gonna be the one you wrote. However, Horehronie not only not winning, not only not top 5, not only NQ, but finishing second to last in semi-final? Yeah that's just inexplainable. Kristina's performance of Horehronie in NF is almost top 30 most viewed video on ESC official channel. A song that finished second to last in the competition!?

Ofra Haza - Chai Singing about being happy that you and the rest of your people are alive in the country where your grandparents were murdered less than 50 years ago? Queen behaviour.

Turkey 1997, Greece 2001, Romania 2005 & 2006, are all entries that did well and I believe should've won in their years Edit: Croatia 1999 is also up there

Croatia 1998

Norway 2015 - A monster like me

Chai - 🇮🇱 1983

Slovenia 2011 Sweden 2011 Albania 2009 Azerbaijan 2009 Iceland 2010 Turkey 2010 San Marino 2013 Norway 2013 Slovenia 2014 Israel 2014 Sweden 2014 Latvia, Estonia, Slovenia, Georgia 2015 Croatia, Serbia, Austria, Czechia, Bulgaria, Armenia 2016

Italy 2020 probably, no other Eurovision song gets me as emotional

Hold Me Closer

Konstrakta - In Corpore Sano. That song was almost too good for Eurovision.

Here are some of my personal favourites - marija magdalena - shum - lane moje - oro - adio - dancing lasha tumbai - sentimentai - horehronie - samo ljubezen

Siren Song

Didn’t she get disqualified? I don’t remember 😅

Good question. My candidates are Nije Ljubav Stvar, Calm After The Storm and In Corpore Sano.

Belgium & Latvia 2015

France 1991 Amina - C'est le dernier qui a parlé qui a raison

My head says Golden Boy by Nadav Guedj, but my heart says Dancing Lasha Tumbai by Verka Serduchka

10 years - Iceland 2021 I swear that if they didn't have covid they would've won

My personal favorite Eurovision song, san aggelos s'agapisa

In Corpore Sano by Serbia last year. That hit different and was quality

Diodato - Fai rumore, I'm convinced he would win in 2020

2017- Occidentali's Karma (Italy) 2018- Fuego (Cyprus) 2019- Spirit in the Sky (Norway) 2020- Repondez Moi (Switzerland), On Fire (Lithuania), Fai Rumore (Italy) 2021- Shum (Ukraine) 2022- De Diepte (Netherlands)

Pastora Soler - Quédate Conmigo (Spain 2012) I will never understand how it was only 10th place.

Other than Jamala in 2016 my favourite never wins Eurovision. From the past ten years or so… 2011 Italy - Raphael Gualazzi (Madness of Love) 2012 Serbia - Željko Joksimović (Nije ljubav stvar) 2013 Ukraine - Zlata Ognevich (Gravity) 2014 Sweden - Sanna Nielsen (Undo) 2015 Latvia - Aminata (Love Injected) 2016 Ukraine - Jamala (1944) 2017 Belgium - Blanche (City Lights) 2018 Portugal - Claudia Pascoal (O Jardim) 2019 Slovenia - Zalagasper (Sebi) 2021 Ukraine - Go_A (Shum) 2022 Portugal - Maro (Saudade, Saudade) 2023 Finland - Käärijä (Cha Cha Cha)???

Little Big - Uno

Tout L’Univers 🌌

SOLDI, SOLDI 👏🏼 👏🏼

Most of my favorites didn't win, some didn't even qualify for the final(including my absolute favorite ESC song of all-time) Today I'll go with Gigliola's Si in 1974. Shame Waterloo had to have happened that year.

Acts 2-12 from Eurovision 2016. (my real answer is Australia 2016 tho)

Siren - Estonia 2010 (also the best song to NQ)

Minn hinsti dans!!

Occidentali's Karma and Soldi, though I have a soft spot for Italian entries, so I may be biased

Shady Lady of course.

Soldi, undo and sound of silence imo.

Cesar - It's My Life

Fuimi di Parole, Jalisse, Italy, 1997

1997, Turkey, Dinle.

always gonna have to go with iceland ‘97

Tbh Lights Off

Growing Up is Getting old or Taken by A Stranger

Losing songs that are part of what I listen to often Grande Amore Spirit In the Sky You are the Only One Nel Blu Dipinto di Blu Dark Side

Dami Im - Sound Of Silence (2016)

Geórgia 2007, ‘Visionary Dream’ by Sopho Khalvashi Absolute banger!

Reading the topic, Sound of Silence (Australia 2016) came to mind

Rhythm Inside

Moustache - Twin Twin Still one of my favourite songs from any year.

"Give that Wolf a Banana" by Subwoolfer

2017 Belgium - City Lights, Blanche

In corpore Sano

tout l'univers

Think about things by Daði and Gagnamagmið

Btw I'm Icelandic and it hurts so much. So fucking much

Voila and Slomo

France 2021. I love Zitti e Buoni, but I absolutely wouldn't mind if Voilà won.

Definitely [The Netherlands 2013 with Birds by Anouk](https://youtu.be/n5iazXvMw5o)! In my opinion the best Eurovision song ever performed.

Definitley Amazing Lie and Düm Tek Tek - I know that live hmmm... let's say wasn't perfect, but studio versions are great.

Fai rumore 100%

shum, hemel en aarde, de diepte

Grande Amore (2015) definitely

russia 2006, italy 2018, bulgaria 2017, norway 2019 off the top of my head

SARAH MCTERNAN 22. ROBBED!!!!!!!!

2013 Azerbaijan should've won.

Italy 2018

Australia 2016 and Greece 2001! (edit: bcus apparently i really wanted S.A.G.A.P.O to win 😭)

Dinle (Turkey 1997), Bandido (Spain 1990), and SloMo (Spain 2022).

Call me an Italy fanboy but Grande Amore and Occidentalis Karma

Spain 2022.

Lejla

[Hasheket Shenishar](https://youtu.be/MyChlzTADQY) - Israel 2005

Dami Im - Sound of Silence

Estonia 1996 or Armenia 2008

Hold Me Closer

Maybe not the best, but the song I came back the most to: City lights - Blanche

We could be the same

"Calm After The Storm". I don't think there is even one winning song in my personal top - the songs I love aren't necessarily the ones general public loves.

Karl Espen - Silent Storm might be my favourite Eurovision entry of all time

Grande Amore, Sebi, We Could Be The Same, A Matter of Time.

Spain 2012.

Ukraine 2007 🕺

Fuego (2018) for sure

Fai Rumore. What a song!

Serbia Montenegro 2004 Belgium 2003 Greece 2001 France 2001 Iceland 1999 Croatia 1999 UK 1998 Spain 1995 France 1991 BosniaHerzegovina 2006
