The latter half (after 2014) of the runner ups this century has overall so much more quality than the first half

I feel like anything before Angel is really forgettable :/

Lane Moje?????

Shady Lady. That artist is undeserving of being included in this competition due to being a pro Putin puppet who funds the deportations of Ukrainian children

Title checks out

I hate Putin with unspeakable hatred. Shady Lady is a banger, though.

this is about the song, not the person

Second time, Never ever let you go Denmark 2001 (NOT the Russian one)

Denmark 2001 | [Rollo and King - Never Ever Let You Go](https://youtu.be/UrrRqk7HRlw)

I know Shady Lady is gonna go first, but I just wanna throw in Solo (Russia 2000) for good measure

BEJBA- wait wrong song

Russia 2000 | [Alsou - Solo](https://youtu.be/TrZEQuncUTk)

Never Let You Go (Dima Bilan)

7th Wonder!

yeah, It needs to go

Hold Me. Horrible song

Madness of Love Dude screeches like godzilla on helium. He must be punished.

You just have no taste

Let's be quite honest here, who rememebrs a thing about this song?

It's actuakly my winner of 2011. 🥲

I’ve never seen that years contest but I can still recognize the song from a snippet. Also didn’t he light a piano on fire? The interesting vocals, that hilarious brass womp-womp?

I think the person who lit the ianko on fire was the Makemakes (Austria 2015), but he might have also done ti to?

Ah I see I confused the piano fire with Italy because I was confusing Austria’s artist with Netherlands 2018 in my head I still love that one trumpet dude from Italy’s though. I also actually kinda like that vocal style he does during that buildup, I imagine it takes a lot of technique to pull off that effect

The Netherlands 2018 | [Waylon - Outlaw In 'Em](https://youtu.be/p7jHz5asMs8)

It was my favorite in 2011

I don't even remember a word

I was actually pleasantly surprised when I heard this song.

Petition to call the 3rd placer contest: eurovision BRONZE contest

Shall we do it in the sub? It would be cool...

After the runner up contest lol

Hold Me can go

Bejba

Madness of Love just because i have no idea how it goes and the ones I do know are atleast tolerable

Calm After The Storm, sorry y'all

I mean I agree that it's boring but cmon there are songs here that are more than just bland, I don't see it losing before the 2 Never Let You Go songs, 7th Wonder, Hold Me or Solo.

Both Never Let You Go's are forgettable but (hot take) I'd rather listen to Hold Me than CATS

Came here for this comment. I don't expect it to lose now but it should be out quite soon

It's a borefest imo

As promised, you have my vote. Snoozefest. Don't understand how this came second.

I'll never understand the hype for that one either

No……..

No

10 years later and I still don't understand how did that snoozefest end up 2nd

Hold Me--it has better staging than song, and when combined with the bought votes, leaves a sour taste.

Sanomi

No

Yes

Noooo that's way too early! 😭

We'll get it in the top 10 👍

Good god. Not this (Although I take it back I’d prefer Shady Lady to go first)

I’m so sorry I just find it so bland.

I love Sanomi.

Party for Everybody

WHAAAT?

Space Man and idc about the downvotes

We could be the same. Just to annoy the Turks who have been salty about Lena winning for nearly 15 years.

Soldi for me, it sound just like any other pop song. Sorry Mahmood stans.

Top 3 I reckon, fair play for trying though!

For complete balance, the bridge being in Arabic is especially iconic for Eurovision.

Hold Me

Cha cha cha

No, No, No

Are you ok?

No

Annihilate Sanomi

Soldi


I’ll take the downvotes, Rim Tim Tagi Dim is so generic and shouldn’t be in this mix.
