Some stats (comparing official results and my ranking) for fun! Top 3 biggest jumps: 1. "Lost and Found" - Eye Cue (North Macedonia) 2. "Stones" - ZiBBZ (Switzerland) 3. "O Jardim" - Claudia Pascoal feat. Isaura (Portugal) Biggest slump: "Lie to Me" - Mikolas Josef (Czech Republic) Most similar to official result: Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente - Ermal Meta & Fabrizio Moro (Italy)
I didn't know that "Monsters" was Saara's coming out songs, but that makes sense! Also thanks for 1st place! I'm gonna go listen to 2018's Eurovision songs now
@AlexYT Placing my top 10 was so hard because this was my favourite year and I LOVE all those songs.... Maybe Meta and Moro deserved a bump?? Either way, that's an excellent choice of favourite. ❤️
My top 10 10. Albania 09. France 08. Germany 07. Denmark 06. Bulgaria 05. Greece 04. Romania 03. Lithuania 02. Hungary 01. Italy I agree on Macedonia it has such a great studio version but the live was absolutely messy. 🥺 Portugal placing last in the Grand Final was a crime it’s in my top 20 ❤️😭 Thank you from Germany 🇩🇪 About Romania I love these type of Rock songs it feels so nostalgic to me and has a great message too. But I get that it’s definitely not for everyone. 😊 Nice list 👍
Hi!! If it was just the song and nothing else, Lost and Found would be my favourite Macedonian entry! I love it, it's so catchy and mysterious. Unfortunately that live was indeed pretty awful. (And Kaliopi is more iconic so she's my actual overall favourite!) Michael Schulte is definitely someone to be proud of. 😊 The top 10 or so of this year is all songs I absolutely adore and his is one of them. He did a great job on the jury this year too. (Ranked Soldi #1!) Romania... Hmm. I do see why people like it a lot, it's definitely a song that sets out to be powerful and uplifting. But to me the message was like "stop being depressed, be happy!!!" and I didn't really like that. But sometimes a simple idea can get through to people really well and a lot of people who saw it live said it felt powerful. I do think I was a little bit harsh on it in hindsight. Someone said it sounds like a song from the Treasure Planet movie (which I love!!) and now I can't stop thinking about it. :) And I do appreciate a big fan of the Italian song!! I know 5th seems a little low but like I said, I loooved all the song I ranked the highest.
Omg and don't even get me started on Claudia and Isaura. :( I wish they'd had more help on staging it to be more memorable bc I heard they had to do most of it themselves.
10: i also do not know anything about this type of metal, but this was insanely powerful. the guitar instrumental in the beginning immediately attracted me to the song, the lead singer has a strong and powerful voice, and i overall enjoy this type of music, so i absolutely adored it! in 2018, i had three winners, and this was one of them. 9: okay, back to “random parts of songs i love”, this one also has something like this. in this case, it’s the verses. they’re incredibly great and give off the dark atmosphere that i think the entry is supposed to create. the chorus, however... disappointed me. overall, this is not my favourite. 8: the song is absolutely sweet and is performed by an amazing singer. this almost made me cry, but i actually do not remember if i cried or not. overall, this song is great, but still not my favourite. 7: i live in cyprus, and when i came to school the day after the contest, i remember almost everyone (mostly the boys) being disappointed with the fact that this did not win. eleni definitely slayed the stage with the awesome choreography, and this would definitely make a good winning song. although, on the cypriot radio, “toy” played more frequently than this. 6: the message of the song was delivered flawlessly and the performance was incredible. the flare moment was unforgettable, and this is definitely one of my favourite non-qualifiers of that year. 5: and there’s another one of my winners! the message of this song is incredible and the few lines of russian text displayed on the screen were enough to bring me to tears. this entry gave me chills, and made me want to immediately put it as a first place; in 2018, i had three winners, and this was one of them. 4: and there’s another one! one thing i really love about opera songs is when they create a sort of atmosphere; to me, this one did it perfectly. elina’s voice is incredible and the dress is absolutely stunning, and the song really sounds unearthly and unreal. in 2018, i had three winners, and this was one of them. 3: okay, i was not really a big fan of this entry, but i understand why you like it. i agree that it created a gentle, hopeful atmosphere. 2: once again, we don’t agree, but i still respect your opinion! i agree that eugent is a talented vocalist, however, the song sounded somewhat irritating to me. 1: it seems that we never agree on our winners! this used to be my winner once, but not anymore because of a family member that liked the song and asked me to play it to them a lot of the time. i grew off this entry, but i still like it quite a lot and i’m glad that i now remember all of the lyrics (there are much more embarrassing things i know all of the lyrics to, for example, san marino 2019). (also, i’m sorry if you find any typos, as i always make a lot of them while typing very long stuff like this. i’m quite embarrassed from 2010, when i forgot to type “not” in front of “my favourite” on romania’s entry!)
hello part 2 :) also don't be embarrassed by typos omg!! i can always tell what you mean and i literally make a bunch of them in my videos themselves! 10: this year is honestly so good i would've been happy to see anything from my top 10 win!! this song is amazing. 9: the verses are very cool, i think perhaps the chorus is a little generic? kind of basic and poppy, but i still like it. i also... had no idea what he was saying throughout, even as a native english speaker. literally the only phrase i picked up on first few listens was something about a decision. maybe he should have sang in Ukrainian. i'd probably move this entry just out of my top 10 if i redid this ranking. 8: very beautiful!! i think this type of song feels a little too familiar and overdone, but the emotion is so real that i love it anyway. 7: i think toy as a song is probably technically stronger, but fuego was a full PERFORMANCE, it's so fun to watch. 5: i'm so happy they came third in the televote!! they really connected with people, it's amazing. i don't usually like graphics that are added digitally, but in this case, they were used flawlessly. i also get so emotional every time i hear this. 4: yes!! the atmosphere here was stunning, it really felt like a winner to me. i just love elina in general, i think she could make a great comeback one day. 3: this top 3 is VERY self indulgent and i deffo don't expect to find someone with the same top 3 :,) it was hard to pick because there genuinely are like ten songs that i would have loved to see win, so i just went with whatever gave me the most feelings! 2: the song is pretty subjective, i was thrilled he got so far after consistently being at the bottom of the odds. it's hard to describe, but eugent just has this really warm, friendly vibe that makes me feel so happy whenever i hear this song. 1: definitely has the potential to be overplayed, so i see what you mean! i just love the beautiful message and the pretty instrumentals.
My top 10 Italia Non mi avette fatto niente Francia Mercy Bulgaria Bones Dinamarca Higher Ground Armenia Qami Austria Nobody but you Estonia La forza Albania Mall Alemania You let me walk alone Montenegro Inje
My question: WHY does no one talk about Qami more? It's so amazing and big and cinematic and powerful but the people were like "this sucks let's bring LITHUANIA to the grand final", like I've HAD it with you people.
could you please explain to me what is funny in the bones lyrics? im asking seriously cuz i dont know i read it multiple times and they are a bit odd but funny? idk I WANT TO KNOW YOUR POV
Here we go 43. I don't hate it as much as other people do, but it still sucks imo 42. Of course she was upset, being sent with such a weak song 41. I physically cannot put this low because he's so sweet, but... yeah. 40. Works well in parts but not together 39. Uninspiring song but she can definitely perform! 38. C H E E S E 37. This used to be my second before the cringe sunk in 36. Pretty meh 35. Oh dang, I used to love this I had no taste 34. Very meh 33. Typical bland Australian pop 32. I put this below 40th, it's so cringe 31. One of those songs I appreciate but can't exactly vibe to 30. Personally, I love this, but respect your opinion 29. This isn't Alexander, it's his little brother in disguise 28. COME ON UK SEND SOMETHING ACTUALLY GOOD FOR ONCE 27. This isn't as bad as I used to think (or maybe I'm just basic) 26. Best Montenegrin entry since Knez 25. I love this, really good blend of traditional and modern sounds 24. What you said 23. Pretty nice song, but the dancers feel really forced (also this is one of the two 2018 entries that was banned in China, the other was Albania) 22. I adore this one so much that the performance doesn't detract 21. I'm undecided 20. This one just annoys me but I can see where the fans come from 19. QUEEEEEEEEEEEEN 18. Looks like I'm undecided both sides of the bridge 17. A sure-fire NQ without that show 16. I don't like this. At all. Or maybe I'm just salty... 15. Top 5 for me, but yeah no chemistry at all between them 14. Overrated imo. I had no idea it was her coming out though, pretty cool 13. Austria just likes cute guys lol. Song slaps so hard though, I like 12. My thoughts exactly. I only liked this after listening to the studio version 11. Not my favourite, but still beautiful 10. RIP Ors. He did Hungary proud. 9. I like this. I just like it. 8. Only ESC song that moved me to tears. 7. Overrated but still pretty good. 6. 3 years and I'm still trying to work out how this qualified. 5. Dang, Italy. Dang. 4. I... don't get on with this song, seems like a vocal flex to me (or maybe I'm just uncultured lol) 3. My winner, I could talk about this for days and how it was horribly robbed, but now I'm so glad someone actually likes this. 2. Albania doesn't send a woman with a powerful voice and ballad? In what universe? (I love the result though) 1. This is great, I don't care if it's political or whatever, feels very French but unique within that, yeah I can see why people like it so much
Commenting here once again, Galdiator Papai Jostanimator 43: eh 42: eh 41: the song is boring af but his vocals are good, last was expected (Especially being placed 2nd running order in one of Eurovision's toughest semi's) 40: forgettable 39: the boring version of Hvala ne 38: my school lessons go on longer than their relationship did, cute song tho 37: Mediocre Jowst Ripoff 36: like the song 35: pretty iconic, but ehhhh? 34: Even Rybak's return was better 33: The thing is, she's a good performer, don't know what happened here 32: Like it (No this is not a Zena reference) 31: don't know how to feel about this one, I like it but not too much 30: My 2nd place 29: I don't think it would've done so well if it wasn't Rybak.. 28: Sadly it's pretty mediocre, but all of us have a little SuRie Stannery in us after what happened on stage 27: By his looks, this staging brought him to poverty 26: this is great 25: pretty good 24: a nice song, think it should've qualified 23: a cute song for being about a breakup 22: put that dress in the trash were it belongs, throw the song in there while you're at it, Sennek 21: eh 20: nice 19: eh 18: this is peak eurovision, all it needs is more campy elements 17: a m a z i n g 16: pretty good winner 15: onk 14: this is great too, second to last place was harsh 13: 3rd was maybe a little overrated but eh 12: wth is this performance 11: Lithuania serves yet again 10: This BANGED, 21st? Nuh-uh 9: I've been listening to this all day for the past 2 days, help. 8: never felt anything from this song 7: yeah yeah fire 6: Still can't see how it didn't qualify 5: My winner 4: her vocals omg 3: I like it but I feel you guys stan it to the extreme 2: poor chinese 1: Lovely song My top 5: 5: Norway 4: Moldova 3: Finland 2: Latvia 1: Italy
41: he's pure tbh it stops me from HATING the song 38: song a bit basic but I feel like the ~true lovers~ angle pushes me to dislike it lol 36: I don't rlly get why ppl like the song but I accept it, she seems nice 35: I vibed w it at first but it's kind of irritating 33: I feel like she did it more like a live gig than televised show 31: I just think they're rlly underrated by ppl who write off all slow/folk songs 😭 I'd rank this 20s now deffo 29: honestly his natural charm is almost all this song has going for it 28: SHE'S THE SWEETEST deffo my fav recent UK entrant as a person 26: love this a lot tbh, it's like top 15 for me now 24: yh!!! Kind of underrated!!! 23: I 180'd on this kind of love it again lol 22: the song is great but this is embarassing 21: I'm so done with this song lol 16: I support her against the h8rs but it's still one of my least fav winners lol 14: SAARA BULLYING IS ILLEGAL HERE love her sm ❤️ 13: lowkey overrated but I looove an underdog 12: unfortunately the song still slaps hard 10: YEAH I love it more everyday, they got ROBBED 9: it's so repayable but mostly I love his energy haha 8: HE LITERALLY CRIED..... 7: queen, end of discussion 6: the people are tasteless 5: this left the biggest impression of the night on me 3: it just sounds so pretty and perfect I love it ❤️ love Conan and Salvador more tho lol, but they're the holy Portuguese trinity 1: still love it but prefer Mall these days haha For some reason u gave me Eugent stan vibes so I made that assumption 😂
Late comment, anyone? *NOTE* : Please respect my opinion and there would be some wrong grammar, please forgive me 43) Pretty much messy on the stage and terrible song writing but I like the robot, at least they tried something new 42) Vocal........this song is not for her. That just so sad because she wanted to represent Russia when she is like that :( 41) Not really deserved to be last but it’s just forgettable? The staging is weird, so do the backing vocal 40) Mediocore song, weird staging, ok you’re now sure that you won’t qualify 39) One of the biggest crime in this edition! How she is the country WORST results? The song is so good! 38) Alered looks uncomfortable while Amaia looks WAY to comfortable . I like the melody tho. 37) I HATE this! Yeah it’s a new type to the contest but everything is just a big meh 36) I don’t understand the staging and the lyrics, Christabelle is a great singer but........Pretty much a deserved non qualifier 35) How this got 6th? Too many dumb dancing and weird singing, not singing properly but taking dancing properly. 34) This is so cute but how it’s don’t get qualified? Another robbed entry but I guess 11th in the semis is not that bad, hope you return someday with a better song 33) Sream-ish vocal, the song have too much high note and the staging is somehow lame and hilarious 32) Mediocore song, weird staging, take it seriously but don’t worked 31) Something I did expected from Georgia, lot of red on the stage and bring ethic sound and unfortunately I usually HATE those kind of entry 30) The song is good and I loved it, nice voice and great singer but it’s so empty and forgettable on the stage, almost qualified. 29) So annoying, what happened to you? Norway its so annoying and childish! 28) Hey UK, when you song writing involve? The lyrics is so dumb and making no sense, the song is good but not enough to reached my top 30, it’s a strong year 27) Pretty much a cool song man, I love the lyrics and the music but again it’s a strong year 26) Great voice, great song but the staging pretty much ruined everything, this deserved better, Balkan ballad :)))) 25) Hey the staging is abit meh but I love the instrumentals and their voice, the traditional sound 24) A guy with nice voice, strong voice and the song has ethnic sounds, but the staging is too FORGETTABLE! 23) Loved the song and Ireland, that was a brave move! I totally support that, i love the dancer and the singer! So cute
(the top 10 is in another comment because it ended up being too long) 43: this song sounds eerily similar to “heroes”, and includes a very unnecessary rap verse and quite a strange idea for a staging (i hope this year will not turn out like 2011, and i know it won’t since i know all the song!) (sorry i say very random things at very random times). there are not many positive things i can say about this entry. in conclusion, a wonderful choice for a 43rd place. 42: the song, to me, sounds like it has potential to be a good song. i like some parts of it (there are some parts of songs i find terrible that i actually appreciate), but overall, the song is quite dull. the staging is a bit ridiculous. i get why you would take the idea of a mountain theme for a song named “i won’t break”, but this was a bit too much. the singer definitely looks horribly uncomfortable, and overall, i can see that my country did not really want to try that year. 41: i mostly judge eurovision songs by listening experience. his voice did not irritate me, so the entry escalated from being the worst of the worst to being an “eh” entry. 40: like russia’s song, it has potential to be a good song, but at the same time... it doesn’t. the message is not really effective; i would not even get the message if i was listening to it for the first time, as it is one of those times where the lyrics kind of blend in with the music, making them unnoticeable. 39: this definitely is quite dull and would pass as background music. i would though, question how awkward the people in whatever elevator this would be playing in would feel when the unnecessary spoken word part comes on... 38: the singers’ vocal abilities don’t match well at all; one sings better than the other. i have never been in a relationship, but i can already understand that this is definitely not what love feels like. 37: compared to some of that year’s non-qualifiers, this is actually quite a good dance pop song, even though i’m not a fan of those. however, the performance was definitely more than awkward. 36: i quite like the idea too, and for some reason, i started to pay attention to the lyrics of this song on my first listen. the staging... made absolutely no sense to me though. 35: definitely agree with you on this one! i’m definitely not a fan of this entry. i’m not the biggest fan of hip-hop, but i can clearly see how much this entry messes up that genre. the performance was very cringe-worthy and the lyrics were... trashy, but not the good kind of trashy. however, the czech republic, in my opinion, had one of the best postcards in that year (well, that was random to mention!)! 34: this song is quite cute, but definitely not the best of that year. i am pretty sure that there were much better things than it in the semi-final it was in. 33: this song does not really fit my taste, and the chorus and the verses are very bland. the theme of love really reminds me of denmark’s 2019 entry for some reason. 32: the staging has potential to be a good staging idea, but turned into an increasingly weird mess. i had a friend who was quite a fan of alekseev’s other songs, and i can clearly tell from experience listening to them that he can do better than this. 31: very dull and irritating song, in my opinion, but i respect what you think about it. i seriously have not paid attention to the performance when i watched this entry, so i cannot really say anything about it. 30: i cannot really say anything about this entry, as it is just “okay” entry for me. i did not really feel anything when listening to it. 29: i never really liked “fairytale”, but i can tell that this is about a thousand times worse than it. this sounds like a children’s song to me, though the staging was quite creative. it’s also incredibly annoying. 28: surie made this song sound sweet, however, this song still sounds pretty average and would probably not qualify if it was not an automatic qualifier. 27: i honestly hate this song so much. i’m not a big fan of the country rock genre and the song is very irritating and annoying. i can agree with you, it’s just a “whatever” entry. 26: this was actually very pleasant to listen to, and i would not expect something like this from montenegro! the staging definitely was a bit odd, but the song was definitely outstanding. 25: the moment i heard this song was the moment when serbia stopped being my favourite country in eurovision. this song sounded awful in general to me, though i quite like the mixture between traditional and modern! 24: this is quite a powerful song, but it took quite a long time to get to the climax. overall, i cannot say much about it. 23: it’s quite great and gentle. the staging does not fit the theme of the song and feel a little forced, and eurovision fans definitely talk more about the staging than this song. (number) 22 (why am i being reminded of other irish eurovision entries all of a sudden?): okay, i never heard anyone call her dress a “shower curtain”, but now i can clearly see the resemblance! overall, it’s quite a good art pop song that i quite like! 21: of you remember my ranking of 2010, i mentioned that i love some random parts in some songs, like the verses in “run away”. this one also has one of these parts, and that’s when he sings “i might now” in the chorus. overall, this is quite pleasant, but definitely not the best. 20: okay, straight after i talked about it, another one of those songs with random parts i love! this time, it’s the pre-chorus, especially the part before they pretended to have a technical issue (which was really odd, by the way). and yes, “slovenian trap music” and “hungarian metalcore” was not something i expected to hear. 19: the performance was definitely bland, lost and forgotten, but the song was fantastic, ethnic and dramatic (and one of the only greek-language ethnic songs i actually like without it being irritating!). 18: okay, i also do not get the “oh my god vikings” thing (though this was unexpected for denmark to send to eurovision), but i this the song is quite great and outstanding. i liked it since the very first time i heard it though, so i cannot really say if it grew on me or not. 17: okay, the staging was... fantastic. a lot of people hated the song, but this was just beyond creative, and they performed it flawlessly, even though there were so many things that could go wrong. 16: okay, definitely not my winner, but actually the second eurovision song i heard, as my friend used to love this and showed it to me. i don’t like this entry and find it ridiculous, and i think that there are some better songs that had a chance to win that year. 15: this song is quite good and atmospheric, though the band members clearly have different levels of vocal abilities. 14: i also love the theme of the song. it definitely deserved higher than 25th place, even though the staging was a bit too much, but just like saara wanted, “something that has never been done in eurovision before”! 13: okay, i kind of still question why i like this and hate sweden 2018, but overall, it’s quite a charming song when performed by cezar (sorry, but when a participant is called cezar, i start thinking of a specific romanian entry, which i think was from 2013), of course (otherwise this would be incredibly creepy). 12: okay, i’m not a fan of this song, but i respect your opinion. i never really enjoyed this song and it never made any impression on me, and i almost never listen to it. and yes, the live was definitely a great big mess. 11: when i first listened to this, i thought it would sound better performed in a more deep, male voice and i did not like the entry. but now, i actually think this song is great and my opinion on it has changed! ieva’s voice is absolutely beautiful, but this entry did not really make me cry (another entry did, though).
Really have no idea why some people think the Israel entry is good. Thankfully a lot of people do not agree to its win. Actually Albania deserved winning in my opinion.

@AlexYT Placing my top 10 was so hard because this was my favourite year and I LOVE all those songs.... Maybe Meta and Moro deserved a bump?? Either way, that's an excellent choice of favourite. ❤️
Same winner! One of the best ESC entries of all time.

I agree on Macedonia it has such a great studio version but the live was absolutely messy. 🥺
Portugal placing last in the Grand Final was a crime it’s in my top 20 ❤️😭
Thank you from Germany 🇩🇪
About Romania I love these type of Rock songs it feels so nostalgic to me and has a great message too. But I get that it’s definitely not for everyone. 😊
Nice list 👍
Hi!! If it was just the song and nothing else, Lost and Found would be my favourite Macedonian entry! I love it, it's so catchy and mysterious. Unfortunately that live was indeed pretty awful. (And Kaliopi is more iconic so she's my actual overall favourite!)
Michael Schulte is definitely someone to be proud of. 😊 The top 10 or so of this year is all songs I absolutely adore and his is one of them. He did a great job on the jury this year too. (Ranked Soldi #1!)
Romania... Hmm. I do see why people like it a lot, it's definitely a song that sets out to be powerful and uplifting. But to me the message was like "stop being depressed, be happy!!!" and I didn't really like that. But sometimes a simple idea can get through to people really well and a lot of people who saw it live said it felt powerful. I do think I was a little bit harsh on it in hindsight. Someone said it sounds like a song from the Treasure Planet movie (which I love!!) and now I can't stop thinking about it. :)
And I do appreciate a big fan of the Italian song!! I know 5th seems a little low but like I said, I loooved all the song I ranked the highest.
Omg and don't even get me started on Claudia and Isaura. :( I wish they'd had more help on staging it to be more memorable bc I heard they had to do most of it themselves.
eurovision gal yes but unfortunately Michael didn’t rank Hatari high enough :(
@@eurovisionsarah424 humans are flawed beings so I'll accept his rare mistakes 😂
eurovision gal yeah you’re right and him bringing my country back to the top 5 for one year kinda makes up for it. ❤️🇩🇪
Estonia was my favorite, and its nice to see you put her so high :)
switzerland in top 6
My top 5:
1. ESTONIA

You made my country win? Thank you ! That was unexpected. I love that song too, I ranked it 2nd behind Germany.
Love your comments - always insightful. Melovin is definitely our unintelligible king haha
10: i also do not know anything about this type of metal, but this was insanely powerful. the guitar instrumental in the beginning immediately attracted me to the song, the lead singer has a strong and powerful voice, and i overall enjoy this type of music, so i absolutely adored it! in 2018, i had three winners, and this was one of them.
9: okay, back to “random parts of songs i love”, this one also has something like this. in this case, it’s the verses. they’re incredibly great and give off the dark atmosphere that i think the entry is supposed to create. the chorus, however... disappointed me. overall, this is not my favourite.
8: the song is absolutely sweet and is performed by an amazing singer. this almost made me cry, but i actually do not remember if i cried or not. overall, this song is great, but still not my favourite.
7: i live in cyprus, and when i came to school the day after the contest, i remember almost everyone (mostly the boys) being disappointed with the fact that this did not win. eleni definitely slayed the stage with the awesome choreography, and this would definitely make a good winning song. although, on the cypriot radio, “toy” played more frequently than this.
6: the message of the song was delivered flawlessly and the performance was incredible. the flare moment was unforgettable, and this is definitely one of my favourite non-qualifiers of that year.
5: and there’s another one of my winners! the message of this song is incredible and the few lines of russian text displayed on the screen were enough to bring me to tears. this entry gave me chills, and made me want to immediately put it as a first place; in 2018, i had three winners, and this was one of them.
4: and there’s another one! one thing i really love about opera songs is when they create a sort of atmosphere; to me, this one did it perfectly. elina’s voice is incredible and the dress is absolutely stunning, and the song really sounds unearthly and unreal. in 2018, i had three winners, and this was one of them.
3: okay, i was not really a big fan of this entry, but i understand why you like it. i agree that it created a gentle, hopeful atmosphere.
2: once again, we don’t agree, but i still respect your opinion! i agree that eugent is a talented vocalist, however, the song sounded somewhat irritating to me.
1: it seems that we never agree on our winners! this used to be my winner once, but not anymore because of a family member that liked the song and asked me to play it to them a lot of the time. i grew off this entry, but i still like it quite a lot and i’m glad that i now remember all of the lyrics (there are much more embarrassing things i know all of the lyrics to, for example, san marino 2019).
(also, i’m sorry if you find any typos, as i always make a lot of them while typing very long stuff like this. i’m quite embarrassed from 2010, when i forgot to type “not” in front of “my favourite” on romania’s entry!)
hello part 2 :) also don't be embarrassed by typos omg!! i can always tell what you mean and i literally make a bunch of them in my videos themselves!
10: this year is honestly so good i would've been happy to see anything from my top 10 win!! this song is amazing.
9: the verses are very cool, i think perhaps the chorus is a little generic? kind of basic and poppy, but i still like it. i also... had no idea what he was saying throughout, even as a native english speaker. literally the only phrase i picked up on first few listens was something about a decision. maybe he should have sang in Ukrainian. i'd probably move this entry just out of my top 10 if i redid this ranking.
8: very beautiful!! i think this type of song feels a little too familiar and overdone, but the emotion is so real that i love it anyway.
7: i think toy as a song is probably technically stronger, but fuego was a full PERFORMANCE, it's so fun to watch.
5: i'm so happy they came third in the televote!! they really connected with people, it's amazing. i don't usually like graphics that are added digitally, but in this case, they were used flawlessly. i also get so emotional every time i hear this.
4: yes!! the atmosphere here was stunning, it really felt like a winner to me. i just love elina in general, i think she could make a great comeback one day.
3: this top 3 is VERY self indulgent and i deffo don't expect to find someone with the same top 3 :,) it was hard to pick because there genuinely are like ten songs that i would have loved to see win, so i just went with whatever gave me the most feelings!
2: the song is pretty subjective, i was thrilled he got so far after consistently being at the bottom of the odds. it's hard to describe, but eugent just has this really warm, friendly vibe that makes me feel so happy whenever i hear this song.
1: definitely has the potential to be overplayed, so i see what you mean! i just love the beautiful message and the pretty instrumentals.
Albania is my runner-up for 2018 as well.
I'm touched that you put Mercy in first place.
My top 10
Italia Non mi avette fatto niente
Francia Mercy
Bulgaria Bones
Dinamarca Higher Ground
Armenia Qami
Austria Nobody but you
Estonia La forza
Albania Mall
Alemania You let me walk alone
Montenegro Inje
Is that Italy or Montenegro at number one? :)
Italy 1. Sorry.
Same Winner ❤️ 🇮🇹
Finally someone else with Montenegro in top 10, and my winner was Albania
Germany deserved winning that year.
Nobody can tell me anything else.
Yes, Mall! Really good song with great vocals. Pretty good list!
I just found out La Forza has 5.1k dislikes on the official music video and I'm mad.
still mad
@@DentalFlan me too wtf
thx for showing the swiss some respect
I had to because the voters at home didn't 🥺
@@eurovisiongal7007 yeah also thx for including them in ur top 30 songs of the decade
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Wow you have taste
I may be a bit biased tho as you put my winners as 6 and 3
Why thank u :) I love both those songs!!
My question: WHY does no one talk about Qami more? It's so amazing and big and cinematic and powerful but the people were like "this sucks let's bring LITHUANIA to the grand final", like I've HAD it with you people.
I have a love-hate relationship with this ranking
could you please explain to me what is funny in the bones lyrics? im asking seriously cuz i dont know i read it multiple times and they are a bit odd but funny? idk I WANT TO KNOW YOUR POV
I see the “o Jardim” appreciation...
Seems I’ve found a person of culture
God knows what they put into the water in Tirana because every year Albania sends someone who could stop an army with their singing
Here we go
43. I don't hate it as much as other people do, but it still sucks imo
42. Of course she was upset, being sent with such a weak song
41. I physically cannot put this low because he's so sweet, but... yeah.
40. Works well in parts but not together
39. Uninspiring song but she can definitely perform!
38. C H E E S E
37. This used to be my second before the cringe sunk in
36. Pretty meh
35. Oh dang, I used to love this I had no taste
34. Very meh
33. Typical bland Australian pop
32. I put this below 40th, it's so cringe
31. One of those songs I appreciate but can't exactly vibe to
30. Personally, I love this, but respect your opinion
29. This isn't Alexander, it's his little brother in disguise
28. COME ON UK SEND SOMETHING ACTUALLY GOOD FOR ONCE
27. This isn't as bad as I used to think (or maybe I'm just basic)
26. Best Montenegrin entry since Knez
25. I love this, really good blend of traditional and modern sounds
24. What you said
23. Pretty nice song, but the dancers feel really forced (also this is one of the two 2018 entries that was banned in China, the other was Albania)
22. I adore this one so much that the performance doesn't detract
21. I'm undecided
20. This one just annoys me but I can see where the fans come from
19. QUEEEEEEEEEEEEN
18. Looks like I'm undecided both sides of the bridge
17. A sure-fire NQ without that show
16. I don't like this. At all. Or maybe I'm just salty...
15. Top 5 for me, but yeah no chemistry at all between them
14. Overrated imo. I had no idea it was her coming out though, pretty cool
13. Austria just likes cute guys lol. Song slaps so hard though, I like
12. My thoughts exactly. I only liked this after listening to the studio version
11. Not my favourite, but still beautiful
10. RIP Ors. He did Hungary proud.
9. I like this. I just like it.
8. Only ESC song that moved me to tears.
7. Overrated but still pretty good.
6. 3 years and I'm still trying to work out how this qualified.
5. Dang, Italy. Dang.
4. I... don't get on with this song, seems like a vocal flex to me (or maybe I'm just uncultured lol)
3. My winner, I could talk about this for days and how it was horribly robbed, but now I'm so glad someone actually likes this.
2. Albania doesn't send a woman with a powerful voice and ballad? In what universe? (I love the result though)
1. This is great, I don't care if it's political or whatever, feels very French but unique within that, yeah I can see why people like it so much
I love how you just described Spain with C H E E S E
Commenting here once again, Galdiator Papai Jostanimator

33: I feel like she did it more like a live gig than televised show
31: I just think they're rlly underrated by ppl who write off all slow/folk songs 😭 I'd rank this 20s now deffo

POOR San Marino not kast
Late comment, anyone?
*NOTE* : Please respect my opinion and there would be some wrong grammar, please forgive me
43) Pretty much messy on the stage and terrible song writing but I like the robot, at least they tried something new
42) Vocal........this song is not for her. That just so sad because she wanted to represent Russia when she is like that :(
41) Not really deserved to be last but it’s just forgettable? The staging is weird, so do the backing vocal
40) Mediocore song, weird staging, ok you’re now sure that you won’t qualify
39) One of the biggest crime in this edition! How she is the country WORST results? The song is so good!
38) Alered looks uncomfortable while Amaia looks WAY to comfortable . I like the melody tho.
37) I HATE this! Yeah it’s a new type to the contest but everything is just a big meh
36) I don’t understand the staging and the lyrics, Christabelle is a great singer but........Pretty much a deserved non qualifier
35) How this got 6th? Too many dumb dancing and weird singing, not singing properly but taking dancing properly.
34) This is so cute but how it’s don’t get qualified? Another robbed entry but I guess 11th in the semis is not that bad, hope you return someday with a better song
33) Sream-ish vocal, the song have too much high note and the staging is somehow lame and hilarious
32) Mediocore song, weird staging, take it seriously but don’t worked
31) Something I did expected from Georgia, lot of red on the stage and bring ethic sound and unfortunately I usually HATE those kind of entry
30) The song is good and I loved it, nice voice and great singer but it’s so empty and forgettable on the stage, almost qualified.
29) So annoying, what happened to you? Norway its so annoying and childish!
28) Hey UK, when you song writing involve? The lyrics is so dumb and making no sense, the song is good but not enough to reached my top 30, it’s a strong year
27) Pretty much a cool song man, I love the lyrics and the music but again it’s a strong year
26) Great voice, great song but the staging pretty much ruined everything, this deserved better, Balkan ballad :))))
25) Hey the staging is abit meh but I love the instrumentals and their voice, the traditional sound
24) A guy with nice voice, strong voice and the song has ethnic sounds, but the staging is too FORGETTABLE!
23) Loved the song and Ireland, that was a brave move! I totally support that, i love the dancer and the singer! So cute
I think I'm only who LOVED Iceland 2018❤ lol I'm ready for hates😅
He's quite cute tbh I get why you might like it after all 😂 I almost softened on it when I did this ranking but I just preferred other songs.
Also love it. Didn’t deserve last place. There were worse songs (ex. Poland)
Of course is just my opinion.
Noooo!!! You're not the the only one! I also love it ;)
Anouk Tiggelman yessss❤️
(the top 10 is in another comment because it ended up being too long)
43: this song sounds eerily similar to “heroes”, and includes a very unnecessary rap verse and quite a strange idea for a staging (i hope this year will not turn out like 2011, and i know it won’t since i know all the song!) (sorry i say very random things at very random times). there are not many positive things i can say about this entry. in conclusion, a wonderful choice for a 43rd place.
42: the song, to me, sounds like it has potential to be a good song. i like some parts of it (there are some parts of songs i find terrible that i actually appreciate), but overall, the song is quite dull. the staging is a bit ridiculous. i get why you would take the idea of a mountain theme for a song named “i won’t break”, but this was a bit too much. the singer definitely looks horribly uncomfortable, and overall, i can see that my country did not really want to try that year.
41: i mostly judge eurovision songs by listening experience. his voice did not irritate me, so the entry escalated from being the worst of the worst to being an “eh” entry.
40: like russia’s song, it has potential to be a good song, but at the same time... it doesn’t. the message is not really effective; i would not even get the message if i was listening to it for the first time, as it is one of those times where the lyrics kind of blend in with the music, making them unnoticeable.
39: this definitely is quite dull and would pass as background music. i would though, question how awkward the people in whatever elevator this would be playing in would feel when the unnecessary spoken word part comes on...
38: the singers’ vocal abilities don’t match well at all; one sings better than the other. i have never been in a relationship, but i can already understand that this is definitely not what love feels like.
37: compared to some of that year’s non-qualifiers, this is actually quite a good dance pop song, even though i’m not a fan of those. however, the performance was definitely more than awkward.
36: i quite like the idea too, and for some reason, i started to pay attention to the lyrics of this song on my first listen. the staging... made absolutely no sense to me though.
35: definitely agree with you on this one! i’m definitely not a fan of this entry. i’m not the biggest fan of hip-hop, but i can clearly see how much this entry messes up that genre. the performance was very cringe-worthy and the lyrics were... trashy, but not the good kind of trashy. however, the czech republic, in my opinion, had one of the best postcards in that year (well, that was random to mention!)!
34: this song is quite cute, but definitely not the best of that year. i am pretty sure that there were much better things than it in the semi-final it was in.
33: this song does not really fit my taste, and the chorus and the verses are very bland. the theme of love really reminds me of denmark’s 2019 entry for some reason.
32: the staging has potential to be a good staging idea, but turned into an increasingly weird mess. i had a friend who was quite a fan of alekseev’s other songs, and i can clearly tell from experience listening to them that he can do better than this.
31: very dull and irritating song, in my opinion, but i respect what you think about it. i seriously have not paid attention to the performance when i watched this entry, so i cannot really say anything about it.
30: i cannot really say anything about this entry, as it is just “okay” entry for me. i did not really feel anything when listening to it.
29: i never really liked “fairytale”, but i can tell that this is about a thousand times worse than it. this sounds like a children’s song to me, though the staging was quite creative. it’s also incredibly annoying.
28: surie made this song sound sweet, however, this song still sounds pretty average and would probably not qualify if it was not an automatic qualifier.
27: i honestly hate this song so much. i’m not a big fan of the country rock genre and the song is very irritating and annoying. i can agree with you, it’s just a “whatever” entry.
26: this was actually very pleasant to listen to, and i would not expect something like this from montenegro! the staging definitely was a bit odd, but the song was definitely outstanding.
25: the moment i heard this song was the moment when serbia stopped being my favourite country in eurovision. this song sounded awful in general to me, though i quite like the mixture between traditional and modern!
24: this is quite a powerful song, but it took quite a long time to get to the climax. overall, i cannot say much about it.
23: it’s quite great and gentle. the staging does not fit the theme of the song and feel a little forced, and eurovision fans definitely talk more about the staging than this song.
(number) 22 (why am i being reminded of other irish eurovision entries all of a sudden?): okay, i never heard anyone call her dress a “shower curtain”, but now i can clearly see the resemblance! overall, it’s quite a good art pop song that i quite like!
21: of you remember my ranking of 2010, i mentioned that i love some random parts in some songs, like the verses in “run away”. this one also has one of these parts, and that’s when he sings “i might now” in the chorus. overall, this is quite pleasant, but definitely not the best.
20: okay, straight after i talked about it, another one of those songs with random parts i love! this time, it’s the pre-chorus, especially the part before they pretended to have a technical issue (which was really odd, by the way). and yes, “slovenian trap music” and “hungarian metalcore” was not something i expected to hear.
19: the performance was definitely bland, lost and forgotten, but the song was fantastic, ethnic and dramatic (and one of the only greek-language ethnic songs i actually like without it being irritating!).
18: okay, i also do not get the “oh my god vikings” thing (though this was unexpected for denmark to send to eurovision), but i this the song is quite great and outstanding. i liked it since the very first time i heard it though, so i cannot really say if it grew on me or not.
17: okay, the staging was... fantastic. a lot of people hated the song, but this was just beyond creative, and they performed it flawlessly, even though there were so many things that could go wrong.
16: okay, definitely not my winner, but actually the second eurovision song i heard, as my friend used to love this and showed it to me. i don’t like this entry and find it ridiculous, and i think that there are some better songs that had a chance to win that year.
15: this song is quite good and atmospheric, though the band members clearly have different levels of vocal abilities.
14: i also love the theme of the song. it definitely deserved higher than 25th place, even though the staging was a bit too much, but just like saara wanted, “something that has never been done in eurovision before”!
13: okay, i kind of still question why i like this and hate sweden 2018, but overall, it’s quite a charming song when performed by cezar (sorry, but when a participant is called cezar, i start thinking of a specific romanian entry, which i think was from 2013), of course (otherwise this would be incredibly creepy).
12: okay, i’m not a fan of this song, but i respect your opinion. i never really enjoyed this song and it never made any impression on me, and i almost never listen to it. and yes, the live was definitely a great big mess.
11: when i first listened to this, i thought it would sound better performed in a more deep, male voice and i did not like the entry. but now, i actually think this song is great and my opinion on it has changed! ieva’s voice is absolutely beautiful, but this entry did not really make me cry (another entry did, though).
oooh long comment sounds good!! especially for my favourite year
My winner France as well ❤️
Really have no idea why some people think the Israel entry is good. Thankfully a lot of people do not agree to its win. Actually Albania deserved winning in my opinion.

Cool that you agree with the results for the top 2! I wish Elina came third, but I was pretty happy to see Cesar being an underdog.
Georgia 40th and Cyprus 2nd? Stupid pop without anything special over real music which really reflects the country’s beautiful culture?
@@esctoroshelidze5439 I changed a lot since 1 month. I like Georgia more and Cyprus grew off of me. Also it's my opinion. Respect it.
