Under The Ladder is meant to be SO much more anthemic than it actually ends up being. Also, still f*** Ukraine xx

I got a bit carried away with the Sognu hype at the time. I guess it was favourite as it just stood out above the largely bland field in studio form, but live it wasn't as impactful at all. And I guess we all overestimated that while being different from the rest of the field can often win Eurovision, just as often it doesn't work at all. I do still like the track however but I don't actively seek it out to listen to a lot these days.
I do however still love To Live For Love, and still regularly listen to it in fact but 2001 was the first contest I was ever truly invested in (though I did watch it in both 1999 and 2000) so I have a lot more nostalgic love for it than most people probably do. |

I love Silent Storm, one of the best Eurovision ballads because I find that Carl's voice (and the lyrical content) keeps me interested in what's going to happen all of the way through. I think that final chorus is really quite... quietly impactful actually.
Sognu has grown on me a lot since the contest but that is largely because of the studio version and my increased appreciation for opera-pop. It's pretty nice. Meanwhile I completely get your feelings on Vida Minha and One Night's Anger, nice stuff but not that essential. (aside from Reise Nach Jerusalem, everything in the 5 before that is awful) |

Serbia remains the only country to have not lost a single song and Monaco is still the only country to have lost all of theirs although both Andorra and Slovakia remain on their last leg here. Montenegro and Portugal also inch closer to extinction than ever so it's interesting to see if any of these countries lose their final songs in the next 100 eliminations or not. Some of the biggest drops of the Top 500 belong to Poland (36-43), Israel (32-41), Georgia (31-39), Croatia (26-37), Malta (18-32) and perhaps the biggest drop in the lower half: Belarus (11-25). These have all lost a lot of mediocre songs but still have some very strong contenders left which might hold the competition back for a while. Droping out of the Top 10 now are: Ukraine (9-12) which lost three songs since last count; Norway (6-15) which lost 5 of its' 7 eliminees between 500 and 400; and Denmark (2-15) who were in second place at the Top 500 having only lost one song but now they've lost 6 more. New in the top 10 however are Iceland (13-6), Armenia (16-9) and Australia (15-10), none of which lost any songs since the last count. This goes for all of our Top 4 as well. Some other notable climbers include San Marino (27-13), Romania (23-14), Spain (28-17), Hungary (33-20) and Belgium (39-29) who have all either lost no entries since the Top 500 (San Marino, Hungary & Belgium) or only one song (Romania & Spain) which explains the rise. The countries with the most losses in the last 100 eliminations are Denmark and Malta with 6 each, followed by Croatia, Israel, Norway and Poland with 5 each. Together they make up for almost 1/3 of all the eliminees since #500.

The highest non-top ten position is twelfth followed by (surprisingly) twenty-sixth placers (aka. the absolute last place you can get in the final) which has an advantage since it only has 9 entries but still 7 of those are still in it. The lowest placing top ten position is eighth place which has lost 12 songs so far and the lowest placing positions in total are twenty-fourth placers followed closely by seventeenth and fifteenth placers (who were top 10 last count). DNQ's have now taken the last place after being a bit higher in the last count, but as you can see the difference between DNQ's and twenty-fourth placers is only 0.1%. |
