March 19, 201015 yr from now on my rankings will reflect how well the songs are doing in my personal chart - and I'll only regard a song as excellent if it currently resides in my top 50 - I don't chart songs that I don't think are excellent :P Excellent 01 Sweden: Anna Bergendahl - This Is My Life 02 Germany: Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite 03 Ireland: Niamh Kavanagh - It's For You 04 Norway: Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours 05 Belgium: Tom Dice - Me & My Guitar 06 Estonia: Malcom Lincoln - Siren 07 Romania: Paula Seling feat Ovi - Playing With Fire 08 Croatia: Feminnem - Lako Je Sve 09 Azerbaijan: Safura - Drip Drop Great 10 Denmark: Chanée & N'evergreen - In A Moment Like This 11 Moldova: Sunstroke Project feat Olia Tira - Run Away 12 Iceland: Hera Bjork - Je Ne Sais Quoi Good 13 Slovakia: Kristina - Horehronie 14 Cyprus: Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders - Life Looks Better In Spring 15 Turkey: MaNga - We Could Be The Same 16 Armenia: Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone 17 Malta: Thea Garrett - My Dream Average 18 United Kingdom: Josh - That Sounds Good To Me 19 Latvia: Aisha - What For? 20 Israel: Harel Skaat - Milim 21 Finland: Kuunkuiskaajat - Työlki Ellää 22 Portugal: Filipa Azevedo - Há Dias Assim 23 Netherlands: Sieneke - Ik Ben Verliefd (Sha-La-Lie) 24 Bulgaria: Miro - Angel Si Ti 25 Georgia: Sopho Nizharadze - Shine 26 Lithuania: InCulto - Eastern European Funk 27 Greece: Giorgos Alkaios & Friends - Opa 28 Switzerland: Michael von der Heide - Il Pleut de L'or 29 Albania: Juliana Pasha - Nuk Mundam Pa Ty 30 Belarus: Two Plus Three - Far Away 31 Bosnia & Herzegovina: Vukašin Brajić - Thunder And Lightning 32 Serbia: Milan Stankovic - Ovo Je Balkan Awful 33 Slovenia: Anzambel Roka Žlindere & Kalamari - Narodnozabavni Rock 34 Spain: Daniel Diges - Algo Pequeñito 35 Poland: Marcin Mrozinski Legenda Appalling 36 FYR Macedonia: Gjoko Taneski - Jas Ja Imam Silata 37 Russia: Music Group of Peter Nalitch - Lost And Forgotten 9 ESC songs are currently good enough for my top 50 chart, comparing that to this exact week last year there were also 9 :o Maybe the quality's not as bad as I'd thought! Your Great and Good lists were probably larger in comparison to your Average list though last year :P
March 19, 201015 yr Your Great and Good lists were probably larger in comparison to your Average list though last year :P Only one way to find out, looking at the equivalent day last year; gooddelta's official ESC 2009 ranking: 18/3/09 Stunning 1. Norway 2. United Kingdom 3. Sweden 4. Denmark 5. Switzerland 6. Spain 7. Montenegro 8. Finland 9. Ireland 10. Iceland 11. Azerbaijan 12. Malta Very Good 13. Greece 14. Romania 15. Moldova 16. Cyprus 17. Andorra Good 18. Lithuania 19. Bulgaria 20. France 21. Turkey Average 22. Ukraine 23. Hungary 24. Germany 25. Slovenia 26. Israel 27. FYR Macedonia 28. Albania 29. Belgium 30. The Netherlands Poor 31. Estonia 32. Armenia 33. Portugal 34. Russia 35. Poland 36. Czech Republic 37. Bosnia & Herzegovina 38. Croatia Atrocious 39. Belarus 40. Slovakia 41. Serbia 42. Latvia Armenia, Estonia, Portugal and others grew hugely as time progressed...there were 21 'good' songs for me this time last year compared to 17 this year. So the quality's not massively down, but what's missing is the 'amazing' tracks a la Fairytale, It's My Time and La Voix. This Is My Life, Satellite and It's For You are perhaps of the equivalent quality to It's My Time and La Voix for me but I see no Fairytale :P

March 19, 201015 yr For the songs I have on mp3 (I'm reserving judgement on the others until I have them all): Amazing 01 - Ireland - Niamh Kavanagh - It's For You 02 - Sweden - Anna Bergendahl - This Is My Life 03 - Iceland - Hera Bjork - Je Ne Sais Quoi 04 - Croatia - Feminnem - Lako Je Sve 05 - Denmark - Chanee & N'evergreen - In A Moment Like This 06 - Serbia - Milan Stankovic - Ovo Je Balkan 07 - Moldova - SunStroke Project & Olia Tira - Run Away Great 08 - Germany - Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite 09 - Norway - Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours 10 - Netherlands - Sieneke - Ik ben verliefd (Sha-la-lie) // Ridiculously charming! Good 11 - Romania - Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing With Fire // Just a tad overrated? 12 - Armenia - Eva Rivas - Apricot Stone // I've gone off this just a tad... Average 13 - United Kingdom - Josh Dubovie - That Sounds Good To Me // If the revamp doesn't push this into Great for me then we're doomed! 14 - Malta - Thea Garrett - My Dream // Like an early-90s Mariah B-side...I'm waiting for the revamp 15 - Cyprus - Jon Lilygreen & The Islanders - Life Looks Better In Spring // Not awful for me anymore, at least 16 - Turkey - MaNga - We Could Be The Same // About as much as I thought of Athena then, really -- Obviously a bit biased as I didn't download any dreck...
March 19, 201015 yr Kom or Keep On Walking would've done the job for me :( Agreed, I have to say, as anti-BuzzJack as this will sound, I've decided that I considerably favour Keep On Walking over Kom! :wub: it's still no Stay The Night, but what is?
March 19, 201015 yr 18 Slovenia: Kristina - Horehronie 35 Slovenia: Ansambel Roka Žlindre & Kalamari - Narodnozabavni Rock Hmm....something about that doesn't look right :P
March 19, 201015 yr lol don't you mean Croatia? :P Indeed I do :blush: I still associate Feminnem with Bosnia...
March 19, 201015 yr Agreed, I have to say, as anti-BuzzJack as this will sound, I've decided that I considerably favour Keep On Walking over Kom! :wub: it's still no Stay The Night, but what is? I think I love them about equally but Kom just about tops it...the verses of KOW slightly let down the immense chorus, whilst on the other hand Kom has easily the best chorus of the year so far :wub:
March 19, 201015 yr I think I love them about equally but Kom just about tops it...the verses of KOW slightly let down the immense chorus, whilst on the other hand Kom has easily the best chorus of the year so far :wub: As much as I absolutely adore it, Kom is essentially just an advanced version of some of the mid-00's ESC entries mixed with Fairytale, as Peter pointed out previously. Keep On Walking is incredibly anthemic, the chorus is brilliant and Salem is an incredibly likeable artist. Not that Timoteij aren't of course, I just find Salem endearing to listen to and watch somehow, maybe it's his quirkiness. No track on his album sounds like another track, let alone sounding like anything on any other album of his - he lacks identity somewhat :lol: There are no two pictures of him that look remotely like the same person. No wonder he uses Damien Adore as an alias, Backseat couldn't be more different to Keep On Walking!
March 19, 201015 yr Indeed I do :blush: I still associate Feminnem with Bosnia... yeah, many esc fans still do! though none of the girls is bosnian. just one of them is born there but she's croatian by nationality. Edited March 19, 201015 yr by ♫ Boyan ♫

March 19, 201015 yr I don't really like pointing out mistakes, but I'm afraid that you've missed Moldova ;) Oh :unsure:: don't know how I missed them :cry: Will ad them now :D
March 19, 201015 yr You know what people? I think I have totally fallen inlove with ESC 2010.. I think the quality is really good :o Last year people alsow said ESC 2009 sucked, same with 2008.. and every year it tures out to be amazing when the live shows begin :wub: Eurovision 2010 :heart:
March 19, 201015 yr I'd probably be just as in love if Sweden had chosen Kom or Keep On Walking, in all fairness...
