I feel bad that Pavel has 26 'very very good' and above songs, and I would only class 13 as a lesser 'very good' :( Either he's easily pleased when it comes to Eurovision or I'm being far too harsh this year...

Don't worry, I'd probably only have about 15 as a lesser very good - and I usually think that I'm easily pleased when it comes to music :o

 

I still can't help but be disappointed in comparison to last year. Only Satellite is in the top ten of my personal chart and usually my top ten is dominated by Eurovision in May, in 2004 I had 7 ESC songs in my top ten one week :o

I think we can all agree that Pavel is just very easily pleased when it comes to Eurovision. Ireland 2007 LIVE version anyone?

At least i don't like almost every song of 2010, like it was just a month ago. :smoke:

 

Overplaying even made Diges AMAZING, so it's overplaying's fault :(

Poor Latvia getting all this hate :(

 

What for? :wub: I have to say though it sounds like she's saying "only mister gawd knows"! :kink:

 

I'll try to update my list later with more songs.

 

edit:

____________________

 

A few changes. The UK move from the bottom of the dirge pile to the top of the bad pile. Not my sort of song, tbh. :( Georgia also move up a few places. Bosnia jump to #3 thanks to the new version. Sweden keep the #1 spot while Germany keep #2 also.

 

I know it must seem like I'm easily pleased this year, but a lot of the songs just happen to be what I love. :heehee:

 

I've finally listened to all the Eurovision songs and below is how I've currently ranked them:

 

Fantastic

So nothing has really changed as my fave two entries remain Azerbaijan and Germany. Ireland is now my third favourite having listened to the song more I've grown to very much like this song. I can see the UK giving Ireland their 12 points but hopefully Azerbaijan and Germany will pick up some points from us too. ^_^

As I continue to up my listening to this year's entries, I realise that Switzerland isn't all that bad and Il Pleut de L'or shoots up to 16th place!!! Russia's monstrosity isn't quite as dire as three other songs I've decided. All are still awful though. Cyprus go back from 'good' to 'very good' and France return to the top ten with their party anthem!!! Sweden and Croatia are casualties this year as the Telephone beating video from Hera Bjork pushes Iceland into 2nd place :cheer: need anyone ask who's #1?

I must must must update this. Lena will have climbed TONS since my last update, it sounds so good on headphones on public transport :lol:

Most of songs grew on me right there :kink:

Some significant climbs and falls. The awful category no longer exists too. The top 2 returns to how it was at the first ranking.

26 great songs now :o compared to my 7 :lol:

:lol:, Eurovision songs are such a huge part of what I listen to it's inevitable that I'll have a huge amount of brilliant/great entries :P

:lol:, Eurovision songs are such a huge part of what I listen to it's inevitable that I'll have a huge amount of brilliant/great entries :P

 

3 weeks before the contest and I can confirm that I will have two in the top ten of my new chart which I'll post up tomorrow. Hera has taken a flying leap off the diving board :kink: back into my top 10 :w00t: At the equivalent stage last year I had 4 ESC songs in my top ten - UK, Norway, Switzerland and Sweden. It all changes again after the contest when I expect my 'great' rankings will stretch to a lot more than 7, and your 'average' rankings will become non-existant :heehee:

Hera going back up :kink: . Was that because of the Candlelight Mix?

I think it was because of the video :kink: At least for me it re-grew just because of that. Top 10 HERE WE GO. :w00t:

Ha, it was indeed because of that video, which made me love the song more each time! Mainly the 'don't you know who I am?' pose at the start :lol: the whole concept is hilarious though.
