Posted March 11, 201213 yr And by that I mean what was your ultimate favourite song from each contest from 2000 onwards, and where did it finish in the contest, do your favourites tend to do well or flop? Mine; 2000 - Estonia: Ines - Once In A Lifetime - 4th 2001 - Estonia: Tanel Padar & Dave Benton - Everybody - 1st 2002 - Malta: Ira Losco - 7th Wonder - 2nd 2003 - Iceland: Birgitta - Open Your Heart - 8th 2004 - Ukraine: Ruslana - Wild Dances - 1st 2005 - Switzerland: Vanilla Ninja - Cool Vibes - 8th 2006 - United Kingdom: Daz Sampson - Teenage Life - 19th 2007 - United Kingdom: Scooch - Flying The Flag (For You) - 22nd (shameful I know, but honesty is the best policy) 2008 - Norway: Maria Haukaas Storeng - Hold On Be Strong - 5th 2009 - Norway: Alexander Rybak - Fairytale - 1st 2010 - Germany: Lena Meyer-Landrut - Satellite - 1st 2011 - United Kingdom: Blue - I Can - 11th Short of a miracle happen, I've just noticed that this will be the first EVER year that Sweden will have sent my absolute favourite entry :o They annually finish 2nd or 3rd in my final rankings! Quite strange considering that they're my favourite ESC country by far. Even the glorious Den Vilda in 1996 was bettered by Gina G! When I'm not getting all patriotic and getting behind the UK entries that go on to flop, all of my favourites actually do pretty well. Now PLEASE let Loreen continue what 2009 and 2010 started, Ell & Nikki winning did not please me.

March 11, 201213 yr Wait, somebody else has Everybody as their 2001 fave? I thought I was alone in loving (and voting for) that winner :cheer: It's more of a DEFAULT fave. I don't particularly like any other song and Everybody is good.
March 11, 201213 yr Author It's more of a DEFAULT fave. I don't particularly like any other song and Everybody is good. I thought you'd have some love for Je N'ai Que Mon Ame at the very least :o
March 11, 201213 yr 2000: Denmark - Olsen Brothers - Fly On The Wings Of Love - 1st 2001: Greece - Antique - Die For You - 3rd 2002: Malta - Ira Losco - 7th Wonder - 2nd 2003: Turkey - Sertab Erener - Everyway That I Can - 1st 2004: Sweden - Lena Philipsson - It Hurts - 5th 2005: Bosnia Herzegovina - Femminem - Call Me - 14th 2006: Russia - Dima Bilan - Never Let You Go - 2nd 2007: Belarus - Dmitry Koldun - Work Your Magic - 6th 2008: Sweden - Charlotte Perreli - Hero - 18th (biggest injustive EVAR) 2009: Sweden - Malena Ernman - La Voix - 21st 2010: Azerbaijan - Safura - Drip Drop - 5th 2011: Sweden - Eric Saade - Popular - 3rd
March 11, 201213 yr 2003: Turkey - Sertab Erener - Everyway That I Can - 1st 2004: Sweden - Lena Philipsson - It Hurts - 5th 2005: Bosnia Herzegovina - Femminem - Call Me - 14th 2006: Russia - Dima Bilan - Never Let You Go - 2nd 2007: Belarus - Dmitry Koldun - Work Your Magic - 6th 2008: Sweden - Charlotte Perreli - Hero - 18th (biggest injustive EVAR) 2009: Sweden - Malena Ernman - La Voix - 21st Interesting. You gave 12 points in Super Eurovision to only FOUR of them. The other three got one of the places in their respective year's Top 4. SHADY. LADY.
March 11, 201213 yr I thought you'd have some love for Je N'ai Que Mon Ame at the very least :o I do like it, but it just doesn't feel like the best song of the year.
March 11, 201213 yr Interesting. You gave 12 points in Super Eurovision to only FOUR of them. The other three got one of the places in their respective year's Top 4. SHADY. LADY. INTERESTING indeed, I'd like to say it wasn't tactical voting but I would be lying.
March 11, 201213 yr While I've never missed a show, it's only since 2008 I've took a close interest in it. So... 2008 - Ukraine "Shady Lady" 2nd 2009 - Ukraine "Be My Valentine" 12th 2010 - Iceland "Je Ne Sais Quai" (totally camp and generic, but can't beat a hefty lady with big lungs) 19th 2011 - Sweden "Popular" (as per majority) 3rd And 2012 - Sweden "Euphoria" (as above) TBC A bit of a mixed bag results wise, but flags bearing the colours blue and yellow seem to float my boat (aside from Iceland, which yes does not have any yellow in).
