March 11, 201213 yr 2000: Latvia: Brainstorm - My Star - 3rd 2001: Slovenia: Nusa Derenda - Energy - 7th 2002: United Kingdom: Jessica Garlick - Come Back - 3rd 2003: Iceland: Birgitta - Open Your Heart - 8th 2004: Ukraine: Ruslana - Wild Dances - 1st 2005: Iceland: Selma - If I Had Your Love - SF16th 2006: Norway: Christine Guldbrandsen - Alvedansen - 14th 2007: Bulgaria: Elitsa & Stoyan - Water - 5th 2008: Belgium: Ishtar - O Julissi - SF17th 2009: Armenia: Inga & Anush - Jan-Jan - 10th 2010: Iceland: Hera Bjork - Je Ne Sais Quoi - 19th 2011: Hungary: Kati Wolf - What About My Dreams? - 22nd Three Icelandic entries! I adore their 08 and 09 entries equally as much as Ishtar and Inga & Anush respectively too! Like with Rich, no Swedish entries here despite them being one of my most consistently favoured nations! I'm 99.9% sure however that Loreen will end up being my favourite entry of 2012 though! It seems as the years go on I tend to favour more flops than successes :lol: . Hopefully this year will be different!
March 11, 201213 yr 2000: Denmark // Olsen Brothers - Fly On The Wings of Love (1st) 2001: Sweden // Friends - Listen To Your Heartbeat (5th) 2002: Estonia // Sahlene - Runaway (3rd) 2003: Iceland // Birgitta - Open Your Heart (8th) 2004: Ukraine // Ruslana - Wild Dances (1st) 2005: Iceland // Selma - If I Had Your Love (DNQ - 16th) 2006: Sweden // Carola - Invincible (5th) 2007: Spain // D'NASH - I Love You Mi Vida (20th) (YES, 'TWAS ME, AND NO, I DON'T CARE) 2008: Ukraine // Ani Lorak - Shady Lady (2nd) 2009: Albania // Kesji Tola - Carry Me In Your Dreams (17th) 2010: Romania // Paula Seling & Ovi - Playing With Fire (3rd) 2011: Estonia // Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street (24th) The first few years there are very flexible, as I'm still not overly familiar with them - didn't really pay attention until 2005 (apart from when I revelled in it the '96 and '97 contests). So the pattern of picking unpopular ones every other contest may indeed go backwards (and looks good for Loreen going forward!). Edited March 11, 201213 yr by randomfurlong
March 11, 201213 yr I'm doing my best to remember what my favourites at the time were, rather than thinking retrospectively: 2000 - Fly On The Wings of Love (1st) 2001 - Die For You (3rd) 2002 - Come Back (3rd) 2003 - Open Your Heart (8th) 2004 - Jugarem Estimar-Nos (DNQ - oops!) 2005 - My Number One (1st) 2006 - Invincible (5th) 2007 - Questa Notte (16th) 2008 - Shady Lady (2nd) 2009 - Fairytale (1st) 2010 - In A Moment Like This (4th) 2011 - New Tomorrow (5th)
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: But does it really count when it's Pavel?

(Anti-Crisis Girl) (12th) 2010: Azerbaijan - Drip Drop (5th) 2011: Sweden - Popular (3rd) I don't really tend to BACK WINNERS (or indeed much else outside of Scandinavia) but apart from that little blip towards the end of the 00s I do quite well.
