January 19, 20178 yr It really isn't a good bunch, I only have two of them on my Eurovision playlist and I'd happily never hear most of them again. The fact I have LENA so high should be evidence enough as to how bad everything else is. 10 Serbia 2008 // Jelena Tomašević feat. Bora Dugic - Oro 09 Azerbaijan 2012 // Sabina Babayeva - When The Music Dies 06 Russia 2009 // Anastasia Prikhodko - Mamo 06 Germany 2011 // Lena - Taken By A Stranger 06 Finland 2007 // Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone 05 Norway 2010 // Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours 05 Austria 2015 // The Makemakes - I Am Yours 03 Sweden 2013 // Robin Stjernberg - You 03 Denmark 2014 // Basim - Cliché Love Song 00 Sweden 2016 // Frans - If I Were Sorry
January 19, 20178 yr I think most of these are great! Although the weakest four are the most recent four so maybe it was a trend that ended up dying off. The first six are all great. 1. Finland 2007 // Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone 2. Serbia 2008 // Jelena Tomašević feat. Bora Dugic - Oro 3. Russia 2009 // Anastasia Prikhodko - Mamo 4. Germany 2011 // Lena - Taken By A Stranger 5. Norway 2010 // Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours 6. Azerbaijan 2012 // Sabina Babayeva - When The Music Dies --- 7. Sweden 2013 // Robin Stjernberg - You 8. Sweden 2016 // Frans - If I Were Sorry 9. Austria 2015 // The Makemakes - I Am Yours --- 10. Denmark 2014 // Basim - Cliché Love Song yes, mostly chronological is the way I'm ranking these.
January 19, 20178 yr Sweden 2016 // Frans - If I Were Sorry Germany 2011 // Lena - Taken By A Stranger Sweden 2013 // Robin Stjernberg - You Norway 2010 // Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours Finland 2007 // Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone ------------------ Austria 2015 // The Makemakes - I Am Yours Denmark 2014 // Basim - Cliché Love Song Serbia 2008 // Jelena Tomašević feat. Bora Dugic - Oro Russia 2009 // Anastasia Prikhodko - Mamo Azerbaijan 2012 // Sabina Babayeva - When The Music Dies I don't care for any of the bottom five tbh, I like Hanna and Didrik's songs and love the top three <3
January 19, 20178 yr 01 Oro 02 When The Music Dies 03 Leave Me Alone 04 Mamo 05 Taken By A Stranger 06 You 07 My Heart Is Yours 08 If I Were Sorry 09 Cliche Love Song 10 I Am Yours -x- Oro is genuinely an amazing composition of its own right regardless of the 'host entry' tag. It's not exactly a stellar bunch and I only REALLY care for the top three ('Taken By A Stranger' is a bit overrated IMO) but I don't actively dislike any of them (that damn Frans song grew on me dammit!).
January 19, 20178 yr Ooh putting them like that I didn't realise how good the host entries have been over the years! :o Same here! Sweden 2016 // Frans - If I Were Sorry Sweden 2013 // Robin Stjernberg - You Finland 2007 // Hanna Pakarinen - Leave Me Alone Azerbaijan 2012 // Sabina Babayeva - When The Music Dies Serbia 2008 // Jelena Tomašević feat. Bora Dugic - Oro - Germany 2011 // Lena - Taken By A Stranger Denmark 2014 // Basim - Cliché Love Song - Norway 2010 // Didrik Solli-Tangen - My Heart Is Yours Russia 2009 // Anastasia Prikhodko - Mamo - Austria 2015 // The Makemakes - I Am Yours Austria is a total dud. Mamo I'm not THAT fond of as a song, but the performance was an iconic mess, Didrik rather on the dull side. (that damn Basim song grew on me dammit!)

January 20, 20178 yr The last Ukrainian host entry was really significant, I mean, you don't often get songs that are the literal anthem of a revolution on the Eurovision stage. N5u6J_mbhLU I also like it. As opposed to considering it the red-headed stepchild of Ukrainian entries. I kinda hope they've got something similarly meaningful up their sleeves. Oh, and For Real is awesome. pipamUl14A4 I miss Turkey a lot sometimes. And of course Hello From Mars, one of the early Latvian epics and one of those early-00s Eurovision songs that sticks with me really well. Almost as good as Brainstorm. 1LmvswHGeuM They can be good as the song can be a celebration that the country's just won, Greenjolly, Anastasia & Didrik felt like that especially (and for the latter two felt like a real expression of otherwise-repressed Russian personality for Mamo and made what could have been a dull ballad really sweet instead for My Heart Is Yours).
January 20, 20178 yr I'll take Germany 2011 all the way. Sweden 2013 is "OK", the rest are varying degrees of woeful. That Norwegian entry from 2010 was a particular low point... rather like the 2010 contest itself.
